“Wild Girl” Who Has Been Haunting
Woods Found in Emaciated Condition
YOUNG WOMAN, THOUGHT, TO BE
INSANE, LIVES ON HERBS And
ROOTS NEAR ALTON, ILL.,
FOR SEVERAL DAYS.
St. Louis.—Chief of Police Maxwell,
of Alton, .has captured the "wild girl”
who has been haunting the woods on
the outskirts of the city, greatly to
the alarm of women and school chil
dren. In the last ten days the girl
has been seen many times, but until
. the other day attempts to catch her
proved futile.
Chief Maxwell received a telephone
message from some One who had seen
her enter a stable. He hurried to the
barn and found the girt asleep on a
pile of straw. When aroused she be
came alarmed and tried to escape, but
he restrained her. He took her to the
matron's room at the police station,
but the girl refused to tell who she
is. where she comes from, or anything
concerning herself. When pressed re
peatedly for an answer all she would
say was “Mollie Maguire.”
She is a thin, emaciated girl of
about 18, five feet six inches tall, with
light hair and sunken blue eyes. Her
shoes are worn out and her brown cal
ico dress is torn almost to shreds. As
far as is known she has had nothing
to eat for at least ten days, except
herbs and fruits which she has been
able to collect in her forages through
the ftgids. The rough life shows plain
ly upon her. It is believed that her
mind is affected.

Knocked from Bed by Bolt.
ICau Claire. Wls.—John Schneider
anil wife, residing in the towu of
Union, five miles from here, had the
unique experience of being thrown
out of bed by a bolt of lightning
which struck their couch, and escap
ing unhurt. The iron bed was twist
ed out of shape and the sheet on the
lied was bmn,t to ashes. The holt
struck the roof of their dwelling and
passed downward to their bedroom,
where the iron bedstead attracted it,

Schneider and his wife, who W(brd

A Pretty Hand.
The pretty hand has a charm that is
second to the charm of a pretty face.
The pretty hand should have charac
ter. It should be graceful and expres
sive. significant of something besides
prettiness. It should be firm, and it
may be brown or white, hut never red
jr mottled. It may be dimpled, but it
should not be pudgy and softly fat like
a cushion. A hand of this sort sug
gests flabbiness of nature, undevelop
ment and helplessness.
Heart Is Washed; Man Lives.
Los Angeles, Cal.—Surgeons are
mystified by the case of Charles E. Mc
Carthy, a Pasadena contraclor. who
has lived five days after undergoing an
operation that is almost unparalleled.
McCarthy was thrown from a motor
cycle upon the teeth of a steel hay
rake. A broken rib punctured and
badly tore his left lung and a tooth of
the rake lacerated his heart The heart
was taken through the nigged hole
in his breast, washed, replaced and
sawed up. A small part of the lung
was removed. McCarthy says he is de
termined to get" well.
Usefulness of Asbestos.
Asbestos can fairly lay claim to
the title of being tire most useful of
all minerals. It has been called a

fibrous and crystalline, elastic, yet
brittle, a floating stone, which can
be readily carded, spun and woven

sands of dollars to invest and caused
many business men and women tu
join pools formed for the purpose of
“breaking" the richest speculators in
Chicago.
That all the money thus received
was lost in playing "tips" furnished
. by Mrs. Hi.lshizer.
That she was accused of "bucket
shopping," and, when unable tu ac
count for the loss of $100 given her by
Mrs. Louise Rich, a jury convicted
her of swindling.
Business and society circles of Jol
iet were shaken and startled several
weeks ago by the arrest and indict
ment of Mrs. Hulshizer. The prison
er. who is well preserved, middle-aged
woman, and the mother of Edna Thay
er, an actress appearing with the
"Florodora" and "Babes in Toyland"
companies, had the entree to the most
exclusive homes iu Joliet.
For years she was connected in a
confidential capacity with a board of
trade house, where she earned a con
siderable salary. She made daily trip's
to Chicago and became konwn to hun
dreds of the commuters along the
road, who regarded her as being a re
markably successful operator.
Several stories were current, regard
ing fortunes won and lost by Mrs.
Hulshizer.
One of the surprising things in con- '
nection with her final exposure was |
the manner in which she keeps secret
the fact that scores of her acquaint- !
ances were speculating through her
in the markets.
Not until after file arrest was it
known that besides gullible Women |
Mrs. Hulshizer numbered among her
alleged victims some of the most
prominent men in Joliet.
