An Appeal to the Public Wins An Appeal the P ALBUQUERQUE, N. M., NEWS. Editor of The Statesman, Denver, Colo. Dear Sir:—My attention was called to the leading article in your paper of Dec. 19th, in reference to the Clansman, in which, after complimenting us upon our timely effort to prevent the play from being shown here, you express a very proper regret that for some unknown reason we failed. The fact is, however, that we succeeded beyond our most sanguine expectation. To convince you of this we send you a copy from appeal (not protest) to the nobler impulses and sentiments of our white citizens, accompanied with it an answer by the representative of the Clansman company and ask you to judge our success or failure by the result, viz.: The presentation of the play has not so far as we can discern caused the slightest difference in the treatment of the colored people by any of our white citizens. Not only that, but many have expressed their disapproval of the play on general principles. In a clipping from the leading paper of New Mexico, which we send, we have underscored the leading thought in the short comment, showing you the general trend of sentiment in this community, brought about by our conservative and at the same time timely stand in the matter. In reading the names of that portion of the committee who were not only willing but anxious to shoulder the responsibility for the movement against the Clansman you will take note that some of the leading men of whom you spoke, for some reason, refused to permit their signatures to be attached. We thought best, under the conditions in our community, to appeal to the general public through our leading paper, rather than to the mayor and council. We are convinced of the wisdom of our course by the increased courtesy shown us by the citizens in general. T. O. MASON, Pres. and Chairman of Committee J. B. SCOTT, Secretary. EXPELLED FROM MASONRY. This is to certify that Dennis D. Cole, after due trial and conviction by Rocky Mountain Lodge No.1, A. F. & A. M., has been expelled for life for conduct unbecoming a Mason. (Signed) WM. SPRAGUE. NICHOLS WRITES STATESMAN LETTER. University Student Smiles and Makes Good. In starting out in the new year all kinds of resolutions are being made and some will be kept while for some reason others will fail. Comes now one of Colorado's boys, who is attending Western University, and informs his erstwhile comrades a few things concerning the seriousness of real life. We quote now from his letter: "Tis the new year and Colorado should know of some of her sons' intentions. Well, I never appreciated anything more in my life than the fact that I am here at this school. I am beginning to see things in a different light and realize life IS a SERIOUS proposition, and that the times demand something more than mere frivolity and foolishness. Confidence can be gained from people with whom you associate, and one can find them willing to assist if they prove a determination to do. I am doing nicely in my studies and for the winter term I have settled down." But here comes the most valuable thought of the whole letter when he comes to the aftermath of his seven or eight years of gaily living, when he says: "The experiences I have had in the eight years past proves to me that sporting life is nothing compared to the life that I am living now and I WOULD GIVE ANYTHING if I COULD GET some of the BOYS TO COME HERE FOR JUST ONE MONTH. It is not only for my own benefit that I am now striving so hard to become somebody, but I keenly realize it means happiness to my mother, sister and the rest of the family. I want to congratulate Mr. Franklin on his splendid address he made while he was out visiting our school. Yours for unbounded success.

H A full house greeted the performers and from the rise of the curtain to the clearing of the floor to dance, there was a snap and go to the performance that was an improvement over the best record heretofore. The entry for the various performers was novel, being done through laying the scene in the offices of the Amusement Company itself and having each number come as if answering an advertisement. Curtis Harris in his makeup served as office manager and paid fabulous sums from his bank account for there was real merit a-plenty to reward. The acts appearing were: E.

