Colorado.

DENVER, Colo. Nov. 13.--The for
tieth annual convention Of the Ma
tional Grange, patrons OF Husbandry,
will meet here today and continue for
ten days II. y. Norris, chairman Of
the executive committee, speaking last
night OF the society and the matters
to be considered nj this convention,
said:
THE agitation for parcels post
will be one OF the important matters
taken up by the convention and the
obtaining Of federal aid for good roads
vii be another. The good results
which have attended our efforts so far
are due TO the fact that our organiza-
tion is entirely non-partisan az far as
politics are concerned, and our aim Is
to obtain the reforms needed in this
country to give the farmer all that Is
coming to him. We have nearly a mil
lion members In the grange now anc
there will be between 1000 and 1900
here TO this convention Only 100 Of
these are delegates who will have votes
but there will be other delegates who

PROTECT THE NEGROES.
Conditions of the Black Man Very Bad
in New York.

NEW YORK, Nov. 1S.-At the
twelfth annual meeting and banquet
of the Collegiate club last night, Will
lam ]. Schieffelin, chairman of the
committee for the general improve
ment of the industrial conditions of
the negroes in New York, declared the
condition Of the negro in this city was
bad and likely to become worse. He
said in part:
"In the north the tendency is to treat
the negro with political equality, but
with social severity. The recent trou-
bles in the South may be repeated
here some time. An example of the
way the negro is treated was afforded
on the Upper West Side little while
ago. In that and similar cases, where
whites and negroes quarrel, the police
hit the negro.
"The most distractful campaign ever
waged in the South has just closed in
Georgia. At least twenty of those
killed by the mobs were victims of
Hoke Smiths campaign"

American farmers have long been
discussing ways and means TO turn
their farms TO the best advantage and
It Is little surprising they have new
er turned their attention to the rais-
Ing OF goats. especially In some sec
tlons. WheH It comes to use for
the table goat meat Is not to be
sneezed at, and goat-milk cheese Is
always In demand. but n glance at the
statistics of American importations Of
goat skins will give an idea Of the
immense demand for that article Of
commerce. The increase In quantity
and value of these importations has
furnished a surprise to our customs
officials. II Is said that but one ar
tlclc OF import, pig tin, shows a
greater increase during the last ten
years than goat skins. In 1896 in
round numbers, the import Of goat
skins amounted to 46,747029 pounds,
valued at $10,3O4,395, and for the fis-
cal year 1906, to 111.079,S91 pounds
valued at $91,773,O69. It will be seen
that the amount In pounds nearly
trebled In the ten years, and the value
was more than three times as great.
In ten years, from 1896 to 1906, the
total value Of goat skins imported
tntA
imported In the form Of leather or
kid gloves. amounted to more than
s24O, 100000.
These figures are worthy Of atten-
tlon, especially from those who have
farms adapted to the raising Of goats.
The demand for goat skins increases
yearly and is likely to continue to
Increase.

The Milano has capacity OF 1000

Signor Usuelli, survivor Of the cat
astrophe to the balloon Regina Elena

Signor Crespi. The report received
In from the latter aronaut. The MI
lano had splendid weather from the
start and soon reached an altitude Of
10000 feet The balloon was travel
Ing northward over Mount Blanc, and
as 1t progressed the air grew colder
and colder. Below them the travel
ers could see nothing except an extern
sive field Of snow, broken by sharp
peaks, and dotted with frozen Alpine
lakes. The highest altitude reached
was 20,5000 feet. The rarified atmos-
phere made 1t necessary for the men
to resort To their supply Of oxygen
to keep alive. At one point of the
trip SIgnor Usuelli succumbed to the
nervous strain and burst into tears.
On the other side Of the mountain

Place Of Execution.
Until 1888 condemned convicts were exc
cuted at Tyburn. near the Marble Arch
entrance to Hyde Park, and were escorted
there from Newgate early in the morning,
usually by large crowd Of people. The
vestry of the parish Church Of st. Sepul-
cher presented each convict with a bouquet
Of flowers as he passed out of the gate.
From 1873 to 1868 executions took place
In the street in front of Newgate in the
presence of the public. After a long and
somewhat exciting agitation an act of par
lament was passed requiring condemned
persons to be hanged in private and from
1858 to 1901 they took place within the
prison. In 1901 the Old Newgate and Old
Bailey were torn down and a new building,
which is just completed, was erected upon
the site for the use of the criminal courts.
The new building Is very handsome and
quite ornate. 1t cost $1,000, 900, and has q

The Old "New Bailey"
Immediately across the street from Mr.
Welcomes offices is the New Old Bailey"
a magnificent building. which has been in
the course of construction for the last FIVE
years upon the site of Newgate prison and
the Old Bailey court. which are so familiar
to the readers of Dickens and other writers
who describe criminal life in London. New
gate has been the principal criminal prison
for 400 years, and all of the famous crimi-
nails for several centuries were tried in the
Old Bailey court Among them were Jack
Sheppard, Anna Askew, Lord George Cor
don, the Tichborne claimant and many
others equally famous. Daniel de Foe. the
author of Robinson Crusoe," was confined
in Old Newgate, and William Penn was i'm
prisoned there on three different occasions
on the charge of blasphemy and for preach
ing in the streets. From one of its cells he
sent his famous letter to parliament, ex-

stone carvings containing his portraits and
records Of his achievements. and 1t Is his
intention at the exposition to trace the de-
velopment Of medicine from his time to
the present.
He has already obtained large collections
of interesting historical material, prehis-
toric and of the middle ages, and much
OF it has ar intense interest to all stu
dents of medicine. He appeals to the
profession to assist him with advice and
information and by the contribution of
manuscripts. ancient instruments, printed
works. curiosities and other objects of
interest. He says that the success of the
undertaking will largely depend upon the
cooperation of the medical fraternity
throughout the world. He has already re-
ceived cordial encouragement from Ger:
many, France, Italy. Austria and other
European countries. from both official and
private persons. and has been assured of
the loan of valuable collections from mu-
seums medical schools and hospitals. 1t Is
not a money-making enterprise; 1t Is purely
professional and scientific movement
from which no pecuniary profit can be de-
time that the history of the medical sci
ence was ever illustrated in such a way.

the larger memorials, bears a rebuke to
them all. The inscription reads:
