NEITHER BLACK NOR WHITE.
Two Children With White Father and
Negro Mother Abandoned.

Raceless will be the fate of two
little children living at present with
the colored family of w. w. Wilson,
who keeps a cafe at 119 Kansas ave
nue.. These children, Charles Pad
gett. aged 10. and his sister Hazel,
aged 6, have blue eyes, flaxen curls
and transparent pink and white com
pelxions, in fact have all the appear
ance of the fairest white children, and
yet their mother has a distinct strain
of negro blood.
Their father, a white man, aban-
doned his negro wife some time ago
She cared for the children for a time
until they fell sick with typhoid fever
and were sent to a hospital. Before
tn cir complete recovery she had oc-
casion to leave the city and left the
children IN the temporary care of the
Wilson family.
Life for these two children will be
one continuous heartache. The white
race will never receive them on &C
when going with the other race they
tempt or curiosity of strangers who
will be wondering why a white per
son should care to seek society in an
other race.
For the girl the situation will be
more trying than for the boy for she
promises to be a beauty of the de-
cided blond type. But the race curse
will always be upon her and she will
be worse than homeless-she will be
race1ess.

gate Stole His Watch.

John Brubaker swore out a war
rant Friday against Charles APP
plegate, a boy who lives at 1856 Lane
street, charging him with stealing a
watch from Brubaker's pocket while
they were both working at the Vesper
bakery last night. The story that
Brubaker tells is that three of them,
himself, the Applegate boy and anoth-
er boy were in the back room of the
Vesper bakery and that things were in
such a position in the room that no
one could enter from the outside. Bru-
bakers vest hung on nail in the
room, he stepped outside and when he
returned he says that he could not find
the watch which was in the pocket of
the vest. He accused the Apologize
boy of stealing the watch, but he de-
MES any knowledge of it.
When Brubaker, who is himself an
exconvict, brought the boy into the
county jail this morning, the little fell
low, who is under 16, told the officers
that he had no knowledge of the
watch He was allowed to telephone
his mother, whom he told he would
soon be all right and for her to go out
to dinner where she had been invited
Not being able to get him to confess
to taking the watch. the officer or
dered the jai1er to lock him in a cell.
This was too much for the little chap
and he broke down and sobbed bit
terIy.
If I had Johns watch I would give
it to him. he cried
why don't you send for your
mother to come to help you OUT sug-
gested a sympathetic bystander.
ooh I don't want my mother here
to see me in JAIL" walled the heart
broken lad.
His troubles were soon over tenn
porarily, at least, for in half an hours
time the boys father had visited the
-
pIegate was released on his promise
to come to trial on Monday.

did not stay long. They returned to
break OF the civil war. Many Of their
former neishbors were killed in the
Quantrell raid. When the civil war
broke out Andrew Jones enlisted as
scout in Captain Adams company and
fought under Grant at Vicksburg.
1t was then that our family, and
particularly our mother, endured the
greatest hardship" said Lawrence NJ.

night. Father served the full four
years Mother was left to take care of
US and have a very distinct recollec-
ton Of the hardships of that fearful
winter of "a. We were just little
chaps then, Logan and L. We were
living in a little log cabin and re-
member how the snow sifted through
the roof and covered the beds and
floor. Mother would get up in the
morning, build the fires, get a meager
breakfast and then call US children.
When breakfast was over she would
take us by the hand and lead us to the
forest-she breaking the way through
the nowdrifts-where we would
break the limbs from fallen trees and
drag them home for the next DAVIS
fuel Father was only home twice in
his four years service, but mother was
always cheerful and apparently happy.
She has always been so. even when
she knew that her days were num-
bered."
The Joueses again moved to Kansas.
But this time they avoided Lawrence
and went on to Stafford, Kan, where
they opened a dry goods store and
lived until 1890, when they moved to

