FURRY OVER A MULATTo.
Wins In White Beauty Show Near
Pittsbure and Farmers Are Hostile.

PITTSBCRG, November 2S-Edna Ma
son. a mulatto girl. yesterday won tho
first prize at a beauty show held at a
charity bazaar in Taylorstown, and last

tors threatened to expel the entire coiored
population from the neighborhood.
Edna. eighteen years old. possessed Of
strikingly regular features and with
clear light brown complexion. came from
Louisiana. two years ago. Her grand
parents were slaves and she was brought
up In a southern family of wealth. She
was educated in. a southern industrial
school and spent two years abroad az
the maid in the family in which she had
been brought up. She is a musician OF
some promise and possesses q sweet, WE'LL
modulated voice.
Her advent In Taylorstown was not
passed unnoticed. The village Ia situ-
ated in farming community and for
years the colored inhabitants have been
treated In a free. easy fashion and en-
joyed some pretense at equality with
their neighbors. When the bazaar vas
opened the blacks were eheerfully admit
ted. Their money was accepted and there
was no privilege they did not enjoy.
A beauty show was one of the attrac-
lions and half a score of the bellies of
the town took part. Edna Mason claimed
the right to SIT on the stand with ner
white sisters. Cne by one the latter
ting the majority Of the ballots Her mill
linery and gowns were OF the latest de-
sign and morn with q grace that caused
the chagrtn Of the farmers daughters.
When Edna won the prize a storm Of
protest followed. She hurriedly left the
hall and the negro patrons fed. Late last
night threats were made that all blacks
would have to leave.

SLAVS SEEM THINGS
VISIONS OF A JAPANESE-AMERI-

ST. PETERSBURG. November 2S-As a
result Of the fact that Washington has
cabled Secretarf Taft requesting him to
hasten his return to the United States,
the Secretary. who is coming across the
trans Siberian railroad and is due at Mos
cow next Saturday. has sent q telegram
to Montgomery Schuyler IT., the Amer
lean charge daffaires, asking him. II pos
sible. to arrange the audience with En-
peror Nicholas SO as to enable Mr.. Taft
to leave st. Petersburg the afternoon of
December 4 instead Of the night of De-
cember 5. as provided for in the original
schedule. Mr.. Taft says thath must
catch the steamer President Grant. which

that II he leaves st. Petersburg on the 9Th

hardly possible for him to get to Ham,

Russians Would Enlist.
The visit of Secretary Taft has given an
impetus to the stream Of Russians who
come to the American embassy to volun-
teer their services for the supposedly i'm
pending Japanese-American war. This
idea has gotten such a hold on the people
that some officers have even taken steps
to organize companies Of volunteers Mr.
Schuyler is resorting to the Russian press
to deny the possibility of any. trouble with
Japan and consequently Of the need Of
volunteers. = r-f
The most absurd stories regarding See
rotary Taft's mission to Russia are In
general circulation. AS an example. there
is published tale that the Secretary is
authorized to arrange for the stationing of
two Russian army corps In the Philip
pine Islands, and one American corps at
Vladivostok, and that he already has en-
gagged several Russian officers at high
salaries for this service.
Dispatches received here from Toxic de-
clare that Japan. on her own initiative,
has marked the graves OF the Russian
soldiers who died while prisoners Of war
with granite headstones. All the newspa-
pers comment favorably upon this evil
