HOWARD'S NEW PRESIDENT

HOWARD'S NEW PRESIDENT.
Rev. w. P. Thirkield, president of
Howard University is daily gaining in
popularity among the people of the
United States who are interested in this
institution. Rev ThirkieId is a Chris
ton gentleman who is interested in the
university and the colored youth He
seems to be working in harmony with
his faculty and others who are directly
connected with the university.
The colored people of the United
States who have declared that they
were opposed to DR.. Gordon and would
contribute to the institution if the prop
er man was made president, have an
opportunity of showing their gratitude
by contributing to the University now
there IS no better man connected with
any institution in the United States than
the present president of Toward Uni
verSity. DR.. Thirkield He is doing all
III his power to build up a great insti-
tuition for the colored youth. There
are over eleven millions Of colored
Americans in the United States. Manv
of them have money and can we'll afford
to support such an institution as How
ard University. Many of them have
declared against industrial education
and advocated higher education for the
colored youth. Why don't the advocates
of higher education show that they mean
what they say. 1t Is believed that the
university within few years will lead
ali other institutions Of is kind. The

Flora H[oIf, C0I0rcd, Says She IS Lac

FL Paso, Tex. Jan. IO.-It is announc-
ed that Flora Wolff, the colored woman
who calls herself Lady BeresfOrd" and
asserts that she is the lawful widow Of
S. Delevel Beresford, brother OF Lord
Charles Beresford, will sue for her wild
ow's rights in the million dollar estate.
Beresford was a rancher and was
killed in a recent wreck on the 500
Railroad. Lord Charles Beresford is
named as executor in the will, which
devises $4,000 to Flora Wolff, who has
this to say about her suit:
by the laws Of Mexico | am recog-
nized as Beresford's widow and I mean
to have the estate. | have lived with
him for twenty-five years and was always
recognized as his wife. He told the
merchants in FL Paso recognized me as
Lady Beresford, and | can bring hum
dreds OF witnesses to prove ii.
"Beresford met me in Chihuahua,
Mexico, twenty-five years ago, when l
was working in the family of the Unit
ed States Consul and he fell in love
with me. We lived together until his
death. Beresford often promised legal
marriage but said it was not necessary,
as every one recognized us as man and
wife. He told me that he had made
will leaving everything 10 me and l be-
lieve there IS a later will than the one
found leaving me only $4,000. '-Phila.

Find Cause of tuberculosis.

Atlantic City, N. 1.-THE convention
of the Anti-Tuberculosis League
sounded an emphatic warning against
what is characterized as the greatest
peril of to-day-raw milk Nathan
Strauss of New York was to have
been present, but sent in his place DR..
Arthur Green, who read paper.
Citing the demonstration of DR..
Schroeder and the findings of the Brit
ish Royal Commission on tuberculosis,
DR.. Green said:
"In the face of these irrefutable con-
clusions of science it is criminal folly
to rest in the ignorance of the past
and to minimize the danger of raw
milk. 1t is not easy to get the public
to do something. This is the tendency
made by men who are ignorant of
of the unfortunate misstatements
these demonstrations. Their careless
brushing aside of the milk peril is cal
culated to lull the people into a sense
of security where there is no safety.
Regard for human life demands that
the proved facts of the peril of tuber-
culosis in the milk be admitted and
declared, not denied
Then the remedy will come in the
pasteurization of the milk supplies
where there is no positive proof of the
origin of the milk from healthy cattle
and of its protection from infection" !"

COAL DEALER RUNS AMuck
Beats Court Judge With Seal But Has
His "Form Pied" When He
Encounters Old Pressmen.

