Yesterday on the west bound passen-
ger train an old lado developed signs Of
insanity, and when the train arrived here
she got off and refused to go aboard any
more, declaring that there were people on

She was placed in charge Of Officer
Bean, who says he had more trouble
"herding'' that old crazy woman than be
ever did in anything else in all the official
positions he ever held. He waltzed her

stances. Lately she played "Rosalind'
in an out door performance of As You
Like 1t, given by amateurs on the
grounds of the residence Of Lady Archi-
bald Campbell, at Kingston, England.

and she will succeed. Blood will tell.
She is a great-grand-daughter of John G.
Calhoun, the famous South Carolina
statesman.
