POOR ANNA DICK INSON.
THE FACT OF HER INSANITY MADE
PLAIN.
She Addresses New York Audie nee on
Personal Liberty and Uses Language
RepuSnant to Decency.

NEW YoRK, April 26.-At the close OF
the performance at the Broad way thea
ter tonight Anna Dickinson made her
first public appearance since her deliv-
erance from the insane asylum. The
audience was not large, but welcomed
the gifted woman with applause. She
opened her address upon Personal
Liberty" with violent attack upon the
Republican party, and dwelt at great
length upon what she termed the private
character of Mr.. Wanamaker and J.. s.
Clarkson, attributing her imprisonment
in the Danville asylum to the conspiracy
of Clsrkson, Colonel Dudley and Senator
Quay. Her personal Characterization
were in many instances repugnant to
decency, and the ladies who occupied
the orchestra chairs, arose with their
escorts and left the theatre. The coun-
tenances OF the audience indicated pity
and regret as they listened to her ram
BILE about a visit to Mr.. Harrison at
Indianapolis. She frequently punctuated
her utterances with this question:
swell, do you think am insane 2" The
effect of her discourse did not strengthen
the belief of her hearers in her sanity.
She avowed that she was promised
$3.50 for every speech she made in 1888,
and $4,000 each if her candidate was sue
,cessful. After bitterly scoring the vari-
'ous party leaders, she referred to Gen
Deral Butler. These are some of her
words: 'The papers have said there
has been a conspiracy between us. Mr..
Butler has written me letters, and they
were addressed to Lizzie. He is the
only man who ever addressed me by my
middle name. He knew what he was
doing, but will answer for it all in
court of law. l have had unnumbered
sorrows, and do not place the veil over
any of them"
Speaking of her theatrical experience,
she declared vehemently that the press
of the country mad magnified her failure.
She never lost money by the venture.
Her income, she said, had long been
$4,000 annually, and she had lost $4,000
in bond speculation. She gleefully de-
clared that the defeat of Cleveland in
1888 was due to the fact that she had
been in the ranks against him.
The speaker rambled again towards
British politics, speaking of dining with
iParnell and thinking him a "little tin
god on Wheels"
She lauded the Democratic party, and
resorted again to such personalities that
her utterances were hissed and more of
the audience left. When it was all over,
many of those friends who remained
with growing sadness until the end,
slowly filed out of the play house with
words of commiseration and faces which
evidenced the fact that sorrowful con-
clusiOn had been reached,

Women Who Write.

know not only. one but several cases
in New York alone where young women
are making a good, yes, an excellent,
livelihood with the pen. But-and here
is strong point-they have certain
speciality, and by close study of one sub
ject they have become an authority in
their. line. One bright young woman
writes about nothing but fabrics for
fashion and trade papers, and makes an
income exceeding $500 per year, and
another woman has made speciality Of
fashion work, and she is perhaps the
best paid woman writer in New York
Her income is fully $4,000 a year.
There is a bright girl who supports
herself by going around the great shops
and finding out all the novelties in brio
a-brac, needlework and home decora-
ton. She writes and illustrates them,
and sells often single novelty for $25
and $50. She told me that during Christ
mas week she netted over $500. Another
bright girl has made study of fiction.
and reads all the manuscript novels for
one of the big publishing houses. She
receives salary of $4,000, and adds an
other 81 900 from outside connections.
Women who make their brain work pay
best are undoubtedly those who follow
specially, become an authority in their
particular line of work, and here very
often they can command their own
prices.-New York Letter,

WHO is SHE !?
AN UNKNOWN PRETTY GIRL DIES
IN A SHANTY.
She Leaves Baby Seven Days Old.
Nothing Positive Known About Her.
Is She Emma Christian?

Mounted Officer Sanchez reported at
police headquarters at l o'clock this
morning, that an unknown girl had last
evening died OF childbirth fever, in a
little shanty in the rear OF Thirty-eighth
street and near Wesley avenue.
The identity of the girl is shrouded in
mystery. The little cottage is occupied
by an old Spanish lady named Mrs.
Martinez. She states that the unfortu-
nate girl came to her house in deli
cate condition sometime in January
Last week she gave birth to a child, and
was attended by DR.. Charles Pratt.
Mrs. Martinez only knew her guest by
the name of Emma. She paid So a
month for the room, and always ap-
peared to be we'll supplied with money.
The dead girl is refined. looking. She
was a good looking brunette, and rather
petite. She appeared as if she might
be a Spanish girl, but she never talked
Spanish to Mrs. Martinez. That lady
thinks that she is of English birth. She
recently told a neighbor that she ex-
pected her husband any day, but he
never came.
The circumstances point to the con-
clusion that the girl had been deceived
by some wretch, and that she had
sought the secluded spot to hide her
disgrace from her relatives and friends.
On card was written: "Please come to
Mrs. Parent at Mrs. Martinez's." This
was luminous for the doctor. Mrs.
Parent was evidently fictitious name.
The following letter was also found in
the dead girls room:
AzUsA, Cal, March 20.
DEAR FRIEND MRS. JENKINS Thought
l would write few lines to you. l have
been thinking that you would worry
about me. You need not worry. am
getting along nicely, and just as we'll as
need be, and pretty soon l shall come
to see you and ali the dear folks at home !;
go now ! wish you to keep we'll and
happy, which I hope you are all at pres
ent. EMMA Christian.
N. B.-I came here to have some good
time for awhile, and don't want to see
any OF you yet. am getting along
nicely with these people, so now good
bye dear, and don't worry yourself about
me.
1t will be noticed that the letter is
uaCeu from hZusa, alLnOugn IL was writ
ten by the unfortunate girl day before
she died. Emma Christian is probably
her right name. The dead girl only
brought hand-satchel with her.
The girl died at O'Clock. Mrs. Mar
tinez is an old woman and not capable
of looking after little baby. 1t was
midnight before the case was reported
to the officers, yet no steps were taken
to look after the child. Something
should be done at once. Isn't there a
police matron to look after such cases,
even if they are found in the middle of
the night? The identity OF the unfortu-
nate girl will doubtless be established
this morning.
Later.-It is believed that the girl
until recently worked for a family on
Main street. The body was removed to
the undertaking parlors of Orr & Sutch.
at O'Clock this morning. taf5l =

