Received Two Bullets From Ambush While Escorting Lady Home. Des Moines, Iowa, Aug. 19.—Rev. Frank Lomack, pastor of the First African Baptist church, will probably die as the result of bullet wounds received at the hands of A. L. McKinney last night, while escorting Mrs. Sophia Taylor home from the opera. McKinney sprang from a clump of bushes and opened the duel, Lomack replying with four ineffectual shots. McKinney is under arrest. He had sought the hand of Mrs. Taylor and was jealous of Lomack. IDAHO SPRINGS. IDAHO. (Special to New Age.) Soda Springs, a little city in the center of a great meadow upon which cattle graze continually, and surrounded by beautiful mountains on either side, with its lovely mineral springs, is the place where one claims, the air as their own upon which to soar their thoughts in praise and thankfulness to Him who created all the beauties of nature. It was here where I had the pleasure of spending last Sunday. Mr. Willikes G. Bonner is spending the summer here. Mr. T. B. Jenkins, formerly chef cook on the Union Pacific dining car, in company with his wife, has charge of the "Idaho hotel kitchen." This is their second summer. The Idaho is a beautiful hotel, excellently furnished from top to bottom with large store room and ice houses attached. Mr. T. B. Jenkins, the chef, is a master of his profession and Mr. and Mrs. C. T. Woodall, the proprietress thinks their house incomplete with out him and his wife. Among the things that will be long remembered is the hospitality show me by Mrs. Woodall, and the cordial welcome I received from Mr. and Mrs. Jenkins. POCATELLO NOTES. In passing through Pocatello I found many things of interest to our people of which I have time to write only a few items. Work is good and good colored men that will stay in is demand, and I am glad to say that quite a new men with their families are coming in with the intention of making Pocatello their future home; a thing that more ought to do. If you have no family, get one. Noticing we had no letter from Pocatello for two or three weeks, I inquired after our correspondent, Mr. Wagner, and round he had been confined to his bed for more than two weeks with a severe attack of pneumonia. His many friends will be glad to know that he is up and around again. Miss Hays, who recently came from Dawson, N. W. T., where she spent several months, speaks very highly of the country, but says "there is no place like home." From all appearances Miss Hays has a treasure in Pocatello and it is not gold, silver non diamonds. DOPE BOOK. The familiar face and portly figure of Colonel Jim Collins is missed from his usual haunts down town. His cheery laugh and bright smile is no longer seen down town setting the pace. There are many conjectures as to the cause. It is rumored that if you pass by his residence at night you see a nocturnal shadow saying "Come on, come on;" then favorite "Silver Dick" lost by five lengths. One of his friends with musical inclinations is composing a song. He is no longer able to sport since "Silver Dick" lost. BUTTE, MONTANA, SATURDAY. AUGUST 23, 1902. UNITE MEN OF COLOR A CO-OPERATIVE LEAGUE MAY BE FORMED IN HELENA. ELEVATE A RACE. WANT COLORED PEOPLE TO BUY HOMES AND GAIN EDUCATION. (Special to the New Age.) The Colored Cooperative league may be started in Spokane within the next few weeks. Already several people have been approached upon this matter, and it is expected now that Rev. J. D. Pettigrew, a colored evangelist, who has been working at Seattle to form such a league, will be in Spokane to complete his work in this direction. Mr. Pettigrew was in this city during the early part of the year, with the intention of forming such an organization. He visited Rev. J. B. Beckham, Rev. J. S. Payne, Charles Ryan, Mr. Stokes, D. A. Johnson and other leading colored men of Spokane, with the result that he made up his mind to call a mass meeting of the colored citizens of Spokane to form this league. Just at that time, however, he was taken sick, and had to give up the project before completing his work. A few days ago Rev. J. S. Beckham received a letter from Mr. Pettigrew asking if the field here was as ready for such a movement as it was when he was taken sick. Mr. Beckham encouraged him to come on and complete this work, as he believed that such a movement would still be favorable to the interests of the colored people of the city. Mr. Beckham expects that Mr. Pettigrew may be in Spokane in a few days, or weeks, at most. When Mr. Beckham was seen this morning concerning the movement, he said: "I had t letter from him last week asking if I thought an organization of this kind could be effected in this city now, and if the outlook was as favorable as it was when he left the city. I think that the majority of the colored people of this city would favor a movement of this kind. I understand that there are about 700 colored people in Spokane." **Purpose of the Order.