MARY JAMES RED HEAD
CROWNS EBON-HUED FACE
Maryland Colore6 Woman, the Envy Of
Her Race and Curiosity Of Her
NeighboThOod-

ALLEN. Nd. Nov. 14.-There is 4
young colcre5 woman residing in the
town Of Allan. Wicomlco county. who is
attracting considerable attention just
now. Her name is Mary Jane Cornish.
She lives just as other colored women
OF today do, but the noticeable features
about her are her ebony coIored face
and fiery red hair. Her face is a shiny
black as that of an imported African
while her kinky hair IS as rec as any
white persons. She presents a rather
weird appearance.
The young woman IS very industrious
and is affable and courteous in manner.
She takes the gatherings OF her white
acquaintance on her appearance good
naturally. An amusing thing about it is
that the cOlored population OF the town
hold themselves aloof from her. espe-
cialIy those who are superstitious. who
look upon her as being a representative
of Satan. Many or them refuse TO meet
her on the street
reporter inquired OF a colored man
why he did not pay attention 10 Mary.
He replied.' Boss, / hab allus heard
dat red headed white folks am de debbil
but a red-headed niggahi Lawdl She
am a debbil untiedr'
The young woman's parents say they
are unable TO account for her appear
ance adding that she had always been
so from birth.

VINELAND. n. J., Nov. 14.-Evidence
In the counter-divorce suits instituted
by the Rev. Robert MaUWilliams and
his girI-wife is being taken by Judge
James r. Hoagland. The clergyman is
applying for a divorce from his bride
on the ground OF desertion. while she
has hIed an answer denying his allega-
lions, and also a cross-bin petitioning
for an absolute divorce. alleging "ex-
IRENE cruelty and abuse" The dominic
and his young wife faced each other in
court yesterday for the first time since
the beginning OF the litigation.
Mrs. MacWiuiams. nee Fischer, seven
teen years old, appeared in the court
room attired in a natty costume. which
made her still more youthful In ap-
pearance. After telling Of the preacher s
eourtship and the wedding without her
fathers consent, Mrs. MacWilliams de-
scribed the interesting little details OF
the honeymoon OF just five days.
Yes. my first wedding supper In my
husbands house was Of stale bread

PITTsBURG, Pa. Nov. 1.-THE official
count Of the vote for governor in AL

that of Pattison, 81 900.
Pennypacker's plurality here over Pat

Of receipt which could be sent through
the mail Only the payee would be per
mitted 10 cash the check at the post
ONCE TO which il might be mailed.
Officials OF the money order division
disapprOved II because Il would conflict
with their method Of sending money
through the mails. Bankers opposed il
because II would reduce the chances OF
a commission for exchanging drafts.
Newspaper Offices and other business
houses having a list OF subscribers have
supported the post check proposition
because they could more conveniently
obtain small payments under such a
system.

Professor Uriah G. Kreider is by train

He stepped to the door and asked the
urchins to run home and be good.
The placid face of the pedagogue was
struck with terror when two of the lads
whipped out big guns and yelled, Hold

The fact that the professor held up his
hands may have made it easier for him
10 get through the door. Certain it is
that no stop-watch could have recorded
the time.
Then the bad little boys outside. in