One of tne sensational outcomes of j
the Hulshizer trial is a revival of in
terest in the case of Luthe.v Kny, a |
young German, son of a prominent of
ficer iu the German army, who is !
serving an indeterminate sentence in
the penitentiary. He forged checks. |
it is claimed, to keep up his payments j
in the “system" devised by Mrs. Huls
hizer. Now his friends declare he !
should be liberated and they have ar- j
ranged with a Joliet lawyer to take !
his case before the pardon hoard.
The downfall of Kny was one of the
social sensatious of Joliet.
He served a term in the peniten
tiary for forgery. His parole period
was spent in Joliet, where he secured
a position in the office of the Ameri
can Steel & Wire company and soon j
won his way iuto exclusive circles. !
He fell in love with the daughter of j
Dr. Moody and it is reported the two
were engaged. In order to increase |
his financial holdings, however. Kny !
had quietly invested in the Hulshizer |
scheme:* The market went wrong and
Kny borrowed money to keep up the
margins. There was a further de
mand and Kny fell into his old trick,
that of forgery. Exposure came, then
conviction, and finally the peniten
tiary. This was a couple of years ago
and Kny is still behind the bars.
Mrs. Hulshizer is about 40 years of j
age. She is' of good figure, prepos
sessing. and a well-bred, intelligent
woman. Site has gracious ways and
during the years preceding her pres
ent difficulties was in the good graces
of hundreds of Joliet people. Many
of these sympathize with her now and
regard with horror the possibility that
she may go to the penitentiary. They
feel that she isno more culpable than
many who invested with her. It was
a game of risk. Those who won have
no complaint. It was those who lost
who are bitter and there is no ques
tion but that much bitterness exists.
The outcome of the (tending pro
ceedings before Judge Smith will be
eagerly awaited by all Joliet.

ADELE RITCHIE, IN “THE SOCIAL WHIRL.
HOW IT S DONE IN ENGLAND.
Lew Fields Speaks on Musical Com
edies and Actors.
Lew Fields is just back from Eng
land. and cheerfully confesses that
there is something—a tone—a style
—an atmosphere—about English mu
sical comedy productions that Amer
ican operators in that field do not
attain."
"Are the English musical produc
tions better than those in America?’’
.he was asked.
"They have.” he replied, "an air
about them, something that we don't
get. 'The Three Little Maids,' for
inslauce. is charming. There's some
thing—an 'atmosphere.' I suppose—
something that strikes one as supe
rior, whatever it is. They have to
be just so over there, you know, with
the lords, ladies, tine aristocracy and
all that. You hate to keep things
up to a certain level, and they care
more about that than seeing some
thing really and truly funny.”
"Is the music distinctly better than
here?”
"1 wouldn't say that, because some
of our music is emphatically all right.
However. I thought the music in 'The
Belle of Mayfair' was particularly
fine. 1 didn't see a musical comedy
1 thought would make a success in
America—at least without altera
tions."
"That makes it about even, doesn’t
it? The English public doesn't seem
to want American dramas, and the
American public prefers its own mu
sical comedies."
"That's so. That’s about what It
amounts to. Our plays aie too—too
fast for them. They don't under
stand our way of doing business.”
Lew Fields paused and grinned ap
preciatively. “How do you fancy they
do business over there?" he demand
ed. "Suppose you meet an actor.
and think he might be a good invest
ment on this side ot' the water. He’s
pager to make your acquaintance, of
course. You talk to him a bit, and
he says he'd like to go to America;
Jie'd be perfectly delighted. You say
you'd like to see him perform. He's
delighted at that. too. and a day or
two later you receive tickets to the
theater or music hall where lie's ap
pearing. You see him and like him.
Von think you have a part that would
about fit him. and you make up your
mind to bring him over if he doesn’t
ask loo much. He comes to see you.
and you tell him you'd like to en
gage him for 35 weeks and name a
price. He likes the idea and agrees
to the salary. Then you ask him if
he can begin rehearsals on the 1st
of August. ‘What year'?’ he asks.
Gossip of thi
Anna Held's new play is called “A
Parisian Model.”
Wright Lorimer is to produce Ibsen's
play, “The Wild Duck.”
It is likely that in the future stars
tlarah Truax will be on the list.

'But. my dear man!’ he exclaims, ‘
I've signed contracts for three years
more in England.' And that's how ;
they do it in England.” averred Mr.
Fields, wearily shaking his head.
"They ask you: 'What year?' after
the coniract's drawn up and ready j
to be signed!”
"Do you think the English au- 1
diences are prejudiced against the
Americans and American produc
tions?"
