New York, June 20—Henry C. White, the last colored member to sit in congress, a member from North Carolina in the Fifty-fifth and Fifty-sixth congresses, is reported to be at the head of a syndicate which has purchased from Senator Robert E. Hand 957 acres of land near Burleigh, N. J., near Cape May. It is intended to establish a colony of Negroes from North Carolina. The name of the town is to be Whiteborough. Already several avenues have been laid out. Each colonist is to buy a house on the installment plan. It is to be an agricultural colony on the same plan as the Jewish colony at Woodbine, founded by the Baron de Hirsch fund trustees. Antwerp, June 20.—Major Taylor, the colored sprinter, once very popular in Europe, was jeered at the running races when he came in second best after a couple of Dutchmen. Taylor lost matches all over the continent this season. General's Daughter Accused of Violating "Jim Crow" Car Law.

Miss Lee was conducted from the depot to thestation house, followed by a crowd of excited citizens. There she told Chief Webster that she had boarded the car and taken a rear seat with a quantity of baggage, knowing nothing of the law until the train reached Virginia, when the conductor requested her to move. She saw no reason for it and declined, so her arrest followed. Mayor Simpson was conferred with and he directed that Miss Lee be released, to appear in the police court tomorrow should the railway company decide to prosecute her. The affair has caused great excitement. MOTHER AND CHILD HANGED. Brutal Double Murder in the Indian Territory. Muskogee, I. T., June 19.—Late last evening the United States marshal's office in this city was notified of the murder of a Mrs. Dyer, a white woman, and her little daughter, aged 12 in the Creek full-blood neighborhood, known as Okfuske, situated some 40 miles west of this city, in a remote district on the south bank of the Little Deep fork of the Canadian river. The details of the tragedy are meager. The unconfirmed report is to the effect that Mrs. Dyer became involved in an altercation with a paramour, who, being enraged and jealous, too, conceived and put into execution the idea of placing a rope about the woman's neck and swinging her to the ceiling in her own home, where she died from strangulation. The innocent little child, who was a horrified and unwilling spectator to the affair, was doomed to the same fate, for the reason she would almost certainly figure as a witness later if permitted to escape. The murderer of her mother seized the little daughter and placing a rope about her neck, swung her up to die beside her mother. BUTTE, MONTANA, FRIDAY. JUNE 20, 1902. HELENA ITEMS. Helena, Montana, June 20.—Among the distinguished citizens from Butte who visited the capital city were: Lieutenant Colonel Collins, Mr. C. F. Smith, Mr. Chris Dorsey and Mr. James Mack from Anaconda. One of the most important events of the week was the marriage of Mr. Mack Reid to Miss Mollie Cheetam, of Washington, D. C. Mrs. James Simpson and sons expect to visit the Smoky City in the near future. (The following items were received too late for publication in last week's issue.) (Special to the New Age.) Helena. Montana.—Miss Gladys V. Alexander entertained a few friends at Alexander entertained a few friends at a trolley ride last Sunday. After a very pleasant ride the friends repaired to the home of Miss Alexander, where delicious refreshments were served. Those invited were the Misses Blanche Woodcock, Jessie Woodcock, Alice Woodcock, Gladys Alexander, Messrs. J. E. Moseley and J. Wesley Fields. Monday evening was the scene of a delightful social at St. James A. M. E. church. The entertainment consisted of songs and recitations, illustrated by stereopticon views. After the program supper was served in the reading room of the church. Mr. John La Coste, of St. Paul, and one of Helena's old timers, was in the city last week renewing old acquaintances. A number of Helena people are looking forward to a big trip through Yellowstone park. Ping pong and lawn tennis are the favorite games of amusement in the city among the young people. The D. P.'s are expecting to illimb Mount Helena by moonlight in the near future. SALT LAKE NOTES. (Special to the New Age.) Salt Lake City, June 19.—Mr. Jessie Jackson left the city last Wednesday. He stopped one day in Pocatello. From there he goes to Boise, Idaho, where he will spend a few days. Then he will go to Washington and Thunder Mountain. The Salt Lake Street Improvement company has added several colored men to their list of laborers, which is a sure sign of good streets in the near future. Mr. J. Burger resigned his position with the Pullman company on the 20th inst. He leaves in a few days for Boise, Idaho, where he intends to go into the restaurant business. We wish him much success. Mr. William Fosha spent a few days this week in Idaho and Montana on business. ANACONDA NOTES. Mr. C. P. Smith, proprietor of the Garrone restaurant, went over to Butte Tuesday. SHOT IN A DUEL. St. Louis, Mo., June 20.—A duel, resulting from political troubles, was fought last night at Third and Spruce streets, and resulted in the death of one of the combatants. The participants were William Smith and Ben Henderson, both colored. Henderson lives at 1901 North Tenth street and Smith resides at 313 Spruce street. For some time there has been ill feeling between the men, owing to differences in political views. Last night they met on Spruce street, near Third. There were no preliminaries. Both men drew revolvers and opened fire. Eight shots were exchanged, and as the smoke cleared away Smith was found lying on the sidewalk with blood spurting from a wound in his right breast. Henderson started to run, but the shots had attracted the police, and after a short chase they arrested Henderson. Alex Henderson, a brother of the duelist, and Sam McClelland, all colored, were also arrested and sent to the Four Courts holdover. Smith was sent to the city hospital, where examination showed he had been shot through the lungs. Efforts to save his life were futile, and he died a half hour later. DOWN TOWN REVIVALS. (Special to the New Age.) St. Louis, Mo., June 20.—Rev. W. B. Stewart, pastor of Wyman's Central Mission, will hold religious services this week at old Union church, Eleventh and Lucas street, at 11:30 a.m. and 7:30 p. m., preparatory to the opening of a series of revivals which will begin Monday evening by Mrs. Lena Mason, the woman evangelist. Rev. Stewart is the city missionary of the A. M. E. church and is making an effort to redeem the down town districts. THEY CUT AND THEY SLASHED EACH OTHER. Early Morning Affray at the Capital Lodging House in Smelter City. Anaconda, June 17.