Important Address OF Metropolitan

The MetroD has for some

of new mortality tables based upon
It's own experience. By comparison OF
given periods in recent years with cor
responding periods in former years
back to 1890. the fact Is established
that among the Company's policv-
holders there has been sufficient i'm
provement In mortality (that is q
smaller average of deaths at various
ages) to warrant certain changes az
fecting future premiums and benefts
Their significance to the insurtne uub-
lie is reduction in the price of in

and through a readjustment OF rates
Of commissions to agents, a reduction
Of premiums charged in the Ordinary
Department
In an address to the company'u
agents, which appears in full in an
other part of today's State Journal,
Pres. Jno. r. Hegeman says:
"Our new policies will be found
most attractive in form and even more
attractive in substance. They contain
all OF the advantages and concessions
which we can afford to give and
which the public have the right to e1-
pect."
One noteworthy passage relates to
the Company's liberal policy of dis
tributing dividends and benefits NOT
contemplated in its contracts with
policy-holders. President TIerernan
asks his agents to note that This wear
the Company has been discussing the
enormous sum of about two millions
Of dollars in voluntary dividends upon

bringing the total amount of unproua-
ised dividends IN twelve years to about
ten millions of dollars to Industrial
policy holders in the form of dfvi-
dends on Dremiums. dividends on
death claims and Increases Of dement's
upon existing policies"
other matters discussed in the an
nouncement are no less interesting
than those referred to in this brief re-
view. The entire paper is commended
as an educational and timely con-
tribution to insurance literature.

"Dora Thorne" dramatized novel
OF the present season, marks a new
departure in melodrama. The story
of this play follows the book accurate
ly enough to permit the use of the
title, but the playwright has chosen
the incidents and happenings with ex.
cellent taste, and woven them into a
play that is interesting in the extreme.
The audiance cannot help but engag.
themselves sympathetically with every
turn of the fortunes of ssDora Thorne. -
a girl whom the English would call
low born;" who won the affection of
and marr'ad, the dukes son. The re-
sultant plot may be mapped out, but
the treatment of her natural girlish
eNuberance in contrast to the habitual
reserve and repression of the manner
aristocratic, must be seen to be appre-
ciated. "Dora Thorne" will be- seen at
the Opera House April u.

Fora Mill and Creamery.

n. III. Mosher was in town last Sat,lr-
day and is taking ali active interest
toward getting up co cooperative orga
nization for putting in Touring and
feed mill in Hot Springs, with which
might be connected creamery. An
option has been secured ON the old
Touring mill here and if sufficient
capital can be raised it is believed the
business can be made a success. The
mill would be put in shape for grind
ing macaroni wheat, which is proving
such a splendid success here. Such
an enterprise would be valuable one
for Hot Springs. 1t could be an all
the year round business enterprise
which would bring farmers here for
many miles around.' The creamery
connection would also be big thing.
Every citizens who wants to do some
thing for the permanent welfare and
development of Hot Springs should
think over this question and be pre-
pared to meet the farmers at least half
way in their desire for a mill and
creamery.

I'VE, the citizens of Hot Springs.
voters and taxpayers, most heartily
believe in Municipal ownership of
public utilities, and in public improve
ments of every kind, and we pledge
ourselves to secure and promote these
objects as rapidly as consistent with
the best business methods and the
best public policy.
"We also pledge ourselves most
earnestly to the support of law and
order and are of the firm belief that
the laws were made for all alike and
should be obeyed by all alike.
''We believe that anarchy in essence
is violation and disobedience of law.
"We Furthermore believe that en-
forcement of law cannot be descre-
tionary with public officials; but that
oath of office binds all public servants
to the execution of all laws without
fear and without partiality.
"We therefore pledge ourselves to
enforcement of all laws, against all
lawbreakers alike, to muicipal owner
ship, and to public improvements.
With these three issues, with our can.
didates pledged to support them, we
come confidently to the voters of Hot
Springs and solicit their support.
Respectfully submitted by the citi-
zens advocating these principles"
George H. Stoddard was then unani-
mously chosen to become the head of
the ticket, as Mayor of Hot Springs.
