AT the foot OF East Fifty-second street
about fifty men and boys and few
women were collected, and they recog-
nized the PrirccGs Immediately. Re-
gardless of grammer, they all cried:
"Thats her!" and all their curious eyes
were turned upon her. She sat down
upon wooden bench in the full glare OF
the sun and looked pensively down the
river. Her face was considerably worn,
and she appeared ten years older than
when she made her first appearance in
the police court. She had to wait ten min
utes before the little tug tnat runs be-
tween Fifty-second street and Blackwell's
Island tied up at the wharf. Then the
deputy assisted her on board. She was
the only prisoner, and the other passen-
gers were two medical students and n
San reporter. The Princess sat upon
the rail OF the boat near the stern and
chirped coniidentially to collarless,
hairy dog who was watching the tide.
The dog ran away and hid himself in
the wheel-house.
"Who are those young men" whis-
pered the Princess.
Medical students, guess" respond
ed the deputy.
"Those two together may be-" she
said, "but the other is reporter. l can
tell them. / wonder the boat is not full
OF them"
Then she asked if in the ceremonies
Of reception the officials would weigh

weigh 230 pounds"
"More than that, l guess" ventured
the deputy, smiling.
"Oh, no! l assure you, only 230. You
are large man and that's what makes
you think me so heavy. Still, il they
weigh me l sha'n't object; / intend to
give no trouble"
At the warden's Office the Princess
shook hands with the deputy end
thanked him for his courtesy. Then
she went behind the big iron gate and
disappeared in charge OF Deputy Ken
nedy. A few minutes later Warden
Pillsbury received her commitment pa
per with the record OF her description
noted upon it.
She told the prison people that she
was born in Florence, Italy, thirty-nine
years ago, and that she had been in
America thirty five years.
II am q Roman Catholic in religious
belief," she said, "and am a spiritualis-
tic medium by occupation"
Her height WIS found to be five feet
two inches, and when she stepped upon
the platform scales the tell-tafe machine
registered her weight as 275l pounds.
Matron FitzsimiaOns made her take Il
tub bath, after which she put on prison
gown, and was taken, 10 the sewing
room, where she was set TO work making
dresses, shrouds, table cloths, and other
matters Of that kind used in the various
institutions on the island. Only six
times during her term will she be per-
mitted to receive visitors or write letters :;
and the first time this relief will come
will be at the end OF thirty days impris-
opment.
