Chicago, Oct. ia woman who, ac-
cording to her own report, was living
at the time of the Boston tea party and
the meeting of the first Continental
congress is dead at the Home for Aged
and Infirm Colored People. If the re-
ports of her age should be correct, she
was the oldest person IN Illinois, and
possibly in the United States. The wo-
man was Ellen Stewart, a slave before
the Civil war, three times married, and
mother of four children, the last of
whom died several years ago of old age
According to her story, she was born
in ITO, and consequently was 1872 years
old, The officials of the institution in
which she died, after an investigation
as thorough as could be made, credited
her statement.
Until within a few months of her
death the woman was in complete con-
troll of her senses and told many stories
of men and women distinguished in the
earlier days of Virginia and Kentucky

there is already congestion in the coke
region. When anthracite coal mining IS
fully resumed and grain shipments at

will find great difficulty in meeting all
requirements, despite vigorous efforts
to increase facilities. Railway earnings

PRIEST WAS OUSTED.
Nebraska Bishop Wins Court Victory
Over Church Member.

Lincoln, Neb., Oct 1.-THE supreme
court has rendered an opinion in favor
of Bishop Bonacum in his suit to Dust
Rev. Father Harrington from the parish
property in the town of Alma The
bishop several months ago dismissed
the priest from his charge, but the lat
ter refused to retire from the parish
house and retaining the keys, continued
to hold services in the church. Bishop
Bonacum sought to secure possession
of the property and enjoin the priest
from using it. but the lower court de-
MED the writ. This judgment is revers-
ed by the supreme court. 1t holds that
when the governing authority of a
church of a religious organization has
deprived one of it's clergymen of his
authority to officiate as such he may be
enjoined from using the property. This
is the third victory for Bishop Bonacum
in his actions against priests.

were writing their names, with phrases
from their works, in her album When

phrase of the blue Danube" waltz
