ODD STORY OF AN ILLINOIS GIRL , She U'ns Dead lu All Appearance * 1'ct lilvcil From lny ) to liny Wonderful Testimony of Her I'rlciulH. There Is bdlng prepared for the next lenuo of tlio London Jourtinl of 1'nyclil- cal Kuscnrcli , by Dr. Kiuhurd Hodgson , No. fl Koylttton Pluco , Boston , a remarkable - able papar on n cabo of dual pcrtjoiiiillly. Dr. Hodgson lifts intido u thorough study of the case , which la that of a girl 'of fourteen years. This in the strange story the doctor tolla : Mnry ( iiu-aiioy Voiimun was living In Watioku , 111. , where for nourly a year ho lust lioi- own identity with all mem ory o ( her own self and her friends , and noted the part of another person whom iho really believed herself to be. As a girl of thirteen nho buunmo subject to cntolopllu Ills and trances. She would often fall upon the lloor without , wariilny and remain rlgM and uppa- rontly dead for hours. She had been affected In this way for about a year when she awoke ono ovontiignftor a par- tlcularly long1 spoil of unconseiousnc.ss , tmd was unable to rocognino cilhor her lather or her niothor. Nor could she recall a sinjjlo uvonl of her past life , and declared that Her name wan Mary Roll , and oho wished "to " go homo. No pleading nor reasoning could change this blrungo idea. COMI'UiTK LOSS OF IDI5NTITY. Now Mr. and Mrs , Kofivero family ncqtiiltitancod ; of tlio Vonnuins , and had taken a deep interest in the allllctcdgirl. Thirteen yours before their own daugh ter jMary , nged ninutoon , had died oC a similar inalndy. The young girl per- fiifeted that she was Mary RolT , and ex hibited all the signs of homesickness at being detained among strangers , Alt efforts to convince her of her own iden tity continued to bo unavailing , and , to use Mr. Vomuim's own words , "she Boomed like u child , really homesick , wanting to sou her father and moth or mid her brothers. She became melan choly , and eventually poovlsh , as she would bog piteously lor hours tit a time to bo taken "homo. " Ono day Mrs. EolT , aewmpanlecl by lior married daughter , called to see the strange reminder of her lost child. As the two women c.uuo in sight far down the street , Mary was locking out of the window. She cried out exultlngly , " "There comes my mother now and sister Nor vie. " Astheycamo Into the housosho caught them around their necks and wept and cried for joy. From this time on she scorned inoro homesick than over. At the urgent request of Mr. and Mrs. Holt the girl's parents re luctantly consented to humor their daiightor.and she was taken to the Holfs' homo. Upon arriving at the gate she insisted that they had stopped at the wrong house and that she lived next door. And strangely enough , though thin was unknown to the girl , the ad joining house had been the residence of the RotTs nt the time of their daughter's death. She appeared satisfied when told that her parents had moved during her absence. From the moment she first stopped Insiclo the door she treated all the mem bers of the household as old acquain tances , She understood all tl\cir \ peculi arities , as If she had boon reared among them. Showas perfectly familiar with every piece of furniture and every chair and picture , and seemed in every way happy and contented. Though she hud never oven visited the place be fore , she immediately recognized every object that had belonged to the dead girl and called it her own. Ono day shoran ran through the house several times as though looking for something , and she afterward said to Mrs. RolT : "Mother , where is Gyp ? I want to sec lilrn. I am afraid ho has not been prop erly cared for. ( iyp has been the favorite pot dog of Mary RolT , and had boon buried eleven years. His name hud never boon men tioned before Mary , and the Rolls never remember to htivo spoken of him slnct ? their acquaintance with the Vchnums. SOM15 WONDKUFUIi TESTIMONY. One day the girl looked up from a sort cf reverie and asked roguishly of Mr. UolT : "i'n , who was it that used to say confound ill' so mtnhY" Then she laughed heartily upon perceiving that ho understood It In bo himself she meant. The expression was ono which ho had frequently used years boforo. Upon ono occasion u Mrs. Parker , an old acquaint ance of tlio IJolTs , came in with her daughter-in-law , Nellie Parker by nnmo. Wary immediately recognized both of the woinon.calling Mrs.Pnrkor"Auntio" Parker and tlio other Nollio. 