TRAGEDY COMES
TO MARK TWAIN
Youngest Daughter Found Dead
in Bathtub After Attack
of Epilepsy

REDDING, Conn, Dec. 24.-Mark
Twains invalid daughter, Jean, met
death tragically this morning while
bathing. bringing reignant grief at
Christmas time to Stormfeld, the
country home of the great American
author.
She was his youngest daughter en-
deared to him not only by. long COM
partnership but by her frail health,
caused by recurrent attacks of epi-
lepsy. Her death leaves Clemens with
out kin in this county to share his sor-
row, for his surviving daughter, Clara,
was recently married to Ossip Gabrilo-
witsch, Russian pianist, and is on
her way to Europe
Jean Clemens died not directly from
drowning, as was first supposed but
more probably of strangulation due to
an attack of epilepsy or from heart
failure. The body was found in the
bathtub with the head only partly sub
merged, and medical examination to-
night showed that the lungs contained
little water.
Miss Clemens has shown physical
WEAKNESS Of late, probably induced by
the excitement incident to her sisters
departure and the recent return of her
father from Bermuda But yesterday
afternoon she rode her favorite horse
to the postoffice to get the early Christ
mas mail and last night she cheer
fully prepared Christmas tree, from
which she had planned to distribute
gifts tomorrow morning.
On retiring she asked her maid to
call her early and when she arose this
morning she went to the bathroom,
where her lifeless body was found
later Her failure to respond to the
maids knocking on the door revealed
her death. With characteristic phil
osophy Mark Twain is bearing up
bravely.
Jean Clemens was 80 years old and
was her fathers close companion.

CHRISTMAS CAROLS
ARE HEARD AGAIN
Former Custom Revived for First
Time Since San Francisco
Was Laid Waste

The old custom of having the Christ
mas carols sung in the downtown ho-
tells was revived last night at the Fair
mont and Palace hotels by choir Of
boys and girls from the Holy Inno-
cents church under the direction of
Rev. II. B. Collier
The announcement that the songs
that have their inspiration in glorify-
ing the child Christ were to be sung
in the lobbies of the hotels attracted
large crowd The children were
gowned in cassock and surplice and
their religious demeanor and sweetIy
blended voices contrasted sharply with
the ordinary aspect of hotel life.
The Fairmont was the first hotel Wis
tied. A procession was formed. and
with their hymnbooks in hand the chill
dren sang "Ye Faithful. Approach Ye.,
The children formed a cross and.
kneeling. caroled while Shepherds
Watched Their Flocks by Night.
Later the choristers visited the Pal
ace. where even a greater crowd list
CACu " their SOHES- IN the great court
the boys and girls marched singing
Onward, Christian Soldiers" and the
strong second of Rev. Mr.. Collier min
gled well with the treble of his youth
full choir.
Not since the fire have the Christmas
carols been heard in the downtown Ho-.
tells and the return of the old custom
was received with reverential enthusi-
asm.
In both hotels a collection was taken
up and handsome sum netted for
Christmas gifts for the choristers.
The chorus was made up of Albert
Hoffman and Albert Foster. erucifiers;

Especial Dispatch 10 The Call
NEW YORK, Dec. 24.-David Belasco
was in great rage today against
Colonel Henry I. Kowalsky, attorney for

ing the name of Nance ONeiI after her
great emotional scene in s.The Lily last
night two process servers, under pre-
tense of being Miss O'Neilrs friends, got
pas the stage door keeper and, ac-
cording to David Belasco, forced their
way into the actress dressing room and
served her with an injunction.
Miss O'Neill was only partly dressed
when the intrusion occurred She was
greatly excited and on the verge of
collapse when Belasco came to her
rescue.
Belasco said today:
'The conduct of the process servers in
Miss o'Neill's dressing room was brutal
and unlawful. 1t all happened so sud
denly that they made their escape be-
fore my employees had chance to
throw them out of the theater l would
have given nights receipts to do
that 'bouncer' job myself
''This man Rankin has no claim on
Miss O'Neilrs services. But now that
he shows he would winfully have
ruined Miss O'NeilIs opening l will
give this whole matter an airing /
am willing to pay his lawyers, fees to
have it brought to an issue"

Suffrage Qualifications.

The Chattanooga Times very
truly remarks that "discrimina-
tion in favor of the ignorant
white man is a virtual admission
that we are afraid to trust that
class in honest competition with
with the man of color; in other
words. we put a premium on
white illiteracy and offer a prize
to the negro who improves his
opportunity and cures himself of
his ignorance" Such discrimina-
ton should never be more than
temporary; an unwilling recog-
milton Of a hard practical and
political necessity attending the
adoption Of suffrage measures
rendered unobjectionable by their
own terms after a certain period.
The fifteenth amendment to the
constitution of the United States
was dictated by fanaticism, re-
venge and political scheming; its
enactment was procured by force
and fraud; but notifications of it
should not on these accounts be
altogether reckless. Our Chatta-
nooga contemporaries objection
from the white mans standpoint
is thoroughly sound; besides, the
colored man who acquires educa-
ton, property and taxpaying
status has rights in the matter
apparent to any fair mind. We
are thankful that racial discrimi-
nation, so far as persons here
after coming of age are concern
ed, has already vanished from
the laws Of North Carolina. -

ENROLMENT OF CITY SCHOOLS.
SuperlniendenrS Report Shows Batch
OF Interesting Fi0ureS,

The report Of Superintendent
Carmichael, of the city schools,
for the past month shows a total
enrolment of 8, O59 pupils, Of this
number 1869 are enrolled in the
white schools and 1,090 in the
colored. In the white schools
there are enrolled 994 girls and
$50 boys. In the colored schools
there are 638 girls and 452 boys.
The enrolment by schools is as
follows:
The high school girls, 222;
boys. 1888. Total, 41O.
The Morehead school Girls,
265; boys, 213. Total 425.
The Fuller SCHOOLGIRLS, l72;
boys, 180. Total 352.
The North Durham school
Girls, 128; boys, SO. Total 227.
The Whitted school-G Girls, 395;
boys, 274. Total $50.
The West End SCHOOLGIRLS,
243; boys, 178. Total 421.
The daily attendance during
the entire session has been un-
usually good. A noticeable fea-
ture Of the report is the large
number of boys enrolled. In
this respect statistics will show
that the Durham schools have an
enviable record. The record is
equally good in the percentage
of the enrolment in the high
school. Twenty-one per cent of
all the pupils enrolled in the
schools are in the high school.
An interesting feature of the
industrial work done in the ne
gro school is baskets of many
shapes and sizes made of rush, a
kind of grass gathered by the
pupils in marshy places near the
city. A large lot of mission fur.
niture recently completed in the
shop of the colored schools re-
fleets credit upon the school. A
part of this work will soon be
placed on exhibit up town where
it may be easily seen and it will
give some idea of the training
the schools are giving.
