JEWS BARRED FROM HO-
TELS WILL FIGHT.

Atlantic City, N. J., May 49,
Suits are threatened against hotel
keepers here because of their hos
tility to Jews as guests. Men
of Jewish descent, prominent in
professional and business life all
over the country, when writing
for accommodations receive a
printed card reading:
"The patronage of Jews is not
solicited"
Mrs. Bertha Rayner Frank OF
Baltimore, a sister of United
States Senator ISidor Rayner OF
Maryland, who was a guest az
the Marlborough-Bl enheim, de-
parted suddenly because she
learned Jews were not desired as
guests at the hotel.
Mrs. Frank is the widow of the
late Dr.. Samuel Leon Frank in
whose memory she gave last yea,
the large fortune left by him to
a number of nonsectarian philan-
thropic and educational institr-
tons. She is a member of every
nonsectarian charity in Baltimore.
81 resent this insult to many
estimable people of Jewish faith
who are affronted by the stand
taken by the proprietors of a
number of the principal hotels in
this resort" said Mrs. Frank.
"a few days later / asked ac-
commodations for my two nieces.
Il was asked, Are your friends
Jews?' l replied, Yes, Why?'
and was told, We don't entertain
Jews
Il was so annoyed at this in
suit TO Jews at large, never hav-
ing heard directly of such a thing
happening to self-respecting Jews
of good position. I Immediately
ordered my trunks packed and
left the hotel.
Before doing this I sent for
the hotel clerk and told him why
/ was leaving. He told me he
was instructed by the proprietors
to refuse to give rooms to Jews.
The policy of the house. he said.
IS opposed to Jews"
Notwithstanding the fact that
frst-class Jews are driven out of
the leading hotels in Atlantic City,
N. J., simply on account of their
race, there is strong feeling
among the most prominent Jews
throughout the country that it is
their highest duty to join hands
with the so-called pure white
Americans in their damnable eff
fort, at any cost, to keep the Ne
gro down on the same level with
the beast, and several of this
same class of Jews, in our pres
ence, have contended that "a mis-
take had been made in giving the
Negro his freedom" and that the
Negro was 'better off as a slave"
1t is beyond our understanding
how any one connected with the
Jewish race can entertain such
ideas, for members of that race
have been slain by the thou
sands in every country under the
sun, and have suffered untold
horrors on account of their race
and their religion, and unless
they refrain from assisting the
American people to strew the
pathway of the Negro with thorns
and thistles. 1t may not be very
long until they will be forced to
90 to fighting in order to COM
bat the prejudice which is being
rolled up against the Jewish peo-
pie 6n certain sections of this
country-Editor.

TO RING UP NEW YORK.
In Few Weeks Denver May Talk TO
New York Over Phone.

Within a few weeks by the comn1et
ing of the long distance telephone
line now being built between Emporia
Kansas and Pueblo. Colorado, resi-
dents of Denver will be enabled 10
call their friends in New York and
Boston to the telephone and carry ON
conversation with them over a tele
phone circuit more than 1900 miles
in length, as easily as they can. now
talk with people in Colorado Springs
only eighty miles away.
The completion of this new line
marks an epoch in telephone construc-
ton, since it supplies the last remain
ing link in the chain of telephone con
nections between the West and the ex
treme East.
The eastern lines have pushed as
far west as Emporia, Kansas, and
when the Colorado Telephone Com
pany extended its lines to Pueblo.
Colorado, it left only a gap of 500
miles to be filled out in order to
reach Denver and to complete the
longest telephone circuit in the world.
Now two gangs of men. working at
both ends, the first building at the
rate of three miles day, the second
at a rate of two miles day, have
reached positions just north of Lakin,
Kansas, and a few miles east of La
Junta, Colorado, with little more
than 100 miles between them Most
of the serious obstacles have been
passed, so tfat from now on progress
will be rapiu and before July 1st, the
two gangs will meet near the state
line.
A part of the pole line-about $50
miles of the portion Immediately west
of Emporia-has already been strung
with a pair of bright copper wires,
and after the last pole has been set
only few weeks will be required in
which to cover the remaining portion
of the line with wires, so that by Aug
uat 1st, at the latest, through tele-
phonic connection will be provided by
means of a pair of copper wires be-
tween Denver and any of the Eastern
cities.
The poles are all of the best north
ern cedar, sound and straight, with a
minimum height of twenty five feet,
and carry creosoted crossarms having
an ultimate capacity of ten wires.
When the poles are placed, space is
provided for an additional crossarm
so that the capacity of the line may be
doubled at any time in the future with
the least possible expense and trouble.

