The Regeneration of Africa.

(By +. Ia lSak9 Seme) Con

This all powerful contact say S
even to The most back ward race,
you cannot TALL back, you must
advance! A great century has
come upon us. No race possess

fuence constitutes the very ess-
encc of efficient progress and Of
civilization.
From these heights of the
twentieth century | again ask
you tn cast your eyes south Of
the Desert of Sahara. If you
could go with me to the Cypress
ed Congos and ask, What does it
mean, that now, for liberty, they
fight like men and die like mar .
yrs; if you would g. with
me to Bechuanaland, face their
council of Headmen and ask what
motives caused them recently to
decree so emphatIcalIy that al
cOholic drinks shall not enter
their country-visit their king,
Khama. ask for what cause he
leaves the gold and ivory palace
of his ancestors, its mountain
strongholds and all It's august
ceremony, to wander daily from
village to village through all his
kingdom, without a guard or any
decoration of his rank-a preach
er of industry and education, and
an apostles of the new order of
things; If you would ask Menelik
what means this that Abyssinia
is now looking across the ocean
oh, if you could read the letters
that come to US from Zululand
you to would be convinced that
the elevation of the African race
is evidently part Of the new Or
der of things that belong to this
new and powerful period.
The African already recognizes
his anomalous position and de-

OolouSS w UllIS new duu pOWoII vi
period! BY this term regener.
alton [ wish to be understood to
mean the entrance into new
life, embracing the diverse pha-
SEES of a higher, complex eXis-
tence. The basic factor which
assures their regeneration re-
sides in the awakened race con.
sciousness- This gives them a
clear perception of their ell
emental needs and of their I'M
developed powers. 1t therefore
must lead them TO the attainment
of that advanced standard of
life.
The African people, although
not a strictly homogeneous race
possesses a common Fundamental
s9tlment which is every where
manifest, Cry stalking itself into
one common controlling idea.
Conflicts and strife are rapidly
disappearing before the fusing
force Of this enlightened percept-
ion of the true intertribual relat-
ion, which relations should sub
sist among a people Of common
destiny. Agencies Of d social,
economic and religious advance
tell of d new spirit which, acting
as a leaveniug ferment, shall
ra Sc the anxious and aspiring
mass to the level of Their ancient
glory. The. ancestral greatness,
the unimpaired genius, and the
recupe rative p,wer Of the ra 20,
its irrepressibllity, which assures
its permanance, constitute the
African S greatest source of IN.
spiration. He has refused to
camp forever on the barders Of
the industrial world; having
learned knowledge is power, he
is educating his children. You
find that in Edinburg, in Cam
bridge, and in the great schools
of Germany These return to
their country like arrows, to
drive out the darkness from
their land. [ hold that his in
dustrial and educ tiOnal init
ative, and his untiring devotion
to these activities must be re-
garded as positive evidence Of
this process of his regener-
alton.
The regeneration of Africa
means that d new and unique
is soCn to | e added TO
the world. The African is not
a proletirian in the wo Id science
and art. He has precious ere
ations of his own, of ivory, of
copper, of gold, fine, plated
willow ware and wepons of sup
erior workmanship. Civilization
resem bles an organic being IN It's
devlopment-it is born, it perish
es and it can propagate itself
More p nrticula l., tines mbles a
plant. it takes root in The TEEN
ing earth, and when the seeds
fall in other soils new varieties
spring up. The most essential
departure of this new civilizat'
ion is that it shall be thoroughly
spiritual and humanlstic-indeed
regeneration moral and eter-
nal.

Plenty of Relief Funds.

San Francisco.-There will be no
limit to the resources of the finance
committee whose duty it is to expend
the mAions or dollars being sub
scribed for the relief of the homeless
sufferers in San Francisco. The
finance committee of the general relief
committee reported that it had re-
ceived contributions to date amounting
to 24,436.95, of which s172.000 is
the amount OF local subscription, while
$3.50, 900 has been promised locally.
TIE committee is not satisfied with
the ,e.al subscriptions and urges the
citizens of San Francisco to subscribe
more literally.