Trice, Mr. Leon Pryor; The Great Tie Test, W. A. Rice, the conjuring wonder of magic, second sight and anti-spiritualistic illusionist, assisted by Mr. Curtis, Mr. Harris and Mrs. W. A. Rice. It was a real feast of music and cleverness. Such singers as Mesdames Dishman and Jones, such instrumentalists as Mrs. Faulkner and Prof. Easley can gain no fame from such praise as we can give, for their reputations as superior artists are already made. The duet of Messrs. Burns and Duncan and the quartet were pleasing in their rendition popular music. Thomas is more than fat—he is funny. A novelty on the program was O'Brien. His turn with the bones was worth seeing anywhere and bears comparison with the best vaudeville specialties. Gilmore and Ray continue to improve. Ray's Salome dance threw the house into convulsions of laughter. The expectant public was denied the opportunity of seeing W. A. Rice at his best, owing to the lateness of the hour. Only the memory of his past successes and the hope of seeing him in the future was given as solace. The Amusement Company gets better with each performance, and we are happy to usher it into the larger field or public notice by announcing that it leaves to-day for a Colorado Springs date, and will return and fill one in Boulder. IN MEMORIAM. In loving memory of our darling husband, father and grandfather, Dennis Burns, who passed away one year ago, Jan. 18, 1909. Gone, but not forgotten. A light is from our household gone, A voice we loved is stilled. A place is vacant in our home Which never can be filled. We cannot tell who next may fall Beneath thy chastening rod; One must be first, but let us all Prepare to meet our God. WIFE, SONS, DAUGHTERS AND GRANDCHILDREN. Chance for a Bandmaster. Conway, which is in need of a bandmaster, has issued the following advertisement: "He must be a cornet player, and between performances he will be required to act as a range minder, inspector of hawkers, boats and carriages, storekeeper and such other duties as the town clerk may from time to time direct."—Western Mall. Word Painting. Jimmy (reading)—"Casey swatted de leather into left garden for a brace of sacks, an' den pilfered thoid base an' dented de pan on Mulligan's lallipaloosa dat sailed over Outfielder Shaughnessy's nut." I tell yer, Willie, dat's word-paintin', dat is! Shakespeare never could beat dat! Unobservant Male Dramatists. Masculine dramatists are old-fashioned enough to make their women "catty." It shows a lack of observation to make the feminine character in a modern play behave in the manner of the eighteen-eighties.—London Sketch. Thing Greatly Worth Having. The one thing supremely worth the having is the opportunity, coupled with the capacity, of doing a thing well and worthily, the doing of which is for the welfare of mankind.—Theodore Roosevelt. Friends Seized Opportunity. "How did it happen that your friends got the best of you?" queried the inquisitive person. "They got busy while I was watching my enemies," explained the man who had got the short end of it. Output of One Shoe Factory. Ten thousand pairs of shoes are produced daily from a single eastern factory. Every 24 hours it uses the hides and skins of 7,800 kids, 300 horses and colts, 300 calves and 425 steers. Don't Let Problems Worry. Of course life is full of problems. The only way to get any comfort is to throw them all in the wastebasket and to do the things we can see clearly in daylight. For Married Men. Don't expect to have your own way in life. You must yield one-half at least. Let your wife have her way once in a while and experience a throb of generosity.—Exchange. Tendency to Exaggerate. We exaggerate misfortune and happiness alike. We are never either so wretched or so happy as we say we are.—Balzac. Wise Rule in Austria The government of Austria makes special inducements to farmers who will reclaim water lands and make use of them. Slaughter of the Birds.

