DEATH OF ALBERT N. WADE
After an illness of six months, Al
bert N. Wade, one of Omaha’s oldest
and most highly respected citizens
died at his late residence, 2501 Patrick
avenue, late Tuesday night. Mr. Wade
was a native of Philadelphia. For a
number of years he worked at his
trade, that of barbering, in Cleveland
Ohio, among his patrons being Mark
Hanna and other distinguished men of
that city. About thirty years ago he
came to Omaha where he followed his
trade until four years ago when he
gave it up for employment at the
Court House. Among his customers
and friends were many of Omaha's
most prominent citi ns. A true gen
tleman always, i < id the faculty of
making friends. - was one of the
oldest and most <*.~oted members of
the Church of St. Philip the Deacon,
from which he was buried Friday af
ternoon, interment being in Forest
Lawn, the Rev. John Albert Williams
officiating. The Western Undertak
ing Company had charge of the
funeral. Mr. Wade is survived by his
widow.
PAXTON BOYS WIN OUT
About ten days ago the Colored
waiters at the Paxton hotel came to
work at noon and found that white
waitresses had taken their places. The
boys took the affair as a matter of
course, having expected it for some
time, but what nettled them was that
the girls were paid more, given board
and a nice dressing room on the first
floor. But the girls didn't last long.
The guests issued an ultimatum that
if the Colored boys didn’t come back
they would leave. The manager called
the boys to make noon the next day,
but he found the boys were not so
unxiouif to work as he thought. Their
answer was that they would be at the
hotel at 3 o'clock and talk over terms,
and they made their own terms. They
demanded $35 per month, board, a re
modeled dressing room, increased pay
for captains and the hiring back of
their own headwaiter, George Watson.
The only reason the boys didn’t ask
anything more was that they couldn’t
think of anything more. The chances
are that the Paxton will not try to
“hand” the Colored boys anything
soon again.
