Hirschberg, who hiss just been released
from the Louisville workholse and is
again under arrest, charged with big
amy. tells long story y; the DOCTORS
adventures She ha, information with
regard to five of his companions. He
began by marrying German nursa
girl in tho Cincinnati hospital. Then,
ut B,hMlo. no married an Irish girl; at
Cleveland he married Jewess; ut
Montreal q French giri, and ut Now
Orleans u mulaitu. Since then, tho
tenth wife says, ho has married six diff
ferent American women, and she r,Aher
thinks he il the most successful '1nasil-
err in the world.
The Vuoerest part of the informa ton
relates, however,, TO tho gullibility Of
the average woman. her tutor failure rs
judge Of character. her apparent
eagor1lcss TO marry, and her readiness
to accept the advances OF inca Of whom
s!lo knows positively nothing. Worry
likely the doctor selected his victims
from tho lower glasses of wonion; bu,
there should be sharpness about them
to certain extent, and indeed WI be-
lieve tho necessity which constantly
surrounds them Is calculated to sharpen
rather than dull their wits. The quack
has many patients, but as matrino-
NAL alvepturer he shouk! certainly
have few victims. Anybody, oven the
most ignorant and the ttuslest person,
should knew tho Gtk,ek ss fMmbIg at
sight Il is not ontirely Surprising that
men and women should employ him rs
a physician, for tie aches and pains
they wish to get rid of frequently make
them mentally weak. aud when the
regular physician has failed they have
nothing to do in their despair but pray
for miracles and patroNize tho q,lack;
but that.a woman should voluntarily
place her life and all that she has in
tho hands Of such u person and expect
happiness as a result passes the ordi-
nary comprehension.
And the quack need not be hand
soine, OF 4 promising person In any
way. If he bc twice tho aey Of Tho
woman and tit only. Judging from his
looks and achievements, for association
with idiots. that makes no difference
~ aIl lie has Il glib tongue. and that
covers MI the deficiencies. lie talks to
the w;mau smoothly and at longth,
using tho largest words anu aping the
largest erudition, and tho less sh.
catches his meaning the InUrp she
ndIpirps him. He wears glasses aud
looks wise. ILL.,; business has given
him an inpudeuoc that passes in he,
mind for the confidence That sometimes
attends knowledge anl experience, and
she is poor critic. Probably SHE h:w
hail few chances 10 marry--for the
Guack IS shrowd ia his selections as
general thing and her oager,icss tc
marry is the sEain CAUSE Of her destrtio-
ton: but how many leases are there OF
really bright ard handsome women
who have become enalnored Of aged
and ignorant g,la,ks and have continued
10 have affection for them until they
turned out 70 b. scoundreIs rs wel!2
The success of this kentucky .tnaok
Will bring to tho readers mind 3 dozen
similar eases, and tho question whether
women arc progressing rs much ns it is
claimed they are ought to DO brought
before the debating societies; but there
is a pathetic side to tho matter in tie
necessity which AFFECTS most Unprotected
women owing to tho limited proportions
of the money they are able 20 earn. -aad
In their natural and acquired ycarnins