DENVER. COLORADO. There has been secured by a New York state pulp company an option on 500,000 cords of sunken pine piling now lying submerged in the Rideau river and lakes back of Kingston, Ontario, Canada. The piling was sunk about 80 years ago when the Rideau river was a center of commercial activity. The piling will be converted by a chemical process into the finest grades of stationery. A Long-Felt Want. This, ladies, is the non-burglar hiding bed, the steel sides of which preclude the possibility of there being a man under the bed, yet can be unlocked and collapsed for the purpose of sweeping, etc. It is especially intended for the use of unmarried women.—Kansas City Times. Where the Clove Tree Thrives. There is no place in the world where the clove tree thrives as well as in the islands of Zanzibar and Pemba. It is the principal product of the islands, and, together with copra and the ivory brought from the mainland, cloves form the principal item of export. Cow's Happy End. George, the four-year-old grandson of an extremely pious and devout grandfather, came rushing into the house a few days ago in a state of wild excitement. "Grandpa! Grandpa!" he called. "Mr. Barton's cow is dead! God called her home!" Virgin Land in Cuba. In the mountain regions in Cuba there are many ridges and valleys of extremely fertile land, nearly all untouched, and existing practically as they did before the time of the Spaniards. Had True Savor of the Sea. At a service of thanksgiving for the harvest of the sea at Port Isaac church, Cornwall, the walls from end to end were draped with fishing nets, while lobster pots and packing barrels occupied the window spaces. Daily Thought. Whatever our place allotted to us by Providence that for us is the post of honor and duty. God estimates us not by the position we are in, but by the way in which we fill it.—Tryon Edwards. A Man's Birthday. We do not know whence a man comes nor whither he goes; yet we choose his birth or death day to celebrate his recurring century. We should choose his day of achievement.—London Saturday Review. Only Road to Success. Remember that you cannot be carried to success in a carriage with the hinges oiled, the backs padded, and the seats cushioned; you must trudge on foot along the dusty highway. Left-Hander Economy. The average man is so economical that he makes his wife's wedding clothes last her two years.—Atchison Globe. Diplomatic Conclusion. Considering the annoyances of life, a patient man or woman is entitled to a great deal of credit.—Atchison Globe. Ancient Ink Better Than Oura. The question of making durable ink perplexes the manufacturers of to day. Observe closely any letter five or ten years old and one will notice that in all probability the writing has faded to a brown color and is very indistinct. Go to any large museum and there will be seen ancient manuscripts the writing of which is as black and distinct as if it had been done the day before yesterday. It ignited. It ignited. Little Rollie, four years old, came to the table, where we had tomato soup, of which he is very fond. Being very hungry, he could not wait for it to cool, but hastily ate two or three spoonfuls; then, laying down his spoon, he exclaimed: "My goodness! that soup is so hot it makes sparks all down me."—Delineator. One of Our Markets. Liverpool, the largest market in the United Kingdom for American cottonseed cake and meal, as well as other imported oil cakes, takes annually between 35,000 and 50,000 tons of American cottonseed cake and meal. Large quantities of cake and meal are sold to other British ports by the Liverpool agents. Shoplifters' Clever Device. When a woman with an infant in her arms was detected in the act of stealing a shawl at a shop in Paris she pleaded that she was utterly destitute, and had taken the shawl to keep the baby warm. But the latter proved to be a hollow tin doll containing stolen articles. Hitting Back. "Your nearest rival gave me a gold bracelet," boasted the pretty girl. "And I will send up my present to-morrow," replied her other suitor, in caustic tones. "Ah, something gold, too." "No; a bottle of acid to test my rival's present." How It Looked. "I think you ought to turn the lights up a little when your beau comes," said the boy who is beginning to use big words to his older sister. "I wouldn't sit in the dim light, if I were you. It looks too conspicuous." Pertinent Question. More than one-half of the diseases humanity suffers from are due to sheer carelessness. And yet we teach hygiene in our schools! What would it be if we did not?—Gazeta Medica, Barcelona. Only Needed a Start. One night little Margaret, on kneeling by her mamma to say her prayers, finished: "Now I lay me," and forgot. "Mamma," she said, "you just start me and then I can go a-whizzing."—Delineator. Marks End of Honeymoon. The honeymoon is mostly over when the couple quit buying their meals in hotels and the bride tries to provide them at home.—New York Press. South Africans Fond of Oatmeal. South Africans are distinctly an oatmeal-eating people, over $300,000 worth of this American breakfast food being imported annually into South Africa. PAGE. 10. Money and Its Drawbacks. Some people are left money just in the nick of time, and make good use of it; it is ruinous to others to receive money that they have never earned. A good many people would never do any work at all if it wasn't for the fact that they had to, and so a wise Providence decrees that money shall not come their way except by the sweat of their brow.—The Captain. Glory. How many metals make the bronze of Corinth? Insults on boards or on paper, the spot of ink or charcoal or mud, the dregs of heart, of mind and of body, the dirt of calumny, all these, under the sun, dry, harden, turn into bronze solid and brilliant—a pure bronze, which is called glory!—Catulle Mendea. Woman's Remarkable Feat. Though the compiling of a dictionary is a task that even a corps of trained editors undertake with no slight hesitation, a Washington woman, Mrs. George H. Gorham, finished the remarkable feat of writing an idiomatic French-English, English-French dictionary entirely unaided. The Lesser Evil. The colored boy employed by a New York lady was named Lycurgus Jones. "Lycurgus is a rather long name," she said to him; "suppose I call you Gus for short." "Ah doesn't like nicknames," he replied: "If you doesn't like Lycurgus, you kin call me Jonesey." She calls him Lycurgus. The Highest Authorities. A Kentucky physician, after extensive experiments, has written a paper to show that whisky aggravates the venom of snake bites. This is testimony from a high source and leaves little to be done except to appeal the case to the supreme experts in North Carolina.—St. Louis Globe-Democrat. Humanitarian Who Failed. A Brooklyn man complains that he lost $500 backing up an invention to prevent snoring. He can at least count on the sympathy of several million "light sleepers," who will join him in heartfelt regrets that the anti-snoring device did not succeed. By the Grace of God Alone. No iron chain, or outward force of any kind, could ever compel the soul of man to believe or to disbelieve; it is his own indefeasible light, that judgment of his; he will reign and believe there by the grace of God alone.—Thomas Carlyle. Cultivate Ideals. It is a cheering thing to meet young minds inspired by ideals. It is a delightful pastime to give a quarter of an hour a day to a great poet. Have a little blank book and copy a quotation or two when you meet them. - Newest Thief-Catcher. A recently invented thief-catcher for stores consists of a system of levers, which will close doors from behind a counter on pressing a pedal and at the same time ring an alarm outside the building. Dearth of Great Actresses Although acting is essentially a feminine art, Englishwomen are making far less mark in it at the present time than in probably any other period of our theatrical history. We have no Mrs. Siddons.—London Tatler. THE STATESMAN, DEN\’ER, COLORADO. Mines of the South. The south mines 3,500,000 tons of iron ore, or one-fourteenth of the total for the United States, and 98,000,000,- 000 tons of coal, or one-fifth of the total coal mined, and locally utilizing these two natural products, her furnaces pro- duce 2,500,000 tons of pig iron, or one- tenth of the whole, and valued at $53,- 000,000. Strews Sand on Frozen Streets, Magdeburg, Germany, has bought from an inventor a sand-strewing wag- on built on the lines of a water wagon, to be used for strewing frozen streets with a coating of sand. The scheme is universally effective on asphalt stree‘s, where horses have a hard time to maintain a footing in cold weather. An Air-Loving World Wanted.

The men read the newspapers and the articles in the Magazines which their wives recom- ment to them.—Appleton’s. Women in Thirteenth Century. Father Pardow, a New York priest, Says that in the thirteenth century there were women teaching {in the Catholic universities. In the story of the mother of the Maccabees the Bible says she “joined a man’s heart to a woman's thought,” which shows that she, rather than man, was con- sidered a person of intellect and capable of thought. Charms Used by Gamblers, Gamblers have many charms to in- sure good luck when playing. Among these are a fine catskin hung from the neck, a human knee bone or toe bone, an owl's heart, a small red feather, a mole’s foot. a rabbit's foot, the tall of @ lizard, the skin of a blacksnaxe worn around the waist or a lizard with two tails. The latter is irresistible. Posthumous Names in China, Another imperial decree has been issued on the subject of posthumous names to their late majesties the em- press-dowager and the empercr. Posthumous names of emperors in Chi- nese history never exceed 22 charac- ters, and of empresses 16 characters. —Shanghai Mercury. Might Be Good Scheme.

