MULATTO GIRL WINS OVER WHITE SISTERS III PEiSYLMIII BEAUTY SHOW When She Was Admitted There Was No Objection Shown, However, There Was Almost a Riot After the Prize Was Finally Awarded.

Pittsburg, Dec. 7. Edna Mason, a mulatto girl today won the first prize at a beauty show held at a charity bazaar in Taylorstown, and tonight the admirers of her white competitors threatened to expel the. entire colored population from the neighborhood. Edna, eighteen years old, possessed of strikingly regular features and with a clear brown complexion, came from Louisiana two years ago. Her grandparents were slaves and she was brought up in a Southern family of wealth. She was educated in a Southern industrial school and spent two years abroad as the maid in the family in which she had been brought tip. She is a musician of some promise and possesses a sweet, well-modulated voice. Her advent in Taylorstown was not passed unnoticed. The village is sit-

uated in a farming community and for years the colored inhabitants have been treated in a free, easy fashion and enjoyed some pretense at equality with their neighbors. When the bazaar was opened the blacks were cheerfully admitted. Their money was accepted and there was no privilege they did not enjoy. A beauty show was one of the attractions and half a score of the belles of the town took part. Edna Mason claimed the right to sit on the stand with her white sisters. One by one the latter dropped out. The mulatto girl was getting the majority of the ballots. Her millinery and gowns were of the latest design and worn with a grace that caused the chagrin of the farmers' daughters. When Edna won the prize a storm of protest followed. She hurriedly left the hall and the negro patrons fled. Late tonight threats were made that all blacks would have to leave.

not the whole show. She has a capable company including her famous sister, Anna Belmont who has returned to the stage for a season. For this reason the audience is not let down from Its height of good humor when she is out of the picture for a few minutes. It would take a column to tell all the story of the play in detail. Suffice to say that it concerns the predicament gotten into by a young woman while she is impersonating the woman whose companion she is. but who has mysteriously disappeared. The remarkable resemblance between the two is responsible for the deception in the eyes of the homecoming husband, husband's daughter and husband's assistant. Thn plot is neatly worked out, with a pleatitude of startling climaxes and an ending that will pass for farce. At the Gennett Monday night.

"The Girl Who Looks Like Me." One of the brightest and most novel of farce comedies to be found in a year's watching of the passing shows is being played by a company supporting and including as clever a comedienne as could be seen in the same length of time. Miss Kathryn Osterman and "The Girl Who Looks Like Me" are both splendid each joins with the other In making the evening go by without a single dull minute. But, mind you. Miss Osterrnan Is

The farmers of Texas have taken up the growing of peanuts to such an extent which makes it probable that within the comparatively near future the great peanut growing states of Virginia, Tennessee and Georgia will have to relinquish their laurels to grand old Texas, as is being done in the case of other states in the production of other products. At a peanut factory recently established in Terrell about 1,500 bushels a day are being bjiadltL C!alTtn nwh.

TAMTALIZIKGLY AND PLAYFULLY LITTLE SQUIRREL DELAYS WEST BOUND CAR A Big Kind Heart of Motorman, All That Saved Tiny Animal From Death Under the Wheels of the Interurban Congratulated by the Passengers.

A fox squirrel that had lost its mental bearings, or else was oblivious or indifferent to the dangers, played about the wheels of a west-bound interurban car when near Earlham cemetery Saturday morning, and but for the consideration and kindly heart of the motorman, would have lost its life. When the motorman first discovered the Squirrel the little animal was running along the track, and in front of the car, very much in the manner of the horse that strays to the railroad track and tantalizingly persists in keeping to the track despite the alarming whistle and clanging of the bell. The motorman sounded the gong rapidly for a numer of times. The squirrel, however, was in no apparent hurry to leave the track and ran for the distance of a hundred feet or more, when It jumped to one side and then suddenly turned and leaped under the car. It was at this critical juncture that the motorman put on the airbrake and stopped the car, and at the same time sounded the gong. Up to this time

DONKEY TO BE WITNESS FOR HIMSELF IN SUIT.

Chicago, Dec. 7. Whether Walter Cook's donkey "Booze" is afflicted with vocal habits which keep neighbors in Evans ton awake nights will be settled by Justice Boyer. Fortytwo witnesses for and against the donkey testified. Fred Ahrens was the chief complalnanL In two hours twenty-one witnesses for each side testified that the donkey was and was not a disturber of the peace. Ahrens's witnesses declared that the animal brayed incessantly and frightened their children. Cook's friends and allies declared that the donkey lifted np his voice at meal time, but "a voice tuner couldn't tell it from an automobile horn," and that it was a child's pet-' The Court will decide when he hears the donkey.

the few passengers were in ignorance of the character of the obstruction ahead. When the airbrakes were put on there was a scramble among the affrighted passengers for safe positions. Car windows went up and there was a craning of necks in expectation of seeing a wreck or the waving of a red flag at some point on the track ahead. While the motorman was in the act of making explanation the yellow-coated and agile member of the forest family emerged from beneath the car and bounding over the fence sprang to the trunk of a maple tree. The squirrel was playing about the topmost limbs of the maple when the motorman sounded off brakes, put on the electrical power and resumed the west-bound journey. He was congratulated and thanked by the passengers for the consideration he had shown for the safety of the four-footed wanderer, who, in woodland and fores schools, had been taught to flee from the huntsman, but had not been advised of the dangers that lurk on the track and beneath the car wheels.
