Afrald q Students

Shortly before noon to-day a coll
ored woman stopped at the city hall
and asked for q home. To Captain
George Black she said she was
tired out by hard work. She gave
her name as Sarah Pratt and her
age as 81 years. She was born in
Maryland but has been living IN
the country near Wilmington since
the war. Captain Black told her
to 60 upstairs and rest herself. She
looked at the Captain and then said
"Hab We any students in her.
Captain Black assured her that no
doctors or students could get near
her. He succeeded in this way in
getting her to one Of the cells up
stairs under the charge of Matron
White. Sarah informed Captain
Black that people told her how
there were students around the po-
lice station and that they had a
particular fancy for fat people
She was once more assured that
the students must let her alone
Captain Black had an excellent
dinner furnished to her.
