Death of Prince Hannibal

4 Negro Who Claimed 70 be the Son Of hing
and Who O,cncd 'Sarcs.
Warrcnton, Va, January S.-An aged
negro named Hannibal Brown, who lived
alone in cabin near this place, was found
dead last night. Brown had remarkable
history. He was brought TO this country
from Africa in 1920. lie always affirmed
that his father was q king, who wore jewels
and owned many men. lie was tall and
commanding in appearance, and while al
wavs delcrential 10 white people, would al
low none of his colorcd brethren 10 be taml-
liar with him. and to the day of his death
he required them to treat him with the
respect due a prince. His former master
received such convincing proofs Of his royal
birth that he emancipatcd him long before
the war. Prince Hannibal then went 10
work As a blacksmith aud made much mo-
ney. As fast as he made moneyhe invested
il i'm slaves and he was, as far rs j. known,
the only negro man in the United States
who was a STAKEHOLDER. From bis slaves he
required the homage due his rank and no
one of them was permitted 10 come into ms
presence save with uncovered head. An
other remarkable fact connected with his
life was his devotion TO the cause Of the
South during the war, and he gave time and
money 10 the cause, as he believed firmly IN
the right to own slaves, which he inherited
from his native country. lie refused al
WAYS 10 shoe horses for Federal soldiers and
whenever they came around lie would 20 TO
bed and complain Of being sick. lie was
imprisoned in the Old Capitol at Washing
ton. a. be was suspected Of giving aid and
information to the southern soldiers. A.
everything he had was invested in slaves
the war lett him ponniless, and he since that
tim managed to make a meagre living at
blacksmithing, but bis old age prevented
him from doing much work. lie was new
or married. because he coald find 10 woman
Of his race whowa- what he considered his
eoual by birth and be lived an isolated life
for this reason. The colorcd people could

him. For n week he had rot been seen,
and Yesterday sotnc gentlemen went 20 his

Making Things Pleasant.

A great many bright and even witty things
arc said annually by husbands. throughout
the United States, in regard to the nearly
universal practice of wives and mothers OF
changing the arraiigements of the furniture
and the established order of things in the
household. The genial tender of the fire
in Backlog Studies" remarks upon the
fact that the only reason the mistress could
give for hanging picture in Ahat seemed
the most inappropriate place was that Il

tive delight 10 most women simply 20 move
things around with view of bctierlng the

many other garments beneath TO protect
him against the raw wind Of Hampton