** The purpose of the movement fostered by Mr. Pettigrew are outlined as follows: 1. To cultivate, foster and perpetuate at all hazards, the spirit of union in the race, as a vital race necessity. 2. To promote business enterprises among his people. 3. To encourage his people to buy homes, take up homestead claims, buy farms in the country, and become owners of the soil; thereby laying a foundation for their families' future, and giving their boys and girls a chance in the race of life. 4. To improve the educational condition of his race in the west, by urging upon them everywhere, to keep their children faithfully in attendance of school; and by pushing them through the high schools. 5. To help keep the race at work by training a faithful and reliable class of men and women as desirable help. 6. To help the women of his race to realize their important place in the elevation of his people; and to encourage them to put their influences to work in the formation and development of mothers' meetings, kinergartens, industrial classes for girls, and such other work as naturally fall to women in their efforts at race elevation and preservation. SPOKANE. Spokane, Aug. 15, 1902. Special to the New Age. special event of the week was the reception given by Mrs. Huston on Thursday evening, the 14th, it being the occasion of her husband, Sargeant Huston's birthday. There were about fifty guests present, representing the beauty and talent of Spokane society. The Huston's own a lovely home Gardens Springs, about three miles from the city. Being a cloudy night one could not see all of the surrounding, only that it was beautifully situated among trees and growing vines. The interior presented a beautiful appearance, being lavishly decorated with flowers on the piano, and tables. Music was furnished by different ladies, for those who cared to indulge in the dreamy waltz or the maze two step. Those who did not indulge in this pastime promenaded or held teteetes on the spacious veranda, or in the lovely parlor. Champagne punch was served at intervals. About 12 o'clock luncheon was served, which consisted of rolls, chicken croquettes. green peas and tomato with lettuce, and mayonnaise, after which came sherbet and cake, black coffee. About 1:30 the guests took their de- partment after thanking the host and hostess for a delightful evening. Mr. Clark has taken Charge of the Country club. Mr. Harris and Mr. Boggle, Sr., of Walla Walla, have been visiting in the city for a few days. Mr. Hill Lawrence is visiting in the city for a few days, he expects to run between Spokane and Seattle. Mr. Darnell, entertained Mrs. Owens and Mrs. Smith at dinner at Wilson's grill last Wednesday evening. Peter Way was given a gold ring for being the handsomest colored baby at the baby show. Mr. Darnell, who has been living in this city for some time, will return to his former home, Helena, in a few days. Mr. and Mrs. Martin, who have been running the Country club for some time, accepted a position in Helena. Miss Minnie Brown, who is visiting in Kaslo, B. C., has written that she will not return until next Thursday much to the disappointment of her friends, who expected her home this Saturday. Mr. Wallace, of Walla Walla, gave a very entertaining and instructive lecture at the Baptist church last Sunday evening. Mr. Harris is a minister, but for several years has not had a church. He has a position in the U. S. Land office at Walla Walla. SALT LAKE CITY. Mrs. Perkins and Miss Blanche Flake went to Idaho Falls this week. The Calvery Baptist church served meals last week and did well. The interest of the popee is turned to a rumor of a quiet wedding to be in the very near future. Mrs. Thurman is on the sick list this week. Joy came to the home of Mr. and Mrs. Perkins last Saturday night with a bouncing baby girl. It weighed nine pounds. Mother and baby are doing well. Mr. and Mrs. E. D. Washington spent last Saturday afternoon with Mrs. A. Thompson, 325 Thirteenth street east. She is delighted to see her friends since she returned from the hospital. Mrs. Lizzie Simmons is improving sowly. Mrs. Willis Green and her two lady friends, of Pueblo, Colo., are stopping with Mrs. B. F. McIntyre, 358 West Second south. Mr. Willie Clark is doing nicely at St. Mark's hospital; but to have his friends call often helps him to improve. Mr. E. D. Washington is in Boise, Idaho, this week. Mr. L. Johnson has favored us with his subscription for the New Age for which we take pleasure in thanking Mr. Johnson. Mrs. Roberson, an evadgelist from Guthrie, Oaklahoma, is here attending the Seventh Day Adventist camp meeting, and spoke at the Trinity A. M. E. church last Sunday night. GREAT FALLS NOTES.