Damage to Stanford.

Sacramento, Cal. The following
signed statement, furnished to the AS
sociated Press by President Jordan,
was given out Thursday night:
"The earthquake did great damage
to the buildings of Stanford Uni
versity. Only two lives were lost. one
a student named ]. R. Hanna of Brad
ford, Pennsylvania. and fireman,
Hans S. Troh. Eight students were in
jured, none seriously. The buildings
wrecked are the Memorial church. the
new library. the gymnasium, the Me-
mortal arch and the power house.
Many buildings of the outer quad
rangle are seriously damaged. as well
as some of the shops. The chemistry
building and Encina hall. the inner
quadrangle, are practically uninjured.
The damage will approximate $4,000
900. The books. collections and APP
paratus are not greatly damaged. This
message, together with 400 private
messages from the university COM
munity, is sent from Sacramento, as
all telegraphic communication to Palo
Alto and all around the bay is out of
commission. (Signed)
DAVID STARR JORDAN"

Not Under Martial Law.

San Francisco.-San Francisco is
not under the ban of martial law and
has not been from the beginning.
There has been general misunder-
standing among the troops themselves.
The report that Mayor Schmitz is at
the head of all patrolling and merely
assisted by the troops has been Off
cially confirmed. The officers of the
army have stated that they are work
ing subject to any restricting order
from the mayor. Almost all of the
stories of rash violence on the part or
the troops are fimsy rumors. The
regular troops are working in accord
with instructions from the mayors Of
fee.

Eastern Hands Want Work.

Denver.-Deputy State Labor Com
missioner Edward V. Brake received a
number of letters from the East last
week from persons who are seeking
employment on farms and in fruit or
chards in Colorado. These communi-
cations have been sent by experienced
farm hands in the East, persons who
were born in this country. Brake is
anxious that the farmers and fruit rails
ers, especially those on the western
slope, be informed concerning these
inquiries, in order that he may send
them lists of persons who want en-
ployment I'm other words, l will
make my office a free employment
agency to handle these cases." said
Brake yesterday.

BOOK BEER FAD DYING OUT
Goat Pictures Not So Much in Evil
dence This Spring as in
Former Years.

Chicago.-What has become of the
bock-beer signs usually on display in
Chicago at this season? One may
walk up one street and down another
without SO much as catching a glimpse
of the goat rampant which. in former
years. always was as sure harbinger
of spring as robin or bluebird. Out
from multicolored posters everywhere
1t was the goats custom to look with
eye of defiance. shaking his shaggy
mano and beard at all corners. Now,
beer sellers say, the call for book beer
is not fourth as great as it was ten
years ago.
Once. with the first thaws, came
hundreds of calls for book beer at all
the German bars. All brewers pride
themselves on good book beer.
Book beer. according to the Ger.
mans who sell most of it, derives its
name from the fact that drinkers OF
the brew in Germany manifested o
desire to butt dehantly with their
heads at everybody or at anything
whenever they became intoxicated
from the drink. 1t is made usually
in March. to be opened for use s-rips
the month succeeding.

CLEARING AWAY RUINS.
orenehins Rain Causes Considerable
SUFFERING.