—A cutting affray occurred in the Capital lodging house, on Front street, at an early hour yesterday morning, in which Joseph Shafer and Bertie Shafer, supposed to be his wife, severely injured each other. Both parties are colored. The woman's face is quite badly bruised and cut, the result of being struck with a beer bottle in the hands of her husband, so she says. By way of returning the compliment she carved him deep in the right leg with a razor. Both parties were taken into custody by Night Chief O'Brien and were arraigned in police court yesterday on a charge of assault in the second degree. The woman entered a plea of not guilty, while the man took the statutory time of twenty-four hours in which to plead. Both were confined in the county jail in default of $500 bonds. Shafer is the man who was twice convicted of murder in Butte for the killing of John Hawkins in an East Galena street saloon. Each time he managed to secure a new trial on some technicality until there were no witnesses left to testify against him and he was set at liberty. He has since resided in Anaconda. THEY EXPECT TROUBLE. Bishop Walters Says the Time Is Near When the Black Man Must Fight for His Rights. Chicago, June 19.—"The time will come when the black man must depend upon himself for protection. I do not stand for mobs, but every Negro should be prepared to protect himself, his home, his wife and children, even to the death." This advice was given at a meeting of Negroes last night by Bishop Alexander Walters, of the colored church of Ohio, after he had warned his hearers that all signs pointed to a time of great trouble for them. Bishop Walters is president of the Afro-American council. The meeting was held in the Olivet Baptist church and was called for the purpose of taking action on the persecution of the Negro residents of Eldorado and Harrisburg, ill., and the lynching of Louis Wright in Missouri last winter. A resolution was adopted and telephoned to Governor Yates calling on him to take immediate steps to protect the lives and property of the colored people of Eldorado and Harrisburg, Ill. Governor Yates, who is in Chicago, said last night: "The authorities have been ordered to proceed against any persons who may have been guilty of assaults against the colored people of that locality, and law will be maintained." WIFE SLASHED HIS NECK. St. Louis, Mo., June 19—Lester Johnson, colored, of 2640 Lawton avenue, was taken to the city hospital yesterday afternoon suffering from a three-inch wound on his neck. He claimed that while he was asleep his wife assaulted him with a razor and then jumped out of a second-story window to escape. He did not want the woman prosecuted, as he believes she is demented. He preferred rather to have her held for observation. Mrs. Johnson was found at 1310 Chestnut street and hour later and taken to the hospital, where her mental condition will be investigated. Johnson will recover. Skirt Sale Of our exclusive and comprehensive stock.

FRIDAY, JUNE 20, 1902 Senator Clark's great speech upon the inter-oceanic canal question stands out in vivid contrast to some of the effusive productions made upon that subject. The senator first mastered the subject thoroughly in every detail and his advocacy of the Nicaragua route as the most feasible was commendable. At last there has developed in the southland a governor who is both sufficiently courageous and equitable to take the only proper stand commensurate with the oath of his elective office and one of the fundamental laws of the land. Governor Ayres of North Carolina has issued a reward of $30,000 for the apprehension and conviction of the men who recently lynched a colored citizen in that state. While the offering of the reward will in our opinion do nothing which will result in bringing the guilty parties to justice, yet the moral influence upon public sentiment in the south will be of much benefit. The race enterprise and social organization spirit of the citizens of Helena is both to be commended and is worthy of emulation. In proportion to the business development of our race, their restaurants, stores, and in accord with the amount of taxable property which they can show—just in that degree will they be respected and the microbe of colorphobia be eradicated from our national life. Aside from the high plane of the social and business status of the colored people of Helena, the fact that at the graduating exercises of the high school the race was represented by two who ranked among the highest in scholarship and ability, accords to them a recognition both in their own city and elsewhere, which is immeasurable. It seems so easy for some people to gain fame and do wonderful things, and, too, so strange that some will try a life time and wind up at the call of Uncle Peter and yet haven't gained in a whole life time what others did in a few days. There are opportunities all around us, yet some of us will pass them by day after day, and if some energetic person should ask in regard to their opinion of a new enterprise, they are told you are wrong to waste your time in this or that and will go on to relate that I have been here so many years and I know just what can be done to a success. At the same time they have never done anything to prove themselves capable of being a judge of anything, and if you persist, go ahead and find yourself about to succeed, then you are assailed for trying to do something for the advancement of your people. The New Age is advocating the cause of her people through the combined effort of an organized force. They will stand or support only the best policy to the interest of the entire organization. Again we deem it quite essential that there should be a regular convention held either in Helena or Butte and thereby unite our efforts to the best methods to advance the policy of the colored people of the state. We would be pleased to have ideas of other colored citizens regarding this movement. Why should we not be able to gain recognition to a certain degree, as well as other organizations? Why should we hesitate to labor in our own interest? Why should we stand in our own light? We are not being wronged by any party. We have never demanded or put ourselves in a position to gain anything. Therefore, you can not expect something without working for it. "The fact that for every guilty act committed by one of our troops a hundred acts of far greater atrocity have been committed by the hostile natives upon our troops, or upon the peaceable and law-abiding natives who are friendly to us, cannot be held to excuse any wrong-doer on our side. Determined and unswerving effort must be made, and is being made, to find out every instance of barbarity on the part of our troops, to punish those guilty of it, and to take, if possible even stronger measures to minimize or prevent the occurrence of all such instances in the future."