BURGLAR USED ETHER
 BUT VICTIM AWOKE
Midnight Intruder Made His Getaway Before Intended
 Victim Could Give Alarm

TUCSON, Dec. IA. Especial. .)-- E. J. Whistler, the stenographer in the Bicknell offices, popular musician and playwright of this city, mad a narrow escape a couple of nights ago from being the principal in a near tragedy that stil sets his hair to stand ing on end, when he allows his mind to dwell on 1t.
 Mir Whistler lives on the corner of Fourth avenue and Twelfth street, this city, and has had the habit com mon to so many Tucsonans, of sleep ing outdoors. Likewise he has q large bull dog, which occasionally takes an all night siesta underneath his coucn.
 Mr Whistler came to consciousness some time during the night with a feeling that there was some other presence in his immediate neighbor- hood. He raised up his head and or dered the dog, when he saw the head and shoulders of a man appear in sight at the head of the cot. The intruder got away hurriedly through the fact that Whistler was too surprised to move, and that he was not loaded for bear of that description.
 But the strange and startling fea- ture of the episode was noticed 0. few minutes later On being thor oughly aroused, MT Wnisler began ru make an investigation, with which he had not proceeded very far, when ne discerned the odor of ether. It grew stronger and stronger until he founu that his face and pillow had been sat urated with it. The evident conclu- sion is that some thief was endeavor- ing to get him unconscious before rob ping the house

DEVELOPMENT WORK PUSHED ON THE ETA
Cyanide Plant Will Be Finish ed by the First of. Next
 March.

PRESCOTT, Dec. 14-Development of the Etta mine and the installation of the mill at the mine is progressing satisfactorily to the management of the Bockariz Mining company, which recently purchased the Etta mine and mill H. H. Keays. general manager, who returned to the mine yesterday, speaking of his operations, said that all machinery of the Etta mile for merly located on the Verde River, six miles below the mine, has been deliv- cred at the new mill site at the mine, as we'll as new machinery recent, purchased. The machinery is being placed as fast as possible and the ex- pectations are that the mill will be ready for operation by February |. A cyanide plant, including the Altering process will be finished by March 1, provided construction is not delayed by winter storms or other causes. The entire plant will comprise amalgamat- ing. concentrating and cyaniding methods of treatment, which has been proven by actual tests adopted to the economic treatment of the Etta ores.
 New camp houses are under con struction for the accommodation of a larger force of miners and a new road connecting the camp with the Verde valley and Cherry Creek road is almost finished.
 Sinking has been resumed. The shaft will be pushed to the 200 foot level and the ledge will be opened by drifts from that point This will de yelOp the ledge to a depth of 100 feet below the present level of the deepest workings. Investigation shows some of the richest ore ever found in the mine was from the deepest workings and it is anticipated that ore of high grade will be exposed in the levels from the 200 foot station.
 The company was recently organiz- ed in New York, where its largest shareholders reside. The directors are Albert V. Curran, who is president; H. H. Keays, vice president and gen eral manageI; Cornelius O'Connor, treasurer; Howard R. Fickieson, sec retary, and R J. Lynch, auditor.
 General Manager Keays and Treas urer Cornelius O'Connor are in active charge of operations on the ground They made a payment on the con tract price of installing the mill and machinery to Elliott and Orescher here yesterday.
 The Etta mine is. one of the oldest

locations in the Verde district. It is located on the eastern slope of the Black Hills, eighteen miles south of Jerome. It has been worked from time to time many years under the lease system and has a record of gold production of $200,O0O, although it has not been opened but 200 feet deep from the apex of the ledge on the summit of the mountain.

RACE DIVIDED

"That the Negro is divided and
will not come together is evident"
says the True Reformer. "And
just why this condition continues
to obtain among us, is almost un-
explainable, for it certainly must
be clear TO every sane man that in
union there is strength, and in
disunion weakness. 1t may not
be, but it occurs to US that this
condition is due entirely to SO
many of our people wanting to be
leaders. Unfortunately for the
race, every other man you meet
wants to be Leader, and many of
these would-be leaders are jealous
of the real leaders, consequently
the would be leader occupies much
of his time abusing our best men
and women and does everything
within his power to weaken and
discredit every effort put forward
for the race by the real leaders of
the race.
1--WE think that such foolishness
should be done away with; and
common end being determined
upon, every one should do his best
to bring about its consumation.
This is an end to which we all
should kevotely pray"

KNIGHTS OF PYTH|AS
Purchase Forty-Reom Building in
Hot Springs to be Used as
Sanitarium.

Hot Springs, Ark, March s.
The temple and sanitarium commits
sion of the Supreme Lodge,
Knights of Pythias of n. A. S. A.
E. A. A. and A. has been in ses-
sion here this week.
The purpose of the meeting was
the purchase of building or site
for the National Pythian santa
rum for the establishment of
which the funds have already been
raised.
The commission went into session
onsghursday, at which time many
prominent citizens of Hot Springs,
including the present mayor and
two ex-mayors came before it and
bade them welcome to the city. The
commission was assured that in
their efforts to establish santa
rum for their own people they
would have the support of all citi-
zens, regardless of color.
The local committee had secured
options on number of properties,
each of which was visited and in
spected by the committee. In exec
utive session on Friday afternoon
the commission decided to pur-
chase either the Capitol hotel and
bath house or the French flats,
which is a pressed brick building
of forty rooms. A subcommittee,
consisting of C.. d. Criswell, of
Georgia; A. w. Lloyd, of Missouri !;
J. NJ. Lakewood, of West Vir-
ginia; j. w. Slaughter, of Missis-
sippi, and E. D. Green, of Illinois,
remains here to close the transac-
tion.
The commission was royalty en-
tertained by the local committee,
headed by DR.. G. M. Wade, to
whose efforts the establishment of
the sanitarium is due.
In this movement, as in others,
the great Pythian order has taken
an advance step in race work. 1t
will make it possible for Pythians
and future generations to have the
opportunity to take advantage Of
the wonderful healing waters pro-
vided by Nature.