Smith, president and missionary of the Women's Baptist Home and Foreign Missionary Society, who has been in the city for a week, left on Wednesday for her home in Denver. She accomplished a great end while here. She is indeed one of the women of our race who has those qualities which always succeed in the end. She is at home with both the classes of mankind. Her many lectures on the Bible will long live in the minds of all who were fortunate enough to hear her. On Sunday night she spoke to a full house at the A. M. E. church, at which time seemed lost in the spirit of power from God, in whom she has the most implicit confidence. Indeed, she has done a wonderful work at the Baptist church, which work we hope may live to the end of generations. She was the guest of Mrs. M. Hopkins while in the city, who, like Mary of old, knows how to choose good things. On Monday night Mrs. Victory Fleming spread a sumptuous dinner in honor of Mrs. Lillie L. Smith. Those present were: Rev. J. H. Brown, Mrs. M. Hopkins, Mrs. L. B. Choteau, Mrs. M. Amie Dean, Mrs. Willa Kennedy, Mrs. Addie L. Morris, Mrs. Annie L. Hill. Mrs. Minnie Geesman, who was assaulted by John Watson on the 7th inst., is fast improving. She will go to the hospital next week to undergo an operation. Miss Edith Millen writes that after she finishes out this term of teaching she expects to either go to Washington, D. C., or to Chicago, and take a full course in college. This is glad news to her mama, who, above all, stands ready in every way to help her beautiful daughter to gain the highest marks attainable. Sunday school was organized at Handy Chapel, A. M. E., on Sunday. Mr. A. C. Carr, superintendent; Mrs. M. Dean, teacher. The Taft Literary Club was organized Tuesday night. The full corps of officers were elected. The second quarterly conference will be held at Handy Chapel on Jan. 29th and 31st, and will be a day for the Lord and the name of this church will be written in high places with the ensign "Who-soever Will." --- TROUTMAN & SONS Carpenters and Builders General Jobbing romptly Attended To Business Address 3131 HUMBOLDT STREET Surgeon Chiropodist Scientific Body Massage MADAM WALKER Manicuring and Facial Massage Scalp Treatment.

GANNAWAY Phone Main 776 Surplus Fat Would Mean Destruction by Their Enemies. Among wild animals, where the struggle for existence is most severe, surplus fat is very rarely found. The wild boar is lean, fleet of foot and powerful in strength. The razor-back hog of the southern states, lean and gaunt, is nothing more than the domesticated hog which has been permitted to run wild. The same hog when penned so as to restrict his exertions and fed on fattening foods, stores the unspent energy in his body as fat, and becomes the almost legless ball of fat we see pictured in feed catalogues and live stock journals. Such a hog has no duties to perform in its struggle for existence. Its food is furnished it without effort on its own part. It has no enemies to oppose and overcome. Such a hog would be impossible in a wild state, for as soon as the helplessness from fat began to manifest itself the animal would fall a victim to some of its enemies. The flesh of a man is very similar to that of the hog, and this is why the eating of swine was prohibited by the ancients and is yet forbidden by the Jews. Many people whose struggle for life is lessened by ease and plenty, whose food supply comes without effort, who have little work to perform, and who do not enter into the battle of life, attain a condition very similar to that of the fattened hog. STRANGER HAD HEARD OF HIM But Not in the Way the Author Had Hoped For. An American author of some note was passing a summer in New Hampshire. One day he received word that a distinguished Englishman was visiting in the country town and would like to call upon the author, of whom, he added in his note requesting an audience, he had heard. Somewhat flattered, the author wondered to himself who had spoken to the distinguished Englishman about him. "Some Oxford dignitary, doubtless," he reflected, pleasantly, "or possibly some London publisher or critic," and he awaited the stranger's arrival with interest. "So you had heard of me," he ventured after the usual greetings had been spoken. "Well, that is odd. Might I ask who—" but his visitor interrupted him. "Oh, yes," he said. "I heard all about you before I got here. The porter on the train told me that you were the best man to come to to ask about the best route to Niagara and what hotel I'd better stay at."—Youth's Companion. His Strained Relations. There is a young fellow in Trenton, an enthusiastic devotee of amateur photography, who is always insisting upon "taking" his family and friends posed in more or less artistic attitudes. Not long ago there was an exhibition of the work of a local photographic club to which the young fellow belongs, at which were displayed the results of certain of his efforts to immortalize his family and friends. In one corner hung a group of figures twisted into the most extraordinary position, the general effect being that of persons in various stages of paralysis. "Who in the world are those queer-looking people?" asked some one. "Oh, those are some of Paul Ward's strained relations," said a bystander. —Philadelphia Ledger. Finally Saw Show. Eighteen years ago Deitrich Weiss of Baltimore bought two tickets for the "Two Johns" dramatic exhibition. Prevented from going, he kept the tickets and last week the box office honored them for a show of the same name. Must Report Contagious Diseases. Chicago has started a vigorous crusade to compel physicians to report contagious diseases, and as a salutary lesson two physicians have been mulcted $10 each for failing to record cases of diphtheria. e for Hire NNAWAY ain 776 Licensed Embalmer No. 234.

