Chicago Negress For Many
Years Concealed Her
Secret.
MOTHER TELLS STORY
Why Lillian Beatrice Watklns Coin
l.iitted Suicide Back of tlu V.irVn
Story Is a Tragic Narrative of Race
C nCirt Which Brought Aching
liearts to a .Score.
Chicago, III. Lillian Beatrice Wat.
l.ins, a beautiful negress, who for
years passed herself i.fT as a white
girl, killed herself v'..on her cup of
bitterness became full to overflowing,
A man had fallen In love with her,
and passionately loving him In ro
turn, she confessed her secret to him.
He gave her $15,000, married anoth
er girl and a month later blew out
his brains in Washington Park. Tho
girl In planning of nor own death
adopted his method, even to sending
a bullet crashing into her right tem
ple. Back of the girl's death Is a tragic
story of a conflict of race which
brought aching hearts to a score of
persons. As the young girl lay In a
north side undertaking room a De
gress bent and withered, leaned over
the bo'ly and wept.
She w..s the phi's mother, who In
order to allow her only daughter to
associate with white folks, had given
her up and passed her daily on tho
street without a sign cf recognition.
And yet the golden haired octoroon
loved her 1'ark sklnnel mother, and
on secret visits to her l.omo lavished
affection upon her.
Thomas F. Kennedy, the motive
for whose suicide In Washington
Park on January last had been a mys
tery until now, was the man who fell
In love with the ill-fRted girl. She
returned his jove and told her moth
er that they were engaged and that
she intended to keep her race a se
cret, but Bhe worried so over possible
discovery that one night she sobbed
out the truth. Kennedy left her and
a month afterward married Gwendo
lyn Reese. Four weeks after his
marriage Kennedy was found dead in
Washington Park, only a few blocks
from his home where he had furnish
ed elegant apartments for his bride.
lillian Watklns the last year had
n living at the home of Samuel
Phlnney, No. 376 Dearborn ave.
sad Mrs. Phlnney never suspect-
'.i.3t the girl was a negress. Miss
. itklns was employed as a steno
. ipher In the First Trust and Sav
..:gs Bank, and all of ber fellow
workers thought she was a Causcas
lan. On one or two occasions friends
had remarked that she had rather a
dark skin, and .Miss Watklns always
turned the subject by remarking
carelessly that she had Hindu bloofl,
as her grandfather was a Hindu.
She studied at the University ol
Chicago. At one time she lived at
the Virginia Hotel and for a few
months was a guest at the Warnet
Hotel, Thirty-third street and Cot
tage Grove avenue.
Mrs. Ida Watklns, the girl's moth
er, lives at 8571 Forest avenue. With
tears streaming down her face she
told the story of her daughter's
struggle to obtain recognition as a
white. .
: "My child's misfortune was that
she was born with a white skin and
golden hair. Oh, how proud I was
of my little baby when she lay at my
breast and I saw her delicate skin
and golden tresses. I little thought
of the shame and misery it would
cause her later In life. Her fathet
was a whlte-sklnned mulatto and Lil
lian was even whiter than he.
"Until my little girl was sixteen
"years old she always passed as a col
ored girl. Then a schoolmate put it
into her head that she could pass as
a white girl, and she came home and
told me that, while she still loved
Die, she wanted to be known as a
White girl and asked me not to rec
onlze her as my daughter. I thought
my heart would break and we both
cried for hours, but finally I saw that
Lllllan'B happiness depended on the
sacrifice and I made it.
"Then Lillian became converted
to the Catholic religion and entered
a convent in Buffalo, N. Y. She
wanted to take the veil but became
111 and confessed to the priest that
she was a negress. I was living in
Hamilton, Ohio, at that time, and
Lillian came home. A few months
afterward she came to Chicago and
then sent for me. She explained
gently that she was known as a
white girl and would have to visit me
secretly. She gave me $50 a month
for my expenses and came to see mo
three times a month. When we
passed on the street we did not rec
ognize each other.
"Then came my daughter's great
unhappiness. She passionately loved
Thomas Kennedy and she told me
that he loved her. She told him her
secret and they parted. He married
in a few weeks and a month after
ward shot himself. He gave Lillian
$15,000. She has left me all of this
money In her will, and in her will
wrote that I was her nearest and
dearest relative. Bo you see she did
love me although my skin Is black."
Miss Watklns shot herself in ber
rawm at the Phlnney home. She evi-
tsaUy had deliberated a long time
iu aommltted suteM.
