Death CT Little Caroline Terbass, a Remark
able Freak of Nature.


New York World.
Poor little Caroline Terbass spent seventy six
years and seven months trying to reach a wom-
ans estase. and then gave mp the vain endeavor
and died Freakish nature had made an uncom-
pleted job of her. Up to her twelfth year she
was apparently like other girls; then she sud
denly stopped, never to grow again. Although
living some years beyond the average of human
ife the girl never became a woman, and when
the coroner came to view the remains, she hay-
ing died without medical attendance, he found
the body of girl of eleven, topped by the head
of maturity and the face of age. For many
years Miss Terbass was a familiar figure on
Fifth avenue, in the neighborhood of the reser-
vOir, and many people talked about the child
woman who lived at Forty first street. Nobody
could guess her age, for there was not light
streak in the dark tresses which she could nearly
walk upon, they being four feet long,
while she was only four feet three
inches in height. The kindly face
was somewhat sharp and aquiline, but it had few
of the wrinkles belonging to her great age.
Sometimes people block away heard her shrieks
and wondered. They did not know how very
sensitive her skin was, which caused her to cry
out when simply touched and to yell when
washed. Three sisters had grown to tall, fine
looking women, while little Caroline remained at
eeven's milestone. One of them, Mrs. Louisa
Burnam, was married but none Of them was I'M
faithful to her slsterly trust They cared tender
ly for the bright-witted little freak and when,
over year ago, her cries made her something of
nuisance they moved to less thckly popu-
lated neighborhood in East Seventeen street.
For about year the sensitiveness extended to
the nails, which Caroline has not allowed to be
touched. Lately she has been somewhat de-
mented. and she died suddenly yesterday, before
DIR. Frank o. Manning, the family physician.
could be called. Coroner MESSENGER took the
case there being undoubtedly great medical in
terest in it. and performed an autopsy yesterday
in the presence of DIR. Manning and DR.. A. c.
Antilles. Beyond the uncut toe and fnger-nails
and certain organic peculiarities, he found the
perfectly-formed body of an apparent girl of
eleven. The spine was straight and there was
no outward deformity. At the request of the
family he made no examination of the brain.

Pure Democrats.
Washin gton Special.
Friends of the President say that he has at
last resolved to abandon the mugwumps His
appointments hereafter will be bestowed upon
Simon-pure Democrats This does not mean that
machine men are to have the patronage, but that
Democrats instead of Republicans will be given
Offices and that George William Curtis, Henry
Ward Beecher, George r. Williams and men OF
their political stripe have received all the execu-
tive recognition they deserve.
Hereafter, unless the mugwumps indorse
Democrats for appointments they need not ex-
pect favors at the Presidents hands The new
era was inaugurated, Mr.. Cleveland's friends
say, when Joseph Hendrix was appointed post
master at Brooklyn, despite the efforts made by
of Mr.. McLeer the Republican IL umbent. Hen
dirk is follower of Boss Mclaughlin and an az
gressive Democratic partisan.
Some of the appointments made by the Presi-
dent for personal instead of political reasons
seem likely to fail of confirmation. One of this
class Is that of Warren Green, of Kentucky, to
be consul at Kanagawa, Japan The President
made the appointment at the request of Norvin
Green, of the Western Union Telegraph Com
pany, without consulting the Kentucky delega-
ton. The nomination has been reported ad-
versesy by the committee on foreign relations.
Another domination that may be rejected Is that
of Mr.. Beecher, son of Henry Ward Beecher, APP
pointed to be collector of customs at Port Town

The Republicans will be entirely satisfied if
this reported programme for the future Is carried
out. The discussion shat took place in the SEN
