AVERRED HER ONLY CHILD WAS STOLEN Mrs. McMurray Protests Against Proposed Adoption of Her Babe.
CARE OF MRS. SKILLENS
Later Maintains That Mother Had Consented to the Adoption.
Declaring that hr only child had been stolen from her home in Anderson several weeks ago, Mrs. McMurray appeared in Wayne Juvenile court this morning to. protest against the proposed adoption of the babe by Mrs. Hattie Skillens. The parties in the case are colored. After hearing the arguments of each woman why she should be given the possession of the eight-months-old child Judge Fox decided to leave it in the care of Mrs. Skillens until final disposition could be made by the Board of Children's Guardians. According to an affidavit filed in juvenile court concerning the child, his mother is not the proper guardian and an unfit person to take charge of it. His father is unknown, according to the affidavit. Mrs. McMurray, mother of the child, appeared in court and demanded that the child be returned to her, objecting to its adoption by Mrs. Skillens. The mother said the child had been stolen from her home in Anderson several weeks ago by Mrs. Skillens. Forced to Leave Town. The authorities of Anderson telephoned to Richmond stating that Mrs. McMurray had been ordered to leave that city and that she had come to Richmond in company with a man named Burden. Mrs. Skillens said she wanted to adopt a child and was told by Mrs. McMurray that she could adopt the latter's child. She produced papers in court to show that an agreement had been entered into between the child's mother and herself. The mother being unable to write made crosses instead of signing her name, she said. Mrs. McMurray denied making the crosses and said she did not know Mrs. Skillens. Mrs. Skillens said she found the child without any clothing on its body and that it was necessary to use oil and grease to remove the dirt from its body. Soap and water had no effect, she said. The hair had been cut from the child's head in order to clean its scalp. The child became ill when clothing was placed about his body, according to Mrs. Skillens.

j Good Map Engravers Scarce. - No finer maps are made than the enfrraved topographic atlas sheets of the United States gelogieal survey. In accuracy of detail ns well as in quality of printing the survey asserts, with little fear of contradiction, that its maps lead all others, wherever printed. Great advances have been made, in recent years In various phases of the printing art, but for fine map work, strange as it may seem, no process has yet been found equal to the original hand engraving, which Is still essentially the same process that It was generations ago. The skilled copper plate engraver who cuts on his metal base the thin lines which reproduce the map is as necessary now as he was during the middle of the last century. Not every one can be a successful ograver. It requires a fine touch and a good eye.
In response to an appeal sent out by the Commercial club over 2,000 Richmond people attended a concert last evening, the proceeds from which will be used as a fund for the musical education of a young colored boy, Wesley Howard, who gives promise of becoming a remarkable violinist. The event was a unique one in the history of this city and another evidence of the general interest Richmond people find rime to take in musical affairs, which has given this city an enviable national reputation. Young Howard was the special attraction of the evening and his work was of the highest order. By 8:30 o'clock the floor and balconies of the Coliseum were completely filled and many persons occupied seats in the gallery. The audience was a most representative and enthusiastic one. Much praise is due tne members of the Richmond Musical association for their part in arranging the event. March by Orchestra. About the platform were arranged palms and ferns and flags in a most attractive manner. The first number on the program was a march, "Observatory" and played by the Richmond High School Orchestra under the direction of Professor Ralph C. Sloane. Its rendition was very well executed. The Earlham Glee club appeared next on the program and sang "Dreams" by Beschnitt. The club was compelled to respond to an encore. When young Howard appeared on the platform he was given an ovation and it was several minutes before he was permitted to play. Howard shows remarkable mastery in his chosen art and his Sonata in E Major for violin and piano by Handel was rendered superbly. He played Adagio, Allegro, Andante and Allegro. It is the young artist's well planned interpretations and fine quality of tone that constitute the charm of his performance. His playing is full of imaginative power which greatly adds to his work. Unassuming Young Man. Howard is quite an unassuming young man without any of the usual
affectations of some artists. One is simply delighted by sure grace and ease of his playing and he makes instant appeal to his audience. He was encored again and again last night. Mrs. F. W. Krueger, in her usual charming manner sang "Sing On" by Deuza. Mrs. Krueger's ability as a vocalist is too well known to require ex
tended comment. j Miss Ruth Yeo came next on the pro- j gram with a piano solo. "-The Faust j Waltz" by Gounod-I-iszt. She was also j Mr. Howard's accompanist. Miss Yeo j has a captivating personality and is a remarkable pianist. Her work last ev- J ening was of the highest order. She
is surprisingly natural ana original. She possesses a masterly technic. The success of the affair last evening was due materially to the work
of Miss Yeo. It is hoped that she I may be heard again soon in recital. j Mrs. Charles Igelman and Mrs. Fred Bartel sang a duet. They both have j splendid voices and wer--good advantage last evening. After another selection by tut ...... orchestra the Glee club sang again,
"The Goblins," and were forced to respond to an encore. Mr. Frank Braffett, a noted baritone singer, sang "It Was Not Thus To Be." Although heartily applauded he refused to respond to an encore. His singing was one of the distinct features of the concert. Howard appeared, next on the pro-

Time Is Sometimes Kind. Father Time Is not always a hard parent and, though he tarries for none of his children, often lays his hand lightly upon those who have used htm well, making them old men and women Inexorably enough, but leaving their hearts and spirits yotmg and in full vigor. With such people the gray head is but the impression of the old fellow's hand In giving them his blessing and every wrinkle but a notch In the quiet calendar of a well spent life. Bnrnaby Rudge.
A Roland For an Oliver. Although no saying is in more common use than "Roland for an Oliver," yet few are acquainted with Its origin. The expression signifies the giving of nn equivalent. Roland and Oliver were two comrades who were famous knights in romance known in early French history for their valor. The wonderful achievements of the one can only be equaled by those of the other, and so we have the phrase. "Roland for an Oliver."

How the Hoosier Cabinet Improved This Kitchen This picture shows the kitchen of an old-fashioned house remodeled. The kitchen Is sixteen feet long and twelve feet wide. Its old-fashioned arrangement must have caused endless, useless steps every day. By taking out the cupboard and table and making a slight change in the pantry, an arrangement is
secured which is nearly ideal.
In the center of everything, with splendid light, is the Hoosier Cabinet. The old pantry has been con
verted into a refrigerator room with outside icing. At the left is the sink, and at the right the stove. At the right of the stove is the door to the dining room, and the cellar door is just a step from that. With scarcely a step, this housekeeper can do all her kitchen work.