15ut when her own acquaintances and school mates visited ho" she did not recognize them at all , and would not con verso with them until in troduced. She thought some of her old friends very rude bccuuso of their famil iarity. She wis most civil and courte ous , however , to all friends of the UolY household , and talked with thorn as if she hurt always known thorn , and many of them she startled by the sin-priding knowledge she showed of their affairs. Ono evening Mary wont out in the yard and Mr. Roll'asked his wife to find a certain headdress worn bv his datigh- tar the year before her death. It was found and placed upon a table. The girl soon came In a ml exclaimed excit edly : "Oh , there is the headdress I wore when my hair was short. " She then asked for other things that she had never soon , and of which the real daughter had been very fond. Some of those wore things that the father and- mother had almost forgotten. . IIKK FOKMIMI SUM' UKTUlt.VS. Another time , tiftor running through a lot of letters of the girl she supposed herself to bo , she selected several dated later than the others and began answer ing them. They had been packed away thirteen years and many of the corro- Bpondon'.s ' wore dead. It , was after an swering BOino of thcso that yha arose , looked very sad , and , with tennis in her oyoa , said to Mrs. RolT ; "Ma , I'm afraid I'm going to leave you. " Ina few minutes she swooned and ro- inulned unconscious for several hours. Thou she recovered. She looked wildly about the room fora moment , as fcd emerging from a dream , and then cried out , hysterically- ; . _ _ "WbSio mu I ? Oh , whoi-0 am I ? \V1)0 Drought mo lioroV" Mrs. Holt replied , quietly : "Y"ou are nt Mr. RotI'd. You remem ber wo brought vou hero to bo cured inof your illness. " She began to crv. * She wanted to go homo , fiho euld. She was visited by her parents the same evening. She met. thorn with a shower of kisses and tokens of affection. Then she wished to know ) \ I how she came to that slrnngo house , pleading with thorn to lnko her homo nnd loll her why they had hopt her away BO long because of sickness when she felt as well na over. This was the first tltno she had recog nized her parents for many months. She wns Ink on homo hnmcdinloly. She greeted nil her old friends warmly , and wns exceedingly tender toward her mother. She slept roundly for two nights and ate nil her uicals with nppur- tint relish , Then on the third day she complained of a pain In her loft sulo , tinil towards evening fell into another lit. Upon waking she had no remembrance , what ever , of the last three days , nnd asked , In an irritated tone , why Mr. and Mrs. Vonmnn tried FO persistently to.keep her away from her own home. She did not recognize a thine about the house. She ignored nil her friends and com plained HO bitterly that she wna again allowed to live with the HolTs. One afternoon who declared with ( Treat anxiety Unit her In-other Frank must bo carefully watched the coming night , for ho would bo taken very sick. "And ho will dlo if ho Is not properly cared for , " she added. At " o'clock In the morning Frank wns attacked with something like n spasm and congostlvo chills which al most destroyed his mind. Ills life wns only saved by the greatest olTort. The girl would also often speak to inembors of the family about nmttors re lating to their private affairs. She could have had no incann of posting her self. How did she learn their secrets ? I'Vniik Ho IT came down 0:10 : evening simulating good spirits , as far as possi ble , when Mnry espied him. She tip- proacliod him very quietly and whis pered to him : "Well , brother , Surah will not marry you. But there nro many other girls who would make you a much bolter An hour previous ho had proposed marriage to a young woman and had boon refused. ai.VUY'S NKW ItUOTHKir. Mary was very fond of her now brother , nnd at times manifested hornfieotion so warmly that ho was somewhat embar rassed , Never did oho seem to compre hend in the least the peculiarity of her position. She practiced rogulnrly upon the piano , and generally selected the old pieces that had been favorites of JMnry Half. Some of these she coulu not play. Then she would remark : "I am out of practice ; .1 am forgetting what I once know. I esinnot alTord to neglect my music any moro. I must be gin it again in earnest. " She continued m the RolT family , be lieving herself the daughter and acting as such in every particular for about ton months. At the end of this time she had another fit and became- herself again. She was removed to