FOSTER FATHER Court Rules That Pa- Abandoned Boy When Six Months Old Shall No From Guardianship of Gave Him Home. TRENTON, N. J., Dec. 16.—e and colored people from Mount Holly crowded the court of chancery to hear the unusual case of a white husband of a colored woman in an appeal for custody of a little colored boy whom he had cared for as a son since infancy. His appeal was successful and the boy will be taken from his colored parents and given over to the care of the man who acted as his guardian almost his entire life. George Tomlinson, a painter, 197 Chestnut street, Mount Holly, about thirty years ago married a young colored woman and they have had four children, all girls. Tomlinson desired a little boy and when about ten years ago, Harvey Still, colored, was arrested and his wife ran away, leaving a baby boy six months old with no one to care for him, a neighbor took him to the Tomlinson home, where he has since lived and has come to be regarded as one of the family. The Stills some time ago became reunited and decided they would like to have their son, now ten years old, to live with them. Tomlinson, however refused to consider parting with the youngster, and his parents accordingly had recourse to legal proceedings. The fight between the Tomlinsons and the Stills for the boy has aroused intense interest in Mount Holly, and sympathy generally has been with Tomlinson, a man of fifty years, who enjoys a good reputation in the town. Tomlinson will immediately begin efforts to recover the custody and will go to New York and employ detectives to aid him in his search.

Leach, a prominent physician of this city, to take active part in the united charity drive for $72,500 for the benefit of the poor. The drive was conducted by the Chamber of Commerce, of which Dr. Leach and several other colored men are prominent members. CHURCH GIVES PRIZE FOR SCHOLARSHIP (By the Associated Negro Press) HAMPTON, Va., Dec. 16.—St. Philip's Church of New York, a colored Episcopalian church which recently celebrated the one hundredth anniversary of its incorporation as a parish, has given to Hampton Institute money for a prize, which will be awarded next spring to the member of the senior class who has the highest scholarship record.

Dr. Hutchins C. Bishop, rector of St. Philip's church, who spoke on "The Right Kind of Leadership." Dr. Bishop said: "Any group of people must look for leadership to men of outstanding ability—men not only of intellectual acquaintments, but men also versed in secular affairs—men of capacity for doing things that need to be done. I suppose there never was a time in the history of the world when men of this type were so much needed as they are today.

(By the Associated Negro Press) WASHINGTON, Dec. 16.—The resolution introduced in the house of representatives on the opening day of the short session of congress by Representative George Holden Tinkham of Massachusetts proposing to cut down the representation of the southern states in order to "do political justice to all the state in the union" is of much interest to the colored people throughout the United States since such a resolution is a vital thrust at the flagrant violations of the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments to the constitution of the United States. In a statement with invective against the way, he declares, the constitution has been defied, Representative Tinkham threatens that if the house attempts to make a reapportionment under the 1920 census, "which is plainly unconstitutional by avoiding the enforcement of the fourteenth amendment," he intends to appeal to the supreme court to decide the constitutionality of the next house. He declares his determination to make it his first and principal duty in congress to work for the "restoration of political equality and justice in the United States." Representative Tinkham explains that "under the constitution representatives in congress are apportioned every ten years in accordance with the population of the several states, but congress is directed to reduce the representation of any state in proportion to the disfranchisement of any of its citizens." CROWNS HIMSELF "KING." (By the Associated Negro Press) NEW YORK, Dec. 16.—Wearing a crown of brass with tinsel trimmings, Paul Bishop caused no little excitement in the Harlem district Friday afternoon. Bishop was discovered shouting excitably in West 134th street, declaring that he had been appointed by God a king to redeem the world from sin and wickedness. He was arrested by Officer William Boyden and later sent to the observation ard for insane at Bellevue hospital. OMAHA, NEBRASKA, DECEMBER 16, 1920 CHARGED BUFFALO ATTORNEY HELD GIRL IN SLAVERY An Almost Incredible and Startling Story of Involuntary Servitude Has Just Been Disclosed in One of America's Most Populous and Progressive Cities—Claimed Child Brought From South Has Served Eighteen Years as Virtual Slave—Kept From Contact With Race SOCIETIES INTERESTED IN REMARKABLE CASE Will Go Into Court in Effort to Collect Wages Claimed to Be Due Young Woman, Who Is Now Twenty-four Years of Age, and Punish Man Who Is Alleged to Have Kept Her in Servitude and Violated the Constitution—Other Serious Charges Are Involved (By The Associated Negro Press) BUFFALO, N. Y., Dec. 16. -The citi zens of Buffalo have been shaken by the uncovering of a crime here, which has been hidden for 18 years. One of Buffalo's white attorneys went south and brought back a little colored girl six years old. She has lived in his family ever since. But that was 18 years ago. Last week a 24 year old colored woman none other than this former little girl ran away from her master, for it has developed that she has been the servant of that family all these years without pay. She has never been inside of a church or even spoken to a colored person. She has been doing all the work of the family of nine adults — washing, ironing, scrubbing, cooking, cleaning—without pay. When this child was 14 years old she was criminally assaulted by JAPAN DOES NOT PRESS ISSUE (By the Associated Negro Press) GENEVA, Dec. 16—Viscount Kikujiro Ishii, head of the Japanese delegation at the league of nations meeting, announced that Japan will not press the resolution for "racial equality" at this time, but will defer it in confidence that justice will later prevail in this matter. (By the Associated Negro Press) CHATTANOOGA, Tenn., Dec. 16.—At the democratic conference in Nashville, Attorney General Chamlee was one of the speakers. The Tennesseean, in reporting his remarks, published the following: "Attorney General George W. Chamlee of Hamilton spoke as a high private in the rear rank and pledged the support of the men and women democrats of the Third district to the end that the republicans be driven from power. He was vigorous in his denunciation of the republicans and alleged mobilization of Negroes in Hamilton and in Chattanooga, and charged that the defeat of Congressman Moon was due to the heavy Negro vote. "Three "blackbird districts" "some white man," gave birth to a child in the Buffalo poor house, but as soon as she was able she was taken back to the home of her "slave master," and here she stayed until last of which Mrs. Mary T.