—Colored American. The attacking of a colored normal and industrial school at Eldorado. II. by whites is a discreditable performance of a character which the middle West should leave to the South. The school at Eldorado is modeled after Booker Washington's colored institute at Tuskegee, Ala., and while not having reached the development of that celebrated institution of learning, it is well established on lines which promise a like useful career. The colored families in the vicinity of the Illinois school have been driven from their homes and the house of a colored pastor stoned and his family terrorized. This sort of thing ought not to be permitted outside of the "sphere of influence" of Senator Tillman, which surely does not extend into Illinois. It is up to Governor Yates to show that a race riot cannot be so lightly entered upon in Illinois as in South Carolina.—Inter Mountain. Miss Lola Ford is the only colored lady embalmer and undertaker's assistant west of the Mississippi river. Her work in this line has given great satisfaction and the praises and compliments that come to her on every hand demonstrate her ability. She's employed with the firm of A. T. Moore & Co., the only colored undertaken between Kansas City and San Francisco. She is well up in the art of embalming, casket trimming and disinfectant and sanitary precautions, and by her sweet disposition and Christian grace brings consolation into homes which death has made desolate. Miss Ford is a native of Chicago, and after taking instructions in embalming and serving in the undertaking parlors of J. A. Parks of that city, came West to go into business for herself. Denver has reason to be proud of the fact that they have the only colored lady undertaker in the West—Colored Magazine. FOUND DEAD IN HIS BED Frank Brown Becomes III While Preparing a Meal and Expires Without Medical Attendance. Thomas Brown, employed at the race track as a cook, was found dead in bed, in the mess room, at the track at 1:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon, and as he was unattended by a physician. Coroner Johnson will hold an inquest this afternoon at the rooms of the Montana Undertaking Company to determine the cause of death. Brown was about 40 years old and came to Butte about a month ago from San Francisco with Dennison's stable. It is not known whether he was married; in fact, little is known of theman. Brown appeared in god health yesterday day fornoon. He prepared breakfast and went about his work cleaning up until the noon meal. It was under may when, about 12 o'clock, he complained of being ill. He tried to work but became gradually worse, until he was forced to go to bed. It was thought he was not seriously ill and little attention was paid him until after little attention was paid him until after the meal, when fellow workmen went to thebedside of Brown to see how he felt. To the surprise of all it was discovered that the cook was dead. Life had evidently been extinct about an hour. It is supposed that Brown's death was due to heart diseast. There is no certainty about it, however, and for that reason Coroner Johnson has ordered an inquest. When the coroner arrived at the race trackin answer to the summons sent by the workmen, it was evident that Brown had died a natural death, but it was deemed advisable to hold an inquest and investigate it thoroughly, so one was ordered. After viewing the body the coroner gave permission for its removal to the moorths of the Montana Undertaking Company to be prepared for burial. The remains will probably be buried in Butte. Young Negro Creates a Commotion New Yory, June 20.—Archie Roosevelt, the eight-year-old son of the president, his pony and negro, have stirred Oyster Bay by getting mixed in the vagaries of the last mentioned number of the trio. The negro, whose name is Levy, began by going into the local bank, taking money belonging to a depositor, and running into the street. He was captured and the money taken from him. Levy then went to the postoffice, where Archie Roosevelt appeared on the pony. Levy stepped up to him and asked to hold the horse. When young Roosevelt enered the postoffice the negro jumped on the pony's back and made off. He was captured by citizens before he had gone far and was lodged in jail. Jones Admitted to Bail. New York. June 20.—Charles F. Jones, who was valet to Wm. F. Rice, the murdered Texas millionaire, and confessed, that in conjunction with Albert T. Patrick he caused the death of Rice, was today admittde to ball in the sum of $1,000. Jones will be taken to Texas by a brother. THE NEW AGE BETHEL BAPTIST CHURCH. (Special to the New Age.) The Bethel Baptist church is prospering very nicely. Last Sunday morning at 11 a. m. a good spiritual meeting was held. The Lord was there and we got the blessing. There were two joined the church after the preaching. We have nothing to fear, but all things to hope for. We visited the poor farm last Sunday. The party consisted of Rev. C. C. X. Laws and wife, Brother J. C. Wilson and Mrs. S. A. Smith, who presided at the organ. The subject was Psalms, 12:1. The inmates enjoyed the service and invited us to come again. Everything was neat and clean, and we admired the matron, for she was not prejudiced. One of our people is out there, Mr. Washington, and he seems to have the same treatment the rest were getting. Every one of our people ought to take the New Age. It is something this city should have had twenty years ago. We would have a far better community than what we have now. Let every Negro take the New Age. There is some talk of the Afro-American League. Yes, call a convention as soon as possible and get united. We want to make the paper the organ of the West. RESOLUTIONS FOR PROF. CLARK Marshall, Mo., June 20.