Rollins county , Kansas , and has boon in the ccst of health from that time on. Dr. Hodgson visited both Watsoka nnd the girl's present homo in Kansas. Ho claims that ho can verify the greater part of the foregohi" story with the best of testimony , fir. 3 lodgson regards the affair as a remarkable case of thought traiiBforronco , and explains it , thus : "Tho girl was suffering irom frequent and acute attacks of catalepsy.Vliile in this delicate condition she was visited by Mr. and Mrs. RolT. She reminded them very forcibly of their departed daughter , whom she resembled very much. Their daughter had died of the same difeordor and had di&plnyed the same symptoms. "What could bo more natural if thought transforrenco is ever posslb'.o without the aid of thcsons3s , than the intense feelings towards their absent daughter , just aroused , should impress her personality upon the cata leptic child ? And when the communion between the different minds hud been once established , independent of the senses , what should hinder its continu ance for an indefinite period ? " . N. II. Kulcoiier.

Frank Pine , the notorious bunko man and mining shark , who la his time pulled the wool over the eyes of the Prince ot Wales , and ' who engineered the MolTnt bank robbery , is dead , says a Denver special to the Chicago Tribune. Pine died August 10 in Now York under the luuno of Dolinont , and while engi neering a dqnl in Colorado mines in a district where no ore had ever been pro duced. Pine is the smoothest confidence man this country over produced. Sixteen years ago in this city no disposed of ever a dozen gold brieks for various sums inside of eight months. But the biggest deal ho ever entered into and the boldest was the planning and carrying1 out of the rob bery of President MolTat of S21.000 in this city. Ho obtained the money'in n manner that has just cotno to light. After MolTat had given the money to the thief which ho had deposited in his overcoat pocket ho had hardly stopped outsldo the door when the overcoat was passed to another man , who abstracted the money. IIo in turn passed the coat to a third party. The money was then done up in a jewelry box and expressed to Kansas City , where the money was divided among four men , Pine potting the lion's shnio. Pine sold William W. Drowsier of Knnas City nn imaginary gold mine in Arizona for $15,000 hist May , but the trick having been turned In .Maryland nothing was done with him. Frank Pine has sold moro car loads of worthless rock for valuable ere than any man living. IIo sold a portion of Clour creek twelve years ago to an Englishman , In order to do which ho wont to London , became ac quainted with th prince , hobnobbed with him at a fashionable club , nnd fleeced his victim out of 2,000. lid know moro than any man about the MolTut bank robbery , but died with the secret on Ills lips. \Vhon ho loft Denver five months ago , at a time when his physician said ho could not live , ho arose from his bed , walked to the Mnrkhnm hotel , and sold $5,000 worth of real estate in West Denver , which ho never owned or expected to own. When ho died In Now York , ho was in company with two men named Shay and AVcston. Weston was ono of hla old-tlmo partners nnd Is p''osuuiefl to bo the inun who ac companied him on hla trip to Lor.uon twelve years ago. It Is now thought that a Frank Pine Is domlandhis terrifying influence burled with him ; that the woman in Kansas City , who is supposed to hnvo received : the proceeds of the MotTot robbery , may now confess , Inasmuch ns it has boon squandered and there is $2,600 in It for ) her 1 ( she opens her mouth. Dr.Blruoy , neoaat ' .UroaU Oco bldg , ON A Gem of a Speech nt tlio niniilinttati Club ltnnitict < If nny evidence in the chain of prog ress was lacking to establish the fact that the Manhattan Athletic club of Now York had reached the topmost rung in the ladder of metropolitan fume , the tributes paid to it and to Us bu'ld- ' ing committee the other night by Clmuncoy M. Dopow , Robert G. Ingot-soil and others nt the banquet in Dclmonlco's ball room , should supply the missing links. Over ono hun dred and fifty men , distinguished in the tithlotio and social world , marched in couples into the banquet hall at T0 : ! ! o'clock while tlio orchestra in the bal cony played u lively march , says a dis patch to the St. Louis GlobeDemocrat. . They took their souls at three tables decked with young palms and cheery diamond emblems , when J. V . II. Arnold , the presiding