March, the latter part of the fol- lowing April his official duties called him to Raton, N. M. He found the people there few in number but ex- ceedingly anxious to have a church building of their own, as they had been for two or three years worship- ing from house to house. Rey. Turner encouraged them to hope for such a desired comfort and at once opened a subscription among the few members, heading the list himself, thus starting the work. July 3rd an appeal was made to the generous community. Solicitors were active, response encouraging, plans and specifications drawn for a brick bullding, with stone trimmings and tower nine feet square, box frames with weight, etc. The cornerstone was jaid on the 6th of August, 1908, at 3 p. m., by Rev. Father John Turner, sermon by Rev. Wm. Reace of the M. KE. church. The house was built and ready for dedication Dec. 27th, 1908. At 10:30 a. m. Rev. B. F. Bates, pas- tor of the A. M. EB. church, at Trini- dad, Colo., preached the sermon. He also preached a soul-warming sermon ‘at 2:30. The collection for the day was over $100. A great many of the members from Trinidad came over with the pastor and contributed very much to the suc- cess of the day. The weather was clear and beautiful. Sister J. P. Watson, one of the an- nual conference evangelists from La Junta, Colo., was with us and preach- ed at night. She remained over with us and preached Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday nights and had very spir- itual meetings. Two backsliders were reclaimed and one professed hope in Christ. All praise is due Rey.

Those Revolving Doors: “This is the time of the year,” sald the nervous man, “when my days are full of woes over those infernal re- volving doors. Of course, they are al! right, I have no doubt, but, oh, how much more agreeable it would be to nervous folk if most persons who went through them didn’t think it neces- sary to go at the rate of 40 miles an hour, more or less. It’s hard not only on the nervous folk HMke myself, but the old as well, and for any one who is a bit of a cripple the passage of one of those doors {s worse to contemplate than that of the Rubicon was to Caesar, probably.” Contagious Diseases. A contagious disease is one In which the disease-producing organism goes direct from the person having the dis- ease to a person who has not the dis- ease without passing through an inter- mediary medium, as in tuberculosis for example. Malaria, on the other hand, is an infectious disease, be- cause the organism which produces it is taken from a person by a mosquito, reproduces itself in the mosquito and is transmitted by the mosquito which may never have been in contact with the person by whom the original or- ganism was given off. Produces Pure Iron. Chemically pure tron has never been obtained until very recently; it has been found almost impossible to re move the last traces of impurities, es- pecially of sulphur. But a German chemist, Dr. H. Kreusler, has finally by a long series of ingenious pro- cesses, partly chemical and partly electrical, succeeded in isolating the pure metal, the properties of which he reports to differ greatly from those of the impure iron that we know. Iron prepared by Kreusler’s process resembles platinum. The Ruling Passion. The man who twisted proverbs and sold them to cheap magazines was finally arrested for his misdemeanors. They overpowered him and put a nice new, shiny set of manacles on him. Did he assert his innocence? No. He glanced at his handcuffs, and said with a fiendish grin: “Fine fetters make fine jailbirds.” A Continual Christmas. Let no pleasure tempt thee, no profit allure thee, no ambition corrupt thee, no example sway thee, no per- suasion move thee to do anything thou knowest to be evil; so shait thou al- ways live jollily, for a good conacience is a continual Christmas.—Benjamin Franklin.

Then one night one of them passed the other two, went way back, and sat down at a table by himself. "Now, what do you suppose is the matter?" asked a woman at a table in another corner, who hated to see him sitting so sadly by himself, and trying so hard not to look at the others, or seem to notice them. "Just a little quarrel," explained her companion, who was a frequenter of the place. "Once in a blue moon that happens, and he goes off and dines a few evenings alone. Then when they make it up they are happier than ever, so don't you care." PIANOS $100.00 ONLY COMPLETE OF ACCURATE POCKET REFERENCE OF DENVER THE BROWNELL INDEX WM.

You cannot teach a man to be a journalist, for he is born, not made; and the real journalists spring at once—like the late G. W. Steevens—into their place. A lecturer on journalism would bore one far beyond the limits of this paragraph. For the journalist is the man who is interested in life and wants to share the interest with other livers. And a lecturer in a crowded classroom would not help.—London Chronicle. When the Cloughey (County Down, Ireland) lifeboat went to the assistance of the French bark Croisette, which had been driven ashore on a submerged reef, the men refused to leave the vessel without a little halfbreed fox terrier. The animal was eventually found and rescued amid the cheers of the bark's crew, who were then brought ashore in the lifeboat and hospitably housed by the villagers.