—The colored people are very indignant at the action of the Board of regents of Lincoln institute in failing to re-elect Professor Clark as president. A mass meeting was held and resolutions requesting the board of regents to reconsider its action were adopted. They consider it an act of injustice, after calling Professor Clark from a prominent position in another college, to fail to give him an endorsement by a re-election. RACE WAR ON IN ILLINOIS Carbondale, Ill., June 20.—The race war which has been in progress at Eldorado, Ill., since May 24, when a crowd attacked the colored normal and industrial institute, a school modeled after the celebrated Tuskegee Ala., school, still continues. The homes of colored citizens have been stoned, warnings sent the occupants to leave the vicinity and shots fired into their homes late at night. Many, through fear, have left, sacrificing their homes and in some cases their crops. There remain only five families and two of them will leave at once. Last night a mob visited Rev. Peter Green, pastor of the African Methodist Episcopalian church, and stoned his house. Some of the white residents profess to fear that colored labor will be used in the mines which are being opened in that vicinity. Jefferson D. Alston, president of the normal, has been chosen as the head of the school for life, according to the incorporation papers on file at Springfield, and agains them an intense feeling exists. The board of trustees, of whom Dr. Mitchell, a white physician, of Harrisburg, is president, will consider both the removal of the school and the choosing of a new president at the coming meeting, June 27. Governor Yates has been appealed to for protection. SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON—June 15—Acts. 6.15. Paul crosses to Europe through regions rich in flowers and natural beauty. Paul and Silas traversed Syria and Cilicia, confirming the infant churches, which probably owed their existence to Paul's earliest efforts. So through the Cilcian gates they entered Tarsus, his native city, but there was no welcome for him. There, probably, the old home was either broken or shut against him, and the two companions in travel threaded the defiles in the mountains behind Tarsus, which led them up to the central plain with its volcanic deposits and biting winds and after some days of tolsome journey they come to Derhe, Lystra and Icomlum, so tragically associated with the former journey. All the advertisers and patrons of the New Age will receive the patronage of the colored people of the city, and state. It shall be the purpose of the New Age to favor those who have contributed to the support of our paper. Every colored family in the city should subscribe for the New Age, as it is the only organ that is trying to gain for them a higher estimate and broader (Special to New Age.) NOTICE. BOX OF LIVE SNAKES SENT TO BLACK PATTI. She Opened It, Thrust a Hand Inside Shrieked and Was in Hysterics Two Hours. The Reptiles Crawled Out—Finally They Were Killed, and on Examination It Was Found That They Were Not Venomous. Paris, June 20.—Patti had a terrible shock this week. Some fool sent her from Mentone a box containing three snakes, each about a yard long. She thought she was getting a nice present, and on opening the box and seeing but dry moss, confidently ran her hand to the bottom into a cold, slimy, wiggling mass. She uttered a cry and ran into another room and was hysterical for two hours. The snakes escaped and crawled about under the furniture until finally they were killed. On examination it was found they were not poisonous reptiles. Patti was shrewdly swindled recently out of a large part of her wardrobe, including all her furs which were worth a fortune. She sent her husband to a firm which makes a specialty of storing furs and other expensive winter raiment throughout the summer. Her husband spoke with a pretty girl employee who took the order. Later Mme. Patti received a telephone order telling her to prepare her garments for storing, as a man and a woman would be sent to take them. The man and the woman appeared with a carriage. Mme. Patti helped fold and pack for two hours. After the goods had gone another vehicle called, when it was discovered that the pretty girl, after transcribing the order, had decided that she would care for those furs herself and left the shop, pretending to be sick. The man who assisted probably was her lever, who has disappeared. Mme, Patti was making tea with the Dowager Duchess of Manchester when she was notified of her loss. The news fairly distracted her, and it is said she cried and called her husband harsh names, not minding the crowed tea room. The young baron is said to have borne the tempest with admirable patience. LOVERS EMBARRASSED. Thought License Was All That Constituted Marriage. St. Louis, June 20.—The impression that the issuance of a marriage license is all the ceremony necessary for the joining of two hearts and fortunes, placed Joseph W. Byrnes and Miss Agnes Marks, of 4212 Lexington avenue, in a somewhat embarrassing position at Clayton yesterday. Clerk Charles Redmon issued the license, which was handed to the groom to be with a polite statement of the legal charges. The $1 was paid, and then taking the hand of the young lady, Byrnes placed upon the finger a neat wedding ring. He was surprised and abashed when informed that the time for the ring had not yet arrived and that it could not be properly placed on the finger until a legal ceremony had been performed. The young couple were then importunt to be married at a picnic which was in progress at the Saengerbund hall, where $5 in gold had been offered to any couple who would submit to the public ceremony, but they refused and returned to St. Louis. EXODOUS LITERARY SOCIETY. The following programme was rendered at the last meeting of the Exodus Literary Society: Reading of poem, "We Are Rising," by Mrs. W. M. Birthright. Solo by Mrs. S. A. Smith. Solo by Mr. E. Jay Brown, in concert with members. Miss L. Scott was chairman of the program committee. After the program was rendered refreshments were served to all. The society will adjourn at the next meeting for the season. The officers and members are to be congratulated for the successful manner in which they have carried out the work of the society for the past eight months. We are in hopes that the society on re-organizing will select efficient officers for the management of the concern. A Story With a Point. Among Booker T. Washington's many stories of the contempt for the low class southern whites for the negroes is this one: "One day," says Mr. Washington, "a poor, ignorant white man came to the polls to vote.