Characterizing the republican victory in the state and the Third district as a direct challenge to white supremacy in the South, Mr. Chamlee intimated that the legislators might take it upon themselves to 'tighten up' the election laws so as to prevent a repetition of practices complained of." JAPANESE NEWSPAPER (By the Associated Negro Press) TOKIO, Dec. 16.—The Nichi Nichi has announced a speech made at the Roosevelt club in Boston recently by United States Senator Henry Cabot Lodge, in which Senator Lodge declared that the United States, Australia, Canada and New Zealand should have an agreement to retard Asiatic immigration. The newspaper says one would think the world was created for the white race alone and declares that the Japanese should demand the same rights to migrate as the whites. The American people are characterized by the Nichi Nichi as being more dangerous to the world than are the yellow race. Subscribe for The Monitor. Vol. VI. No. 25 (Whole No. 285) ```markdown ``` (By the Associated Negro Press) BALTIMORE, Md., Dec. 16.—Although he was shot six times in four days while resisting arrest on two occasions, the spirit of Climon Murrell is not broken, and physicians at South Baltimore general hospital, where he is being treated, say he will recover. When Justice Rotee and Lieutenant Strott went to the hospital to receive Murrell's dying statement they found him in a surly, and insubordinate mood. Murrell was shot three times in the chest by Patrolman Crone during a battle in a pawnshop, in which he nearly chewed off the policeman's finger. He was shot three times more in the abdomen by Patrolman Staplenon after he had taken away the policeman's blackjack and had struck him over the head with it several times. NORTH CAROLINA GOVERNOR APPOINTS COMMISSION Will Recommend Measures for Betterment of Race in That State—Several Prominent Men Among Group. (Special to The Monitor) RALEIGH, N. C., Dec. 16.—The commission appointed by Governor Blickett, by authority of the general assembly, to study the needs of the Negroes of the state and present recommendations for legislation, met in Raleigh for the first time last week, and after a discussion of the general problem adjourned until the call of the governor. The commission is composed of Representative W. N. Everett of Rocking, Senator G. V. Cowper of Kinston, Mr. L. R. Varser of Lumberton, S. G. Atkins of Winston-Salem and A. M. Moore of Durham. Professor S. G. Atkins is principal of the Slater Normal and Industrial school in Winston-Salem, one of the South's most noted institutions. This school was founded by Dr. Atkins and for the exception of a brief period he has been its continuous principal. He is a product of St. Augustine's Normal and Collegiate Institute, Raleigh, N. C., having been the classmate of the Right Rev. Henry Beard Delany, D. D., bishop suffragan of North Carolina, one of the only four of our race ever promoted to that position in the Episcopal church in the United States. Dr. Atkins holds the degree of doctor of philosophy from one of the most noted white colleges in the east. He is very influential in North Carolina and is highly respected by all citizens of that state. The governor showed rare wisdom in selecting him for this commission. Dr. A. M. Moore of Durham is another noted member of our race selected on the governor's commission. Dr. Moore is a member of the Durham Mutual and Provident Insurance company, the largest institution of its kind among the colored people. He is the company's examining physician in the home office and is a man of considerable means. He is a graduate of Shaw University, Raleigh, N. C. The commission will undertake to investigate the conditions among the colored people and advise on the proper method of promoting better relations between both races in this state. LIFTING. LIFT, TOO! JAPAN DROPS RACE ISSUE FOR PRESENT Delegates to the League of Nations Conference Not to Press Resolution on Present Assembly, But Will Await More Opportune Time. LEADER OF DELEGATION MAKES POSITION PLAIN While Not Surrendering Belief That "Equality Should Be Assured to All Men. Irrespective of Nationality, Race and Religion," He Waives Issue Temporarily. GENEVA, Dec. 16.—Viscount Kikujiro Ishii, head of the Japanese delegation at the league of nations meeting, announced that Japan will not press the resolution for racial equality at the present session of the league assembly. Viscount Ishii addressed the assembly following a report on the work accomplished by the committee on organization which was read by A. J. Balfour. "Japan had an opportunity when the league covenant was framed to declare her firm belief in equality before the law," said the Japanese statesman. "We believe that equality should be assured to all men, irrespective of nationality, race and religion. "The Japanese government and people deeply regretted the original framers of the league covenant refused to accept the Japanese proposition. Japanese delegates gave notice they would continue to insist upon adoption of the proposal. "However, in view of the present circumstances, Japan is strongly persuaded that the league is in a stage where consolidation, organization and actual workings, based upon the present covenant, should be accorded greater attention and deeper deliberation than questions relating to a fundamental principle which might involve revision of the covenant. "From that point of view, Japan is refraining from making any concrete proposal at the assembly on the question of equal rights and equal opportunity. Japan will patiently bide her time until a more opportune moment." SAMPLE OF "SOCIAL EQUALITY" The Kind to Which Certain "Gentlemen," Who Prate About Supremacy. Do Not Object SAVANNAH, Ga., Dec. 16.—Efforts of the police to clean out the vice district of this city, this week resulted in the rounding up of Rev. C. B. McDaniels, prominent white evangelist of Atlanta, Ga. The resort has one of the worst reputations in the city and Rev. McDaniels was nabbed while entwined in the arms of one of the dark skinned "vamps." He was hauled into a cell of the city jail and later asked to be tried by a jury of preachers. His excuse was that he was conducted to the house by a hackman to whom he had applied for a quiet place to rest, and that he was unacquainted with the sections of the city. When asked what he was doing in the room with the vampire, Rev. McDaniels hesitated for a moment, and was fined $100.

