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 has presented Mrs.
Pritchard with $1,000 for her kindness
and motherly care since she left As
bury Park in September, 1916.
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.”

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.
The bride, who was bom and reared
in this city, is a most attractive and
lovable girl. The groom is one of
Omaha’s enterprising young men. He
is a member of the First Regimental
Hand, K. of P., and also Desdunes*
Orchestra. He is also treasurer of the
Owl Club. Mr. and Mrs. Harrold are
at home to their friends for the pres
ent at 2911 Lake street.