SATURDAY, AUGUST 24, 1902, OUR POLITICAL POT. ‘The New Age desires to extend Its thanks to the leading colored politi- cians of the state for their sanction of our efforts towards perfecting a strong political organization which will act in a concerted manner the state over, We shall endeavor to add an extra page to our paper in order to vetter and fully put before our peo. ple the political issues and interests nvolved in the campaign and those to whom we deem the organization should extend its support. This is the campaign for the colored voter to make himself felt and fett strongly in the close districts. Locally the negro voter should not be wedded to any party nor this organization swervered to the interests of any clique of politicians, but supporting those interests which, after due con- sideration, we deem expedient and wise for our own benefit and the ben- efit of the state at iarge. With the rumors which are current of the various candidates who will seek of fice at the graces of the political voters of Silver Bow county we have hear one each mentioned for the of fice of state senator and county at torney respectively, who we sin cerely hope will enter the race for nomination ari be nommated. The colored voters will rally to the sup port of young men who have evinces a practical interest in the welfare o the colored people, \gio have broa minds; who employ them and en courage them. Supporting solidly the race friends, we'll make other friends We are strong enough in Helena Butte and Anaconda to demonstrate | strong political power and our effort from now on until election day will b towards perfecting our temporary 01 . ganization in these cities. “PREJUDICE, THE CHILD OF IG NORANCE.” By Nora E. Hulings Siegel, Denver, Colorado. An article by Ellis Meredith in “The Rocky Mountain News,” Denver, Aug- ust 17th, says, quoting Commissioner Lacy, of North Carolina, in advocat- ing the abolition of child labor, he says: “Some restrictive measures must be passed in the near future or the constitutional amendment will dis- franchise the white man, while per- mitting the Negro to vote. The white boy, compelled to labor in the mills 4s deprived of an education, while the colored children whio are not permitted to work in the mills are going to school. Mr. Lacy believes that in- fluence of the mill owners will be strong enough to prevent any child labor for a time, but is confident that the people will insist on the pasage of such a law before many years. _ Verily! “Your sins shall find you out.” Nothing more nor less than prejudice begotten of ignorance causes the white industrial slave of the South to hate the once chattel slave to the extent that he will not work along side of him, Those innocent of the cause are being benefitted by it just the same. Why the white laborin; class should hold such animosity to ward their colored brothers as they do I am sure not one could give + plausible rgson. It is lamentadle, bu true, the same feeling extends throug! the North and West, but to a mucl less degree. Yes, the Negro should feel encow aged for by the time white laborer get their eyes open to the fact tha they have been “cutting off their ow noses,” the Negro will have arisen t that educational stand where he wi be on an intelligent footing with, | ‘not beyond, that of hid white brothe: where he will make rapid strides t ward influence and affluence in th social scale. Mark my word! The future of thi country belongs to the Mulatto! Th white race has had its day. Throug cruelty and selfishness they have su ceeded in exterminating the real Nort Americans, the Indians, but the Neg by the grace of the inate good with! him is holding his own. He ts na urally progressive in the passive ar only true way, where the Indian quarrelzome, his love nature is sv passingly wonderful as you will no if you care to take the trouble to ¢ so. With all the suffering and hum eee I ee I ee a race owe him a debt and hate him ac- cordingly, but while they are Sarl and seemingly displacing his so far aa the opportunity for earning a paltry pittence at the labor marts 1s con- cerned, they are missing the all im- portant opportunity; that of schooling during youth. Is this not deplorable, and too, “in the land of the free?” But the colored child is making use of it as God (good) intends he shall; ‘fand when he does rise in power as 15 ‘the sure outcome from the law of reci- procity and justice he wil! not debase ‘his nature by erime and violence as ‘the white races do and have done. No! He