Enthusiastic and intense interest among the members and friends mark this approaching event. The growth of this organization of Negro college women seems almost incredible. In seven short years this fraternity has created charters at nine representative American colleges, a chapter of graduate members at Howard University, and a grand chapter of the sorority. Its members now are counted by the scores and include many prominent and influential women among the honorary members. This sorority has been a great factor in the college life of Negro girls and portends to become an even greater influence and power in their lives at college and after the good old college days. The chapter list reads as follows: Alpha chapter, Howard University; Beta chapter, Wilberforce university; Gamma chapter, University of Pennsylvania; Delta chapter, University of Iowa; Epsilon chapter, Ohio State University; Zeta chapter, University of Cincinnati; Eta chapter, University of Syracuse, and Theta chapter, Cornell University. MOREHOUSE COLLEGE (By the Associated Negro Press) ATLANTA, Ga., Dec. 16.—Among the strong "grid" teams of the 1920 football season, Morehouse College has figured conspicuously. Fighting from beginning to end of every one of its six scheduled games, the plucky little Atlanta college undisputably won the championship of the South and proved itself to be stronger than most of the colored colleges of the east. Paine College of Augusta, Ga., was not able to withstand the aerial attack of the Morehouse Tigers and fell a victim to the count of 21-0. The Augusta aggregation, however, held the Atlantans to a scoreless tie in the first half. Morris Brown College was unable to do more than prevent Morehouse from piling up a score larger than 21-0. For the third game of the season, the much heralded Fisk eleven journeyed to Atlanta and, after a valiantly fought battle, went home with the short end of a 24-13 score. The Tennesseans could not withstand the withering, wearing attack of the Morehouse forwards. Virginia Union University of Richmond, Va., was the only team capable of registering a victory over the Tigers—much scarred after their battle with Fisk—the captain, both ends and a halfback nursing injuries on the TO EASTERN PARISH (By the Associated Negro Press) LOUISVILLE, Ky., Dec. 16.—Rev. LeRoy Ferguson, for a number of years rector of the Church of Our Merciful Savior, has accepted a call to the Church of St. Cyprian in Boston. This is a decidedly upward step for Rector Ferguson, because St. Cyprian is one of the largest Episcopalian churches among our people. Rector Ferguson came to Louisville fifteen or sixteen years ago. He has always stood for progress. The new church edifice and parish house at Eleventh and Walnut streets are monuments to his energy and ability to do things. Rector Ferguson also did great work in the late war and served with the Y. M. C. A. forces in france. OF GEORGIA LYNCHINGS DETROIT, Mich., Dec. 16.—A map of Georgia, upon which appeared more than 500 black dots, each dot marking the place of a lynching during the past 30 years, was reproduced by attorneys who represented Tom Ray wanted in Georgia for shooting a planter. Ray, who was arrested here, is fighting extradition, alleging that if he were returned to Georgia he would be lynched. The map was produced in the extradition hearing. Ray declared he shot the white planter after the latter had attempted to take his life. The feeling against him is so intense, he asserted, that a lynching would follow his return. It has been demonstrated that seaweed, after the salt has been extracted by a specific process, forms excellent food for horses and that the animals evidently enjoy it. Experienced Printer. "Our new company is capitalized at $50,000,000." "Great! Let me see your prospectus." "Oh, we haven't got out a prospectus yet. The confounded printer wants his pay in advance." -Boston Transcript. DOTS ON MAP TELL Food for Horses sidelines. The Richmond team, however, hung a 7-0 defeat on Morehouse after three scoreless periods. Morehouse was at least four touchdowns better than her arch rivals, Atlanta University. The score, 24-14, does not show how decisively Morehouse proved herself victor. The Thanksgiving classic played with Knoxville College at Knoxville, Tenn., did little other than crown a series of Morehouse victories. Even on their own field, the Tennesseeans were unable to check the avalanche of scores that snowed them under to the tune of 28-0 and sent the Tigers back to Atlanta with the prize football in tow. The individual skill of several of the Morehouse players contributed no mean amount to the superior brand of football displayed by the Tiger eleven. At right end, Caesar Gayles was a tower of strength both in cutting off dangerous end runs of the opponents and in handling his own teammates' passes. At center, Harris was almost impassable. He clearly outplayed all his opponents with his uncanny ability to solve the opponents' plays and to break up forward passes. C. Kelley at quarter, Perkins at right half, Lipscom at guard and Pickett at left end also deserve mention. (By the Associated Negro Press) WASHINGTON, Dec. 16.—Coach Morrison of Howard University is perfecting plans for another championship eleven next season. None of this year's eleven will be lost by graduation. Emmason (Duke) Fuller was elected captain for 1921. Those presented with the varsity H and who will return to the squad for next season are: George (Fido) Williams, left end; Duke Fuller, left tackle; Dennis Smith, guard; Edward Hurt, end; Albert Brook, tackle; Lorenzo arter, quartback; Charles Brannon, Doneghay and Paye, backfield men of the first eleven; Long, Jackson, Baylor, Holton, Crawford, Camper, Gardianer, linemen; Keane, Perry, Conte, Downing, backfield men, all of the second team; Sewell, Johnson, Woods, Haines, Melton, F. Williams, linemen; Hardwick and Molson, backfield men of the third team, and Richardson, Fitzgerald, Bledsoe, Parnell, Houser and Blockmen, substitutes. With the season just closed proving that the blue and white squad had one of the most formidable teams in its history, the students and alum i of the university are looking forward to another championship team next season, especially with the material that is available. This year has been the greatest in the history of Howard both in number of games won and financially. Much credit is due Hon. Emmett J. Scott, secretary-treasurer of the institution, who is responsible for America's greatest society event. Crazy Surgeon Kills Woman Under Knife Berlin.—The remarkable case of a doctor going insane during an operation is reported from Schwerin. Councilor Surgeon Gebhard, while performing a minor operation on a woman, suddenly was seized with the hallucination he was in a clinic dissecting a cadaver. Doctor Gebhard accordingly cut up the woman, who died on the table. On another occasion he cut off a soldier's arm and then failed to take measures to prevent the soldier from bleeding to death. Doctor Gebhard now is in a Berlin sanatorium. REBUILD THEIR RAZED HOME French Family of 16 Capture Prize of 15,000 Francs Offered by Norman Davis. Lens, France.—The Duborepere family of the little village of Meteren, near here, has been awarded the prize of 15,000 francs, given by Norman Davis of Washington through Mme. Jusserand, wife of the French ambassador, for the family which should rebuild its destroyed house in the devastated region without the assistance of carpenters, masons and other expert building workers. The material was furnished by the David fund through the Secours d'Urgence and in three months the house was finished. The Doborepere family consists of father, mother and 16 children, all living. Experts say the house is worth over 50,000 francs. The material cost 15,000.

