Dickens Family Lost Big Fortune.

Dickens was one OF the most sue
.essful financially Of all authors. His
was 10 case of genius starving in a
garrett. "Pickwick" placed him above
want at 25, and for a period of 80
years following its publication in
1867 he received a prineely income
from his writings. His American tour
brought him $4,000. His estate at
his death in 1870 was estimated at
100000. That his grandchildren
should now be in need of the trifing
pension bestowed On them is a pain
full Illustration of the vicissitudes of
family fortune.

A Great Character.

A great character, founded on the
living rock of principle, is, in fact,
not a solitary phenomenon, to be at
nee perceived, limited and de-
scribed. 1t is a dispensation of Prov.
idence, designed to have not merely
an immediate, but a continuous. pro.
gressive, never-ending agency. 1t
survives the man who possessed IT:
survives his age-and perhaps his
country, his MISUNDERSTANDING Ey
erett.

PASTOR Renounces PRAYER.

A sensation was created in a church
near Leeuwarden, Holland, the other
day by the announcement made by the
pastor from the pulpit that he consid-
cred prayers superfuous, and that he
would no longer deliver any, as they
were inconsistent with his socialistic
convictions.

The eighth satellite of Jupiter, dis

markable not only for being so far

Killed On New Power Line.


Evans Vickers, an employee Of the
Susquehanna Transmission Company; lost
his life Thursdayof last week, while en-
gagged in the performance of his duties in
connection with the construction of = part
Of the line near Jarrettsville in Hartford
county. s
He had planted three sticks Of dynamite
to remove rocks from hole being dug
for the concrete base of al steel tower.
After the charge had exploded he APP
preached the hole, arriving just as the
second explosion took place, and received
the full force Of the discharge, which broke
his neck and arm, death resulting in
stantly.
Investigation revealed the fact that two
of the three sticks Of dynamite were dis
charged at the first explosion and for some
reason the third stick remained undis-
chargedfora Considerable time afterward.
It is supposed that Mr.. Vickers believed
the whole charge had been exploded and
that he might return to his work in safety.

CLANSMAN UNABLE TO WORK
.DENVER FOR FREE AID
VERTISISING

Somehow the city has survived the
disasters which were prophesied for 1t
if the clansman were produced here.
In fact, so far from this play exerting
a potent influence upon the communl-
ty contrary to the best interests OF the
colored people, it has been roundly
condemned by at least two daily pa
pers, condemned by one Ex-Governor,
and praised by no one. 1t is admitted
on every hand that it is an overdrawn
picture of reconseruction days, with no
excuse for reproduction on the stage
in this day 1t is said to be devoid OF
even literary merit. In the opinions
of the men who were approached and
sought to organize the Negroes Into
united protest against its production
here, it seeks to secure public notice
largely on the attitude of Negroes to-
ward it. This is on the theory that
hatred of the Negro race is strong
enough for white people to gladly pat
ronize what we protest against. 1t
may be that the management of the
Clansman is right 1t may be that
hate is enthroned above love. If it is
not, there is no need of protest, for
the very violence that the play does
to truth and right is sufficient to
condemn it in the eyes of the major
ity of people, and if it is, let this
country go whirling down into the NAV
of disaster where it belongs.
Franklin's paper the statesman., 1910-03-05

ministers, being members of the city
ministerial association, were solicited
to rally their laymen along with other
ministers. Later the requests for tick
cts made by the colored ministers were
rejected on the ground that the white
walters hired to serve the banquet
would not serve the colored persons
made by the colored ministers that the
walters refusal was subterfuge be-
hind which the local committee hoped
to cloak its own unwillingness to pro
vide for the colored laymen. This was
borne out by the published statement
of the white walters that they had not
refused to serve colored persons in
attendance upon the banquet. Finally
the matter was settled by colored
walters being employed and the col
ored ministers being given the assur-
ance that they and their laymen were
as welcome as any at the banquet, first
come, first served. The net result OF
the whole matter is few hundred
dollars to colored walters, and world
OF shame to Denver Christianity. The
idea of movement to carry the light
of the Gospel to Africa and the isles
of the sea, with its principle of the
fatherhood of God and the brotherhood
of man, being unable to bear with the
presence of few Negroes! The Bi.
BILE and the whiskey barrel have before
now come under the accusation OF
being the two "pacifiers" which the
white man resorted to when the bull.
and the sword were too costly or too
desperate to win foreign lands. The
Denver brand of missionary laymen
happily found insufficient backing IN
, the national movement and Christian
ity to spread the disgrace which they
had contemplated.

DENVER CONFESSES PHARISA-
ISM

Denver, the Mile High City, has sew
eral wonders all its own. The latest
is new brand of religion especially
respecting missionary work in foreign
lands. The papers have been full this
week of the developments of the DIFF
ferences arising over the attendance
of colored laymen at the monster lay
mems Missionary banquet. The facts
in brief are that the laymen's mis-
sionary movement with the mission
aries themselves and the head officers
of the missionary movements of all
churches behind it, is being pushed
throughout the United States in an
endeavor to give force to the work of
the Christian churches in heather
lands. This movement through cor.
respondence has sought the co-opera-
tfon of all ministers, including our
colored ministers. Here in Denver the
local committee introduced the idea OF
banquet as an influential adjunct to
the regular convention, the banquet to
be Thursday evening, and the conven-
tion Friday and Saturday. The colored