Denver.-Following is synopsis of
Monday nights San Francisco dis
patches:
Drenched by frequent heavy showers
and almost deafened by the roar of
dynamite. the. forces engaged in demol-
ishing the toppling walls of wrecked
buildings and clearing the streets of
San Francisco's devastated district
toiied on yesterday and good progress
was made.
sharp earthquake shock was felt
at San Francisco at 10:30 o'clock to-
night. 1t lasted about three seconds
and was from east to west. No dam
age has been reported.
Thousands OF poorly-clad and shell
terless people camped in the parks and
sand hills. shivered in their wet cloth
ing, and the younger and stronger de-
voted their efforts to securing any
kind OF shelter for the women and chill
dren, the aged and the weak.
Four street car lines are ready for
operation as soon as the mayor allows
the power to be turned on.
A heavy rain Sunday night and yes
terday cooled the smoking ruins and
.extinguished several small fires
The water supply is still scanty in
some parts of the city and will be until
broken mains are relaid.
The distribution of food is sys-
tematic and the supply plentiful.
Members of self-constituted vigi-
lance committee yesterday killed Mai.
II. c. Tilden. a prominent citizen, mem
Der of the citizens committee, because
he disobeyed an order TO halt his auto,
which flew a Red Cross flag, while his
challengers wore no badge of author
ity.
The wife of Judge Lucien Shaw of
the California Supreme Court, disap-
peared in San Francisco last Thursday
and cannot be found. The Ecuadorean
consul general at San Francisco is also
missing.
e. H. Hartman wires from San
Francisco that supplies for the suffer
ers must be forwarded steadily for
some time.

Congress votes Aid.

Washington-One million dollars
was appropriated by Congress Thurs
day for the relief of the sufferers in
California. The resolution making the
appropriation was signed by President
Roosevelt Immediately upon being re-
ported to him. The resolution pro-
vides: "That the secretary of the
treasury, of the navy, and the secre-
tary of commerce and labor are hereby
directed to cooperate with the secre-
tary of war in extending relief and as
sistance to the stricken people herein
referred to to the extent of the use
of the naval vessels. revenue cutters,
and other vessels, and the supplies un-
der their control on the Pacific coast"

DENVER MARKETS

Denver Union Stock Yards.-The
Supply of cattle was again light on this
market last week, and the run was also
limited at all points. Even with a
light supply eastern markets were re-
ported dull, as the demand was light
and prices are 10 to 20 cents lower for
the week. The local demand for beef
was good and steers closed 10 to 15
cents higher than week ago on this
| market. The best on sale during the
week brought s475. and bulk of the
pretty good kinds went at S4.25 and up.
Cows were active, but few offered. The
early market was higher. but later in
the week most of the advance was lost
on account of big declines at all east
ern markets. There is a very good
demand, however. for good killing
cows on this market Some fancy
stuff brought $4.35, with others at
s4.15. Bulk of the good killing cows
went at $500 to $500. however. with
common to medium at $1.75 to $3.50.
Bulls were in good demand, but few Of
fered. Prices rule steady with tops
for the week at S3.25. Veals were also
active but scarce. Tops sold at $780,
with the range down to $500 on the
better grades. Feeder and stocker
trade was again light, as there were
few here. The demand was also very
limited, as all eastern markets are re-
porting very little inquiry. Prices are
weak to a dime lower here. as well as
at all other points.
The hog supply was LIBERAL, but there
was very good demand and every
thing sold out readily. Prices note lit
tie change from week ago and tops
are still bringing $3.50 with the range
down to $500.
Sheep receipts were fair but offer
ings limited. There was good de-
mand and lambs are little higher on
account of higher markets East. Ewes
remain about the same with good
strong demand. Colorado lambs sold up
| to $7.05 at Chicago last week.

for Treating Diseased Seed
Potatoes.

WdtSI - $50 SoitSA
Dissolve the corrosive sublimate in
one gallon of hot water, then dilute
with seven gallons of water. Allow
the potatoes to soak one and one-half
hours. When dry they may be cut and
planted, though It has been found to
be good practice to treat the potatoes
a week or more before planting, since
the treatment may retard termination
If done Just before planting.
Corrosive sublimate is deadly
poison, and 1t should be used in
wooden or earthen vessels. since 1t cor
rodes metals.
Formalin .......S ounces
WdteT IL Bnhoiio
Soak the potatoes two hours In this
solution. preferably but short time
before planting.