New York, June 14.—It has been suggested here, says a Herald dispatch from Paris, that in order to commemorate the sympathy shown by President Roosevelt and the United States in the recent Martinique disaster, a street of Paris should be named Rue de President Roosevelt, a plate being affixed at each end of the street recording the facts. The Societie Francise des Amies des Arts is having an engraving made of Mrs. Roosevelt's picture, painted by M. Chartran, which will be incorporated in the album given to the society's subscribers annually. THE NEW AGE FINDS HUSBANDS FOR OLD MAIDS. Woman Who Devotes Herself to Task Calls it Philanthropy Pure and Simple. Finding eligible husbands for old maids and exercising general supervision over matchmaking with a farseeing, kindly eye is a novel form of philanthropy that would not appeal to many persons because of the wide range of disastrous possibilities it involves. Yet there is a woman in New York who is well-to-do and who finds herself with plenty of time on her hands, who devotes a good deal of energy and much money to this peculiar work. She calls it philanthropy, pure and simple, and emphatically denies the allegation of superficial acquaintances that she is a "crank." Furthermore, she resents the inference that she possesses an inordinate passion for matchmaking. "Many years ago," she says, in explaining her unique philanthropy, "I was deeply impressed by a psychological study of a convincing type which I came across while reading a novel. I found in this book an impressive description of the sense of abject loneliness that bore down a poor unmarried woman, and I was fascinated by the depressing situation, for at that time I was engaged to marry the man I loved and could not look ahead into the future and see much happiness in store for me. I easily imagined myself in that girl's position and the picture haunted me so persistently that I at once became intensely interested in the general subject of old malds. That is why I have devoted so much of my time to the rather hazardous work, if it may be called work, of finding congenial companions for lonely women who are approaching the meridian of life absolutely without matrimonial prospects." Beauties Fail to Get Husbands. This energetic woman has not contented herself merely with making matches, but has gone deeper into the subject of marriage and has studied it from the point of view of the psychologist. In the first place she has discovered, with many others, that there are a thousand and one reasons why some girls remain unmarried, and, what is even more surprising, she is convinced that plain looks are by no means the most frequent cause. This is shown by the great number of old maids who possess what might really be termed pretty, attractive faces and graceful, well rounded figures. 'One woman for whom I have been trying to find a husband was by far the prettiest of my acquaintances,' she says. 'She did not look to be more than 25, although she frequently admitted to me that she was past 40. Here was an unusually sad case. In spite of her good looks men never lost an opportunity to shun her, and after studying her I learned that this was due to a certain effect of melancholy pride and mystery which her face and manner produced. When I first met this woman she excited my curiosity, and after many futile attempts I finally discovered that she had once been in love. Couldn't Make Up Her Mind. "And the remarkable feature of the case was that her love was returned in full measure. But she belonged to that rather numerous type of women who are doubters of themselves and she coud not make up her mind whether she loved the young man enough to marry him. She constantly questioned the depth of her affections and the result of this persistent burrowing was that she found new evidence all the time that she was right. "Her lover was of an exactly opposite type. He was a mater of fact, level-headed fellow, too busy with the affairs of this world to pry into his own soul, so he really did not know what the object of his effections was talking about when she expressed her doubts. He wanted the wedding day set, but she shook her head pensively and confessed her fear that after the wedding she might regret it and discover that a mistake had been made. He reasoned with her, pleaded with her, and argued, but all to no effect. She still questioned herself and the result was that the engagement was broke noff and the young man married another girl. When it was too late she discovered that she was desperately in love with the man and when she saw him the husband of another woman she became almost insane with jealousy. Marriage to Escape Loneliness. Marriage to Escape Loneliness. "Years passed and she recovered somewhat from the direct shock of the marriage, but her face has always retained the sad, pensive expression it bore during the first three years of the man's married life. She confessed to me once that she made no pretense of being true to the memory of her first love. 'I never think of it,' she said, 'except as a pretty book I seem to have read. But I feel all alone in the world and the thought of remaining lonely as long as I live terrifies me. You don't know how awful it is. There seems to be a gulf between me and my most intimate friends. I long for some one who will make this gulf impossible.' "I was interested in this proud, supersensitive creature, and I drew from her a promise that she would marry any man whom I might find who could make her happy. I did my best (but my efforts were not crowned with success. The men I knew all shrank from her. They all admitted that she was beautiful, but characterized her beauty as the sort men like to admire but not to marry. Still I did not give up all hopes of finding the right man, until some time later she took sick and died. This was one of the most pathetic cases that ever came under my notice. Withering of the Face. "But in spite of the sad fate of the friend I have just mentioned there is a good deal of truth in the statement that a woman's face is her fortune. And it doesn't necessarily follow that it must be a pretty face, either. The face frequently possesses other attractive qualifications besides beauty. I found an example of this sort in one of the old maids I married off at the age of 36. I captured a well-to-do German who for many years had been taking all of his meals at a restaurant, and after I introduced him to the woman in question he remarked: "'This woman's face speaks to me of home-made coffee, cake and homemade everything: just what I am looking for.' "There is another type of woman whose good looks improve with age, and this is no small consideration when it comes to finding husbands for old maids. Frequently a girl who is generally considered homely ceases to be looked upon in this light when she becomes an old maid. There are faces which seem suited to no other status of life. As an illustration, I once knew a girl of 20 who had the features of an unmarried woman of 40. Naturally, she did not attract young men. At 25 she still looked 40, and did not seem to be getting old at all. Now, when the girl really reaches 40 she probably will be accounted a good-looking woman of middle age, and no doubt she will be much sought after by bachelors ten to twenty years her senior. "Frequently a girl does not marry because she has an older sister who from