| Susquchanna, Nov. 5.--Tom Harris Il
former slave. who came to this town
Via the underground railway" in ante
bellum days is turning white. When
| Harris first came here. over forty-onc
| years ago, he was as black as "thc
ace of SPADES to Use a current en-
| preston. Now he is more than two
| thirds white.
| In the days of the abolition agita-
| iion preceding the outbreak OF the civil
| war. the underground railway" pco-
! pie had many stations in Wayne
| county, including one in Susuuchanna,
where fugitive slaves were cared for.
In escaping from slavery in the south
/ Harris arrived here on his way to
| Canada. and there are people alive
| now who remember we'll his appear
| ancc at that time. After the close of
the war Harris returned from Canada
and settled in this country. where he
has since lived. 80 there is no chance
for doubt about his having been at
one time a cOal-black negro
Some years ago white spots began
to appear on Harris skin. These
We're rcrmanent,and each year brought
more Of thcnl until, by spreading and
merging into one another these white
spots have now covered practically
| two-thrds OF the surface of his body.
and he is fast becoming Il white man.
His hair. which was formerly kinky.
is also becoming straight. Medical
men are unable to exp]ain the nhenou
cnon.
