But it didn't do any good. Still the
people stared at the little woman in
the gray dress. Her course to Thirty
fifth street was all misery and gloom.
1t was impossible to get away from
those looks. Her face began to take
on a hunted expression. All at once
she was overjoyed to see the face of
woman with whom she had dined in
her Fifty-eight street boarding house

At this time the earl was called to
'Pekin to arrange peace with the for
eign powers, and the syndicate, hav-
ing been unable to secure the return
of its money, made arrangements with
band of pirates that they should
waylay the earl on his trip up the
coast and take back the bullion paid
him by the syndicate, for which serv-
ice the pirates were to receive a per-
centage.
The earl however, heard of the ar
rangemenu and therefore refused to
make the trip in Chinese vessel,
knowing that the crew would be in
sympathy with the pirates, if in fact
a large number of the crew were not
made up from the pirate band; so he
remained at Canton, surrounded by

REGULAR KNOW NOTHING.
Kansas City Standard Oil Company
Manager.

Kansas City.-Francsi NJ. Cockrell
OF the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion severely reprimanded G. w.
Mayer, Kansas City manager of the
Standard Oil Company, during the in
yestigation into the alleged methods
of railroads and the Standard Oil Com
pany in discriminating against indie
pendent oil men hereabouts. The law
yers for the commission, j. T. Mare
hand and Charles Mum, and the law
yers for the Independent oil producers,
Frank S. Monett, Clifford Thorne and
S. w. Brookhart, had been trying hard
to get from Mayer an admission that
there was any connection. between the
Standard Oil Company the Union
Tank Line Company, the Republic Oil
Company, the Water-Pierce Oil Com
pany and other companies. To all
questions Mr.. Mayer answered:
Il do not know" although he had
been manager of the Standard Oil
Company for twenty-eight years. At
the close of his testimony he was repri-
manded by the commissioner.
Attorney General Hadley of Mis-
souri, was notified by an attorney for
the Standard Oil Company that the
only testimony given in the Missouri
inquiry by officers of the Standard will
be given under compulsion.
Mr.. Cockrell had asked Mayer:
"Tell this commission, are the Re-
public company and the Waters Pierce
Oil Company part of the Standard Oil
Company"
81 do not know, SIR
What is your best impression about
lt?"
81 have none"
Don't you feel and know in your
heart that they are all part and parcel
of the same company"
81 do not know"
Don't you feel in your heart it is
so?"
II don't know, sir"
Then the veteran senator slapped the
desk with his fist and said, severely:
81 am tired and sick of this effort
made by Standard Oil people to con-
ceal this fact, when every man, woman
and child knows it is so. Now every
body wants the truth told here, and
why don't you tell it? Every tub
ought to stand on its own bottom and
you folks ought not to dodge this ques-
ton further"

AND DAVE "HADWT BEEN''

Two Old farmers, neXt-door neigh
pors, named respectively Lou Hyde
and Dave Styles, live within radius
of ten miles of Ossipee, N. Fl. They
are wont to vie with one another in
telling of their wonderful luck fishing.
One hot June day Dave helped Lou
cut his hay. Next day Dave sauntered
into the village postoffice and gave an
account of his doings the day previous
in this manner:
Went fishin' yesterday. Luck?
Well, by snum. guess | did have luck!
Got forty beauties; biggest one
weighed two pounds If it did an
ounce; littlest feller quarter of a
pound, sure as God made little ap-
pies"
The audience of native wiseacres
was duly impressed. During that
same afternoon Lon Hyde drove up to

CHANCE FOR DENVER.
Bill for Federal Building Passed by
Senate

Washington.-The Senate Tuesday
passed the Teller bill appropiiating
$2,500,000 for federal building at
Denver, which was called up by Sen
ator Patterson by unanimous consent.
The chances for the passage of the bill
in the House are remote, but there is
a slight possibility of ultimate success
of the measure should there be an ON
nibu" building bill passed at this ses-
sion II Congress.
1t is stated that the purpose of the
House building committee is to report
an omnibus bill carrying not more
than an aggregate of S25,000,000 and to
include no single item of more than
100000, which would eliminate Den
yer. Should the bill pass the House
It would undoubtedly be amended in
the Senate and many buildings added
which would be omitted in the House
bill.
An opportunity would thus be given
to include Denver, which would not be
overlooked by its friends and there
would be a fighting chance to get the
amount carried in the bill which
passed Tuesday added to the omnibus
bill with a view to holding it in con-
ference and securing its retention
when final action should be reached.
While the House buildings commit
tee and postmaster general are advo-
eating Independent postoffice buildings
for cities of the class of Denver at {,
cost not to exceed 100000. this plan
is not endorsed by the supervising
architect nor by the Senate commit
tee on public buildings. who contend
that it is more economical for the gov
ernment and more convenient for the
transaction of public business to have
adequate public buildings to accom-
modate all classes of the government s
work.

YOUNG PEOPLES MOVEMENT.

There seems to be a revival and
deeping of interest i'll the welfare,
culture and development of the
young people. All of this is pro-
phetic of the substantial improve
ment of the youth of the race and
progress on the material and spirit
ual side of their requirement.
Last week the committee having
in charge the arrangement of the
Second Young Peoples Christian
and Educational Congress met in
Washington, ID. G. and set the
date of the meeting July
third to eighth. The plans of the
committee puts the work on a gil
gantic scale and promises the at
tendance of ten thousand people.
Another evidence of the inter-
est being taken in behalf of young
people is the purpose of DIR. Boyd
the Sunday School publisher of
Nashville, Tenn, to hold a great
National Baptist Sunday School
Congress sometime during the
year with view of quickening
interest among the growing and
intelligent Sunday school workers
of the race.
Both of these great conventions
are in the interest of young peo-
pie and show an increasing desire
on behalf of the great leaders to
see that the young people of our
race shall have the inspiration and
example as an object lesson set be-
fore them and these great conven-
tions serve this end most admirab-
ly.

