CAVE DAT 'POSsUM.
COLORED LADIES OF PILGRIM
BAPTIST CHURCH
GIVE A SOUTHERN DINNER.
A Splendid Menu, in Which sPOs-
sum and veetPOtatoes Have
Prominent Part.

Not since "befoh de wah, way
down in ole Virginny" has there
been such a glorious 'possum din
ner as that given last night in the
vestry of the Pilgrim Baptist church
by the ladies of the Willing Workers
society. A delightful lunch was
served at noon, and up to o'clock,
as Miss Retta Dodd expressed it,
'the mos 'stinguished cullud gem
men in de city was jes' sprawlin' all
over each udder" in their efforts to
share the delicacies proffered by the
charming girls of the Whispering
club. This club is composed of ten
of the most prominent Pilgrim young
ladies, the sole conditions of mem
bership being age under twenty-one
and written evidence of three re-
jected proposals.
Miss Fannie Dodd, the president,
distributed with seductive eye and
ample spoon a delicate creation in
the realms of ice creams that had
not been equaled since the club gave
its Minnetonka picnic. Louis Liver
pool attended the picnic, and he
voices the universal judgment when
he asserts that the ice cream on that
occasion was ''de gen'win incandes-
ence oh combustibIe delicacy." Mr..
Liverpool was also present yester-
day, both at the lunch and the din
-ner. He repeated his encomiun Of
the ice cream, and added that the
cake was amber, fit fuh de gawds. -
The remaining sirens of the Whis-
per1ng circle, who frenzied the dot
ing SWANS with the callous impair
TALLY of their pleading eyes and
gentle signs, were Miss Julia
vaughan, the vice president; Miss
Name Combs, the secretary, and
Misses Jennie Combs, Gertrude Trot-
ter, Lena Herman, Addie James and
Retta Dodd. 1t is necessary to add
that the efforts of this magnetic
combination were not exerted in
vain. During the afternoon not less
than 200 lunches We're served.
The bill of fare for the dinner, be-
ginning at o'clock, included chickens
IN seven different forms; roast 'possum
with sweet potatoes; olSra soup; corn
bread; beaten biscuit, and many other
distinctively Southern features. not to
speak Of all the customary edibles of a
sumptuous spread.
Miss Fannie Dodd officiated as head
waiter, her assistants being the Misses
En- Kicks, Jennie Combs, Retta Dodd,
Emma Dodd and Alice Rayford. Miss
Fannie Kicks was the chairman of the
finance committee, while the culinary
operations were unde the supervision
of Mrs. John Dodd. Mrs Charles H.
Brown presided at the apron table, as
sisted by Mrs. James Smith
DUNG the evening an entertaining
musical and literary programme was
provided under the management of
Miss Nina Crosby. The features rem
dered were: Mandolin solo, Miss Sadie
Mickens, accompanied by Messrs. r.
F. and James Pendleton; soprano solo.
Miss Celia Evans; recitation, Oliver
Blige; and baritone solo, James Hick-
man. The various selections were
most creditably rendered, and received

Of the estate of Charles Scheffer. de-
ceased, to give a good and sufficient
bond for the faithful fulfillment of
their trust
The petitioners are heirs under the
will of Charles Scheffer, and the petit
ton alleges that the executors have
invested some $4,000 of the funds in
manner contrary to the direction Of
the will, and that the court has so
held. 1t is further alleged that they
gave bond in the sum of $25OO00 when
they assumed control of the estate,
and that Amherst H Wilder, Horace
Thompson and W. S. Culbertson, all
of whom are now deceased, were sure
ties on that bond; that the estate of
Wilder is the principal source that
must be relied on for the fuIfillment
Of this bond, and that proceedings
have already been begun for recov-
cry, in the way of filing claim in
the probate court against the Wilder
estate. In view of the fact that re-
covery will give the executors the
handling of a large sum of money,
the court is asked to compel the exec
utors to give bonds, Or else remove
them. The Scheffer estate is valued
at $4,000.

