MAY RETRIEVE FORTUNE.

The story Of the late United States
Senator Tabor of Colorado is so well
known that it is needless TO recount
it at this time, but how rs widow has
Jared and what are her future pros
poets will prove of interest. Hence,
we reproduce in these columns a Lead
vile dispatch to the Denver Rocky
Mountain News:
"Mrs. H. A. w. Tabor is in a fair
way to retrieve the fallen fortunes Of
her family. At present she is living
n a small cabin on Flyer hill with ner
two children. The humble nome is
located on the Matchless claim, the
famous mine which made Senator Ia
boris millions in the early days. The
property is now m er lease, and for
the first time since Tabor lost it is pro-
ducing large amourts of high grade
ore from a new vi n. which has re
Gently been opened and which promises
to develop a bonar a. The royalties
will in q short time ray off all the in
~debtedness. The property was sold
some years ago to r Y off a Judgment
against the Tabor estate. Mrs. Tabor
appealed to w. S. ST attdl to save the
property for herself and children. The
generous Cripple Creek mine er
agreed to advance the money. Other
creditors, however. appeared and ona
of them, Herman Powell OF Denver,
believing that the Matchless property
was valuable, asserted his right as a
creditor and paid off he Stratton judg-
ment. AS no further good angels APP
peared to settle the indebtedness,
Powell obtained an absolute deed TO
the property He agreed, however, TO
sell the property back for 100000. Mrs.
Tabor, on the strength of this, enls'ed
the cooperation of her sister, Mrs.
Claudia McCabe of Chicago. Part CT
the purchase price was raised and paid
over to Powell, and the women were
given the right to lease the ground and
apply the royalties to paying off
further indebte dness. Later further
sums of money were borrowed, and as
the mine failed to give any returns
Mrs. Tabor's hopes were at a low ebb.
Some months ago she leased the ground
to a party of miners and active opera
tons were begun. In the last month
a rich vein of high grade silver ore

THE PRESIDENT and RACE SUICIDE

with natural laws will most contribute
to the health and strength of the race.
The edict of nature, no less than the
divine command, is that man shall null

undue and extraordinary interference
with this edict can be made withou'
injurious results in the long run to tn
physical well being of man. But ne

lilies to small in all conditions Of life,
and refers to eBniamin Franklin as
an authority on conditions which are
altogether different from those he
knew. The workers in charity today
have some knowledge of the physical
and moral stamina and the value to
the state of large families reared now
adays under the stress of our unequal
civiliztion. If there e one evil thai
they constantly encounter, it is that
of a family of children going dow
to lower levels ecause of the inabilitv
of their parents to bring them up de-
Gently. The question whether a man
and woman can maintain two or
three children in comfort and bring
them up creditably should be fulfilling
the claws of nature by producing
seven or eight more, with the result
of increasing poverty and ultimate
pauperism, is not so easy to dispose
of. --Springfield (Mass.) Republican.

Denver was honored this week with a
visit from Prof. w. w. Fisher of Topeka,
Kansas. Prof. Fisher is Field agent for
the Jamestown Exposition, Negro Ex-
hibit for Colorado, Kansas, Missouri and
Nebraska and was here in that particu-
lar interest. He is highly cultured
gentleman and his selection for this re-
sponsible duty has proven to be wise
one as he has created much interest and
enthusiasm for the display of exhibits.
Mr. Fisher is one of the most prominent
Negroes of the Sunflower State and
holds the position as Statistical Clerk OF
the Board of Control of his state which
carries salary of $1,000 per year. He,
in company with j. w. jackson, visited
the mines of the Gold Chest Mining
company at Sunset, Colo, Thursday.
Speaking of Denver and its people, he
expressed himself in the most fiattering
terms and regretted very much that his
time here was limited.

DESCRIBES wARsHIP OF FUTURE.
English Naval Expert Says Steam
Boiler and Tunnels Must Co.

London.-The battleship of the fs-
ture is to be a strangely weird looking
craft, if the designs which have been
worked out prove practicable. The in
sttution of naval architects recently
held a conference in London, and one.
of the most important papers was one
which dealt with The Influence of
Machinery on the Gun Power OF the
Modern Warship''
This showed that If large number
of guns are to be effectively mounted
they must all he placed so as to fire
on either broadeide. In the Dread
nought, out of ten 12-inch guns only
eight fire on either broadside To eD-
able all ten to fire with the utmost Ell
feet 1t was shown the the tunnels must
be abolished and also all deck cree
tions. But If tunnels are to be elimiD-
ated steam can no longer be used and
the boiler must go.
The great firm of Viekers has faced
this fact, and after three years of al
most continuous research work has
perfected system Of gas machinery
for propelling ship
An explosive engine, in a word, Is
to displace the steam engine. The de
sign for such a vessel has been WORK
ed out. She has no. tunnels and ,is
thus an extraordinary looking craft
Her speed win be higher than that
of any existing battle ship. Her d.
mensions are moderate, but she car
ries batteries more powerful than even
the Dreadnought, since all of its ten
guns can fire on either beam, and
six ahead or astern. This is to be the
ship of the future.

Boquets Now.

This world is very, very strange,
And the people are strange too;
And every day we are spared to live,
We will learn something new.
'Tis not often when in trouble
That we hear kind words said,
But we get many roses of sympathy.
After we are dead.
We will have friends who will
Always have word of praise
For us when we are on top.
And enjoying prosperous days.
But when the clouds of affliction,
Come and hover DER our head,
They will bring the bouquets,
After we are dead.
Our paths through life are not full
OF roses; we must have our thorns;
And kind words often spoken are
Like sun-rays through life's storms.
So if you have any boquets for me,
Before my last word is said,
Just bring them while l am living;
I'll not need them when I'm dead.