MEMBER OF THE ASSOCIATED MAGRO PRESS WHO WILL BEAR THE BURDEN? A VERY important question which it will be well for our people to bear in mind in the location of play-grounds is "Who will bear the burden of taxation?" It must not be overlooked that the cost of playgrounds, wherever they may be located, will be assessed against the property in that zone and taxpayers whose property is adjacent or contiguous to the playground will be more heavily assessed than that which is not quite so near. It is therefore, quite evident that the more costly the ground condemned and appropriated for playgrounds may be the heavier will be the taxation. It ought also be evident upon whom the burden will fall. The Monitor favors playgrounds for all the children of the city and desires to see them located at the most advantageous points where they can and will be frequented by all classes of children who need the contact and association which will help in the great work of democratization and Americanization which is one of the greatest tasks and most supreme duties before every American community. IS THIS POSSIBLE? THE MONITOR publishes in this issue a dispatch from the Associated Negro Press which seems incredible. It is the story of a girl who has been held in virtual slavery in Buffalo, N. Y., for eighteen years. It is difficult to believe that such a thing were possible. The general reliability of the press bureau releasing this story is our justification for its publication. At the same time we must admit that there are certain features in connection with it which strain our credibility. We shall await further particulars concerning this remarkable case and watch for the outcome. The people of Buffalo who are interested are of the class who go to the bottom of any case which demands investigation. RECOGNITION THE Monitor has been assured by some of the successful candidates in the recent election that our group is to receive recognition in the matter of appointments and positions. It will be recalled The Monitor stressed the fact before election that in return for our support substantial recognition should be given our people as a matter of simple justice. We are therefore glad to say that assurances have been given that this will be done. OUR POSITION APPROVED THE Monitor is gratified at the many expressions of approval of our position on the commission form of government as it operates in Omaha and our contention that the direct councilmanic form is better as centralizing authority and securing needed improvements. There can be no denial of the fact that if we had councilmen elected from the various wards and directly responsible to their constituents in those wards the unsightly, impassable, junk—bestrewn and poorly lighted streets which disgrace certain sections of this city would be impossible. The improvements would not be centered, as they are now in outlying districts where the wealthier classes reside, and sadly neglected, as tey are now, where the humbler citizens have their homes. An ordinance gives the commissioners authority to pave and make improvements within the mile and a half limit without awaiting petition from or consent of taxpayers within that district. Improvements are not made and the cry of no funds is raised while funds are found for improvements in the wealthier sections. Give us the councilmanic system with direct responsibility and improvements will be more quickly obtained and more equitably distributed. The city should be improved from the center outward and not from the extremities inward. 4 ADVICES tell us that millions of children are dying and will diff from starvation in China, Armenia and many European countries unless America sends them aid. We know that our warm-hearted group of people will give generously to relieve the sufferings of these little ones. We have, as a people, always been willing to share our last loaf with those in need, and none of us will allow any to perish with hunger if our sharing with them our food will prevent it. The cries of starving children are ringing in our ears from lands beyond the seas and we will do our part to keep them from perishing from hunger. PRESIDENT-ELECt Harding has announced that he is willing to form some association of nations which will carry out as far as possible the objects contemplated by the League of Nations. It seems to us that America can best conserve the peace of the world by so treating all her citizens that the nations can point to us as an ideal government where peace and prosperity reign supreme. Our precept and example will then be so potent that our righteous moral leadership will weigh tremendously in the settlement of international questions and make for maintenance of equity and right between and among the nations of the world. NOW is the time, the place and the moment, to ease off our chests a little sermon upon refinement. Nearly everybody in America has heard about refinement and they generally suppose that it is some sort of antique animal that stands stuffed in the state museum. They never seem to think that refinement is a sort of implement to be hitched up to everyday life and to be used constantly. But it is. Refinement is an invisible characteristic very necessary to the human economy. It never makes much noise either in public or private, but it has a way of easing its possessor along with a smoothness like the ball bearings in an auto wheel move the chassis. No roughneck ever did get far in this world of macaroni and cheese. While we admit that what the colored race needs is more than any human per simmon ever tried to figure, we also admit that one of the most necessary accessories, as it were, is a few doses of refinement. For one thing, the race should soft pedal that noisy grafanoi known as the human voice. The song NEILSONIA SKIN OINTMENT A 30-minute Instant Greaseless Bleach.

