The victim was Evan Evans, a
Welshman, fifty years of age, and

of erysipelas, but refused to have a

Colored Children at School.
A DECISION THAT THEY MUST BE AD-
MIrrED WITH THE WHITES.

A special dispatch to the Phl!a-
delphia Press from Meadville, Pa.
May 10, says: A very important
decision was delivered to-day by
Judge Church, in the court of com.
mon pleas for Crawford comfy, in
the case of the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania ex rel. Elias II. Al
len against the school directors Of
the city Of Mcadville. The plain
tiff is a negro having children of
the proper age to be. admitted to
the public school of that city, but
who were refused admission. The
plaintiff applied for writ of man
damus against the directors to COM
pei their admission. The directors,
the respondents, answered that
plaintiff 3 children were negroes,
and that by section 81, act of A.
sembly, May 8th, 1854, the board
of control having established sep
crate school for negro and mulatto
children in their district they were
not compelled to admit them into
the school where white children
were. The Hon. Pearson Church,
presiding judge, in very elaborate
and learned opini,n, held that the
21st section of the act OF 1854 was
viofative Of the thirteenth and four
teenfll amendments Of the United
States constitution, and hence nn-
constitutional and void. A per
emptory mandamus was ordered to
be issued, requiring and command
ing the respe ndents to admit the
minor children of plaintiff Into the
schools. This is the first case of
the kind decided in the State hav-
ing involved the main issues.

Sale of Widows.

A century ago, the authorities
Of town in Massachusetts, hat
upon an ingenious cxpedient for
disposing of tlreir widows, who
were tax upon the town. It
started a pauper traffic by selling
the poor annually cat vendue,S
and it continued this business du-
ring many years. In January,
1916. the Widow Lowell was added
to the annual list. and at a ven1ue
"tl,e said Widow Lowell was struck
off to Josiah Stevens for to keep
one year tor the sum Of nine
pounds six shillings; and if she did
not live the year he to have I'M
that proportion The Widow
Lovell's disposition was very mi
gratory. A Though sold and bonght
for a years service, the buyer
seems to have considered her a bad
Bargain, literally, for in few
mouths Joshua Briggs had her in
his house, and also had bill of
fourteen pounds against the town
for keeping and clothing her. She
became an expensive property to
the town. After considerable
knocking about, she finally died,
and was buriod ut the towns ex-
pense. But one of these widows,
Jane George by name, seemed de-
terlnined not to die, bnt ived on
until she outlived all who had becu
her contemporaries. Through near
ly two gen erations the standing IN
quiry among farmers was, "Who's
going to buy George 1t passed
into a saying; and thus ''By
Georgc!' became the town ex-
pletive.
In 1906 she was sold for fifty
dollars. She began to be one Of
Che towns poor in 1859, and was
set upon sale for the last time in
1903. The town was pleased with
tire business, and persistently voted
"not to build q poorhouse" on every
occasion When it Was proposed.
The widows gradually increased
in number and they were sold to-
the lowest bidder, every year,
without any expression OF senti-
mcnt. Thus, in December. 1SOS.
it was "voted to sell the widow of
the late Jonathan Perry and child,
also one COW aad one lfeiter."
In this children we're sometimes
rated with cattle, and separated
from their mothers, tins sevcrlng
all family ties. This method of dis
posing of the towns poor may have
been \ good one ,fnder the circnm-
stances Of the times, but it was ac-
companied by some acts which
must be considered as scandalo1hf
to any community tlrat favored
them, and which tended to destroy
all family affection.

Tho Earth's Age

Prof. William Denton, of Sam
in a recent lecture. made
sreculations upon the eartRs age,
and drew fresh illustrations. He
explained that the great trees of
California, showing 1850 annual
rings of growth. were saplings when
Nebuchadnczzar was born, and that
the fallen mouarch of the California
forest was at least 1000 years old.
The lecturer claimed that in the
tertiary strata of California had been
found the earliest human remains
ever discovered, and these human
beings existed when hglf New Jer-
sey, one,-tLird Of Virginia, all Of
Florida, part of Texas and Great
Britain we're under water when the
Mediterranean Sea was double its
present size, and the Gulf of Mexicp
extended to the Ohio when large
part of California was under the bed
cf tue Pacific Ocean, which dashed
against the foothills Of the Sierra
Nevada Mountains. afan was on the
earth before this, and this was long
before the glacial period, which no
geologist places at less remote PEI
riod than 100000 years ago.
Further back, are the distant periods
of chalk, traissic, red sandstone,
carboniferous formations, old red
sand stone, silurian, laurentian, and.
older than all, the bed rock granite
that forms the bach b me of conti-
ncnts, and often curves up to the sur
face from the earth's decps. But
Professor Denton didn't know, and
couldn't think, how old the world is.