TO PREVENT LYNCHING.
Fears That ST. John Will Be in Dan
ger at Telluride.

Denver-The News says: Governor
Mcdonald has been asked to prevent
the lynching of Vincent st. John when
he is taken to Telluride by Sheriff Ru-
tan. The governor was notified yester-
day by j. C. Williams, vice president
Of the Western Federation of Miners,
that he had learned through relatives
of st. John that conspiracy had been
formed to seize st. John as soon as he
reached Telluride and hang him. Will
liams urged the governor to prevent
the carrying out of such scheme by
the use of his full authority. Replying
to the letter, Governor Mcdonald
stated that he would see that st. John
was given full protection.
Referring to the matter afterward,
the governor said that it was his in
tention to communicate with Sheriff
Rutan and tell him the contents of Mr.
Williams letter; that personally he
had no fear of mob violence, but that
he would instruct the sheriff to use ev-
cry precaution to protect his prisoner.

PERSONAL HABITS AND MORALS.

That personal habits and morals
are closely related no one will deny
but that they are one and the same
thing no one will affirm.
Personal habits may crystalize
into character but character is an
individual and not public prop
erty. To be true a number of per-
sons of similar character in COM
munity may give the community
the appearance of a certain type
or class and thus cause the reputa-
tion or standing Of the entire loca-
lity to be affected. Indeed this
seems to be the case in Denver at
the present time. If persons of
uncertain character premoninate
then the reputation of the
whole community takes on a
certain predominant then the
reputation of the whole COM
munity takes on a certain hexibil-
ity but after all a sharp distinc-
tion ought to be made between
the habits of a people which are
purely personal and the habits
which interfear with the rights of
another. While every one would

BUTLER WANTED THE BRIEF

B. F. Buffers law office lady came
in to ask some advice. AS the gen.
eral was not in, Mr.. Carrigan ques
toned her, and told her he would
submit her case to the general, which
he did.
The general was to leave the next
day for Washington. and told Mr.
Carrigan to prepare brief of the
ladys case and show it to him the
uext day.
Mr.. Carrigan sat up half of the
night writing his brief. The next
morning, about fifteen minutes before

A great honor was conferred
upon colored man recently in
Chicago. The man was DR.. Chas.
E. Bentley. The occasion was
the meeting of the Chicago Medi
cal Society. DR.. Bentley was in
vited by the society to read a pa
per before that body on the Con
tact Points of the Medical and
Dental Profession" He made a
favorable impression and the pre-
sentation was one of the most apt
and creditable that had been pre-
sented to the society this year"
We are proud of the fact That we
have colored men in our prefes-
sions who not only aspire to the
highest but attain that point. We
are gratified that at least in Chica-
go colored men of merit are SO
recognized by reason of their
achievements. The recognition of
DIR. Bentley's ability in his profess
sion by a kindred one is indeed
one of which his profession can be
proud and the colored people
doubly.

A CLEAN ELECTION AND AN HONEST
BALLOT FOR EVERY VOTER.

This is the slogan of the politi-
cal reformer. 1t is the crying
need today in all large cities of
this country, Denver being no ex-
ception. New primary and cleo
ton laws are necessary to give le-
gality to elections and make it
possible to convict illegal voters
but what is needed more than any
thing else is new life and clean
motives within the inner circles
of political precints. Not a class
of men who contrive as to how far
they can go and evade the letter
of the law but how much they may
assist in making the law doubly
effective and secure. Elections
will never occupy a plan higher
than the level of public sentiment
in regard to election methods.
That political parties have a mis-
sion is self evident. That their
mission is to serve or suppress
some principle of vital importance
to the happiness or well being of
every citizen is also truism.
But is this true in regard to the
political parties and the colored
voters of Colorado? Heretofore
the colored voters have had no
voice in the councils of the politi-
cal parties, no part in their caucas-
es and absolutely no hand in di-
recting their policies but they
have been compelled to remain
wholly on the outside and take
whatever consideration that is Of
fered to them A people that have
no part in the councils of a party.
be the party what it may, cannot
long retain interest in the party.
1t is self evident that the political
parties of Denver are approach
ing a crisis in their career and
they will need all of the support
possible in the coming campaign.
The contest will be Republican
versus Municiple Ownership.
Where are the colored voters of
this city, nearly ten thousand
strong, to stand in this contest?
Does the Republican party expect
the Negro to line up with them in
this election? If so, on what
ground? Does the Gas, Street car
Telephone and Water interests ex-
pect the Negro to help win their
fight? If so, for what reason? :?
The Negro has not been employed
in their offices or business or
buildings. We have had no per-
sonal or political consideration at
their hands. Why then should
we be delivered soul and body in
to their camp? 1t simply cannot
be done unless there are some fair
and equitable considerations en-
tered into as class or mbers
of the body polite. There ought
to be a man on the State Central
Advisory committee and a colored
member of the County Central
committee in order to give these
parties a right conception of the
needs and feelings of thousands
of colored voters, otherwise the
party may expect DETECTION from
the ranks.
But the real reform in this mat.
ter ought to begin with the colored
voters themselves. They should
recognize their position and rela-
ton to the powers that be and
make such demands as their
strength warrants. Let them
once become aroused to the sense
of their duty and this matter
will receive attention, as the party
needs our support as bad as we
