4 Southern Woman Who Liked Stale Food

ELMTRA N. Y, June 18-About twenty years

came possessed of the idea that the people of the
North were her enemies, and would eventually
murder her Ever siEce the time mantioned she
has occupied rooms in a tenement building on
the corner of Main and Cliston streets. She
lived on stale meat vegetables aud berries that
she gathered from neighboring stores and
tkrivea on that kind of diet. putting to rout all
theories regarding the unwholesomeness of stale
food promulgated by the doctors. Although she
has well-to-do relatives in Indiana, who have
paid her rent aud sent her money, she re-
fuses to have anything to do with them. In
all these years she has Stunned sociery and
wanted neither man, woman nor child to associate
with or even TO speak TO- Her sole associates
have been number OF pets-a canary bird. a
hen, rooster and pigeon being the chief ones
At one time her rooster. from some unknown
canse, died. She grieved as over the loss ofsa
child, but got the better OF her and raised
another rooster. The strangest thing about this
proceeding is that the hen refused to set. and
she therefore trained the pigeon TO that duty.
Her rooms were fillad with every imaginable ar
ficle-od kettles bones. sticks and all kinds of
rubbish that could be picked up in the streets
until the place was filed The premises where
she lived finally became so filthy that the board
or health abated the nuisance. Her brothers
were written to- and they professed willing
ness to support her and do anything in their
power to alleviate her condition. A consulta-
ton resulted in the decision that il was best to
send her to an asylum, and she was taken to
Buffalo yesterday.

tention to use the severest measures to repress

with frantic cheers, which rang long and lond.
Lord Salisbury may deny that he advocated CO.
ercion, but his own words and acts prove that
he did. He vainly endeavors to escape, but he
is caught in a net wherein he is inextricably
caught. His other alternatives simply

those quicksands, however imposingly named.

Reflect, each one of you in the name of Almighty
Cod each one In the sanctuary of his chamber,
in the sanctuary of his heart his soul, what 1t
is in this year of 1SS6-after nearly a century of
continued coercion. becoming weaker and weaker,
more and more odious and less and less effective
as we go along, repudiated by large majority
of the Irish mem bers-what it is to propose
coercion as an alternative to local government in
Ireland. [Cheers. Do not allow yourselves to
be carried away by craven fears. but believe that
by acting justly you will act strongly. Cheers
Justice is always strong. Join US in our effort
TO close this painful, terrible, awful chapter of
the strain between England and Ireland,
which for centuries and centuries has
in the eyes and judgment of the
world. Join US in this happy, yea, holy effort,
and, rely upon it. if we attain our end, we shall
have done more, perhaps, to the honor of Great
Britain than even the happiness of Ireland"

The Gladstone party in Gre

The Gladstone party in Great
Britain, in their defeat, are happy.
They claim that Salisbury and his
party will within few months "be
out" and tive will be back again" by
reason of the selection of Sir Randolph
Churchill to be leader of the House of
Commons. SIR Randolph is said by
the Gladstone people to be a political
who will "smash" things,
and the mass OF the people will not
stand that sort of craftsmanship. 1t
is possible that Churchill is more of a
jockey than of a political leader. If
he were not so inclined naturally, the
Jerome woman he has for wife would
soon turn him into one.
