Reading This Letter Gives White
 Man an Idea of How it Seems.
 To the Editor of the New York Tlmes:: You take the negroes of New York to task for their ill-advised attempt to make a race issue of the arrest and prosecution of a notorious woman I sternly protest against your statement that we are making or seeking to make a race issue out of an episode so singu-
 larly disgusting in it's published details that am unable to understand why
 they are even published.
 In view of the fact that this woman Is an octoroon-seven-eig white in view of her having divorced her col ored husband, and abandoned her col- ored child and lived among white peo-
 pie for year, it is hardly just or fair to her hour of exposure and calamity to
 brand a negroes" If blood will tell,
 which blood tells in her case-the one eighth or the seven-eights? We have neither sympathy nor money to waste
 on a woman of this stamp. If any
 news-hungry reporter heard any negro talking about pooling real estate" he
 only illustrates that what was true in
 Samson's day is true still-that the jawbone of an ass can sometimes slay
 many people.
 The Times thinks she has at least
 no ground of complaint that because of her color or for any other reason she was prosecuted or unjustly treat ed" It seems to me that no fair-mind- nd eos.- without feeling that the race question
 was obtrusively thrust into it from be- ginning to end in way unjust to the lcolored people who are not responsible and discreditable to the authorities of
 the law who were, and yet how do we act?
 We saw this woman's house besieged
 by hundreds of vulgarly curious peo- pie whom the police would probably have cleared from any other place We | saw MT. Jerome. after entering into a
 conspiracy of silence with Mrs Elias
 earlier in the case, finally force Platt to criminal prosecute her; break into I her house at midnight when he might have entered at n66nday, take her away from her unweaned child that might have been carried with her, land
 her in the Tombs, and ostentatiously shut her up in the Jim Crow" row un-
 der bail that all her judges admitted
 was excessive, and which could scarce ly have been furnished by anyone at that hour; allowed her to be assaulted and mobbled on her way to court and insulted at almost every bar of justice. All this in case sa frail that it fell of its own fiimsiness by the breath of 'the District Attorneys own assistant

 Gen. Burubeck was twice married. His first wife was Providence woman. After her death he married the widow and she was the mother of the generals two sons. The surviving son.