“Not the audiences, but the man- j
agers. The English managers are
afraid of the Americans and their In
fluence (is hostile. The audiences
there are just like audiences every
where else. They're satisfied if you
give them a good 'show.' They don’t
care who wrote it or where it comes
from. American playwrights are apt
to get their impression from first
night audiences. The first-nighters
are mainly actors, managers and crit
ics anyhow. The general public
doesn't put in an appearance until
two or three days later. If the crit
ics condemn your piece it's all up."
HE WAS "UP AGAINST IT.”
Critic Is Unable to Truthfully Tell of
Wife's Acting Ability.
Martin Harvey is an English actor.
Miss de Silva, his wife, is an actress,
and not. the greatest in the profession
in au English magazine Mr. Harvey at
tempts to write a criticism of a new
play, "Boy O’Carroll,” in which both
he and wife appear. His estimate of
his own acting is given with a show
of pleasant prejudice, after which he
proceeds to say:
“In dealing with the performance of
Miss de Silva I have a distinct diffi
culty. Thanks to the journalists who
do not concern themselves with dra
matic criticism, but with personality
pure and simple, the public is aware
of the relationship which exists be
tween us in private. If as a critic I
fail to write in such glowing terms
about her performance of the boy
Paudheen as she thinks I ought and as
this opportunity ofTers, it is obvious
that I shall lay up for myself some
thing more than a bad quarter of an
hour. Were it only a quarter of an
hour it would not matter much, it is
the Tittle more—and liow much it Is,’
which troubles me, not ’the little less,
and what worlds away.’ If, on the
other hand, yielding to the claims of
domestic peace and uxorial pride, I
express my admiration of the truth
and technical quality of her acting, she
will unhesitatingly insist that in my
purely managerial capacity I should
raise her salary. Which shall l do?
As 1 used to say as ‘Hamlet’: ’That is
the question.' ”

A WIDELY CELEBRATED TARIFF REFORMER
9
We speak of the Englishman, Joseph Chambe
lain, who recently, on the occasion of the eelelm
tlon at Birmingham of his seventieth birthday,
sent out this characteristic message to the nation:
"Treat foreigners as they treat us and treat your
kinsmen better than you treat foreigners."
Joseph Chamberlain is immensely popular an!
immensely unpopular, but appears equal to cop
ing with both friend and foe. When assailed at
he was so strongly during the Boer war and it!
preceding and subsequent problems, his cool, cyn
ical meeting of attacks opposed formidable fron
to those that attempted to down him.
Early in his career he was three times electee
mayor of Birmingham, and during his terms o'
office carried through many public improvements
in the face of obstinate opposition. In 1885 he
became member of parliament, soon won distine
non, uemme widely Known uv reason ot the advo
cacy of popular reforms. For a time he was the recognized elader of the Rad
ical party; but later organized the Liberal Union party which supported the
Conservatives, and was called “renegade” by the Home Rulers.
In 1888 he came to this country as chief commissioner, effected an agree
ment in the Canadian fisheries dispute. This same year he married an Amer
ican woman, daughter of W. E. Endicott, secretary of war. in 1891 we find
Mr. Chamberlain leader of the Liberal Union party in the Commons. In the
“coalition ministry” of the Marquis of Salisbury he became colonial secretary
and proved himself most zealous in developing the interests of the British
colonies
An ardent disciple of the new diplomacy. Joseph Chamberlain has labored
assiduously for an Anglo-American alliance.
THE ADVENTURES OE GENERAL DIAZ
The long, peaceful, highly successful career of
President Diaz is not so picturesque as his life the
years preceding the occupancy of the presidential
chair. And it may be of interest to go back to
the days prior to modern, progressive Mexico—•
modern and progressive largely by reason of the
man at the helm—and note the adventures experi
enced by Porfirio Diaz.
it would seem the count of Monte Cristo had
no more call lor daring and resourcefulness than
Diaz had in that period when Mexico was strug
gling to reach it national existence. During his
soldier days Diaz was thrice made a prisoner and
thrice made romantic escape. The first time he
broke away from his captors and on horseback
dashed over a high stone wall. The second time
he outwitted his jailers in the closely guarded
prison at Puebla, stole out by night on to the roof
of the building where he was confined, then along
oilier roofs and then down a rope in safety to the ground. The last trial and
victory was experienced on board a vessel as he was returning l'rotn his first
visit to the United States. Among the fellow passengers were numbers of his
enemies, bitter enemies only longing tor a chance to do him harm. Knowing
he must forfeit liberty, and perhaps life, as soon as the boat landed, he drew
to his aid the purser, with this officer arranged a plot that included a pretense
of jumping overboard. The enemies thought he had thus sought escape from
them, while really he was safe hid in a box-couch in the purser's room and
listening to the surmises of his foes.