Denver Mint Being Investigated.

Washington. = According to the
rough draft of the report made by the
commission appointed by the President
to investigate the Denver mint, con.
dition has been found which may re.
suit in the removal of one or more
prominent heads from the Colorado in.
stitution. The coinage department,
which is under the direction of Harry
Tarbell, is said to have shown lack
of thoroughness. and several times
coins have been found to be much
heavier or lighter than the law pre-
scribes.
On whose shoulders the blame will
finally rest remains to be seen, but It
is reported that the coinage depart
ment is responsible for these discrep-
ancies and that removals will be made
soon.
Director of the Mint Roberts refuses
to discuss the report until after the
secretary of the treasury has been seen
and is ready to make his recommenda-
tions.
The Denver mint has been investi-
gated thoroughly in all its branches.
While, technically, only one issue of
coins was found to be off in weight, the
commission did not stop its inquiry
with this one issue. but has looked into
every department.

Unknown Man Killed.

Denver.-In fight that seemingly
started over some trivial matter, but
in which, in all probability, woman is
involved, Fremont Driemus, Mexi-
can, aged twenty-one, shot and killed
an unknown man of the same national
ity.
The shooting occurred in the alley
between Twenty-first and Twenty-sec.
ond, Blake and Wazee streets.
A few minutes before it happened
the two men were seen walking up the
street together. They turned into the
alley, and few minutes later atten-
ton was called to them by their loud
talking.
From the statement Of witnesses. Il
is learned that the unknown man
threw Driemus to the ground, and
while he had him in PROSTATE posi-.
ton, drew his revolver and attempted
to shoot him. Driemus, however
wrested the weapon from him and
using 1t in his own defense, shot hrs
assailant through the heart.

HANokERcHIEF NOVELTIES.
Novel Designs ComrIementine the
Seasons Dress Fabrics.

The subject of handkerchiefs is an
unusually interesting one this season.
Here, as in every other accessory of
woman's costuming, novelty presents
itself in the most fascinating guises.
1t is the colored handkerchief.
strange as it may seem, which claims
first place; and this too, with the
smartest dressers. The old prejudice
against the handkerchief carrying
even the slightest suggestion of color
has been entirely forgotten, and by
those, too, whose exclusive tastes per-
mitted in the old days the selection
of only the neatest hemstitched and
most unobstrusive embroidered pure
white affairs.
These new affairs are absolutely ir-
resistible in their dainty colorings and
designs The linen is of the finest,
and the designs the most artistic The
Japanese tendency which dominates
the costume world is traceable in
many of the best designs.
The majority of these handkerchief
novelties have a narrow colored hem
in pink, blue, green or yellow, in the
palest tint. Some show border eff
fects in conventionized flower de-
signs, the flower centers a bit of deli
cate hand embroidery executed in
finest cotton or linen threads. Clus-
ters of tiny diamonds, polka-dots and
squares in one or two colors alternate
inside of the colored hem, with en-
broidery dots usually in white, though
sometimes in color. Then there are
the plaid handkerchiefs, with and
without plain-colored hem These
are more often in two-tone effects and
show bit of fine handwork in a cor
ner design in the form of tiny flower
spray in the place of the initial.
Initial handkerchiefs, by the way,
are still good style. but they come
only in the plain whites, and not in
novelty colored affairs.
Some very pretty patterns show the
colored printings in corner and border
designs, embroidered over with tiny
dots, and naturally the more en-
broidery these handkerchiefs carry
the higher they are marked in price.
Another novelty shown among the
most exclusive patterns has the dainti-
est finish imaginable in the form of
very narrow lace edge, handmade
lace, by the way. These, of course,
are more or less expensive, but the
clever and ingenious girl may buy
the plain handkerchiefs and set on the
lace herself with very gratifying re-
suits, both as to effect and price.
Polka-dots are well represented,
doubtless because of the prominence
given this design in dress fabrics this
season.
Checks also are not without favor,
so the summer girl will find little diff
ficulty in matching her dainty frocks
with handkerchiefs, complementing
them in both color and design.

Another Sugar Factory.

