THERE'S DANGER THERE. One
Of the most striking illustrations of
the inconvenience, ifnot the absolute
danger Of wearing long dresses was
noted on Saturday. A lady wearing
an exceedingly long train, attempted
to cross Chestnut street, just as a
cart loaded with offal came along.
The cart caught the dress, wound it
around the hub Of wheel, threw the
lady on her back and frightened her
terribly. The driver stopped his
horse and bystanders flew to the
assistance of the lady. She was extri-
Gated by cutting out a large portion
Of the valuable dress and was taken
home, very much frightened and con-
siderably although not seriously
hurt. She lost a valuable dress,
made herself conspicuous object,
and was in great danger of being Sc
riously hurt, all to crafty her notion
Of fashion. May the lesson be good
one.

A Relict Of SlaYery-An Old Mother RecoT-
cred from Illegcl Bondage.
A Renaissance of southern barbar-
ism and defiance of law was brought
to mind lately in this city,in the per-
son of an old negress of '68, named
Rebecca Whale, who for 20 years
has served under a family named Cole
man, living in Lexington, KY, ever
since the Proclamation of Emancipa-
ton has the poor woman been still
basely defrauded of her rightful lib
erty by the continued baseness and
deceit of those who impiously laid
claim to her body and soul.
The woman was born on the Cole
man estate, and was, until a short
time ago, still held in bondage by
James Coleman. In 1925, she mar
ried George Whale, and had two
sons and two daughters. These were
separately sold "down South" as
the Colemans did not disdain the
noble occupation Of traficking in
human flesh. Her husband died,
leaving then but one girl of twelve
years, named Alice, with her mother.
In 1847 she too was sold into
Louisiana. The Colemans of course
sided with the rebellion at its break
ing out, and their property was
confscatcd. They removed furher in
land, taking Rebecca with them, and,
even when peace came, taught her
that she was still slave. Alice
followed the I'D Illinois from New
Orleans and finally settled in Chicago, |
where she married David Payne, a |
liberated bondman. Long search
showed her brothers in business in
Ohio and Kentucky. Her mother
was at last found to be still in Ken
lucky, and in bondage, and to her
the daughter went, found her drudg-
ing for thee olemans, and living in
a miserable howell near by, in rags,
with nothing but a bundle Of straw
for bed, the only reward Of her
long servitude, and brought her to
Chicago, and the reunited family are
now Diving at No. 123 West Polk
street. Her son-in-law has, by indus
try, laid up treasures on earth, and
the old lady is at last enjoying her
long-denied freedom. The other
daughter is still unheard from.