THE MONITOR writer who remarked that "the black man makes it thunder every time he hollers loud," was closer to the naked little truth than we wot of. In fact, he almost caught the lady getting out of her bath tub. Then there is the folly of always carrying a chip on your shoulder. Perhaps we should say a two-by-four on your shoulder, because you seem to always want somebody to knock it off. When nobody does you're disappointed and knock it off yourself. There is nothing refined about that. In fact, it is breeding of the basest blue or black or some other dark color. Refinement, in other words, is the making of a lady or gentleman. It is one of the fine arts and should get consideration from our folks instead of wallops and swollen eyes. Suppose we try and cultivate it a little. It doesn't cost anything. It is the one thing that old hicost missed by a mile. WHAT THE EDITORS SAY OMAHA'S ENTERPRISEING NEGROES An item in The Bee is commended to the especial attention of all its readers. It tells of the election of officers of the Colored Commercial club. This should serve to impress on all the fact that the Negroes of Omaha are not all of the type who so frequently figure in police court records, whose lives are not given to crap shooting or jazz dancing. As a matter of real truth this element is the lesser part of the colored population of the city, both in numbers and importance. The others intelligent, educated, industrious, enterprising Negroes, seldom are heard from, because they go about their own business, attend to the affairs entrusted to them and carry on in the sober way that makes for good citizenship. In the list of officers of the club as presented—and the organization is not a new affair, but has long passed the experimental stage—are names that many business men will recognize as those of responsible, capable citizens; preachers, doctors and lawyers are included, ample evidence of the quality of life that really does mark the advancement of the colored race and its contribution to the population and growth of the city. The Colored Commercial club not only denotes the aspiration of its members, but the established fact that it represents substantial men and women whose presence in the community is not a menace or a matter for regret. With its present roster of officers and committee chairmen, it should go forward to better service, not only for the colored people but for Omaha.—The Bee, Dec. 8, 1920.