oflleor , gave the signal. Dinner had scarcely begun when all eyes were turned to the .speaker's table. There , at the extreme right , occupying' chairs next to the ono reserved for Mayor Grant , who did not arrive , wore Robert G. Ingersoll and Rev. Dr. N. jMay- nard. Gcorgo AV. Can- , the president of the club , told the bovs a dream which ho had about the building of the club. It was clovurly told , and its bur den wan of a bird that carried a great load upon its back up a river against tide and rapids , and especially airnltwt something that was not mortal , bub which had a wing upon Its log. [ Ap plause. ] "The bird's name was Swann , " said ho , "and the little cloud that helped it along was Storm , and the old man who looked out of the window was Sage , and you can't ' go very far in In nlr qr on land without a Car. " Ho tnankcd the mem bers for their grateful remembrances. Mr. Arnold , who is nresldent of the board of aldermen , introduced the llrst speaker , Chimney M. Dopow. who re sponded to the toast ; "Modern Athletics from the Standpoint ot an American. " tie wild , among other things : "I know nothing of athletics. I don't understand a game when I see it , and that is probably tlio reason why I have been elected an honorary member of the Manhattan Athletic club. This organ ization wanted to exhibit to the world a frightful example of a man who didn't know anything about athletics. In the old days we played baseball where wo honestly caught the ball and were put out by being stung by the ball. Now a man roaches the base by sliding out on hisnoac. At the conclusion of a game of foot ball a man could spend the even ing with his best girl ; now ho spends it with his doctor. " Mr. Arnold then Introduced Robert G. Ingorsoll amid a storm of applause. IIo responded to the toast "Athletics Among the Ancients. " JNIr. Ingersoll said : "Human nature is much the same now as in the olden time. It was manly to cultivate the art of self defense. It pleases mo to have hoard a clergyman speak , with whoso every word I agree. 1 say it never hnpponcd'boforc. I think the llrst athletic record was a chariot race in the llrst book of the Illitul. It was described so that you feel the dust of the chariot wheels. A fair woman was the prize. The second was a , pugilistic encounter with a mule for a prize. Man has al ways been a lighting animal and self-do- foiiio is the best thjng to learn. The most precious of inanimate things onro the Greek statues. In thorn wo find the highcstptypos of endeavor. They are the richest legacies thn nations have left our r.ice. Tlio Puritans 116 moro thought of athletic sports th in shipwrecked sailors on a r.ift thought of amateur theatrjci. Is. Cleanliness was not next to god liness with them ; it was the opposi'o. Everybody knows that Calvinism was ttio child of indigestion. Nothing was so attractive us a socety belle with a .drug store attachment in these times. It was a joy to bo too weak to work. To bo self-respecting wo must work , and if wo work wo shall whew the development of work In our bodies. It is the brow that makes the crown of glory green , not the giver. "When athletic contests become p r- sonal they become dangerous. Anything that tends to brutalize the inner feelings should bo avoided. There Is nothing moro degrading than pugilism. No gen tleman should countenance the loss of life for sport. Such sports are only to bo enjoyed by the cannibals of central Africa. Gentlemen should hold such snorts in unspeakable contempt. No civilized man enjoys the inllietion of pain. Millions of people go from the cradle to the collin without knowing what it is to live ; they simply postpone death. I believe in tlio gospel of physical development , in the beautitudo of'comradeshlp , of generosity and happiness. Whoever is useful is happy , and whoever is happy is a suc cess. Whoever plucks tlio fruit of his own good work is a good follow. I Hove in salvation , and it may seem strange to you , but I believe in heaven hero and now. In the heaven of use tulnoss and homo. To tlio gentlemen wo honor tonight wo owe the greatest athletic club in the world. " Long cheering followed by "Who is Robert G. Ingersoll ? " All-"First in peace , first in war , ' llrst in tlio hearts of the M. A. C. " This was glvon tiftor every speech , but it scorned to have gained impetus as it traveled. The best and surest dye to color the beard brown or black , ns may bo desired , is Uuck- iiiKUnia's dye for the whiskers. It never fulls.