will be ever merciful. } Ominopotence has allowed slavery of the blacks, has allowed the cruelty lof the whites all for reasons which ‘time reveals to the thoughtful and ‘possess by the careless. | You ask a middle-class white man why it is he hates the Negro? He in- ‘variably replys: “Ugh! They are so ignorant and impertinent and strong- sme!.ng!” When you attempt to argue ‘the point in favor of the Negro, such as: “All that is soon overcome; first, ‘educate him; second, cultivate him ‘from the standpoint of love; third, mix /his blood with that of the white race land you have a superior being in ap- pearance, in intelligence and in spiri- tuality. But no, he will listen to noth- ing in reason. His prejudice blinds his sight to the fact that the Negro towels, little Mabel and Ray Williams; the charm of the splendid collection. is equally a child of God (good).” Note the progress he has made in the thirty-fve years of comparative freedom, Note with what ease he has populated his country. The Negro woman passes through the periods of gestation with little or no suffering in comparison with her white sister. All this will count for worth in race problem for the upbuilding of a na- tion later on. “The mills of the Gods grind slowly and they grind exceed: jingly small.” | When a person reasons from the plane of the unregenerate mind ke looses sight of many things, but when he has progressed into the realm of love, reger“iate mind, he sees good in all things. God (good) will not wait always. Persons endowed with intelligence are ‘expected to use it, not merely in part but all, and by using gain more. He is not to use it for selfish purposes |but for the good of all within reach | This ts the law of reciprocity. It does me good to read report '|from such as Brother Booker T. Wash |ington. There is never one bit of re ‘|sentment in his feeling toward th white people. His appeals are wordes in perfect love. He knows whereo |ne stands and that no one can affor to harbor ill will even toward thos. who use them wrong, “As you sov so shall you reap.” I love my ow1 '|race, therefore feel keenly their lacl Jot appreciation in right directions o the grand opportunities with whic! |love, God has indorsed them.

If the white people hold thoughts of hatred toward the colored people. they grow hateful themselves and un- lke God (good.)

ROUTE. | Had any seer predicted a few years’ ago that hundreds of people would today be taking pleasure and recrea- tive trips to the arctic circle with all the luxuries and conveniences ot travel, he would have been classed as possessing a fanatical imagination, or a Utopian dreamer of the highest de- gree. Yet for the business man seek- ing rest and recreation from the tur- moll and struggle of business cares, or the tourist desiring a trip replete with wonders of natures art, incident, of exciting and extraordinary interest, or the jolly fellow of the world in quest of a high time different from the general rut, can each find the acme of his desire by a summer trip Bs the key to the Klondike, the Yu- kon & White Pass route to the me- pale of the gold fields, Dawson. I experienced the privilege as well as the pleasure of accompanying my em. ployer, Mr. F. A. Heinze, and Mr. E. L. Whitmore, upon a trip of a month traveling over 4,000 miles—by all manner of conveyances, ships, In- dian couves, private cars, dog teams and pack horses and “mushing” in a term applied to that kind of travel ling you do with your own propellers, and while a limited newspaper article cannot describe (it would take a book to do that) in detail all of the trip, 1 shall endeavor to give a brief descrip tion of some of the most noted things of interest. Leaving that lively rendevous of the Nome and Klondike gold seeker, 4s well as the shipping metropolis of the Pacific and Aretic ocean, Seattle, the 26 of July, the gang plank was pulled on board, of the floating pal- ace of the Pacific Coast Steamship company, the Cottage City, the usual familiar bon voyage scenes took place and we steamed out into the straight of Juan De Fuca and a delightful ride of eight hours, we touched at Vic- toria on Vancouver island and took in the sights of the Pacific English metropolis, where the English style o' architecture predominated over whict \everywhere one sees the British flag || Here is one of the finest state'y grouy or buildings on the continent, the '|Parliament bulldings, which are buil upon a commanding hill with ver; | beanttut grounds acd a public parl Jon the same tract.

