I MINING STOCKS BRING HER SUDDEN WEALTH Miss Florence A. Smith, 149 Pros pect avenue, Asbury Park, N. J., who is at present making her home with Mrs. Betty P. Pritchard, 610 Herk imer street, Brooklyn, is a very happy young woman, for she says she is worth several thousand dollars today, when not so long ago she was worry ing about the high price of living and wondering how she was going to get one of the latest straws for Easter. Miss Smith told a representative of The Age the following account of how she suddenly came in the possession of $2,900. Some months ago she ac quired several shares of stock in an Arizona copper mine. A few day* ago she received a check for $2,900 on her stock, which she is holding.

Miss Smith confesses she is a writer of poems and short stories, for which she is receiving remuneration. She is twenty-one years old.—The New York Age. JOE GANS A WIDELY KNOWN PERSONAGE Baltimore, Md.—That the late Joe Gans was one of the widest known Baltimoreians was a well known fact. Henry L. Menchen, staff correspon dent of the Baltimore Sun, who has just left Germany with the party of Ambassador Gerard, sends the follow ing from the War Zone: “The best known Baltimoreian among strangers, I always find, is Cardinal Gibbons. * * * the next favorites in order are Dr. Osier and the late Joe Gans. Joe is dead these five years past, but his soul goes marching on. I found even the Bap tist preacher knew all about him, and was eager to hear of early hardships, his lofty character and his pious death.” ST. JOHN’S A. M. E. CHURCH NOTES Rev. W. T. Osborne, Pastor.

The program under the manage ment of Mrs. Stella Craig on Tues day evening was a high-class literary and musical treat. Little Miss Dor othy Craig at the piano and Master Wallace Thurman in recitation were of the talented younger folk of Zion Baptist. Both rendered their selec tions well, receiving rounds of ap plause. Miss Henrietta Steward has a very sweet, effective voice, which was shown to a great advantage, espe cially in the encore, “Pm Dreaming,” Mrs. Anna Lee, the first lady to ap pear in oration during the Forum, captivated the audience, who demon strated marked enthusiastic interest by repeated encores. Mrs. Stella Craig, the elocutionist of the evening, drew a pathetic picture of “Convict Joe,” holding her audience through the reading, and was very pleasing in the witty encore, “Chewing To bacco.” The Rev. W. F. Botts closed the program. The theme of his ad dress was “Liberty.” He brought out many interesting points and was pleasing and entertaining in the same. Program for Tuesday, March 13. Mr. J. D. Carter of Tacoma, Wash., will be speaker of the evening. Mr. Carter is a scholar and an orator. He was chosen orator of the day by the G. U. O. of 0. T. at the laying of the cornerstone of the First A. M. E. Church at Seattle, and is known throughout the far west as a scholar and race man. He will speak on one of the leading issues of the day, “Struggles for Liberty.” The Rev. W. T. Osborne will preach a special sermon Sunday morning on “How to Know God.” HARROLD-NEWMAN. The home of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Newman was the scene of a pretty wedding Thursday evening, March 1, when their elder daughter, Mary Lois, became the bride of Mr. Simon Har rold. Promptly at 8:30 p. m., to the strains of the wedding march played by Mr. Dan. Desdunes and Mrs. Chas. Harrold, the bridal p4rty descended the stairway and entered the living room. The groom and his best man, Holland Harrold, appeared first, fol lowed by little Lieta Lewis, the small daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Harry Lewis, exquisitely dressed in white spangled chiffon over white satin, bearing the wedding ring in a lily. She was followed by the bridesmaid, Miss Irene Newman, sister of the bride, attractively gowned in blue brocaded chiffon and silver lace, over, pale blue satin. With this she wore silver hose and slippers. She carried pink carnations. Then came the bride on the arm of her uncle, Mr. Robert Reeves of Topeka, Kan., who gave her away. She was lovely in a beautiful gown of white satin charmuese and georgette crepe, cut low and made round length, over which fell' the bridal veil, caught with orange blos soms. White satin hose and slip pers completed the costume. She car ried an armful of white roses. The Rev. W. T. Osborne, pastor of St. John’s A. M. E. Church, read the mar riage lines, after which a reception was held for the large number of guests. The couple were the recip ients of many beautiful and useful gifts. Mrs. Ella Harrold, mother of the groom, presented them with a beautiful hand-made silk quilt. The groom’s gift to the bride was an ele gant Circassian walnut bedroom suite.
