She was the tone-dumb darling
of the tone-deaf
Yet she never overdid a good

concerts were presented only once
year and when she couldn't reach
a high note she blithely skipped il
while her heroic accompaniSt, Cosme

Nor was the patient Cosme the
only one whose soul was tried by the
notes she missed After full life,

left Pile-ef- bank notes IN banks
She had forgotten all about.
She also left a fortune in cash,
real estate and jewelry and again a
missing note-her last will and tes.

place.
Which puts her lawyers right in
the same hot seat Cosme held down
50 long and SO manfully.
She gave her last concert at Car.

CoSme had TO stop playing till re
pairs were made.
It was the Verdi Club that offered
her on the altar OF music each year
and she always came adorned In a
new $500 gown and 500 fan. And
when the last jarring note had died
away and the last cabbage plunkcd
on the stage. she decorated the cX
hausted Cosme with a solid gold
medal-some said for patience and
fortitude
In order that posterity might lend
a startled ear TO one OF her Murder

Madam Jenkins was always in
creasing her range and pitch. She
was nearly 20 the last time. After
taxiCab crash late in 1913 She sud
denly discovered she could Sing a
higher F than before.
But is was only more trouble for
poor Cosne The Madam sang the
note more than any other -- even
though Cosme never did find it on
his piano.
The dowager thrush was enthus-
iastic. Instead of law suit against
the taXicab company she sent a box
Of expensive cigars 10 the driver.
One Of the most eloquent apprais-
ais of her singing was written by
magazine critic after hearing a re
cording OF the dramatic Queen of the
Night from Nozart's famous compo-
sition The Magic Flute, admittedly
a difficult coloratura aria.
He found her voice akin 10 wild
wallowings in descending trills" and
her repeated staccato notes like
cuckoo in his cups
Madam Jenkins took up singing
as a career late in life.
When she decided she was ready
for the footlights she began TO look
around for a suitable accompanist
CoSme took over after 20 had failed
Then she was ready for the big
time-ahd the mighty accolade from

before an entirely Negro jury Both
principles in the case were Negroes.

was not killed and sued for $4,000
damage. The jury decided for the

This method of handling Negro
brawls is new to our knowledge and
has interesting prospects. There is
something to be said for it. For one
thing, fights are so common among
us that there are many of our people
who understand their gin and outs"
the inner motives and background.
Also, there are always many peo-
pie who know personally the par
Elephants in these fights and are
acquainted with facts that lie far
back in their lives. They can, there
fore, render decisions that have the
background of better knowledge of
the participants.
Another thought is that frequently
Negroes who are troublesome to their
Negro neighbors are so because they
"stsnd in7 with particular white
people who can influence a court de-
cision. Such Negroes pick quarrels,
bulldoze their neighbors, and are the
cause of many tragedies in the race
Negroe JURORS know these nuisances
and trouble makers among them and
and would welcome opportunities to
get rid of them. All-Negro juries
would not be perfect. They would
