THEY WERE RIVALS FOR WHITE
MANS ESTABLISHMENTS
THE BLOODY SEQUEL OF THE
LOVE AFFAIR BETWEEN THESE
TWO YOUNG NEGRO WOMEN
AND THEIR WHITE PARAMoUR
SHOULD BE WARNING TO THOSE
SIMILARLY INVOLVED.

The common saying, when there is
tragic difficulty between men, that
woman is at the bottom of it. is re-
versed in the tragedy enacted in the
alley back of Seventeenth avenue be-
tween State and Patterson streets. Sun
day night, Feb. II, by Renda billiard
and Mollie Thompson. The cause of
this fatal encounter, it is said, was a
white man. He was playing court to
these two dusky damsels and this dou-
BILE dealing on his part when discovered
aroused the green-eyed monster, jeal-
ousy, which had its tragic sequel in
the death OF one of the rascal's para
mours Sunday night.
There are many such scamps as this
one masquerading up and down the al
jeys and dark places of this great civil
community. Like vampires, this lech-
erous, lustful class of white rascals
hang around colored districts to allure
and despoil unwary, thoughtless and
unprotected colored girls. These i'm
moral snakes invariably leave in their
wake trail of moral ruin and wreck
nd sometimes horrid trail of blood.
Ms they crawl through these colored
communities, as is their nature, they
bite any unsuspecting, sophisticated
colored girl, miss or young woman,

Is within reach of their fangs. Their
bite is fatal-moral death.
There are Stamford Whites by the
scores who have a penchant, an insa-
table mania for colored girls, who,
under the cover of night, haunt locali-
ties inhabited principally by colored
reople to victimize their girls. It is
he nature of the beast Of prey to
steathily secret itself in the heights
above some watering place frequented
by other deni1ens of the forest and
when unwarily one comes to slake it's
thirst to pounch down upon it, so it is
with these white moral leopards who
sneak about colored settlements after
the sun goes down. These wretches
shun their own communities with the
Tread of hell, knowing that their

With no more consideration than

homes and dwelling places of Ne

Il they can accomplish their purpose
by duping and doping ill-raised Negro
iris. If a Negro man sees one of
these villains and expostulates he is
answered by bullyism. They assume to
trample down colored women, to beas-
tialize them on the theory of their
white superiority and in the presence
Of Negro men, assuming that they
have no right to object or interfere.
The colored woman who makes it
up in her mind, from whatever con-
sideration, to go into the "illicit love
game" with a white man, without be-
ing detected in the course of time. is q
bigger fool than she is a rascal. Il Is

and tighter he weaves about his col
Ored female victim the web Of infu-
ence. When he gets her so deeply en-
tangled in the meshes Of his power
that she cannot extricate herself with
out his permission, then he dictates
terms and she is his plant knave anI
must obey. 1t is then too late for her
to retreat, the bridge that spanned the
chasm between the quagmires of the
lowland into which she has wandered,
allured by the will 'o-the-wisp Of sor-
lid gain, and the high grounds beyond
on which she stood in conscious pride
Of unfettered womanhood has been

moral stamina has cut the bridges be-

he can recross the chasm; but she,
moor, deluded victim of his lust, must
forever wander in the slushes below.