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 shall be convinced that your disease and pains will be turned into health and joy. All this is simply the operation of natural law, and it is not half as wonderful as the fact that you can send your voice along a little wire for thousands of miles, yet no one doubts the telephone, or is astonished at what it accomplishes. Is it strange, then, that a new discovery should be made in the line of physical science as applied to the healing art. PROF. H. G. H. BUTLER, 1123 Welton Street. Phone Main 8752.

The Price of Pearls. Consal General William H. Michael of Calcutta reports that a scheme has been set on foot to regulate the Indian pearl market and to prevent a repetition of the disastrous experience of last year, on account of the money crisis in the United States. An agency is to be formed in India with several branches, and a head office at Bombay, to collect pearls and to dispatch them to the London market at a fixed price, but subject to offers. Against these parcels a small advance will be given in Bombay, while the price is being cabled for to London. The promoters of the scheme say that there is a great future in store for the Indian pearl industry if it can be properly handled. The syndicate intends to extend its operations to the Australian fisheries. Why He Got His K. C. M. G.

Church Work In Southern District Dear members and friends, I quote herein a timely advise from the District letter of my colleague, Rev. J. C. C. Owens, P. E.: "Let us bury all malice, every strife and put away the petty jealousies and help build a good racehood and the church will be sure. The church is nothing but the character of its members." Let the negro read negro literature, support the negro press, give it financial strength and business influence and it will give us the news or report to oblivion the reason why. The West is the negro's last resort for refuge and unless we build timely and wisely now, our future is one of gloom and sorrow. The District is morally and spiritually fortified at points where we have pastors. We received into the church on our first round 30 members and baptized three. May the Lord continue his presence in our quarterly meetings. Now beloved members and friends of the District, before the ending of our second quarter, Allen's Day (Feb. 14th) will have come and gone and made history for the generations to follow and we hope you will be governed by the act of the last Annual Conference and make the celebration of the birthday of the founder and first bishop of our church a memorable events in the history of your church. A collection on this day is to be taken for the Connectional Preacher's Home, to be established at Colorado Springs. Send all money for said home to Rev. J. W. Braxton, 203 South Wahsatch street, Colorado Springs, Colo. To the pastors, members and friends of the Pueblo District, of the Colorado Annual Conference of the A. M. E. church: In our prayers we cease not to make mention of you to Him who is willing and able to prosper you in that whereunto you have been sent, both spiritually and temporally and give you the victory. On the 4th inst. we closed the first quarterly round of the Pueblo District and the cordial reception and mutual labors at each point demonstrate perfect harmony over the District. Much credit is due the Rev. James Washington for the spiritual enthusiasm kindled in our mission work throughout Arizona last year in connection with his pastorate at Phoenix, and if our pastors at the larger churches will evidence the like interest in our Mission points, near them, the Mission work will prosper. Dear brethren, we ask your help on this line, and the people are praying your assistance. The people are awakening to the fact of the scarcity of a qualified ministry in the West, hence those who have one are showing their appreciation by their liberal support and enthusiastic cooperation wit the pastors. The policy of the District is the whole Bible and the whole discipline. We pass no official character that confesses to the evil practices of either strong drink, card playing, dancing, or has a step wife. The administration is also seeking the cooperation of the negro press. Business and professional men in race progress as well as church building and the signs on the District are encouraging. The sacred cause of Christian Missions on Easter day and the second Sunday in June also appeal to your Christian interest and liberality. Knowing your loyalty from past rec- THE STATESMAN. DENVER.

BURIED 700 YEARS TOMB OF LONG-DEAD PRELATE UNCOVERED. Evidently Place of Sepulcher of a Bishop of the Roman Catholic Church, But His History Has Been Lost. Workmen at the minster at Basle, Switzeeland, while installing a new heating plant a short time ago, discovered in an interior crypt a tomb, which has been made the subject of a curious investigation. It was evident that the body enclosed in the stone walls was that of a high functionary. It was clad in the vestments of a bishop of the Roman Catholic church. The skeleton hand still clasped the wooden crook symbolical of the shepherd. Who was the prelate buried in this box of stone? Inquiry showed that the body was that either of Bishop Lutold I., of Arburg, who died in 1213, or of Bishop Heinrich II., of Thun, who died in 1238. It is known, at least, that the opened tomb contained the remains of a man who died nearly 700 years ago. The proceedings following this discovery were somewhat remarkable. A photograph of the open tomb with the body in it was taken with great difficulty, for it was almost impossible in that narrow underground hole to make a clear picture. For the purpose of thorough examination the body was taken from its bed of centuries to a room in the museum of the city. This was difficult to do, for the slightest touch was likely to crumble anything in the tomb to dust. The examination required two days, and then the remains were buried again, it is hoped, never more to be disturbed. The body had been embalmed, but the process only delayed and did not arrest the process of decay. The tomb consisted simply of slabs of stone cemented together, and the remains in their splendid vestments were laid upon a bed of flat stones placed in position without cement. The head had been pillowed on a stone scooped out a little. But the head had not survived that interval of seven centuries. Nothing of it was found excepting some handfuls of dust, a small bit of the lower jaw and a few teeth. Some of the fingers were covered with skin that had turned to parchment, but they crumbled at a touch. A few of the cloths plainly retained their texture and ornamental designs, but the greatest care in handling them was required or they would drop to pieces. All were discolored so that they looked like brown tobacco leaf. Chemical tests were made of some of the cloth, but nothing of importance was discovered. The highly ornate shepherd's staff had been made of pieces of ash, linden and oak wood, mortised together, but now rotten to the center, though still perfect in shape. The most striking results of the investigation was the photographs, 23 in number, of the cloth and embroidery patterns, the tattered leather sandals and the tomb. Some of the embroidery patterns are of remarkable beauty and intricacy. There was great difficulty in fixing the sandals so that they might be pho THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO.