choice of necessity remains in single blessedness. Oftentimes, as I have observed, a young woman rejects suitors because she happens to be left as the sole companion of a widowed mother. I recall one case of this character which impressed me deeply. A pretty young girl sacrificed all of her matrimonial chances to the interests of her mother, and the characteristic part of it was that he daughter never ceased reminding the parent of the fact. The two quarreled continually and frequently they would let a whole month pass without speaking to each other. Yet at the bottom of her heart the young woman was really devoted to her mother and would not leave her. Several times the old woman insisted that her daughter should accept the proposal, but the latter always refused. Thus they quarreled back and forth until finally the old woman died, and I succeeded in marrying the girl to a prosperous Swede. And they along quite well together." TWELVE BUSINESS MAXIMS The President of the London Chamber of Commerce gives these twelve maxims which he has tested through years of business experience, and which he recommends as tending to insure success: 1. Have a definite aim. 2. Go straight for it. 3. Master all details. 4. Always know more than you are expected to know. 5. Remember that difficulties are only made to overcome. 6. Treat failures as stepping stones to further effort. 7. Never put your hand out further than you can draw it back. 8. At times be bold; always be prudent. 9. The minority often beats the majority in the end. 10. Make good use of other men's brains. 11. Listen well; answer cautiously; decide promptly. 12. Preserve, by all means in your power, "a sound mind in a sound body." AN APPEAL TO DUTY. We make this appeal to every colored person of the state. We called your attention in our last issue to the great necessity of an organized force. There is certainly no doubt of the great good that can be gained for the Negroes of this state through combination; therefore, until we think we have gained our aim we shall continue to advocate what we know to be the best policy for the advancement of our people. We should strike now, while opportunities are good. We should consider that we have a duty before us and we should not hesitate to work for our own interest. Therefore, give your immediate attention to one great cause. That characteristic of youth which makes persons shrink from ridicule as they would from a burning brand has been pointed out many a time. A man went into a leather store recently where trunks, dress suit cases and top hat boxes were for sale. The proprietor of the store said, when he asked for a suit case: "Would you like a brand new one, or one whose appearance is somewhat worn? Both are equally good. The difference is simply a matter of personal choice." "Why should any one wanting a new dress suit case be satisfied with one whose leather bears marks of wear?" said the would-be purchaser. "We keep two kinds," replied the dealer, "for the simple reason that they are demanded by our trade. When this particular form of grip first came into fashion only the brand new ones were sold. To offer or expect any one to purchase a soiled and battered case would seem as absurd as to imagine a person buying a pair of stubbed boots. "One day a stylishly dressed young man came in and said he wanted a dress suit case. We showed him various kinds, but he was not satisfied. At last he said: 'These are good cases, I know, but what I want is one that doesn't look so shiny new.' He explained that it was no light task to carry a brand new dress suit case through a crowded street, into a thronged railroad station, and then lift it, in all its glossiness, through a well filled car. 'Everybody rubbers at you and the case,' he said, 'and you feel like a farmer.' At last we succeeded in fixing up a new case so that it looked like an old one, and he departed happy. That put an idea into our heads, and ever since we have always kept a stock of apparently second hand grips on hand for the satisfaction of our customers who are sensitive about ridicule. And, do you know, they sell remarkably well. "But, bless you, the dress suit case isn't a marker to the top hat case. Where we sell one disfigured dress suit case we sell three for top hats. Now, the reason for this difference is the same that made the damaged case popular. We sell more grips than we do hat cases, leaving out of consideration entirely those purchased by women, who constitute our best sources of trade. There is something unusually personal about a top hat. No young man ever assumed it without a thrill of self-consciousness. It is no easy matter for him to emerge thus attired for the first time on the public thoroughfare. One feels that the whole wide world is focusing its eyes directly on the top of one's head. Is it not true? Well, then, you may understand how that same young fellow may feel when he transports for the first few times a new, glowing hat case, with brass lock shining like a polished mirror in the sun. So we are ready to supply him with one that looks as if it had been through long months of service both at home and abroad, yet is really as new as any on our shelves. I have heard of young men kicking the cases, or dragging them through the mud, hitting them against picket fences, leaving them out in the rain, to get off that 'new' look which is so distressing. "But here is an interesting little commentary on a much discussed controversy. Women do not care. The newer the suit case the better they like it. If, as some say, they possess vanity, it does not she witself along those lines." STATEHOOD BILL DEAD Senate Committee Decides Against Action This Session. Special to the New Age Washington, June 20. The senate committee on territories today decided to take up for consideration early in the next session of congress the omnibus statehood bill, admitting into the union the territories of Oklahoma New Mexico and Arizona. The decision was reached upon motion of Senator Nelson, and themotion was adopted by a strictly party vote, the republicans voting in the affirmative and the democrats in the negative. This vote was preceded by two votes on motions made by democratic members looking to the consideration of the bill during the present session. The first of these motions yas to take up the question on Wednesday. This motion was made by Senator Bate and was voted down, the republicans voting unanimously in the negative and the democrats in the affirmative. A motion by Senator Bailey to report the bill immediately met with a like fate on a party vote. The democrats opposed Senator Nelson's motion on the ground that its adoption would preclude the possibility of considering the bill during this session. 