"The Love Wager" was written by
Edith Ellis, based upon Hungarian |
farce; the lyrics are by Cary Duncan,
and the music by composer hitherto
uDknown-Charles J. Hambitzer-
whose melodies are said to be original
and inspiring. 1t is confidentally as
serted that in Mr.. Hambitzer, Miss
| Scheff has unearthed a musical gen.
ius of the highest order, and his scores
will therefore be awaited with unusual
critical interest. The story of 1.-THE
Love Wager" deals with a bargain
made by Mitzi miss SchefD with a
handsome lieutenant, that she will give
him one kiss for each of her elder sis
tiers whom he provides with husbands.
The lieutenant forthwith arranged az
fairs with the fair conspirator so that
the three elder sisters soon are mar
ried off to VARIOUS admires, and then
he claims three kisses. Mitzi, by
this time, is the eldest unmarried
daughter Of the household, and, accord
ing to Hungarian custom, it is her turn
to commit matrimony. What happens
when the lieutenant tries to collect
the three kisses, may easily be imag
ined.

accompanying Mahmoud Schefket Pa
sha, was also hit by some of the bull
lets and subsequently died"
A man named Topal Tewfik has

ing one of the assasslns, and had in
his possession two revolvers and some
cartridges.
Ibrahim Bey's widow was, before
marriage, Miss Carrie Fellows of New

Platoro, Colo.-All of the camps in
the new Platoro-G ilmore-Stunner-Jas-
per mining district are excited over
the "grass-root" strike made Sunday,
June 1st, on the 1876" claim of Cole,
Hook G. Co., not far from the property
of the August Mining Company, which
latter was located late last fall by
George Gilmore and which brought
this district into world-wire notice and
is attracting miners from all camps in
the United States and British Colum-
bia. The first assay( made June 4th)
of ore taken from the 1876" claim
within one foot Of the surface re-
turned Ala ounces of gold and 1S.46
ounces of silver with total value of
S99.S0.
One finds scattered all over the dis
trict scores of pioneer miners and
prospectors of Colorado, who in re-
cent years have been working in the
mining districts of Utah, Arizona, Ne
vada, Montana, British Columbia and
Alaska, but who have returned to Col
orado by reason Of the gold strikes in
the Platoro district.
The town of Platoro is growing rap
idly. 1t is located in Conejos county,
Colo, on the south bank of the Cone
jos river, has a fine site with an
abundance of pure water. A census
taken May 31st shows a population of
400, as compared with five or six peo-
pie living there last winter. On that
date thirty-six cabins and ~sixty-seven
tents were counted with many new
buildings and tents going up. There
is sleady stream of people coming
into the district and now that the
snow has disappeared, indications
point to a great influx. The gold
field is from forty to fifty miles from
a railroad, but there are automobile
and stage lines from numerous San
Luis Valley railroad towns and good
accommodations can be obtained at
all the camps.
At the present time Platoro is the
only camp having a postoffice, but the
Postoffice Department has arranged
to establish offices at Sumner and
Jasper and they will be opened by the
first Of July. 1t SO happens that the
telephone company has trunk line
through the district and shortly the
camps Will be within telephone COM
munication with the outside world.

The negro of Texas can best ad-

He is we'll adapted to the climate: his
physical makeup Is we'll developed,

negro can have real estate Offices if
he will be truthful, honest and ener-
getic-if he will go into it with energy,
with enterprise, put life into 1t, make
it go. But he must work out and
shape his own destiny. Take the
farm. for instance: If the negro farm

methods; if he will have his lands an

to the factory and get fertilizers and
work them into the soil, he will make
one acre of land yield more than four
times as much as it would under the
old-fashioned method. The negro
should buy every foot of land he can
get in Texas, become a citizen, an own
er of land 1t will give him self-re-

1t is quite certain that potatoes will
not mix in the hill any more than
chickens will mix in the nest, but
this does not prevent a change in
potatoes in the hill, not due to mix
ing, but to the tendency of all living
things to sport" There will be oc-
casional ears of red corn when no
red kernels are planted, and red corn
can &c propagated by planting these
red kernels; SO viii there be varia-
tions in potatoes, and new varieties
may be propagated by planting
these sports. Ordinarily, new vari-
cites are obtained by planting the
seeds grown on the potato tops, and
these seeds will mix because they are
seeds-the potatoes are merely swolL
en- places in the roots.

1t has leaked out that number of
colored men have been investigating
white slave conditions as they affect
colored women in and about Chicago,
and that they ran upon a number of
cases involving number of supposed
ly prominent white men in Illinois and
other states. Some interesting revela-
tions and startling disclosures are ex-
pected soon to be brought to light in
the interest of the suppression of the
traffic in women. While the investiga-
ton was started in behalf of the col
ored womanhood of Illinois and pre-
cipitated by the anti-marriage bills in
troduced into the Illinois general as
sembly, 1t Is rumored that the investi-
cations of the colored men will help
the white women as well as the col
ored. 1t Is said that number of cases
have been found more serious than
that of Jack Johnson's and that much
documentary and other evidences have
been secured by the investigators
which will be important in arousing
the public to that moral awakening
which will demand the protection Of
all the women of Illinois without re-
gard to race. color, condition or ma
tionality. At this time the colored peo-
pie will be very glad to have the bene-
fits of just such work as is reported
as being carried on quietly. while
their rights and liberties are being
threatened at Springfield.
The Introduction of SO many anti
intermarriage bills in Illinois, the only
result of which can be the further low
ering of the Negro citizen in the esti-
nation of the general public. have an
gered and provoked the Illinois Ne
groes, as they have not been in many
years. During the past six weeks two
conferences were held at Springfield,
composed OF strong representative col
ored men and women from every sec
.tion of the state.