President Diaz' mother was a full-blooded Indian, his father of good Span
fsh-Ainerican blood: and thus the different elements of the country are repre
sented in "Don Porfirio," as the Mexican people affectionately call their ruler.
WINSTON CHURCHILL, AMERICA
Scribbling and politics not infrequently go
hand in hand these days, a man dividing his time
betweeu the two. And we would speak of Winston
Churchill, author and now candidate for election
as governor of New Hampshire. (And over in
England there's the other Winston Churchill—un
doubtedly the gentleman calls himself the Winston
Churchill—who in his time has played soldier,
war correspondent, author and politician.)
Our Winston Churchill gave up a naval career
to engage in literary work, and now may have to
surrender literature if he takes earnestly to poli
tics. The Author-politician was born in St. Louis,
in 1 ST 1, after preliminary schooling entered the
1'nited Stales Naval Academy, graduated there
from in 189-1. Among his early writings were
short naval stories which attracted considerable
attention. “Richard Carvel” was his first great
success: an earlier work. "The Celebrity.” “Rich
and Carvel” was followed by ' The Crisis,” "Mr. Keegan's Blopement,” "The
Crossing." and last the political novel. "Collision.”
Mr. Churchill in 1902. now far famed for his writings, entered politics, made
a successful campaign for election to the New Hampshire legislature, having
for several years made his home in Cornish, N. H. He served in the legislature
two years, was a delegate to the last Republican national convention.
Mr. Churchill has shown much interest iu American history of the past,
now is to take a hand in the making of some history. Probably the American
voter will pay considerable tribute io the man with the pen.
BUND TO DIRECT EDUCA TION FOR THE BLIND
Helen Keller, ilie wonderful blind, deaf and
dumb girl, has recently been appointed member of
the Massachusetts board of education for rhe blind
The board was recently created, provided by the
Massachusetts legislature largely at the solicita*
tion of Helen Keller.
The wonderful results that have followed the
efforts to open the world of thought and beauty
to this famous blind girl, have been an inspiration
the, world over to workers in behalf of those that
cannot see. Miss Keller is a strong believer in
industrial training for persons afflicted with blind
ness. and probably during her service on the board
will further with characteristic enthusiasm this
training.
Helen Adams Keller is a graduate of Radeliffe
college, one of our best schools for women: fin
ished the four years' course, was graduated with
the degree A. B. She is author as well as college
woman, ner literary style oi an excellence.
Miss Keller now makes her home in the north, but she comes from the
south. She is related to well-known families of both north and south, the
Adamses and Everetts of New England, the Pottswoods and Lees of Virginia.
She was born at Tuscumbia, Ala.: at the age of 19 months an illness left her
blind and deaf. Until the ays of seven years little was done in the way of
teaching her, when Miss Anna Sullivan, who had received training at the
Perkins institution in Boston, assumed charge of the unfortunate child. Helen
at that age was little more than a wild animal, very difficult to control. With
infinite patience and skill her teacher led her out of darkness, to-day she is a
beautiful, cultured, splendid woman.
GEORGES BENJAMIN EUGENE CLEMENCEAU
The French minister of the interior Is said to
have more friend* and more enemies than any
other man in public life. For half a century he
has been the "most radical of Republicans, the
severest critic of every administration and the
scourge of public officials.”
Clemenceau holds the most important post in
the cabinet of President Fallieres. Though a thor
ough politician he has not been an office seeker, for
the last ten years has devoted himself rather to
journalism than politics, editing a radical .journal.
, Recently his friends, and likewise his enemies,
have been greatly surprised by his change of atti
tude. by his pronouncement that socialism is at
variance with every sound doctrine of the repub
lic. That he was able to keep down the recent
riots, riots which almost reached the point of
revolution, has brought him the confidence of
many, to him is given the credit of saving the day.
Long ago in his youth, while a medical student, engaging in political
intrigues cost him his privileges as a student. He decided^ to try foreign air
for his health about this time, and included the states in his travels When
he returned home he completed hie studies and began the practice of his pro
fession.
He has written fiction, social studies, trenchant articles on current mat
ters, under the latter we would mention a series in defense of Dreyfus.
! IN THE FLOWER CARDEN.
Seeds May Be Dropped Late Here and
There—Bring Very Welcome
Late Bloom.