We know of the remarkable scrutiny that has been given to the mummified remains of the ancient kings and queens of Egypt; this is probably the first time that the dust of a Christian prelate has been subjected to similar investigations. The ancient processes of preserving the bodies of the dead far excelled those of the Christian era as is strikingly shown in the present case, for the attempt to preserve the body from total decay utterly failed. State Secrets Given Away. Judge Mortimer Lewis gives the rhyming race away in the following: "These Christmas songs you read were writ 'way back in hot July, St. Valentine's day songs were writ beneath November's sky, and that is why the poet should write of Thanksgiving cheer while he is good and hungry for that good time to be here; one deals out country idyls while one's immured in town and signs of city pleasures where the leaves are drifting down; 'tis in this absent treatment way he sings of everything, and so I do not think he ought to have to rise and sing of good Thanksgiving day when he is filled up to the brim with pumpkin pie and gravy brown and turk that died for him. Did I speak of the pumpkin pie? I don't know if I did, but I'm stuffed so plum full of that it's pushing up the lid.—Atlanta Constitution. MRS. A. M. POPE-TURNBO. MRS. L. L. ROBERTS.

One day during Arnold Daly's brief career as an actor-manager an actor who was not a manager asked him if he "passed the profession." "Yes," said Daly, "on the street." 4 years ago my hair was only a 4 years ago my hair just covered finger-length, and my temples my shoulders. were held half way up my head. There are 413 species of trees found within the limits of the United States the wood of 16 of which when seasoned is so heavy as to sink in water. When we first began our wonderful work of growing all kinds, all qualities, all lengths, and all conditions of hair, even to the growing of hair on bald places of the head, many persons scorned the idea that such a thing was possible; but we have grown the hair for hundreds, rapidly achieving success. The proof of the value of our work is that we are being imitated and largely by persons whose own hair we have actually grown and the further fact that they have very frequently mentioned us when trying to sell their goods (saying that "theirs is the same" or "just as good") or referred to "PORO." We advise you to use only "PORO" Hair Grower, (the oldest and best of its kind). See that the name "PORO" is on every box, not genuine without it. Prepared only by MRS. A M. POPE.

Great floods have flown from little sources.—Shakespeare. The lord chief justice, on circuit at Birmingham, had a curious experience while playing golf over the Edgbaston course with Walter Whiting, the local professional. At the second hole his lordship drove into a bunker, the ball lying badly under the bank. Taking his niblick, he hit hard. The ball jumped into the air and dropped into his right-hand jacket pocket.—London Standard. An Architect's Patrons. John Merven Carrere, at a meeting of architects in New York, said: "Amazing, the age of an architect's patrons! The average man, in fact, is 35 before he begins to save seriously; his pile isn't made till he is 50; he begins to build himself a house in his old age, and his funeral takes place about the time the painters are called in." The Smart Boy's Opportunity. In these days farming is becoming more and more a science. It is the smart boy who stays on the farm instead of going to the city. And it is well known that when proper methods are employed the present yield will be doubled. There is not much prospect that in the next century the doctrine of Malthus will be exemplified by seeing this nation lacking for food. "Be Good." Beware of making your moral staple consist of the negative virtues. It is good to abstain from all that is hurtful and sinful. But to make a business of it leads to emaciation of character, unless one feeds largely also on the more nutritious diet of active sympathetic benevolence. — Oliver Wendell Holmes. Thirting for information. Little Gertrude, entering a butcher's shop for the first time, stood gazing around her in silent absorption. Presently she took her mother by the hand, and, leading her to where hung a string of bologna sausages, she put a tiny finger on one big sausage and gravely inquired: "Mamma, what was this when it was alive?"—Exchange. Wagner Fooled the Critics. Here is a story of Wagner's visit to London in 1855: After the first Philharmonic concert the critics reproached him for conducting a Beethoven symphony without the score. At the second concert, to satisfy his audience, Wagner had a "partition" on his desk, which he frequently consulted. The critics declared the improvement was marked. The score, however, was Rossini's "Barbier de Seville." Valuable Conch Shells. The conch shell is highly prized in India. In many of the temples they are blown daily to scare away the malignant spirits while the god receives his daily meal. A conch with the spiral twistings to the right instead of to the left is supposed to be worth its weight in gold. Some years ago a conch of that description was offered for sale in Calcutta, with a reserve price of a lakh of rupees placed on it. It was eventually bought in for $20,000. Censorship.

