mULATT0 WINS INBEAUTY SHOW.
Indignant Farmers Threaten to Drive
All Blacks from the NeighbOrhood.

All Blacks from the Neighborhood.
P1rrsBURG, Dec. 2-Edna Mason,
a mulatto girl, won the first prize at
a beauty Show held at a charity
bazaar in Taylorstown, and now the
admirers of her white competitors
threatened to expel the entire color
ed population from the neighbor-
hood.
Edna, eighteen years old, possess,
ed of strikingly regular features and
with a 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 as the maid
in the family in which she had been
brought up. She is a musician OF
some promise and possesses sweet,
well-modulated voice.
Her advent in Taylorstown was not
passed unnoticed. The village is
Situated in a farming community
and for years the colored inhabitants
have been treated in a free, easy
fashion and enjoyed some pretense
at equality with their neighbors.
When the bazaar was opened the
blacks were cheerfully admitted. !.
Their money was accepted and there
was no privilege they did not en-
joy.
A beauty show was one of the at
fractions and half a score Of the
bellies of the town took part. Edna
Mason claimed the right to sit on the
stand with her white sisters. The
mulatto girl was getting the major.
ity of the ballots. Her millinery and
gowns were of the latest design, and
worn with a grace that caused the
chagrin of the farmers daughters.
When Edna won the prize storm
of protest followed. She hurriedly
left the hall and the negro patrons
fled. Late last night threats were
heard that the blacks would have to
leave.

Encouraging the Lawyer.

A North Carolina lawyer says that
when Judge Buxton, of that State,
made his first appearance at the bar
as a young lawyer, he was given
charge, by the States solicitor, OF
the prosecution of a man charged
with some misdemeanor.
It soon appeared that there was no
evidence against the man, but Bux.
ton did his best, and was astonished
when the jury brought in verdict
Of 'guilty.
After the trial one Of the jurors
tapped the young attorney on the
shoulder. Buxton" said he, I'VE
didn' t think the feller was guilty, but,
at the same time, didn't like to dis
courage young lawyer by acquit-
ting him."

Senator Beveridge of Indiana. who

creation severely alone long enough to

If the facts stated III the following

Little Rhody's Celebration.

On May 4 Rhode Island celebrated
the one hundred and thirty-first anni-
yersary of her declaration of independ-
ence of King George III. It is to be
hoped that before long she will muster
up courage enough to declare her inde-
pendence of General Brayton and the
gang Of Republican buccaneers who
have made her politics hiss and by
word among her sisters. True, most
of them are not in strictly prime con-
dition to cast stones at her as she
passes by, but perhaps she is the worst
ever. The senatorial deadlock which
leaves her with only one senator of
the United States was simply a dead
lock among moneybags. Some folks
doubt whether she really possesses a
republican form of government such
as is contemplated by the federal con-
stitution. As long. however, as she has
patriotism enough to celebrate her dec
laration of independence of the British
king there is a hope faint, it is true,
but nevertheless a hope-that she will
unload the general ct id genus omne.
She claims that BY making her dec
laration Mag 4, 17T6, she led the van
iD freedom S cause, but North Carolini-
ans assert that they made the Meek
lenburg declaration nearly year ahead
of Little Rhody's brave performance.
Which is right this deponent saith not,
because he knoweth not, but it's q
strange historic fact that Rhode Island
and North Carolina did not come into
the Union for several months after the
federal constitution was adopted and
the federal government was running

Strange to relate. when the wife of
the wounded man and his paramour
sent TO the neighbors for help no one
came TO their relief. Served hini
right, was the answer sent back.
The senator would do well to read a.
few excerpts from the sayings of Jesus
to that neighborhood. They certainly
are in great need of such lesson as
the Saviour taught when he directed
the gHilfless one Of a bowling mob to-
least the first stone and, no one APP

With that passage for text Brother
Beyeridge ought 70 be able to move
the hearts. of these cruel Hoosiers to

Speaking of this transaction In Owen
county, Ind, the indianapolis News
says
It is hard to believe that there are eight
men in Indiana who would be guilty of
the crime Of invading mans house at
night, shooting him and then almost
stranglng him. And when these same
men brutalIy whipped q wonlan-no mat
ter who or what she was-the outrage is

of IT. eight men against one WomaH If
these people had violated the law, it would
have been an easy matter to get the
courts to act. But no offense of which
they could have been guilty whether
against the law or against the moral
sense of the coromunityeoul have justi-
fed this midnight shooting and whipping.
The men who engaged III this are the real
culprits. They set themselves against the
law, deiied the state of Indiana and
brought shame on all our people
Three or four years ago in the town In
which the State University of Indiana is
located and quite near to that institution

in white caps and masks set upon and

wire No one was punished because the
people of the vicinage were SO cowardly.
that they were dominated by towards.
Not many years ago in another Indiana
county four or five men were put to death
by white cappers. not because of Grim
inal outrages, but because they were re-
garded as undesirable neighbors. Local
sympathy or fear, or both, prevented
their punishment. The constitutional re-
quirement that person accused Of crime
must have the right to be tried in the jl-
dicial district in which the alleged crime
occurred may be wise and wholesome, but
it has been the shield of a great number
of villainous men. the worst Of the crifni-
nal elements of society.