3 Crispi's Narrow Eser.pe. The Courrier des Etats Unis says that on Jan. 14, 1858, the late Francesco Crispi, the great Italian statesman, then a political refugee in Paris, received from an Italian friend connected with the Paris opera two gallery tickets for the performance of that evening, which the emperor and empress were expected to attend. Crispi and his wife were on the point of starting for the theater when the latter exclaimed, "Francesco, where shall we get a candle?" They were in such destitution that they had neither candles nor matches nor yet the wherewithal to buy them. Going to the opera would involve groping for their room at midnight and going to bed in total darkness. Too proud to confess their condition and to borrow a few sons, they regrettably denied themselves the promised treat, remained in their room and retired before the twilight had faded. On the following morning they learned of Orsini's attack on the emperor, the police raids and the arrest of all Italian revolutionists found in or near the theater. If Crispi had been in the house, he would certainly have been among the first arrested, for he was known as an ardent disciple of Mazzini. Division General Poor Speller Division General Poor Speller. "When I was in the civil war," said General Groevenon. "I had a division commander who was the finest looking man on a horse you ever saw. He was a good soldier, too, but he had some educational deficiencies. One day he thought to drill his division. After some maneuvering he got them lined up in column of fours to start. "The proper command is 'Column, forward!' The general didn't know this, and he waved his sword in the air and yelled 'Column!' Not a man moved. The general had a voice you could hear hall! a mile. He stood up in his stirrups and yelled again, 'Column!' Still there was no move. Then he turned his horse and dashed back to the soldiers. "What's the matter?" he shouted, so loud that everybody on the parade ground could hear him. 'Can't you understand when I give a command? Column!' Column! I'll spell it for you, you idiots-Co-1-l-o-m!" Strange Effects of Extreme Cold. Strange Effects of Extreme Cold. Dr. Moss of the English polar expedition of 1875-77, among many other things, told of the strange effects of the extreme cold upon the candies they burned. The temperature was from 35 to 50 degrees below zero, and the doctor says he was considerably discouraged when upon looking at his candle he discovered that the flame "had all it could do to keep warm." It was so cold that the flame could not melt all of the tallow of the candle, but was forced to eat its way down, leaving a sort of skeleton candle standing. There was heat enough, however, to melt old shaped holes in the thin walls of tallow, the result being a beautiful lace, like cylinder of white, with a narrow tongue of yellow flame burning on the inside and sending out many streaks of light into the darkness. Eating Scales In England. The water baily of London brought a "quick" seal to court, receiving 20 shillings 8 pence (1530), and in the same year the item "for bringing a cele" 15 shillings occurs. Seals were eaten, though they may have been kept as a curiosity. One was presented to Cromwell, Wolsey's successor in Henry's favor, though it died before he could have derived much pleasure from it. Perhaps he ate it. At Henry VII's wedding feast in 1487 one of the dishes was "seyle in fenny, entirely served richly," and very rich it must have been. In Cromwell's accounts for 1537 William Wodehouse's servant brings a porpoise, and porpoises we know are eaten. -Good Words. Hightown Langkas. In the east the flow of language in praise of rulers is sometimes wonderful. The Burnesque greeting Lord Curzon, viceroy of India, at the Royal inks, declared that "his glory shines resplendent as the orb of day, his intellect is as farreaching as the lightning. May he be as glorious as the sun and moon". The Prince of Wales was extolled by an oriental subject as "great thief" under the impression that this was the highest possible compliment. Another monarch was named "the protector of all vegetables, regulator of the seasons, absolute master of the ebb and flow of the sea." Only One Clean Thing. When Jones was at Oxford, he was a most excellent fellow, and had only one enemy—soap. He was called Dirty Jones. One day the wag Brown went into his rooms and remonstrating with him on the untidy, slovenly and dirty state of everything said: "Upon my word, Dirty, it's too bad. The only clean thing in your room is the towel!" First Fruits. Kindergarten--Children, this morning I have a surprise for you.

Stewart and Mr. Jarvis, of Chicago, were in the city, en route from San Francisco. Mrs. J. Curd will leave on the midnight Oregon Short Line train for Dillon. She is going down for a short visit. Mrs. Charles F. Alexander of Dillon was in the city Thursday. She returned on the 4:30 train. The Woman's Club will meet next Monday evening at the residence of the vice president, Mrs. M. E. Davis, on 222 South Arizona street. Mr. George Roper, of St. Paul, had a misfortune of very serious consequence. He got his arm mashed off. He is now in a hospital in St. Paul. Mrs. Sam Jones went to Anaconda last Saturday and spent Sunday with Mrs. Norman. She returned Sunday evening. Mrs. Norman is expecting to visit Butte during the races. Mr. Webb, of St. Paul, is quite sick. We have missed Mr. Webb for several days and could not account for him not showing up in Butte. We will be glad to hear of his recovery. Mrs. W. Kiowa, of Kansas City, a friend of Mrs. W. A. Washington, is contemplating coming to the Smoky City to live. Mrs. Washington reports everything prosperous in Kansas. Mr. John Ganey, the distinguished railway mail clerk, who has been running out of Havre for a year, is again in the city and will run from Butte to Great Falls. We are glad to have our jolly friend back with us again. Miss Jessie Woodcock, of Helena, was visiting Mrs. J. I. Jacobs over the 'phone Tuesday. Herself and Mrs. Faulkerson expect to visit the Smoky City during the dedication of the new church. Mr. Charles P. Smith was in the city this week visiting Mrs. Smith, who has been indisposed for a few days. Mr. James Collins and Charles F. Smith were in Helena last Saturday and Sunday. From what we can learn there must be something doing or the boys would not have come back with such broad smiles. Mr. Chris. Dorsey was in Helena Sunday and Monday, looking up subscriptions for the New Age, and has added quite a number to our already large list. Mrs. W. A. Washington received a letter from her sister stating her sister's mother-in-law was dead. Mrs. Washington just recently returned from Sterling, Kan., where she went to visit the bedside of her mother, who died a few weeks ago. Mr. William B. Brice, son of Mrs. Brice, of Butte, died Friday morning in Phoenix, Arizona, to which place he went last winter in search of health, but the hot climate did not agree with him, and he gradually failed until the end came. The young man was 18 years of age. The New Age extends sympathy to the family in their sad bereavement. Mrs. Kelly, Mrs. Wilds and Mrs. Johnson, with Mr. Charles Brown, S. Harden and a number of other gentlemen, whose names we were unable to secure, went to Anaconda Friday night to a dance given by one of Anaconda's social clubs. All reported a nice time. Mrs. S. P. Rhodes, of St. Louis, arrived in the city last week and is stopping with her brother, Mr. A. Rhodes, on South Main street. Mrs. Rhodes is an evangelist and has traveled from the Missouri river to the Coast, doing great good in lifting up fallen humanity. Mrs. Rhodes will preach at the A. M. E. church next Sunday. She expects to remain in the city for several months. We are pleased to put on our subscription list Mr. M. C. Perry, of Checotah, Indian Territory. Mr. Perry is one of the brightest young business one of the brightest young business men in the Greek nation. He went there when a mere boy, and now he has amassed a fortune that will reach into