from Woodbury., Conn, where papers
are out fer the arrest of Mrs. Catherine
A. Preston, wife of C. J. Preston, fer
years prominent and popular and inf1u-
entail in woman's work and society.
She is peculiar woman. Her cellar
was found full of chickens which have
been identified as among those stolen
during several weeks back, when the
town has suffered from this kind of
petty thieying. Mrs. Preston will say
nothing until Monday, but her husband
is enraged and there is little doubt that
if she is convicted he will quickly APP
ply for a divorce. She is an acknowl-
edged beauty, a fine dancer and intel
lectual, and her friends say it is KEEP
tcmania' if she stole. The Prestons

blue bloods of the town. The father

Quite a number of the theories that
have been held in reference to the
Afro-American have from time to time
been exploded. 1t used to be supposed
that the Afro-American knew more
about, and was the greatest lover of
watermelons on earth, but this season
White man has succeeded, after years
of experimenting, in producing seed
less watermelon, and we have heard
of many Afro-Americans who, cannot
bear the taste or even the smell of
them.
1t was supposed by many that the
f-o-Americans were rapidly dying

ed the stufing out of that.

also thought to be run for his special
beneft-or detriment but that idea is
as far from the truth nowadays as
the Arctic explorers are from the dis

that the only chicken thieves are Afro

damnable American color-line into
