DO YOU KNOW THEM.
A Fortune for the Relatives

SAN FRANoIsco, CAL, Dec. 3O-'97.
Editor, The Planet:
Win you insert q
notice in your paper and assist in try
ing to Ind the relatives of John s.
Cspron, who left Virginia during the
Mexican war with Major Mccoy.
They came west and were for years
in Eureka Nevada where he accumu
lated large fortune. In either seven
~ eight or nine he married a white
woman with several children. Some
years after she died and last June he
died by committing suicide and these
children are trying TO claim all OF the
property. He willed his lawyer one
hundred Thousand dollars, so ne and
the step children are fighting in the
court over the estate.
1t is said that his mother was a col
ored woman and his father white. He
never denied being cOlored. though
socially and on business he was with
the whites. He was q cook, bat after
he cumulated some money he went
into Real Estate business. His descrip-
tion is auburn hair little curly or red
dish, sandy complexion very freckled
and about i've feet nine or ten inch-s
tall. / think il the State papers would
insert an item OF inquiry and the pas
tors publish it from the pulpit, it
might benefit some of his relatives. l
was called in the case, but could not
swear to bis being colored as I did not
know any OF his people. Attend to
this Immediately as the case will, /
think go to the jury next week, but
whichever side is defeated Think they
will appeal.

ROANOKE. January IS, 1898.
Last Sunday at $40 O'Clock, the
seating capacity of the 9th Avenue
Presbyterian Church was taxed to its
utmost to accommodate the large
crowd Of friends and scquaintances of
the late Mrs. X. G.. Henry, wife of
Professor 7. L. Henry, Principal Of IT, :
Ord Ward School, who had assembled
to Say the last tribute of respect t.
her. The occasion being a Memorial
ser vice, the choir stand was filed with
a select choir; with members of other
ehoirs of the city. On the rostrum sat
Rev. w. w. Brown, pastor of High St.
Baptist Church.
Mrs A. +. Brooks presided over the
meeting and opened the same by the
choir singing, lit is we'll with my
soul" Then the Lords blessing was
invoked by Rev. Brown followed by
another selection by the choir. The
pastor, Rev. L. L Downing was intro
duced and based his remarks on Jere-
miah 18th chapter and 9th verse. Her
sun is gone down while it was yet day"
and for thirty minutes he used words
Oouched in rich and commendabIe say

earth as an angel. Every word he
spoke, however, was filled with richest
truths for ''sne live the life and lied
the death OF q faithful christian, de-
voted wife, and a most pleasant neigh

sang another sad number, and Mr.
Riley Dungee read set of resolutions,

the meeting was occasioned by the
choir singing Asleep in Jesus" Five

EXAMINATION AT THE SCHOOLS.
All last week was occupied at ths
9rd and 9Th Ward Schools with exami-
nation. Professors T. T. Henry and
ID. ". Harth, Principals respectively
The work was conducted in a COM
mendable way, giving satisfaction to
teachers and pupils; but when we
speak OF the schools, we can but think
that. there is not enough teachers to
do the work. Just think of 125 pupils
IN one room to be taught by one teach
er. Well, such is the case at the 18th
Ward School and in our judgement 1t
il impossible for one teacher to prop
erly reach 125 pupils, reciting on one
form. So it is earnestly hoped by the
patrons Of the school, that the SchoOI
Board will remedy the present evil,
which, we believe, will prove to the
advantage of all concerned.

THE BURKER BURNT.

IRsEpactfully dedicated to the au-
thor Of bill to establish the Whip
ping Post in Virginia in 1898
John Hogan was 40 Irishmsn,
He Was in Erin born,
AND lived TO rae the wretched state
OF IrishmeR forlorn.
The world knows we'll the history
OF that fair Island old,
Her kings were famed for bravery,
Her warriors were bold.
Bat like old Rome and older Greece,
Ard many nations since,
Her ruin came through those in whom
She placed great confidence.
Then came the hordes from other
lands,
Who sore oppressed the Isle
With burdens grievous to be borne,
And every measure vile.
Aye, OF the fairest OF the earth,
Her women stood above,
Her sons fine, noble, splendid men,
A e'er for freedom strove.
In chains to-day this people bow
Beneath the British yoke,
While Cbristendom makes ne'er a
move.
Its rigors to revoke.
But John went forth to other lands,
To seek for fortune fair.
Hibernians, in those lands he knew
Were treated we'll when there.
He prospered in the course OF time,
His choice did not repent,
And when election came around,
To legislate was sent.
How, Johnnie was an honest msn,
And sought for honest veal,
He stickled for economy.
Adhered all who would steal;
Became the author Of q law
To punish every one
Who stole, with burning in the heel,
Accordingly twas done.
Now, when this law was mooted, it
Was by good men decried,
But Hogan spoke ia it's defence.
With eloquence and pride.
He showed that by his law. the State
Would many thousands save;
That he who called it bsrbarous,
Was either fool or knave
But Fortune frowns IS we'll as smile
she frowned on Hogans John,
He lost as fast IS he had gained,
His money, and so on.
he came to be so very poor,
He could not get withal,
Enough 20 keep inc WOh away
Then, poor John had fall.
He Lost his job, his wife fell sick.
His children starved and cold,
While nakedness and hunger pincht
Poor John his sad tale told.
But little pity could he find,
Though sometimes he would knee
To beg q pittance at some door,
For Jehn could never steal.
But cries of those he held most dear
At Last drove Hogan mad.
He took some food and left no pay,
Which act WAS very bad.
The man was wild, distressed was h.
He did not mean to steal,
But was arrested, fairly tried,
And then burnt in his heel.
Extenuating was his case.
And piteous were his cries.
His loved ones c-ied and pleaded. to
Tbs scene did shame the skies
And every Christian heart did blee
Ard for John Hogan feel,
The Law, itself did sympathize,
But burnt him in the heel.
Now, in that country that free land
Where John went forth TO dwell,
The people have their Legends and
Their old folk lore to tell;
Relate their stories with knack
That seems the truth TO seal,
But with the saddest faces tell
Or burning in the heel.