Breckenridge, Colo-County Judge
]. w. Swisher was the victim of a vic
ious assault in his chamber by
Thomas b. Thompson, distributor for
the Rocky Mountain Fuel Company,
who used the official seal of the court
to beat the judge over the head. He
struck him repeatedly with the wea-
pom, and Judge Swisher, besides Sc
we're bruises, has cash over the left
temple that bled so profusely as TO
cover the floor with blood.
After disabling the Judge Thompson
locked horns with white haired Col
onel j. X. Oliver, who many years ago
was a pressman in Denver when the
papers came out on hand presses. In
those days Oliver was called the
strongest man in the territory and was
nicknamed Sampson" Thompson is
very burly and active man in the
prime of life, but he was glad to have
someone hold him after Oliver seized
him.
Thompson rushed to the police Judge
and pleaded guilty to assault and bat
terry, possibly thinking to get off cas-
lily, but was fined $100 and costs. He
paid the fine and then wanted to ap-
peal the case, but was told there was
no appeal when the defendant volun-
tairly pleaded guilty to a charge made
by himself. He then sworo out war
rant for Judge Swisher, Colonel Oliver,
Sam Swisher and A. l.. Wood, who was
not present at the fracas, charging
them with insulting him. Owing to
the absence of District Judge Hogan,
the police judge ordered the case set
for hearing June 10th.
A warrant has been sworn out by
Judge Swishcr charging Thompson
with assaulting him with a deadly
weapon and Thompson has been
placed under a bond of $500 for his
appearance.
The disturbance arose over a column
article in the Breckenridge Bulletin,
owned by Swisher, which excoriated
the local coal dealers, who are T. B.
Thompson and c. A. Finding. Finding
Is the man who for weeks lodged H.
G. Clay whose wife he was charged
with leading astray. He had Denver
detectives protecting him, as Clav was
supposed to be hunting him with a
gun.
For many weeks the coal trust here
has had no coal to supply customers,
even at the exorbitant rate of Sc rs
and 81 ton. Coal was formerly $3.50
ton here in car lots, and the Bulletin
has written up the trust every chance
it has had for its predatory methods
of business.

THE REWARD OF PATIENCE.
High Line Ditch to Finally to Be
Improved

Denver.-After more than a quarter
OF century the and owners who
pinned their faith to the High Line
ditch for water supply are to be re-
warded, and within year, instead of
receiving a full supply of water for
two months and scant supply during
the rest of the year, they will have an
absolute supply the year round
Fifteen years ago Bradford Du Bois
and G. G. Richardson, tramped through
the mountains along the Platte river
and tributaries, locating a reservoir
site on Goose creek, just above the
great Cheesman dam, and another site
known as the Antero site, thirty-five
miles north of the Cheesman dam. AL
most Immediately thereafter Mr..
Richardson, who was the controlling
owner in the ditch enterprise, died.
his estate was taken into the courts
where it still is, incidentally-and the
entire enterprise received what was
for sometime thought to be death
blow.
1t had no sooner been started on
the road to recovery when the panic
of 1898 nearly finished it; since that
time 1t has been struggling along, be-
hind it few faithful ones who refused
to give up.
Among these faithful ones, none
worked harder for final success than
Bradford Dubois, and it was he that
gave out the information yesterday
that enough money had been subscribed
10 insure the building of the two reser-
voirs, sites for which he and Mr.. Rich
ardson located so many years ago
Mr.. Dubois said: THE High Line
ditch enterprise is now being rejuven-
ated- in fact, 1t is rejuvenated, and
the work of building our two reservoirs
will be started very soon and carried
to an early completion There are 450
users. owning $4,000 acres; we will
now be in posistion to take on 5000
more acres. and will do it at $50 an
acre; and 1t will not cost present pa
irons more than S. an acre for addi-
tional rights-perhaps it will not cost
more than $500.
Our Antero reservoir will have a
capacity of 5,00O,000,0 900 cubic feet of
water and our Goose Creek Creek
reservoir will have a capacity of L.
500 10000 cubic feet
Our reservoir rights have presce-
dence over the Cheesman dam water
rights. The High Line ditch is east
of the city; 1t was begun in 1877 and
completed in 1879.
with the completion of our new
reservoir we will have practically un-
limited water supply, and where our
present users are getting all the water
they want for only two months Of the
year, they will have all the water they
want twelve months in the year. We
will have one of the best water propo-
sitions in the state-and the most val
liable"

Weather Kills Many.

Chicago.-The weather has been the
undertakers' greatest friend for the
first five months of the present year,
according to the statement of mortality
for that period. issued by w. A. Evans,
M. D., commissioner of health for Chi
cago.
People have been dying In Chicago
during the period named at the alarm
ing average Of about los day.
AZ told. there were 15.103 deaths re-
ported to the bureau of vital statistics.
This means an annual mortality rate
of 1872 thousand of the estimated
population. This is one-sixth, or 1877
per cent, higher than the rate for the
corresponding period of last year. and
1874 per cent. higher than the average
of the previous decade.