NEEDS NO COMMITTEE
CORPORATION ATTORNEY TAKES
UP CARES OF OFFICE.
Mr.. CHAMBERLAIN VACATES
The New Incumbent VIII Choose
old Force Yet Retained.

Edward Darragh, the new corpora
ton attorney, took possession of the
office yesterday, and Leon T. Cham
berlain, the Incorporation attorney,
removed his volumes of legal lore.
There was no other change. First
Assistant Corporation Attorney Cha
pin, Second Assistant Pike and Third
Assistant Markham will remain for a
few days until Mr.. Darragh selects
his assistants. Messrs. Chaplin, Pike
and Markham handed in their resig-
nations to Mr.. Darragh, but, at the
latters request, they consented to re-
main for a reasonable time.
Mr.. Darragh has not decided who
his assistants will be, but he says that
he can and will make his selections
without the aid Of any committee, as
alleged in morning paper. That Dan
LAWYER and the O'Briens would act
as committee to pick out Darragh S
assistants, as stated in that paper, is
an absurd announcement on the face
of it. By the time such a committee
reached a harmonious agreement on
anything Mr.. Darragh's term would
be ended. Mr.. Darragh says there is
no truth in the assertion that the
selection OF his assistants is in the
hands of any committee.
1t is generally understood that one
of the force attached to the city at
torney's office will remain perman-
emily, and that is John Clancy, the
efficient stenographer, who has be-
come so accustomed to the dictatio
of lawyers that he can transcribe two
conflicting opinions from the same
lawyer upon the same subject with
out cracking a smile or turning a
hair. Hence Johnny is sure to stay.
Mr. Darragh says that he will make
known his selections in due time. In
the meantime he declares that all
publications purporting to name a
single one Of his staff are unwar-
ranted and unfounded
Mr.. Darragh filed the required bond
of $4,000 yesterday forenoon. The
sureties are John T. Frederick and
John H. Allen.

SHE ALLEGES FRAUD.


Mrs. ScheII Asks Court to Set Aside
Deeds Given by II. w. Smith.
Mrs. Elizabeth ]. Schell has begun
an action to have set aside as fraudu-
lent deeds of transfer to certain prop
erty formerly owned by Birdsey w.
Smith and decided by him to his son,
Chester r. Smith. Mrs. Schell was
recently given judgment for $1,000 OIL
note against the Dakota Land and
Live Stock company, and Birdsey w.
Smith, a director in the company, as
one of the indorsers. In her present
complaint she alleges that the sheriff
found no property belonging to the
Dakota Land and Live Stock COM
pany on which to levy an execution,
and she charges that the transfers of
property made by BirdSey W. Smith
to his son and other persons were
made for the purpose of avoiding pay
ment of the debt. The court is asked
to order that these deeds and certain
pretended mortgages be set aside and
the property made subject to eXecu-
ton for the satisfaction of the judg-
ment.

WHAT MISERABLE LUCK,
Tailor Cohen Injured SO He Cam
not Sit Cross-Legged-He Wants
Damages.

According to the allegations in
complaint filed in the district court
yesterday, Jacob Cohen, tailor, has
been in miserable luck. Cohen has
brought suit against the street rail-
way company to recover 5000 dam
ages for personal injuries alleged to
have been sustained by being thrown
from a car from which he was alfght-
ing on Mackubin street last fall. He
alleges that the car was started with
a jerk before he could descend, and
threw him to the ground, injuring him
in various places, but especially his
knee. Here is where the misera bic
luck comes in. Tailors have to sit
cross-legged, and Mr.. Cohen alleges
that the injury to his knee has been
such as to prevent him from sitting
IN this easy, graceful position, and
therefore he cannot work at his trade.
1t is on this fact that he bases his
claim for damages.

The fire emanated from the black