TAO WITH A FLOATING MlXfc
A Norwegian Vessel's Dire Peril In
a Typhoon.
Capt. Lars Anderson of the Nor
wegian tramp steamer Eklund put
Into the port of Chefoo on the north
China coast a while ago, with a tale
about how his ship had played tag
with a floating mine and a typhoon
out of the arm of the Llaotung penin
sula. The experience of the Norwegian
captain was novel only because it
combined the typhoon and the float
ng mine. Other ships in the China
fcta up between Shantung and Ko
rea have struck tho deadly engines
so vn by the Russians and Japanese
alike during the war. Although the
wa i;as been over some years, float
ing mines are still bobbing up in the
paths of'shlps.
According to Capt. Anderson tho
Ekl 'nd was'out of Chlnnampo, Ko
rea, bound for Taku, when about 2
o'cloc.t on the first afternoon, the
lookout on the bridge sighted the
floating mine off to the starboard
about half a mile ahead. The glass
had been falling rapidly all after
noon and Capt. Anderson knew that
a typhoon was coming up out of the
southeast.
The roaring column of wind struck
the Kklund within ten minutes after
the mine had been sighted. For the
next three hours Capt. Anderson
and his crew of twenty-six were cost
ing dice with t'.eath every minute. If
the typhoon didn't sink them they
were certain that the mine would,
only one death would be quicker than
the other.
It was Inky black all about and
the rain fell In torrents. Capt. An
dersen and two sailors lashed them
selves to the rigging way up near
the nose of the boat to keep an eye
rpen for the mine. The rest of tho
crew simply went below and, and
waited to hear the crack of doom.
Tin captain tied himself to the
stanchions of the bridge where his
hands could reach the engine room
signals. He could not ' hear the
voices of the lookouts at rthe bow,
for the wind blew their w'ords out
to sea, but he could plainly distin
guish the two figures between the
whips of spray and the murk of the
clouds.
Before the storm had been on for
an hour Capt. Anderson saw both
lookouts at the bow turn in their
place and frantically signal, hold
ing up their hands and pushing them
away from them with the violence
of desperation. Anderson prompt
ly pulled the signal for reversed en
gines and although the boat was
only going at half speed it slack
ened so suddenly that it began to
lose bead.
Tho bow slewed, and then a great
comber rose up alongside and
crinkled high over the starboard
rail. The captain cast one hasty
glance at the wave and tried to right
his bow so as to meet It. He wasn't
quick enough, the wave came and
with it the mine.' "
"There the thing sat on the top of
the wave," said Captain Anderson in
detailing the adventure afterward.
"It looked like a hedgehog all curl
ed up and asleep, with the glass
prickles sticking out in all directions.
To break one of those tubes of glass
would be set oft enough gun cotton
to blow the ship to slivers.
"I saw the wave curl with the mine
right at the ".rest, then it broke and
came down over the starboard rail.
About forty tons of water more or
less, hit the bow and shoved our
nose under water until the water
camr uj to the bridge.
"I thought we were never going
to come up. And, sir, that mine
went right over the boat on the top
of the wave, passing so near the
bridge that I could have reached
out and touched it. It slewed off
over the port rail and disappeared
behind the ship."
That was all the captain of the
Eklund saw of the floating mine.
When the typhoon passed he found
the two lookouts still lashed to their
posts dead. Otherwise the ship and
the crew were unhurt.
Man is tho Superlative.
We speak of good men and bad, of
great men and small, but man, real
man, Is the superlative, and whenever
you come across the real thing you
will find a man after your own heart,
generous, unselfish diligent in good
works.
Tho really good man has no time in
which to be bad, and being interest
ed 1l good works, he does not feel In
cline, to waste his time and talent
doing that which is not worth while.
Mn have gained the center of the
stage and posed in the limelight for
a brief period who were not good
through and through, but not for
long.
There are prominent men, promi
nent 11 finance and trade, who are
not very good through and through.
Some of these continue to splutter
and tare for a good while, but ttte
world Is not shocked If they suddenly
ly disappear, nor are they greatly
missed when gone.
It is the man of sterling worth who
is missed, and is sincerely mourned.
Seek therefore, to meet and know
men of sterling worth.

DKXTISTKY FOP. l)()f; 4.
Cost of Filling and Scraping a Ca
nine's Teeth.