After passing this Johnstor 1d |Straights we meet the first touch | at |the ocean swells, and it was ve ft | amusing to see as our ship was toss: st-|here and there upon the billoy a-| waves, to see the passengers getti rt {oft of the deck, running to thé he | state rooms and begin to involuntari ty.|feed the fish and incidentally ¢ as|them fat for the whales, I ate sor he |lemons and incidentally, with gre 1. | difficulty managed to drink sor be| whiskey, went to sleep and woke tor'in Hecate Straits, past. the roght ee ee eee ee ee ening I went up on deck and found Mr. Heinze and Mr. Whitmore inten- sely interested in one of the greatest sights I have ever seen. Here and there around us one saw the majestic king of the sea, the whale spouting and feeding. Some ot them were within a hundred yards of our ship, and with their enormous fins as large as the sail of a boat, and thelr huge tails in the air as they would dive, only to reappear at an- other points spouting geysers of wate’ into the air, is one of the greatest sights of the 600-mile water trip. Dixson entrance and Milbank Sound —veware of them. Here the ocean waves roll highest and lashed the vessel angrily. “My desire to again set foot solid on terri firma was finally rewarded early one morning as I was awakened by the jar of the ship landing at a wart, and as I hurriedly went ashore at Ketchican, Alaska, I almost though* I was in another world—for here, and at Wrangle one sees the environment of the Alaska Indian as he is. The huge Totem poles—many of them fifty and nearly 100 feet high—and five and ten feet thick, which are elaborately carved, at the top of which you find the carved image of a fish or a crow, or a hawk, the whole pole carvings died with the ‘natural dyes which the Indians make from herbs, They are erected in ‘every village and some are historic, which are thus handed down from father to son, others are in commemo- ration of battles and victorious deeds of particular exhibitions of virtue or bravery, ete. Here we received our first solicitations from the Alaska In- ‘dian vender of baskets, slippers and trinkets of all kinds, and many inter- esting curios, which are marvels of. their peculiar typ® of art and work. When one pulls away from Ketchi- ‘con the picturesque and interesting part of the trip begins. Here the great artist of nature's wonders, in the geological evolution of our earth has created some of its greatest ‘splendors,. As the ship wends away ‘through the tortuous Wrangel nar- ‘rows, which are extremely dangerous, ‘one sees the snow-capped mountains the summit all snow, the bases one |green mass of the verdure of the frozen north. In the distance at va- rious points there are huge glaciers; \then again along the banks we passed large salmon canning fac- tories, Indian villages with their host of dogs and great canoes. Some of ‘these huge canoes made out of the ‘skins of animals, which the Indian braves in their hunts bring home as trophies of their prowess. Some are \chiseted out of the huge trees of the |forest. One passes by numbers of |these canoes, some loaded with sal- mon, others going for the catch. So |sreat is the variety of secnery and in. cidents that there was not a dull mo- [ment to Skagway.

Pretty nearly every one has seen the curious “sea ruffles,” or “sea neck- laces,” which are found plentifully on ocean beaches. These are the egg cases of the sea snails, They consist of a number of small disk shaped en- velopes attached along a sort of stem. the biggest of them being in the mid- die. In each envelope there is a little spot of thinner material, which the young break through when they are ready to be hatched. When the female gasteropnd is sbout to lay, she buries herself in the sand, from the surface of which the “necklace” of eggs is gradually extruded. Being thus set adrift and exposed to the elements, as well as to devouring enemies, few of the eggs are ever hatebed, but those which do come into the world safely and survive doubtless live to a very great age. ‘Siicitest tin ab tia Mexico possesses a curious physical formation.

High above this plateau tower the snow capped crests of several vol- canoes, most of which are extinct. ‘Ten of them are over 12.000 feet in height, and three look down upon fer- tile valleys from altitudes of 17.782, 17,856 and 16,060, These are Popo catapetl, Orizaba and Ixiaccthuatl, ‘The Voice of Experience.
