HOWELL, Mich. Dec. 23.-Mr. Jacob
EldrIdge. an old coIored woman who has
been gradually turning white for several
years, died yesterday. Tie greater part OF
her body at the time of her death was g
healthy lily white. Her ancestors, as far
as known, were full FLOODED negroes. A
number of years ago she noticed on her
leg small pure white spot. Soon after
other similar spots appeared and gradu-
ally spread until they joined. Almost her
entire body thus became white, Except her
face, and several white spots had even sp-
peared on it.

Solution of the Telegraph Wire Trouble
ST. LOUIS, Dec. 23.-COlOnel Flad.
president of the board Of public improve
meats of this city, suggests q new and
somewhat novel solution OF the telegraph
and telephone wire trouble in cities.
Colonel Flad's plan calls for iron towers
100 to 135 feet in height at each second
street intersection, the tow ers to consist
of four wrought iron columns, the base
of each being planted at the corner Of
the sidewalks, these columns coming 70
q common center in the middle OF the
street, to furnish . resting place for all
telegraph, telephone and electric light
wires. Colonel Flad argues that the
system would abate the wire nuisance as
IL at present exists, and be much cheaper
than il could be accomplished by placing
the wires underground. His plan also
embraces q provision for electric lights
on the towers for street lighting pur-
poses, and provides wires by which to
operate street cars on the Siemen's prin-
ciple, as employed in Berlin.

The Duty of Grand JHries.

H1i Moving, from the Monte
yuma Record, is timely and to the
point. If reports be true, the
same state of things exist in our
own county. The article should
be read by every grand juror that
will serve at the May term of Ter
rell Superior Court:
"GraLd jurors in nearly every
section of the country fail to do
their duty for fear of making
somebody mad. Evils which cor
rupt the morals of community
are winked at and passed over be-
cause many times the parties who
are guilty of unlawful deeds hap
pen to have money. This is all
wrong and q man who takes the
oath as q juror cannot pass such
things unnoticed without perinr-
ing himself. 1t is said that there
nre in Macon county no less than
six white men who live with ne
gro women, and we have no doubt
but what the same state of things
exists in other counties. While
these women are not wives dejure
they are defacto. 1t is shocking
to the moral sensibilities of all
good men, and the laws of the land
should deal harshly with any man
who loses all respect and faunts
his leprosy in the faces of decent
people. They are avowed enc
mics to society and deserve neith-
er social recognition nor legal le-
niency."
