don, Welcomed to the City

two organizations met again in Faneuil
hall, where the entire assembly en-
joyed a smoker, which included va
rieIy Of entertainment by members of

ETHICS OF WIDOWHOOD.
Mourning Reduced 90 a Fine Art by
New York Women of Wealth
and Leisure.

One frequently hears that the wear
ing of mourning is no longer fashion
able. They who doubt should visit
among the smart set in New York.
On the day of the funeral long Eng
lish crepe bow is attached to the
knocker, with white Japanese chrys-
anthemums arranged at intervals
down the streamers. For the first pc
Rod of mourning the coachman and
footman are obliged to appear in black.
The New York widow is graceful
effect much better than her western
sisters. She has an air of Individual
ity which enchants even the casual OBJ
server. She always uses correct ma
terials and appropriate trimmings.
Her veil is draped with a coquettish
effect, but it is only in the first weeks
of her sorrow that it is ever permit
ted to hang over her face. Soon she
discards it, and a becoming short veil
of Brussels is used instead.
The New York widow is never seen
with that narrow edge of white set in her
bonnet. She looks on it with re-
pugnance, because it attracts atten-
ton. 1t tells all the world that she
is widow in the second stage of
grief, and that is not consistent with
the ethics of unhappiness. All the
toilets of her first black are trimmed
with English crepe, an expensive mel
ancholy material that clings to the
figure in a most graceful way. She be-
lieves in being eminently proper and
doing all that etiquette desires Of a
mOurner.
When second mourning days arrive
she wears soft folds of white crepe
lisse at the throat; then come law

SESSION TO BE HELD.
PRESIDENT Turns Deaf Ear to All Re-
quests That Congress Be Not
Called In November

Washington, Oct. "a good deal of
pressure has been brought to bear on
the president to induce him not to call
congress into extraordinary session in
November; but to all callers who have
spoken to him in that vein he has said
that this government is committed to
the proposition that the Cuban re-
ciprocity treaty be made effective at
the earliest possible date, and he re-
CARDS it as a matter of good faith that
this country should keep it's word. He
has declined, therefore, to consider any
proposition looking to the abandon
ment of the idea of an extraordinary

In color the apple has borrowed the
brightest colors of the rainbow. Some vari-
etes have the blush of the morning sunrise J;
some the green of the ocean waves; others
are globes of gold; while still others are
crimson globes that swing to and fro like
spheres of fire in forests of green leaves. In
flavor the apple is more or less aromatic

was not acquainted with any one ant
wanted to defend himself. Did moi
learn Posey was seriously hurt unit
next morning. DR.. Hibbitts told hin
that he did not consider Posey seri-
ously hurt.
On cross examination White stated
he had been arrested for shooting
John Freeman, but the defense, in re-
direct examination brough hit out the
fact that in that case the grand jury
had not returned true bill and de-
fendant was not tried.
White stated that he did not curse,
Posey cursed loud enough to have
been heard across the street. Did
not remember striking Posey the
third time. He (White) did not call
the attention to the knife, nor say
anything about it that night. Did not
know when Buster Moody entered the
saloon. Did not invite anyone to
drink.
w. H. Park stated he met Posey on
the street and went with him to a
livery stable looking for woman.
That they did not find the woman, and
came back by Pink Benefits, where
Posey cut the awning with knife.
He asked Posey to go home, and that
they were then about half way across
the street to Whites saloon; that
Posey said, 81 am going in here and
buy quart of whiskey and raise hell
and go home" The last tims he saw
the knife was when they were half
way across the street. Witness said
he had Posey by the arm on one side
and another man was on the other
side. On cross examination he said
the only time he saw Posey drink that

The White case was resumed with
Walter DeBow on the stand. His
testimony was corroborative, and no
new points were brought out.
John Sims testified as to the posi-
sition of Posey.
At nine O'Clock the state rested and
the defense was begun with the de-
fendant White on the stand.
Defendant White stated that he was
born and raised in Weakley county;
that he came to Union City in Janu-
ary 1902, and entered the employ of
Sam Ford where he remained until
October when he purchased the inter-
est of A. B. Campbell in the saloon
known as Turf Exchange. On last
Christmas eve night he was sitting in
the back room of his saloon playing
cards, sitting with his back to the
front. He heard a disturbance, and
heard Glasgow say, "don't tear that
CLOTH" Saw Jim Posey standing at
the end of the pool table with pieces
of the broken triangle in his hands.
Said Posey was loud and boisterous.
He l(White) walked up and asked
Posey what was the matter with him
and asked him to pay for the triangle.
Posey cursed and said he would not
go out and would not pay for it. White
slapped him, and Posey came around
the corner of the table with knife in
his hand. He (White) then grabbed
cue in self defense. He said he did
not know Posey and did not know if
he had been in his house before this
time. He denied having invited any
one in to drink. He stated that he
put pistol in his pocket, because he

