AN ANTE BELLUM ROMANCE
Recalled BY Fight Over j. j. Richard
sons Estate.

Recalled BY a Fight Over j. j. Richard
sons Estate.
A case suggesting romance of ante
bel'eum days was before Judge Kohlsaat
in The Cook County Probate Court Thurs
day. All the parties in the controversy
are Colored and the dispute is over the
estate LETT by the late John j. Richard
son, Colored man, who was burned to
death in fire on Third avenue last
October. Richardson left valuable lot
on Dearborn street, near Thirtieth, some
money and claim for $1,000 against
Qnlnn Chapel, of which he was treasurer
Three of the sons of Richardson's
brother, CHARLES, Monroe and jefferson
Richardson, put in claim to the estate
as sole heirs. When the claim came to
be heard one John Prendergast bobbed
up and declared he was Richardson's
son. He got the name of Prendergast,
be said, from <kentnckian of that name
who had owned his father in slavery
times. ~
Aho hCiIs CtaIIucu, GulS was all a COCK
and-buIl Story gotten upato cheat the
rightful heirs, and they declared Richard
son never bore, the name of Prendergast.
William Ambrose, an Intelligent man
took the stand and declared he had lived
and known Richardson for over forty
years and he had been known by no
other name. The two came to Chicago
long before the war; Il remember the
the time WE'LL" said Ambrosa, because
the bells were ringing in announcement
of the death of Henry Clay. This Prend-
ergast is not son Of MI. Richardson"
Another claimant to share in the
estate whom Ambrose denounced is
Sam Henderson. The gentleman de.
clares he was grands m of Richardson's
sister. The history of Richardson, as
related by both sides, was widely diver
gent.
There has been some tall lying in
this case" said Judge Kohlsaat when
the hour for adjournment arrived, land.

will continue the case for further hear

The Ensign of Minneapolis of June 10th

bears evidence of considerable thought

from the Congregationalist he says:
There are, however, many signs of
progress among the Colored people.
Judging from personal observation and
reports from various sections, we have
good evidence that the number is stead
lily increasing Of those who own their
own homes. Common school education
has become general among them, and
their teachers are increasing in compe.
tency. There is, especially in towns and
cities, noticeable Improvement in their
houses, their clothing and their belong
lnys in general. There is a toning down
of the childish and barbaric love of dis
plry which so often distinguishes the
dress of Negroes from that of their white
neigbbors In a word, the rising genera
ton shows the good effects of primary
education, of the self-imposed discipline
OF freedom and of ambition to possess
and enjoy prosperity and influence.
The present opportunity, then, of the
Colored race in the south is for it to
make for itself worthy social life, to
create for itself history, literature
and am billions which will both unity and

Sophie Holmes Honest Act.

One of the first women who was as.
signed work in the Treasury Building
was co!ored women, Sophie Holmes by
name.
One night when Sophie was sweeping
the refuse papers in her room she found
box of greenbacks that had been cut,
counted, and packed to transfer to the
vaults, and had been accidently over
looked. She did not dare call the
Waterman for fear he would be tempted
beyond resistance. She thought of her
four small children at home alone with
no one to give them their supper or put
them to bed, but the one duty that
stared her in the face was to protect
that money. She sat down upon the
b?x and quietly waited for the hours to
60 by.
At o'clock in the morning she heard
the shutting step of Gen. Spinner in the
corridor and heard him open the door
to his room. She quietly slipped along
the corridor. knocked at Lis door, and
told him what she had found. The
General had the box taken to his room,
and sent Sophie home in his carriage
The next morning when she returned
she found the General still keeping
guard. That night he sent for Der and
placed in her hands her appointmint
papers given for honesty, and for thirty
years she has earned and drawn her $50
per month.
Fifty thousand dollars was in this box.
At another time she found $4,000, for
which the testimony can be seen over