Man Who Boasted of Having Been In Thirty Jails Gets Wealth. Robert W. Patton's penchant for jails has brought him luck. He probably will share half of a $60,000 estate, according to relatives who found him through a published interview which he gave to a reporter when he sought winter lodging at a jail in Concordia, Kan. Patton had been arrested for vagrancy and told officers he had served in 30 jails so far this year. He expressed the hope of bettering his record before the end of the year. Then Patton's sister at Seward, Neb., who had not heard from him for eight years, read of his longing for jail life and hastened to Concordia with an attorney. County officials there were not hospitable, however, and refused to board Patton. As a result he continued his quest for a nice warm jail for the winter season, and went to Chester, Neb., where he was accommodated. Patton was located by his sister there. He will be taken to Lincoln, where the estate will be divided. The attorney told officials in Concordia that the will provided that Patton must appear before January 1, 1921, or forfelt his rights to the estate. Patton has not decided whether he will accept the fortune or continue his search for a comfortable jail. CUTTING THIRD TEETH Aged Man Is Also Renewing His Youth. The adage that there is nothing new under the sun has been disproved by N. D. Starr of Memphis, who has cut a third set of teeth at the age of eighty-four, when usually the new molars, bicuspidis, etc., that can be achieved are those purchased from a dentist. Mr. Starr, who is in the employ of the Memphis Artesian Water company, recently found himself in need of a set of these artificial substitutes for the teeth provided by nature. But when he visited the dentist the price was too high and he decided to go toothless. However, through one of the unaccountable happenings which sometimes upsets all rules, Starr discovered that he was cutting 12 new teeth. They are almost through now, although they are not very useful yet, owing to the fact that his guns are sore in a fashion familiar to all mothers of teething infants, or to boys and girls whose second teeth are replacing their baby teeth, and even the older boys and girls who proudly announce: "I'm cutting a wisdom tooth."

Patrolman John Campbell of the Malden force saw the woman walking with eyes wide open and gazing straight ahead. He followed her and with Patrolman John Murphy placed himself in her path and she bumped into them. The woman screamed and seemed very frightened. Answering inquiries the woman said she is a nurse and frequently suffers from somnambulism when her nervous system is overwrought white on trying nursing cases. She said she was absolutely asleep up to the time the officers stopped her. The officers took her to the station and after questioning her brought her back to the house where she is nursing a very sick person. SHOWS RED TO COWS Things Then Happen, but Railway Line Is Cleared. Bull fights are against the law in New Hampshire, but these were cows. It happened when a flock of cows with "one track minds" congregated on the Boston & Maine line between Portsmouth N. H., and York Harbor and refused to permit a train to pass. Finally a brakeman armed with a red flag assumed the role of toreader. Whirling the flag around his head, he started across the field. With heads down and tails up they started after him. He was doing about twenty miles an hour but the herd was gaining and he was rapidly losing his taste for cow fighting. Then he circled back of the train and caught the last car as it whirled past.

COLORED COMMERCIAL CLUB Executive Committee Holds Enthusi- astic and Suecessful Meeting—Out- lines Plans for Progressive Work. ‘The executive committee of the Col- ored Commereial club held an inter- esting and enthusiastic meeting at the club rooms last Thursday night, Pres- ident Pryor presided. Nearly the full membership was present. The presi- dent officially announced the chair- men of the respective standing com- mittees, all of whom accepted. Mrs. Grace M. Hutten, who has been serv- ing so efficiently as assistant commis- sioner, was elected commissioner. The club was requested to take action con- cerning the location of a playground between Twenty-fourth and Twenty- fifth streets and between Grant and Lake streets. A resolution disapprov- ing of this site was submitted. This elicited a general discussion. The consensus of opinion unanimously fa- vored a playground, but opposed its location in any territory or place that would mak@ it in fact exclusively a class playground. The matter was finally referred to a special commit- tee for investigation, with instruc- tions to report at the next meeting of the executive committee. A member- ship campaign was ordered put under way and other important business wa transacted, outlining plans for pro- cressive constructive work. Subscribe for The Monitor. Phone Ty. @8?

NEW FALL STYLES NEW FALL STYLES Light and Airy Colors Is Prediction for Season. Designers Are Endeavoring to Eliminate Lines Which Will Give Wearer Broad Appearance. Tea time in fashionable places is a most fascinating hour this time of the year, as we are all tired of sport clothes and this affords an opportunity of seeing something decidedly new in little afternoon frocks, according to a fashion authority. It is going to continue to be a fall season of light alry colors—cream lace for afternoon wear and black lace for evening wear—quite the reverse of what we have been accustomed to. A charming frock worn at ten by a blonde miss was deep eern pussy willow taffeta and an overdress of fishnet lace in cream color. A wide ribbon girdle with immense bow and streamer ends in the back was of wide ribbon in light tobacco brown. The whole dress carried three tones of the lighter shades of brown beautifully blended. The hat worn was one of the newer models, a medium-sized rolling brim. It was a brown duvetyn, beautifully hand embroidered in several oriental shades. The crown, semi-Tam O'Shanter effect, was of silver metallic embroidery trimmed on one side with a soft bow of glossy brown satin ribbon. Black lace certainly reigns supreme for semlevening affairs. Whether a coat is long or short, wide or narrow at the bottom, or a wrap of conservative rich velvet or any other popular material, the designers are endeavoring to eliminate --- ```markdown ``` TRAGO T.