Pueblo, Colo.-Plans have been
drawn for a new sugar factory at WE
ley, Colo, ten miles north of Lamar,
which will cost 81 ,000,00 and will have
a capacity of 700 tons. Work on the
plant will be started next fall and the
factory will be completed in time to
handle the crop of 1908. There are at
present 10000 acres planted in beets
in the Arkansas valley and the FIVE fac
tories now in operation are unable to
take proper care of the immense crop.
During the past season the five fac
tories were unable to handle the crop
within six months, and as conse-
quence a great part of the sugar was
lost from the beets, which had dried
out while waiting to be treated. The
waste caused by this delay makes it
necessary that other factories be built,
and the new plant to be erected at
Wiley is a start in that direction. The
beet tonnage of the valley last year
was 100000, but as fast as other facto-
ries are built the acreage is increased,
and the business men who make regl.-
lar trips to the valley declare that fac
tories can not be built fast enough for
several years to come.

ONCE THE PATH WAS SMOOTH
Discard That Old Adage About the
Course of True Love.

A remarkable wedding has lately
taken place at Naples, remarkable be-
cause of the extreme youth and alert
ness of the happy couple. When Ce-
1estino Giordano. aged Is, with Gicelia
Nappi. his chosen bride, went to the
registry office to be married, the com
missioner was very loath to perform
the ceremony, for the pair had not
reached the age limit prescribed by
the civil code. The young folks had
evidently expected to have to over
come difficulties to their union, for
while the commissioner was hesitat-
Ing as to what he should do, they
sprang a surprise on him and settled
the matter by producing a royal de-
cree of dispensation, which they had
obtained direct from the king. This
being proved genuine the children

Dustinq.

In dust there turks the deadly
bacillus, and the woman who wraps
her head in a handkerchief or cap,
arms herself with a feather duster,
and proceeds TO whisk it airily over
ornaments and pictures is not only
doing an unreasonable thing, but is
actually doing harm.
Here is a recipe for hygienic dust
Ing: When you go to dust a room
have three busters. One must be
damp, a chamois leather is preferable.
Pass the damp duster over the fur
piture, when the dust will cling to it,
and not float in the air.
Make a beautiful polish with the
two dry busters; the damp duster can
be rinsed out of water and wrung
tightly as often as you please.

not hesitate to say that in my judg-
ment. a large percentage of disease is
caused by poorly selected and improp-

perience with the fully-cooked food,

speak freely of its merits.

HOUSEHOLD HINTS.

To prevent white fabrics, such as
tuile or silk evening gowns, lace or
crepe shawls. becoming yellow when
packed away sprinkle bits of white
wsx freely among the folds.
Macaroni or rice. if placed in a col
ander after cooking and rinsed with
cold water, will not stick together in
a solid mass, as it is otherwise in
clfned to do. The rice can be put into
the oven for moment afterward to
reheat.
Wallpaper which is not stained in
any way, but simply soiled by dust or
smoke, can be cleaned by the simple
means of oatmeal This should be ap-
piled with a piece of flannel, the whole
surface of the wall being gone over
by degrees.
In case of tiled floor, little lin
seed oil rubbed in, and the tiles sub
sequently polished, brings up the col
ors wonderfully.

Woman's Bad Workmanship.

Rawlins, Wyo-The old adage that
the average woman can neither shoot
straight nor throw a stone with any de.
gree of accuracy was more than dem.
onstrated this morning when Mrs. j
NJ. Ringwood shot two innocent by
ISLANDERS in trying to save her husband
from a beating.
One of the bystanders, Webb Stone
received bullet in the left breast and
died within an hour, while the other
was shot in the thigh and seriously
wounded. Mrs. Ringwood her husband
and the latter's partner, Harkins, with
whom he was fighting, are in jail.
Ringwood and Harkins, who own
and operate the Bank Exchange restau,
rant and saloon, became involved in a
quarrel over charges of cheating made
by Ringwood. Daniel Harkins re-
sented the accusation and the two
agreed to fight it out.
The men were fighting when Mrs.
Ringwood appeared. Believing her
husband was getting the worst of 1t
and thinking he was about to be killed
by Harkins, she seized .3S-caliber re-
volver from a shelf and began firing
at Harkins.
All of the bullets went wild, one en-
tering the left lung of Webb Stone near
the heart, and another lodging in the
thigh of James Davis, a-waiter in the
restaurant. Stone was seated at ta-
BILE waiting to be served by Davis when
he was shot. He and Davis were
watching the fight, but did not offer
to mix in it.
Mrs. Ringwood became hysterical
while being taken to the Jail and
screamed all the way.
