This event was in some ways superior to its white counterpart. The couples were less charming, it is true, and in the gloomy hall it was hard to distinguish their faces. Yet they danced with tremendous enjoyment, at the end of the eleventh day. At the end of the twelfth, one team married, in a ceremony that was held on the dance floor. The colored preacher, the Rev. S. W. Wigfall, solemn and embarrassed, a good man if somewhat stupid, was grossly insulted by laughter throughout his reading of the service.

Whether he attains any higher office...
...Author in appearance, is the shaggy counterpart of a country doctor. This is not unseemly; his grandfather was a doctor, his father, Professor Johann Schnitzler, a once famed throat specialist. Author Arthur Schniztler studied medicine, became an M. D., lectured on ailments of the throat, at the Poliklinik in Vienna. One of his early published works was a paper on Nervous Diseases of the Voice...