The majority of suit coats are almost knee length, many unbelted and slightly flaring at the bottom, but not rippled, although a few show pointed insets of contrasting materials. One suit was most novel, showing a cape instead of a coat. The skirt was made on plain, straight lines, the material being rusty gold-colored duvetyn, the bottom finished with a five-inch band of the same material in dull delft blue duvetyn and around the bottom was a band of the gold-colored duvetyn put on underneath as a facing and it had no other lining. The large draped collar was of the same material as the skirt proper. Suit collars generally are not as large as last season. The choker types coming in strongly, especially if made of fur, are pulled through a loop, giving a double-breasted effect, but on capes they appear very large and draped quite full, whether made of fur or material. While set-in sleeves predominate many are showing the kimono and wrap style. Raglan or semiraglan with a single seam in the back or front, or one piece are also found. The bell-shape bottoms are not neglected this season. Dandruff Is A Warning if you are bothered with dandruff and itching scalp it ought to be a warning to you. There is danger of baldness ahead.

Real Estate and Investments Rooms 202-4 Kaffir Block OMAHA THE MONITOR The house loomed desolate as Cynthia came toward it. The branches of the trees shedding their summer leaves were desolate too. The leaves crackled beneath Cynthia's feet as she went on up the garden path to the pillared veranda, years of silence and decay showed everywhere. She drew her fur about her throat as she sat upon the highest step to look the old place over, the dear old place that had been her girlhood's home, this wistfully sweet woman had but to close her eyes to people, the deserted rooms with faces, long absent. There her square plano had stood, and at the opposite end of the impressive parlor had been the pier glass. A winsome picture that pier glass had often reflected, a girlish vision of floating ruffles, with happy shining eyes beneath softly wavy hair. Cynthia remembered the vision of herself, as she sat, and saw it again at its fairest clad in bridal array. In sath slippers the girl Cynthia had danced down the room, her white veil sweeping after, and he had called her "the loveliest vision in the world." But that was before the kiss. Such a simple happening to change the tenor of one's life—as it had changed Cynthia's. There were two suitors, you see, big Will Letton, poor, adoring and unrewarded. And Barton Swift, rich by inheritance, successful in business. By no virtue of his riches had Cynthia chosen, but because of her love for him, with all the time a regrettful ache at the back of her happiness, because of poor Will's sorrow. Not that Will was cowardly in defeat, his outward manner was his bravest best; Barton was wildly triumphant, his laughter rang out all the day long, the day of his wedding to be With other friends he and Cynthia had festooned the hallways and rooms with flowers. In her white robes she had laughingly defied superstition for the admiration of her lover's gaze, and Barton left enraptured, before the few brief hours preceding the ceremony. As he reached his own home in a blissful daze, he found that he had forgotten to execute a certain commission, and returned. Entering the long room, his steps muffled by the thick carpet, Barton Swift beheld reflected in the pier glass, the picture which he never forgot, and which no explanation could satisfy. Cynthia, still in her bridal robes, was clasped close in the arms of Will Lefton, and as Barton watched, Will bent for her kiss. When he raised his face from hers, Cynthia gave him no words of anger, tears were on her cheeks. "You had better go now Lefton," Barton said sharply from the doorway, and Will waiting only for Cynthia's motion of dismissal had gone. "Well," Barton asked her with a sneering smile, "so it was my money after all, if they said, and you loved Lefton all the time." White to the lips with wide horrified eyes, Cynthia made no reply. His sneering smile changed to a harsh laugh. "Well, forewarned, forearmed," Barton said cuttingly, his own pain making him cruel. "Better to have found out in time—good-bye." When the girl found her voice she was alone in the flower deck room. Later, as the wedding hour approached she had in desperation thrown a cloak about her shoulders and gone to Barton's home to seek him, only to learn that he had rushed in to the house and out again with the brief word that he would be long absent. So Cynthia like a crumpled white flower was found unconscious on the floor of her room, when the wedding guests came, and the wedding had never been. Immediately, a kind father had taken her to travel abroad, since then she had been here or there as her fancy or friends dictated. And as the years passed the old home benefit of its owners was sold, and the money divided between the sisters. Nowthat Cynthia's sisters were married, and scattered far, the old house was to be sold again. Cynthia read the advertisement in her city apartment, and a whimsical desire had seized her to view the old place once more. She could think now of that dreadful day with a smile, and wonder that it had seemed to mean so much. But after all the years her cheeks burned hot at memory of an impulsive farweed kiss. Poor Will, he had grieved deeply over the tragedy his rash act brought about. Cynthia wondered what sort of woman he had married. Then, as she stood up to go, a man came through the great house doorway, and stood speechlessly looking at her. She recognized Will Lefton at once, the same serious eyes, the patient face that years could not touch with sternness. "Will," cried the woman, "how strange to meet you here, and unchanged." "Why, I am quite gray," Will Lefton said, as he caught her hands, "but you are just Cynthia still. I came to buy the old place," he told her. "For—your—wife?" Cynthia questioned. "There has never been but one woman in the world for me," he answered sadly, "and I spoiled her life—with a kiss." Then Cynthia raised to him shining eyes. "Will Lefton," she asked, "Oh I are you sore of that?"

