Cheating ths Africans.

Soor after The war tho South was g
prolific field for rascals to prey on the
ignorance Of the newly emancipated
slaves. Jackson County, Florida, had
an immense colored population, and
here many swindlers found themselves
in clover 0ne scheme was worked
with especial success. Two fashily
dressed gentlemen driving hand
some turnout made house to house
canvass, representing to the negroes
that they were sent out by the Gov
crnment to see if the titles to the
negroes properties we're good. Ia
each case the title was found to be
bad, of course. and the conEdins
negro was informed that it would be
made good on payment Of S25. The
poor negroes hustled around, sold
stock, household goods and even what I
little clothing they had to raise the
money. When that was paid large
envelope with red seal was given,
with strict instructions not to open it
or talk to anyone, but to keep quiet
until day named, two weeks from
that time, when nc would meet She
Government agents at the county
seat, when his title would be made all
right.
On the day named over Gvc thou
sand negroes gathered in Mariana.
The day wore on, but the Government
agents camc not. Finally, about night,
one of them went to local lawyer and
had his envelope opened. Here was
what he found for title: "Know all
men by these presents, that as Moses
lifted up the serpent in the wilder
ness, so have we lifted $25 out Of this
fool" And then voice was heard
weeping in the land it was the negro,
and he refused to be comforted be-
cause his $25 was not.

COTTON PICKING MACHINES.
They are Sure to Come in the n car Future.

The boat is probably twenty inches
deep. At each end is an iron ring, to
which steady horse is hitchcd. The
pickcrs, usually two, get into the boat,
start the horse between two rows Of
cotton, and with scarcely any bending,
and no carrying Of heavy sacks, ride
in case while they work. IT is claim
cd that person who can pick $50
pounds with a sack can pick 200
pounds with a boat, for the reason
that no time is wasted putting the
cotton into Che sack, the picker drop
ping it loose in the bottom Of the
boat. Inventor Wilson already has
secured patent for his cotton boat.
Several of them will be sent to Southern
States this week, where they will be
exhibited in the cotton fields.
1t would seem that the backache of
the cotton field would have suggested
long ago such simple contrivancc,
but an old Texas cotton buyer said
that he had never before heard of such
a thing; that persons regularly engag-
cd in the business developed cotton
picking muscles" in their backs, and
never need boats.

AN EARLY BLAZE.
Three Pearl Street Business Houses Burn

Three Pearl Street Business Houses Burn
ed Out Last Night.
Shortly before six o'clock fire broke
out in the Fashion Store on Pearl street
and befofe it was checked, spread to the
barber shop of Frank Daugherty and E.
A. Douglas jewelry store. The Fashion
store owned by George Sheen was COM
pletely gutted bp fire, but the main dam
age done to Daugherty's and Douglas
was by water. .-.
The fire had secured good start be-
fore it was discovered, but in spite of
that fact and the coldness of the night,
good work was done in checking the
blaze and conhning it only to the build
ing in which it started.
The origin of the fire was in the FASH
ion, but the cause has not yet been dis
covered. All OF the parties injured car.
ried insurance in the following sums:
Sheen s2,e5o on stock and $3.50 on fix
lures; Daugherty $500 and Douglas $500.
The insurance on the building was
5000.
Mr.. Sheen says that be is unable to
account for the fire. as he had left the
store but few moments before. He
had been in the store all day marking
goods and left the place at quarter to
five o'clock. 1t was but a short time
after that the fire was discovered. Mr..
Sheen says that it is very likely that the
fire was started by sparks from the stove
as that seemed to be the origin.

DENVER WON THE GAME.
THE FINAL SCORE WAS 8 TO O..
The State University Team Get Defeated by
Small Score.

The State University Team Get Defeated by
Small Score.
In the last meet OF the season, and in
game that was stubbornly and valiantly
fought, the state university team was
defeated by the Denver Athletic club
team in Denver yesterday by score of
8 to O. The superior weight of the Den.
yer men and some unfortunate fumbling
by Boulder at critical points of the
game cut off their chances of holding
the state championship for another year.
Boulder's play was fast and plucky and
the Denver's will not forget in hurry
that they played Thanksgiving game.
The game was stubborniy fought one
from start TO finish and Boulder did not
cease her magnificent play against the
beefy Denvers till the whistle blew for
the call of time. Boulder kept the ball
in D. A. c. territory all through the first
half and twice had it so close to their
line that touch down seemed Inevitable.
1t was during the second half, when be-
ing hard pressed Lewis tried kick, the
ball was blocked. was knocked over the
line and secured by D. A. c. man for a
touch down. This was sumner for the
Boulder boys. The second touch down
was made by fierce line bucks of the
heavy Denver team. Neither goal was
kicked.
The game was very rough one and
D. A. c. was in great luck in having a
referee that was afraid of hurting their
feelings. Their slugging tactics were a
disgrace to the game and were persisted
in from start to finish. While the game
was fairly won and there was no kick on
the manner in which the touch downs
were earned, the Boulder people cannot
help feeling that hereafter when Boulder
plays this famous plug ugly team officials
should be secured that will give a fair
deal.
The population of Boulder was serious
ly depleted by the immense crowd that
went down from here to attend the
game. Their sturdy encouragement of
the team is the most sincere proof of
their endorsement OF their work. AL
though the root-rs had reason to be
noisy through nearly all OF the game, at
its close the cheers were hushed and the
early train pulled out for Boulder in
silence.
The banquet at the St. James after
ward, participated in by nearly 100 stu
dents and professors, was great success
and greatly revived the dropping spirits
OF the college men. A number of ex.
cellent toasts were made by Major Full
ton, DR.. Mclean, President Baker, Dillon,
Folsom, Gamble and others. Among
the best was that of Dr.. Pfelfer in whlc h