Why is it that the Jews in our
own midst are respected and are so
prosperous? Because they are true
to their race; they are proud that
they are Jews. They believe that
they are God s chosen people. They
believe in Jewish traits, and stick
to their religion and traditions, and
believe it is the world. They stand
by them and strive to develop
them.
Let us emulate their example !;
let us get what is best from other
races, but don t try to be them, but
be colored people, and proud of
ourselves.
What made Paul Lawrence Dun
bar great as a poet? 1t was because
he brought out his greatness in a
race characteristic way. He devel-
oped his poetic genius through the

his name among the great poets of
all ages. He was one of the i'm
mortal few who was not born to
die.

suit; he is less brilliant, less healthy

and action. lie has become veri-
table imitator. 1t is second nature
with him now; he could no more
stop it than he could stop breath
ing.
We have in mind numbers of our
women, who are even more guilty
of doing these very things, who not
only use the things mentioned, but
even use hot curling tongs. Do not
these things show they are trying
to get away from the race, and
get into the other? Why not be
content with what God has given
them? Why can they not see that
the best within them is neglected ?
Does it not occur to them that they
can only bring out and beautify
that which is their own?
They are not only guilty of the
things just mentioned, but they try
to walk and talk like them. We are
sometimes struck when we see some
of our people who have been
around the whites in their homes,
come out trying to talk just as they
talk, instead of talking in their own
natural way. We do not mean that
they should not initiate them in
that which is good and uplifting,
for that would be beneficial and
helpful For all races, to some ex-
tent, initiate one another and Gull
that which is best from the other.
For instance, the Japs studied
the American way and took what
was best in their civilization, and
engrafted it upon their own. They
studied the American navy, and
improved theirs in their own Jap
anese way. And what was the Sc
quence? We find this little people
humiliating the great Russian en-
pire, one of the great powers of the
world. We find them admired and
respected and honored throughout
the civilized world. Who does not
honor the Japs? Why? Because,
while they picked what was best in
other races, they stood true to Ja-
pan.
Even Indians are admired, be-
cause they will be Indians and are
proud of themselves. They are true
to their racial characteristics. And
the whites respect them today more
than they do a Negro, although
they are savages.
The Colorado statesman., 1908-03-21

Has it ever occurred to you, says
the Lexington (Ky.) Dispatch, that
the newspapers of the country owe
something to the colored race other
than recording day after day the
crimes that Negroes commit What
newspaper within your range of
reading gives any space to the col
ored race to promote the best in
terests of these peopleq You can
not name one. We hold them up
to ridicule; we show, humorously,
their dense ignorance and quaint
views to make white folks laugh,
and we tell with unfailing regular
ity of the worst they are guilty of,
not forgetting to say ''big, black
brute" and narrate how he was
lynched Now all Negroes are not
bad. There is many a good man
among them. 1t is rare that we no.
tice him. We owe it to him to no.
tice him, tell of the good work he
does, not only to encourage him,
but to encourage others of his peo-
pie. The newspapers of the South
have not given the Negro a square
deal. Possessed of all the preju-
dices incident to white life in the
South, we nevertheless submit that
we as newspapers treat the colored
man badly and we ought to do bet
ter than we have done. By doing
so we will contribute to our own
welfare.

Every race has its own charac-
teristics and peculiarities. They
are mental as well as physical.
The most casual observer readily
reveals to us that races differ IN
complexion, texture Of hair, in size
and sect. One race white, one
brown. one yellow and one dark.
The hair of some is straight, soft
and flowing, another, stiff and
coarse, and another short and
crisp.
If we observe more closely, and
come into closer contact, we note
they differ in habits, manners and
customs and modes of thinking.
Why is this, and for what purpose
The answer must be because God,
the Almighty Creator, made and
ordained them so, and hence for
the best. They serve His great pur-
pose. Holy Writ tells us that He
created each after His kind.
1t is plain, then, that this is a
universal law stamped upon the
very face of our being, and is de-
signed by the Creator for the ac-
complishment of some great end.
Since this is true, each race can
contribute most to the world by
developing its peculiar character
istics to their fullest extent In
doing this they are serving the pur-
pose of their creation, and can con-
tribute the greatest possible good
to the world s civilization.
A race shouldNstudy its own pc
culiar qualities and instincts and
set about with the utmost care to
cultivate them and bring them up
to their highest possible efficiency
In doing this it has not only its
own aid, but the aid of its Maker,
who created and ordained it thus.
To do otherwise is disastrous and
deleterious, and must inevitably
end in degeneracy and degrada-
ton.
This has been and is too true of
among the colored race in America.
Many have tried to ignore and
eliminate their own racial qualities,
both mental and physical, and ape
the white man. Some tried to get
away from their own race and get
in the other Some used all kinds
of cosmetics to bleach the skin, and
all kinds of straightiness to
straighten the hair. We have in
mind a so-called race leader. who is
the most striking illustration of
the point at issue; he makes it a
point to rise early in the morning