PERRY INVENTS SMOKE CONSUMER FOR BOILERS CINCINNATI, O., Dec. 16.—A smoke consuming device which, it is claimed, eliminates 85 per cent of the smoke and saves from 10 to 20 per cent of fuel, has been installed in a test on the boiler of the Sixth district school. It is a hydro-carbon device, which creates a blanket of gas directly above the bed of coals, causing all escaping carbon to ignite within four seconds. Steam from the boiler propels a cloud of oil and vapor through the attach- Diamond Theatre See Your Favorite Pictures All This Week at Your Favorite Theater --- THE MONITOR BUSINESS DIRECTORY T GROW GOODELL & CO.

(By the Associated Negro Press) KANE, Pa., Dec. 16.—Scipio Young; age 101 years, born in slavery in Virginia prior to the civil war, died here after a brief illness. When the civil war broke out Young joined the union forces at Fredericksburg. He was later made a servant to Lieutenant Wilkinson and later served General Thomas L. Kane in a similar capacity. General Kane brought Young to this section when hostilities closed. The estate of Young, valued at $50,000, goes to his six children. A family eating together.

Feathers Are Placed Around Hat Crown, Often Covering It and the Entire Brim. No longer need the tender-hearted woman eschew the use of aligrets, for imitation ones made from wood will be used on the fall and winter bats, notes a fashion writer. These "aligrettes en bols," as they are called, are clever imitations of the real feathers and come in a variety of colors. They are placed around the hat crown, often covering it and the brim. Cogue feathers, white, colored and metallic, are also popular, and a few burnt and glycerine ostrich are used. At present few straight or curied ostrich are seen. Trimmings at the side are in the majority, for many shapes show a length from side to side, and are trimmed to accent this feature. Wide ribbons will play a prominent part in the fall millinery. They are of metallic and figured silk, together with novelty effects, and are very attractive. The general tendency of the fall millinery seems to be toward larger shapes than have been worn for several seasons past, although the off-the-face model will still be worn. Fabric hats are still in vogue, velvet or hatters' plush, duvet or gold silk being used. Fur, such as beaver and squirrel, will probably be featured as trimming, while among the colors, old gold and the various browns will lead. Alluring bandeaux of paradise are shown for wear with evening gowns. One having a cluster of onion-colored U - Hat of autumn hay brown, velvet with ostrich feathers drooping over the brim. paradise is snudded with copper heads. Large fan-shaped, combs of the Spanish type of carved tortoise shell and amber are attractive, while smaller ones set with brilliants, sapphires, jade and other semi-precious stones may be worn to match the gown. FALL FASHION FOREHINTS Paper suits are being promised to us for the winter. Certain varieties have been ordered from Germany. They will sell from 50 cents to $2 for a skirt and coat. The separate skirt will sell for $1 and some as low as 50 cents. Draperies are also being made of paper. The cloth closely resembles linen in appearance and is made into good colors and it would take the expert to distinguish it without close examination. It comes in the natural color also. Paper suits are likely to be used for winter wraps for sports purposes. Wraps made of paper are also being made. The Egyptian, Persian and Renaissance influence is noted in the fall garments. Dresses show slightly longer skirts with silhouette that is straight in line and supple with waist line placed very low. Embroideries are one of the big features. Bodices and upper sleeves are entirely embroidered with skirts made plain or the skirt is embroidered and the top is made plain. Among other trimmings we note soutache braidings, arranged to stand out from the fabric and narrow ribbons are worked into novelty motifs. Tailored suits have jackets of medium length. They follow the figure without any fullness. Collars are built to inclose the chin. Some coats have two collars, one standing upright and the other turning back. The dresses used for day wear are simple. Few dresses have any girdles. Usually they have high necks and three-quarter lengths sleeves. Sleeves are wide in the afternoon frocks. Necklines are open in some. For evening a low decolette is sponsored. Corsages are long and fit smoothly above the skirts, which have long florating panels. Velvet is one of the materials that are used, as also are lame and metal faces and many palletted fabrics. Wraps are developed in cape styles. Straight lines appear in the tail-bours. Plain skirts are seen. Jackets are finished with high fur-lined collars and narrow belts in fabric or leather. Some introduce narrow panels, while skirts are of unseen lengths.