In Rusisa there is a cheap reaping machine which has a reel, but no automatic rake. A man sits on the platform and rakes off the grain with a pitchfork.

It is said that when the Bible was translated into Japanese an equivalent to the word "baptize" was not to be found, and the word "soak" had to be used instead, so that the Japanese are acquainted with a person of the name of "John the Soaker," and with a doctrine of "soaking for the remission of sins." Dolis of Korean Children. Korean children make their own dolls from bamboo and a dried grass much like cornsilk, which serves for hair.

The vigor with which the excellencies of the present register of deeds of the District of Columbia, the Hon. Mr. Dancy of North Carolina, are being exploited in the letters sent out from Washington by "special correspondents" makes it evident that two terms in office does not suffice for this statesman and that he will have to be pried away from the pie counter with a crow bar, if at all. It is claimed for him that he has shown all the good qualities that could be asked of a publis servant, but the inconsiderate way in which his state continues to pile up Democratic majorities makes it seem that the North Carolina statesman is not an argument at home for the Republican cause. For the sake of argument we will concede all that his closest friends may claim in his favor, but do not hesitate to say that fair treatment and good politics alike demand something substantial for northern and western Negroes who help deliver the goods. MISS McLA MORE SURPRISES ALLIANCE—EXCELLENT PAPER FOR YOUNG GIRL. Sunday was an unusual day for the Alliance, in that a young lady scarcely out of her 'teens was the center of attraction for fully 30 minutes. Her ideas on home training, school and church training, for better training, were very fundamental and opportune to say the least. In one of her climaxes she said: "The home should preserve the child for the state and the state should preserve the child for the home." She showed the rise and necessity of child labor laws, for the state laws protecting children from vice and all kinds of danger, all having aim for the state to protect itself. "The child of today was the government of tomorrow. If we would have a good government let us raise good children. More bad children come today because their fathers are too busy making money to care for them. Naturally coldness, indifference and mistreatment is often started and fostered by this neglect," said the writer. It would have done older people much good to have heard that young lady pick out flaws and suggest remedies to our social, financial and religious system. "Sins of Society," an article, was the product of much intelligent discussion. The Alliance passed a resolution of condolence to be sent Chas. J. Harris, sympathizing with him in his hour of trouble. Resolutions of gratitude were sent to Editors Franklin and Rivers for the presentation of some application cards for new members and for the free use of the papers, respectively. The Alliance will give a blue ribbon to the best practicable plan of business or scheme by which the negroes can operate a business. Begin- PAGE.8. THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO.

The plan receiving the majority of the Alliance vote will get the blue ribbon. Anybody can present a plan, but nobody but members will be allowed to discuss it. Outsiders take notice. The following program was announced: Jan. 24th—Vocal solo, Miss Maria Gaskins; piano selection, Miss Elsie Von Dickershon; vocal solo, Miss Thelia Tucker; paper, J. H. Childress; address, C. S.

The program will begin promptly at 4 p. m., in order to carry it out in its entirety. 1712 Curtis is the place and 4 p. m. the hour. ZION LOSES PASTOR. Rev. T. L. Griffith of Des Moines, Ia., will occupy the pulpit of Zion Baptist church next Sunday morning and evening. Rev. Griffith had accepted the call to the pastorate of Zion, but his home church twice refused to release him, and he will remain in Des Moines. It is hoped that a large congregation will be present at the services nevt Sunday. Rev. Griffith will also address the Sunday Alliance at 1712 Curtis street at 4 p. m. Unmannerly Haste.

Mrs. Agnes Adams, who resided next door to Jerry Steele, died at 4 a.m. Wednesday morning. She was a True Reformer and had lots of friends. Mrs. Rosa Wooden is convalescing after a brief illness. Mr. and Mrs. Briley have left Colorado Springs and intend to make Utah their future home. Mrs. Rumford of Colorado Springs has gone to the hospital to have a growth rtmoved from her eye. After a struggle to overcome a fatal illness and to recover from an operation, Mrs. Jessie Harris, wife of J. C. Harris, and daughter of A. R. Wilson, succumbed last Friday evening at Mercy hospital. She has been a sufferer for years and desperate measures were taken to relieve her but in vain. Her funeral occurred from Shorter church Tuesday afternoon and was attended by a wide concourse of sorrowing friends, for her life has been spent here in this community and she was well beloved by many. She was an estimable young woman, typical of the best of the race, and her loss will be greatly felt. Coming so soon after the death of her mother, the bereaved father may truly feel that affliction has overwhelmed him. Many flowers were given by sympathizing friends, among them being a floral piece by the Harris orchestra and the Traffic Club employes. Interment was at Fairmount. RIGHT SIDE UP AND SMILING.

It does a large business throughout Missouri and Southern states. While there Mr. Harris paid the editor the cash dividend upon his policy which had expired after maturing in five years. It was a welcome check, and was the tangible evidence that the Harris companies tole fair and mean what they promise.

That choir always sings fine and taken with the sermon the hearer got a very decided treat. Rev.