meant by tearing up the furniture.
Posey said repeatedly, "I've got
money to pay for it, by.
White told him it was worth dollar
and to pay for it and get out of the
house. Posey had both hands in his
pockets. He said dollar was too
much and he would not get out of the
house. White then slapped him, and
Posey pulled his hands out of his
pockets, with a knife in one hand.
White grabbed cue and hit Posey
with it, After the second blow Posey
sank 10 the floor. Witness and Sim
mons then grabbed White, telling him
not to hit Posey again; that he had
done enough. Simmons then raised
Posey up and called to him. Sim
mons then let him fall back, and wit
ness stepped up and saw the handle
of knife in Posey's hand.
Witness said that a few minutes
later White said TO the crowd: "You
gentlemen come up and take drink
on me. This is my treat" Did not
see any one take the knife from
Posey's hand.
On cross examination Glasgow said
Posey ran small account with the
firm. He thought White slapped
Posey partly around and instantly
grabbed cue and struck him. Wit
ness spoke first to White about the
knife.
Bob Tuberville, colored, testified
that he saw knife in Posey's hand.
Vangn Ramsey, ]. W. Moody and
Jim Davis were called and testified in
effect that they were in Webster's
saloon when Simmons came in and
told of the trouble in Whit's saloon;

undertook to hit Posey Policeman
Simmons came in and caught
part of the blow. Witness testi.
fies that White then jumped be
hind the counter and remarked
that if anyone wanted to take it
up he was ready to do the same
way.
Upon cross, examination witness
was asked if this was the language
White used when he was behind
the counter. Witness said that it
might not have been the exact
words, but was in substance the
same.
DR.. Hibbitts was called and ex-
amined and testified that he exam
ined Posey's wounds in the saloon,
but not carefully until he was
moved over Jason Wilson's saloon.
Two wounds were found: One on
the side and the other on the back
of the head. The side cut was
one and a half inches in length
and the one on the back was one
half or three-fourths of an inch.
Both wounds fractured the skull,
and seemed to be made by u sharp
edged instrument. Either wound
would have been fatal.

Had seen him in Whites several times
before that night. Supposed deceased
meant he would raise hell with some
one about the woman.
Pink Bennett testified as to the
torn condition of the awning, and that
he did not know who did it.
Luther Park said he was standing
by Fish's old store, and saw Posey
across by Pink Benefits. Saw him
throw his arm up and heard the avn
ing tear. Did not hear Posey say
anything and did not see knife. On
cross examination he said Posey was
drunk and staggering from side to
side. Said his brother, W. H. Park,
met Posey at about Benefits place,
and he (witness) went up the street
and later met his brother, who told
him about Posey being struck. He
went to Whites saloon and saw Posey
lying on the floor. Saw nothing in
hands. Saw Buster Moody bending
over Posey's body, that Moody had a

Moody said nothing about a knife be-
ing IN Posey's hand.

behind the bar in the pool room. He
had sent the porter to the rear to get

About the time the negro returned
with the hatchet, Posey walked in Sin
boisterous manner, picked up the
triangse and slammed it down on the
pool table. He called to Posey and
asked him what he was doing. White

The Most Expert Typewritist In the
World.

Miss Mary E. Pretty proved her.
self the most expert typewriter in
the world few days ago when she
wrote 20, 400 words in six hours
and read her own copy from
closely written manuscript. Her
work did not average one error to-
the page.
The young woman who has so
suddenly gather fame unto herself
is just 81, and came from Phila-
delphia last March to fill position
in the patent Office at Washington.
She was appointed under the civil
service, having taken the exami-
nation last October. Her success
is as much of surprise to herself
as to anybody else, for she never
dreamed that there was anything
remarkable about her way Of op-
Grating a typewriter. She does not
claim to use any special system un-
less it be one of her own, which
she would not know how to teach
to any one else. Before coming tor
Washington she worked for a.
commercial house in Philadelphia
that paid her $12 a week. She is
now paid on basis of 1920 year,
but has every reason to expect
rapid promotions until she reaches
81 400, the highest salary paid to
female stenographer.
Miss Pretty took a business
course in one of the schools of her
native city and Immediately oh
tained employment with large
mercantile firm. She never tried.
to gain unusal speed on the type
writer, but always dispatch her
work as quickly and as easily as
possible without unnecessary fur
ry. Her complexion is as pink and
white as a chlld's, and when shen
talks she shows row of teeth Of
almost transparent whiteness.
Her hands are small and have
hardly lost their childlike chub-
biness, and yet they glide over the
keys of typewriter with an easee
and agility which is recorded on
the records of the patent office Of
the United States.
Those who have watched her.
work say that the secret of her
is steady nerves and a
power of concentration which is
better than any system ever in
vented.
