A SUFFRAGETTE.
fby Associated Press

DENVER, July 21.-"When are
the women of Colorado going to
send woman to congress?" asked
Lady Chrystal Mcmillan, delegate
to the International Council of
Women. who once addressed the
house of lords on woman suffrage
for four hours, and who was with
difficulty restrained from further
eloquence at the end of that time.
The question was addressed today
to a gathering of club women who
were entertaining the delegates re-
turning from the International Coun-
Gil at Seattle,
"In two years" was the quick
and decisive answer.
Although no definite plans of
campaign have been adopted by the
Colorado women, they are unani-
nous in the selection of Mrs. Sarah
Platte Decker as their candidate and
will use every feminine resource to
place Mrs. Decker among he solons
of the house. Lady Mcmillan is en-
thusiastic over the prospect.

Langford, the colored pugilist of
Boston, telegraphed him yesterday
agreeing to fight Ketchel on Labor
day for $4,000 of a $4,000 purse,
was the statement again made today

reports is that Langford denies he
wired Hall that he would. fight here.
The Nevada promoter is about ready
to declare all arrangements off Hall,

the citizens of Ely, agreed to wait

strength of this element.
Payne expressed the opinion that
the conference report carrying free
iron ore, coal, hides and oil could be
adopted in the house, but said he
had not canvassed the situation.
Aldrich is positive in his opinion
that such a report would fail in the
senate. but thought there could be
reductions made in the senate rates
with perhaps iron ore and oil trans
ferred to the free list without en-
dangering it's adoption.

When bleaching linen or lace keep it in the bright sunshine. To keep dust out of the bowl, place piece of glass over it.
 same as green peppers. Slice them, dip them in oil then in crumbs, ana fry in fat or butter.
 Never keep paraffin in an uncovered receptacle. It gathers dust. A tin box with a tight fitting cover is best for the purpose
 When cooking tomatoes to strain and use for tomato jelly, the flavor will be improved by bay leaf and piece of mace added.
 Peaches are good baked. Take out the stone fill the cavity with sugar, chopped nuts and raisins, and bake in the same way as an apple.
 When milk, soup or other foods boil over on the stove, cover the spot quickly with salt. It will do away with any, unpleasant odor
 Castle soap should be bought m quantities, and put away on the shelf to ripen. It may grow dark, but the older it gets the better it will be.
 Black chip hats that have a gray appearance may be made to look all most new by wiping with rag that is sprinkled with a few drops of sweet oil.
 For tight, hoarse cough, where phlegm is not raised, take hot water often, as hot as can be slipped. It will nearly always give great relief.
 Stewed rhubarb has a well known medical value; besides being a com plexion beautifier. it is said to be val uab1e for rheumatic troubles.
 When using vinegar to remove paint stains from white goods. have it as we'll as the Ncloth with which it is rub bed on as hot as possible.
 A delicious way to serve baked po- tatoes is to remove them from the skins, run through a vegetable press and mix with salt, pepper and but ter.
 Keep all wide-mouthed bottles that come into the house. They are handy receptacles for keeping tacks, seeds, screws and other small things.
 Lettuce, water cress and all such things should be kept on the ice or in ice water long enough before a meal to get thoroughly chilled.
 To brighten the eyes, take occasion ally, just before going to bed, the juice of half a lemon in a small tum- bier of water without adding any su- gar.
 If cabbage is soaked in cold. salted water for an hour before cooking, it will have a most delicious flavor. and the odor will be less disagreeable.
 A little muriatic acid added to the rinsing water after a blue and white fibre is scrubbed with soap and water will help restore the color.
 To make butter scotch, mix four cupfuls of brown sugar, two cupfuls of butter and three tablespoonfuls of wa ter ana boil until crisp in water. into tumblers or glass jars. set the jars first on a damp cloth. This goes a long way towards preventing their breaking.