A CHINATOWN MURDER.
A Chinese Woman Receives a Fatal
Wound.

Great excitement prevails in China
town. About $50 O'Clock last night a
Chinese woman who occupies house of
ill-fame on Aplablasa street was shot by
a Chinaman. The ball entered in close
proximity to the navel. The woman
was reported to be the wife of Wong
Ark, and the statement was made by
some of the Cinnamon about the vicinity
that she was shot by her husband.
The shooter escaped, and the wounded
woman was brought to the police station,
after being operated upon by Chinese
surgeon. DIR. Wing was called in, and
after making diagnosis of the case he
reported that she could not live. AT
midnight several friends of the woman
wanted a Chinese surgeon to handle the
case, so the dying woman was removed
to Chinatown.
A Chinese interpreter VINO was present
stated the dying woman said that she
had been shot by Wong Gin Dock.
She also gave her name as Yut
Cow The interpreter also says that she
is not the wife of Wong Ark. The po-
lice think, however, that she is Wong
Ark's wife. 1t will be remembered that
Wong Ark had trouble with his wife
and that she sought protection from the
police, and was subsequently sent to the
San Francisco mission in order to get
out of the clutches of her husband. 1t
was next to impossible to find out any
thing definite. Every Chinaman that
came along lied in his usually artistic
style. One Chinaman, who could speak
pretty good English, said that Wong
Ark's wife never went back to him.

Two Singular Showers.

On Saturday, Nov. II, 1889, there was
shower of peculiar shaped seeds over
an area of several square miles in the
vicinity of Statesburg, S. G. The shower
began about 11:30 a. m, and was noted
for twelve miles in one direction and
about seven and half in the other. In
the center of the district over which they
fell the ground was almost covered, the
noise made by them as they fell on the
leaves much resembling that made by
fine sleet When examined under the
microscope these seed, like granules, ap-
peared wholly di fferent from any seeds
known to botanists of that part of South
Carolina.
In the following month. December,
1889, Huntington, Ind, and vicinity was
treated to shower of strange worms.
They were only about the fourth of an
inch in length and about the diameter of
a small sewing needle. In some places
they fell iii such abundance as to cover
the snow and ice to the depth of nearly
half an inch.-St. Louis Republic.

responded by hitting Nelson over the head
with a bag of shot and grabbing the cash.
The injured man cried out, and his young
wife ran down in her night clothes. She
seized Baker just as he was about to in
flict another blow, and clung to him while
her husband ran to the street for police
man. When he returned with an officer
they found the poor bride dead, her throat
cut from ear to ear. An alarm was sent
all over the city, and Baker was captured
as he was boarding a north bound train.

TIME TO GET OUT.
TWO INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE NOT
WANTED HERE.
Talk of Organizing a Committee to See
Them Out of the City-The Charges
Against Them

A HERALD reporter was informed
yesterday that certain people in the city
are seriously contemplating the organ
ization Of d vigilance committee, not foI
hanging purposes, but with the inten-
tion of ridding. the town OF the presence
of two wretches, one who is the SEM
blance of a man and the other woman,
who, it is said, have used the most
nefarious methods OF attempting to
extort money.
Without doing great injustice to
several absolutely innocent people.
it is impossible to give the details
in this matter. Suffice it to say that
this man and his partner are accused of
celebrating fearful scandal, of spread
ing it about tile town sufficiently to
answer their purpose, and then of going
to one of the alleged principals and at
tempting to extOrt money on the threat
of giving the fabrication further and
complete publicity. Fortunately he
tackled the wrong variety of man for
his purposes, and was expeditiously and
unceremoniously thrown outside.
Since that occasion the two are said to
have occupied all their time in circulat-
ing the scandal, which. by the way, is
SO absurd that it is not easily under-
stood how it has been given any Gre
dence, until now there are few people
who have not had it brought to their at
tention.
If these statements are true, and there
are number of determined angry men
in the city who have investigated the
matter and say they are true, it is to be
hoped that the two creatures referred to
will decide that the wisest thing they
can do is to leave the city at once and
for all. Any act of violence in. the mat
ter would only result in trouble and in
jury to the tame of the city for peaceful
ness