Wherever a large weed Is pulled out,
irop in a few seeds of some flower. If
|fOU do not, other weeds will come to
replace the ones pulled and one might
letter have patches of blooming flow
trs late in the season.
There are many of the free-flower
ing annuals that make a fine fall dis
play when sown (perhaps a little later
would do), among them being sweet
alyssum and nasturtium—the latter .
being in the seed-producing stage jti3t
when the pods are wanted in the fall
pickling campaign.
Perennials like the hollyhock, candy
tuft. phlox, pansy and others sown
during the month (June) give well-es
tablished plants that endure the win
ter well, and bloom early the following
year, writes Eva Gaillard, in the Na
tional Magazine.
Insects of all sorts will be living
the “strenuous life” and we will need
to wage a no less strenuous warfare
in order to overcome them. If a plant
fails to do well and no insects are
visible on the tops, examine the soil
and roots. In the garden where plants
are grown in masses pull out one and
examine the root very closely. Some
times when no insect is found, evi
dence of their work is there and by
doctoring the soil we can reach them.
Insecticides of all sorts (too numer
ous to be mentioned here) are to be
had, hut in using any that is new, use
caution with it, for in this work as
elsewhere, “too much is as bad as
none at all.”
As the hot, dry season comes on be
gin to mulch those plants which do not
have foliage sufficiently large or dense
to shade the soil. The mulch may he
lawn-clippings or any other substance
that covers the soil and serves to keep
it cool, and prevent evaporation.
The mulching system prevents the
burning of the small feeding roots
that are near the surface, smothers ou'.
a vast number of weeds and lessens
the amount of cultivation and water
ing that would otherwise be required.
CULTURE OF SWEET-PEA.
Brush Best for the Plants to Climb On
—On Wash Day Throw the
Suds About Roots.
Oh. the grace and beauty and fra
grance of the sweet pea! Who does
not love it? Begin at once to plan
to give it a small spot, if you cannot
afford a large one. and you will real
ise a wealth of blossoms for every
foot of ground given it.
The best thing for sweet peas to
climb on is brush from the orchard.
Many people think wire netting nicer
but unless the vines completely cover
it, the hot sun heats it, which scorches
the vines so that they die. For great
est convenience in cutting it is best
to plant in two rows, which also
shades the ground, so that it will re
tain moisture longer. On wash day
give them the dirtiest soap suds you
have, also very much diluted chamber
slops, given once a week will bring
many blossoms. In very dry weather
a good soaking two or three times
every week will be sufficient.
AVhen the blossoms have come do
not let everybody cut them, whether
they understand it or not. You wilt
notice that each cluster has two or
three blossoms. Be sure not to cut
any of the clusters until the buds are
all fully open. If you wish to pro
long the blossoming to frost do not
allow them to go to seed.—Farm and
Home.
Jellies.
.lellies are usually made of strained
fruit juice, cooked with sugar, equal
proportions of each. Do not use too
ripe fruit—just a little under-ripe is
best for jellies. If the fruit is very
juicy, no water is needed, otherwise
a little water may be added. If the
fruit is not very acid, use a little less
sugar. Cook fruit soft and straiu
through cheese-cloth jelly bag. Do
not squeeze, but allow to hang over
nig*t. Boil fruit juice from five to
ten minutes, add hot sugar, which
was heated in the oven, and boil five
or ten minutes more. Too long boil
ing will result in a paste instead of
jelly. Cool and seal the same as
jams, as directed above.
Coffee Jelly.
To one quart of coffee (as prepared
for the table) one-half box of gelatine.
Soak the gelatine in two-thirds cup
of cold water for one-half hour or
longer, then set the cup in hot water
until the gelatine is thoroughly dis
solved. Add one-half cup sugar to the
quart of hot coffee and stir in the malt
ed gelatine and a little vanilla before
the whole thickens. Set in a cool place
to mold and serve with cream and
sugar.
Baked Apples.
One of the most wholesome dishes
is a baked apple. It is delicious at
breakfast as well as at supper. In
fact, apples in almost any form are
invaluable. For variety's sake try
peeling the apples before baking theni.
Peel and core them, fill the hollows
with spice and sugar, and bake long
enough to give them a thin crust.
Sometimes a bit of butter is placed
on top of each apple before putting it
in the oven. Serve them cold with
whiped cream.
Spanish Cream.
To one pint of milk add one-half
box of gelatine; let it heat slowlv until
the gelatine is dissolved. When at a
boiling point stir in quickly the yolks
Df three eggs and a cup of sugar and
when the mixture thickens stir in the
whites of the eggs, beaten to a stiff
froth. Remove from the stove, flavor