London, England. --An observing
reporter of a local dally on overhear
ing two ladies discuss the relative
merits of their pet dogs' teeth at the
Peking Palace Dog Show, started up
on a tour of investigation among
fashionable West End dentists and
made the important discovery that
several well known dental surgeons
made a large income by attending to
tho teeth of. their cllent's'pet dogs.
Said one:
"I frequently attend to the teeth
of pet dogs belonging to my clients,
and that practice is common iu our
profession. Scraping dog's teeth is
a simple enough and almost painful
operation. I have on several occa
sions cleaned a dog's hollow tooth
and HI led it. Only once have I tak
en a wax Impression and supplied
false teeth, and the dog soon got rid
or them. The instruments are the
same that, we use for human beings.
"Show dogs are brought to me for
their teeth to be scraped or stopped,
as a decayed tooth means loss of
points In competition. My scale of
prices is: Scraping a set and clean
ing, 1, Is.; refilling and cleaning
one tooth, 5s.; making a bicuspid or
Incisor, 17s. Cd.; making a canine
and grinder, 1, Is. I have never
supplied a full set of teeth for a dog,
and could only give a fancy estimate,
but the work could not be done prop
erly under 25 guineas."
PLANTING EYELASHES.
Hair of One's Head Is Threaded
Along Edge of Eyelid.
Paris, France. "Planting eye
lashes" is the latest torture which
women endure for beauty's sake.
The operation which is "very delicate
and painful," Is this described in the
Paris Health Journal:
A long hair Is Blngled out of the
patient's head. A needle is thread
ed with It and forced in and out of
the skin along the edge of the eyelid,
forming a series of loops. These
loops are then cut at the extrcmetles
and the rows of lashes thus obtain
ed are curiea upward wttn curlers
When the operation is finished trfW
patient has to spend twelve hours
with an oiled bandage over the eyes.
The process for the manufacture of
eyebrows is similar.

iHANIAC KILLS TWO;
LIGHTS GREAT POSSE.
Lend a Desperate Running Fight
Out of Federal Asylum In Wash
ingtonTwo Slain.
Waslngton, Sept. 24. Andrew
Llghtfoot, a demented mulatto
"trusty" of St. Elizabeth's Federal
Asylum for the insane, suddenly be
came violent on the grounds of tho
institution. With a crowbar he
slew Patrick Maloncy, the keeper of
the grounds; then killed Millie Fol
1 1 is . another Inmate, and shattered
the arm of Elizabeth Robertson, aa
Insane woman, who sour.ht to Inter
cept him. Later, In a ruiinln;? bat
tie, he dashed for the swamps or the
outskirts of the Capital City, whore
he fought .-. great posse of pursuers
with sticks and stones, until he was
shot twice and brought to earth.
Llghtfoot, so nearly white that l.e
scarcely could be rilHtlngulshnd from
a Caucasian, had been confined In
St. Elizabeth's for eight years. II'?
was a soldier in the Philippines, nnd
with several other troopers he was
brought back rrom the Far Eaut to
bo confined In the Government asy
lum. Apparently the man had been im
proving for several years, lie seem
ed so rational Ciat Dr. Fitch of t!ie
asylum, patrolled him to "trusty"
work,, and, under Maloney's super
vision, he was detailed to rake the
lawns and keep an eye on the oilur
patients In the men's ward during
their recreation hours.
Llghtfoot was watching a score
or more of male Infants in front of
the men's pavilion. Maloncy by his
Bide, had been prying up a stone
with a crowbar.
Suddenly, with a yell, the mulatto
grabbed the implement from the
keeper's hands and, before Maloney
could swerve away, had brought It
crashing down upon his skull. Ma
loney went down In a heap, dead In
stantly. As his first victim fell,' the maniac
began yelling wildly. Brandishing
the crow-bar above his hoad hi?
swung It furiously In circles and
started on a dash toward the bound
ary of the grounds.
Millie Follln, a white inmate, wis
in his pathway, and as he came rush
ing upon her, he brought the Iron
weapon down upon her head, shat
tering the woman's skull and kill
ing her Instantly. Then the maniac
ran for the river at the foot of tho
lawn and for the tree-grown, swamp
beyond.
Elizabeth Robertson, another
woman patient, more than seventy
years of age, was returning from the
river side when Llghtfoot saw her.
He ran from his course, raised tho
crow-bar and struck at her head.
She fell to one side and the crow
bar, missing her head, struck the
arm she had flung up to ward her
self agalnBt the blow. Her arm
bones were shattered.
