The article in the last edition
of The Forum with reference to
colored property owners keeping
their premises in good condition
as being one of the solutions to
the race problem, we accept as
being true. 1t tells its own
story. 1t is true, white people
do not want to live by TIE side of
colored people, nor does decent
colored man want to live by
the side of a filthy colored
man, hence you can't blame
the white man for not wanting to
live by him.-East End Man.

Woman Carried BY Her Station /
Awarded Damages.

Austin, Texas, May 20.-The court
of civil appeals yesterday affirmed
the case of T. ]. Freeman, receiver
for the International and Great North
ern railway, against w. w. Pickett,

senger on the road from San Antonio
to Buda, on account of the failure of
the train to stop at Buda, her desti-

ped and she was required to walk

injuries complained of. She recover

In affirming the case, the court says:
1--WE think where a carrier has, by
reason of its failure to stop a rea.
sonable length of time, carried a pas

be allowed to defend against an action
brought for injuries thereby occasion
ed, Notwithstanding the fact that the
passenger, on account of its negli
gence, may have voluntarily left the
train with a view of returning to the
station"

new PLEA FOR GENTRY
Former Actor May Be Granted a Par
don-Served Thirteen Years For
Numbering His Sweetheart.
(Herald Specially

Harrisburg, Pa, May 21.-As a re-
suit of persistent efforts by friends
in this and other states, the case of
James B. Gentry, the actor, who is
serving a life sentence in the peni-
tertiary at Philadelphia, came up for
a hearing today before the state board
of pardons. The application for a
pardon was refused once, but that
was a number of years ago, and the
many friends of the former actor are
hopeful of better results this time
Gentry, who was we'll and favorably
known in the theatrical profession,
killed his actress sweetheart, Madge
York, in a Philadelphia hotel. The
young woman was playing in Phila-
delphia at the time and Gentry came
over from New York to see her.
Through a misunderstanding she fail
ed to meet him at the station. This
aroused a feeling of jealousy in Gen
try, and under the Influence of drink
he sought out his sweetheart and
after short quarrel shot and killed
her. He was convicted and sentenced
to death in 1896, but the sentence was
commuted to life imprisonment
Prior to the murder Gentry was
known as loyeable, good natured
young man, and during the many
years of his Imprisonment his friends
have never ceased their efforts in his
behalf The application for his par
don is signed by prominent men all
over the state, including nearly the
entire legislature. The plea is that
Gentry was insane at the time, and
that thirteen years Imprisonment is
sufficient punishment.
