a Colored Man Turning White

Rufus Hurburt, a full blooded
negro who keeps a cigar store IN
New York, is rapidly turning idto
a white man. Some time ago white
spots appeared on his hands arms
and face, and these spots en!ared
50 rapidly that Hurburt consulted a
derlnatologist about them. He was
tod that within three years he
would be white man. Since that
time bis chest has turned white,
ard other white spots have appear
ed upon different parts OF his BODY
Hurburt now believes that he will
be entirely white in another year
He is rather pleased at theprospect
of becoming a living example OF the
Ethiopian changing his color, be
cause he says it will help him in
his business. Instances oil such
cases are rare. In this case the
change is the more wonderful from
the fact that to all ascertained
knowledge Hurburt was for sixty
one years a lull blOOded black. He
Is sixty.tvo years old. He does not
remember that for generations back
there has been any white blooH IL
his family. His father was an es
pecially hearty man, living to the
ripe old age Of los years. Hh
mother was only fourteen wheI
Rufus was born, but lived also to
great age. Hurburt attributes TIT
appearance of tue first white spo
on his body to fright.