the thousands. The New Age is rapidly gaining more territory. We will soon have our paper reach every state and territory in the United States and Alaska. In the Needmore Social Club the lights are out there nights. --- THE NEW AGE. Mrs. S. Reeves was indisposed last week and was under the care of a physician. Hon. Peter Britton, and Spencer Smith, two of our former townsmen, are doing nicely in Helena. Mr. Harry B. acobs, assistant surgeon of Dr. W. L. Renick, was on the sick list this week. Mrs. John R. Dewitt has deeded to C. F. Jones an undived one-third interest in the King Soloman lode mining claim. The Grand Opera House will close Saturday night for the season, to open again August 21 with Garden's minstrels. The Overland Minstrels' special trip to Helena was a grand success. Every one had a good time and there were things doing which will live in the "pacing history." Mr. Sam Horn, who was recently shot and it was thought at the time, fatally injured, is recovering rapidly from his illness and it is thought he will be out in a very short time. Any one, wishing to engage in a good restaurant business can do si in Butte just now, and, in our opinion, should do exceedingly well. We would like to see some energetic colored person avail himself of the opportunity. Mr. Raleigh Jackson has accepted a position at Symons' large dry goods emporium. Mr. Jones, who formerly held the same position, resigned to go to the opening of the Fort Hall reservation in Idaho. Miss Mattie Walker returned last Thursday after a seven months' visit in New York city. Miss Walker states that he health is tip-top and she is feeling better now than she has for many months. We are glad to see our esteemed and charming friend back again and glad to see her looking so pleasing. In the past we have been unable to secure favors that are usually accorded to other citizens, all for one reason; we have not demanded recognition in the proper manner, and until this is done there is no way in which we can ever be respected as being worthy of notice. Let us seek in harmony to elevate our social position and thereby reap benefits that we in the past have been unable to secure. THE DOPE BOOK. Judging from the size of Mr. Gainey's trousers, he must be expecting an increase in salary. Things have been quite breezy in Butte this week, Friday evening being the most noticeable. We attribute the sudden change in the barometer due to the blowing of the Silver Bow band. Keep on blowing, boys; there will be a hot time in the old town some night. We warn the editor of the California dope not to show up in Butte until certain of us have reflected a bit. We don't know the editor, yet we think that he is too good a man to be beheaded. Jimmy Yancy thought hehad another Eunc in Sadie S., but Gold Heels was his Waterloo. It is not definitely known at this time just how much the little Booker played, but he backed her from 40 to 1 to 15 to 1. A champion ping-pong and tennis series of games between the Butte Cracks and those of the Capital city would prove very interesting, as well as a social treat for those engaged directly and indirectly. The Butte thoroughbred racers and pacers are preparing to take the capital city by storm during the dedication and without doubt many records will be broken. The valet millionaire push will all be there as well as many others who have announced their attention of so doing. Mr. Arthur Wilson dropped into our sanctum fresh from the hills of Dillon in a bright new Tuxedo suit. Arthur has temporarily resigned from the ranks of the professional piano players and is engaged in sheep raising. His Lamb, Lamb!" Something so much affected the genial steward of the Overland club on his recent visit to Helena, that he actually retired at 12 o'clock. The effort or sceme to put Col. Jim Collins off of the Overland special, didn't go. The colonel fell on to the plan and when the conductor called for his fare he was not referred to the boss, but Jim promptly dug up himself and so the laugh was on the crowd as there were no ropes pulled and no one put off. Think of the disastrous effect the king's English would have suffered if Col. Collins had been compelled to walk four miles into WE ARE RISING. Mr. C. F. Jones, the colored mining man, has spent all of this week in Butte, perfecting the arrangements for the organization and incorporation of the Afro-American Mining and Developing company.

The grand fair that the Methodist church gave lasted four nights, commencing Tuesday evening and winding up Friday with a grand concert by the celebrated Silver Bow band. The fair was a success and many valuable and handsome presents were donated by the merchants and business men for the benefit of the church. Quite a notable feature was the ladies soliciting nickles and dimes to buy presents. The man with the fatest purse was the most sought after. Most all of them succeeded in securing the necessary amount to buy some article as a souvenir of the fair. The man with the dope book and side lights on form could have found quite a good field to work in.

Jordan Allen excelled himself in point of eloquence, explaining the historic origin of the Tabernacle. The Daughters were resplendent in their new costumes of white with green satin collars and belts. This very genteel organization won many admiring glances and much favorable comment from a crowded house by their close attention to details and their dignified bearing. The Daughters held their annual election on last Friday, the following being the choice of the ordr: Chief Preceptress—Ida B. Williams. Vice Preceptress—Mary E. Davis. Chief Recorder—Julia Parsons. Vice Recorder—Adelaide Cooper. Treasurer—Annie Phillips. Hyrego—Rachel Frisby. Examiners—Melvina Williams, Lottie Williams. Installation of officers will be held at the home of Mrs. Johnson on next Friday evening. The retiring body of officers have gained the confidence and respect of the order by their faithfulness and ability, and as the new officers take up the reins of power, all are firm in determination to make the order a blessing to each household it is connected with, each doing her duty in love and charity, trusting God for the rest. WINS FIRST PLACE. Colored Boy in Seattle Recites From Booker T. Washington. Special to the New Age. Reciting an extract from Booker T. Washington's famous speech at Harvard university, Haydon Richardson, a high school boy of the great educator's race, won first place in the high school senior class declamation contest last night. Competing with him for the first prize were seven of the best trained speakers of the graduating class. Richardson was not called on for his speech until the latter part of the programme. Preceding him were delivered three excellent speeches, Liberal aplause had been given each of them. At the conclusion of the young colored boy's impassioned plea, however, his listeners cheered him to the front of the stage again after he had returned to his seat. That the coveted prize was his there was no doubt. Of the eight recitations, Richardson won the first place and Miss Leah Grumbaum second. The speeches were interspersed with musical selections, making a very interesting programme. The prizes awarded were $10 for first place and $5 for second. The judges were Miss Mae Elizabeth Stephens, Arthur Rutherford, Ovid Byers, Miss Potter and Miss Peck—Seattle Post-Intelligencer. LODGE NOTES.
