REARED BY coLoRED WOMEN.
White Girl Placed Under Care of
Board Of Guardians.

The custody of the eleven-year-old white
girl Edith Brown, who has been living
with a colored family named Brown until
recently at 727 7th street. and who was
removed and cared for by the board OF
children's guardians a little over a week
ago, an account of which was given al
the time in The Star, was definitely set
tied yesterday afternoon by Judge De-
Lacy of the Juvenile Court. when he COM
mitted the child to the care of the boa nd
of guardians. At the calling of the case
yesterday the small courtroom was crowd
ed. Mrs. Brown and her daughter. Mrs.
Prioleau. who, it is stated. practically
reared the child, were present.
Mrs. Brown stated that she obtained
the custody of the child through outside
parties. ostensioly from New York city,
who called upon her about the time Edith
was three months old. They had learned
she was DESTROYS of adopting child. Def
mite arrangements were made to have
Mrs. Brown adopt the white baby. which
was done in fact, but not legally. Further
than this no additional information could
be obtained, either from Mrs. Brown or
Mrs. Prioleau, concerning the identity OF
the parents of the child or who it was
who brought the little one to them
The board Of children's guardians took
the position that the home was not a Al
one for the little white girl. who is an ex-
ceptionally handsome child, and the case
was argued at some length. The court
finally decided to take the little girl away
from the family. When the decision was
announced there was a pathetic scene be-
tween the colored foster mother and the
white child at parting. The child persist
ed in saying she did not wish to leave the
family, as they had always provided
amply for her. cared for her and sent her
to a white children's school. She was
later removed to one OF the homes main
tanned by the board of children's guar
dians at 434 NJ street.
The fact that the white child was living
with colored people was learned acc,-
dentally a little over week ago. when
Edith, for some reason or other, failed to
report regularly at school. Mrs. Howell
an attendance officer. proceeded to inves-
tigate. She found the little one living al
the 7th street address with the two col
ored women. and Immediately reported
the matter to Mr.. John w. Douglas. su-
perintendent of the board, who had the
child removed to one OF the homes pending
definite disposition of the case by the
Juvenile Court.

APPOMATTOX SURRENDER.
Anniversary Observed by Encamp'
ments of Union Veterans Legion.

ments Of Union Veterans Legion.
The forty-third anniversary of the sur
render of Gen. Robert F. Lee. the Confed-
crate commander to the Union forces at
Appomattox. Va. was celebrated jointly
last night by Encampments Nos. SO and
H. Union Veterans Legion, at
Schmidt's Hall. at SIC 9th street. A long
program was given, an especial feature of
which were several national and army
life songs, which were sung by the entire
audience. The principal address was
made by Representative John ]. Esch of
Wisconsin, who spoke upon the magma
nimity of Gen. Grant in granting the
terms to the conquered Confederate forces
at the surrender
THE magnanimity and great hearted
ness of Gen. Ulysses S. Grant, more than
his military genius, impressed me with
the man." said Mr.. Esch. THE goodness
and generosity with which he treated the
beaten forces of the Confederacy stamp
him as one of the nobleSt of enemies and
the most human of men.
But the greatest of all in these trying
times was the man who behind the strug-
gle bore the brunt of criticism and suf-
fered the severest pangs of grief-A bra
ham Lincoln. Here was the greatest ex-
ample of American life and institutions.
No President had greater responsibilities,
and there was no other man who could
have performed the task so creditably."
Mr.. Esch concluded his address by read
ing the articles of capitulation between
Gems. Lee and Grant. and quoted the lat
ter's dying words, Let us have peace
Among other features of the evening
were "Reminiscences of the War" by
Mrs. Hannah B. Sperry, and the reading
of "Hamlton's Eulogy of Washington
by Col. w. w. Brown. The meeting adj
journed after the singing of the. hymn

II became known today that a case Of

the attack might have been planned
for the next night after the theft OF

fact that soldiers discovered tele-

from patrolling the roads OF the east
ern portion of the county. They first
attempted to get telephone communi-
cation with the camp at Murray and
failing started into town horseback
