MRS. SARAH ALTHEA TERRY.
She Is Taken 10 the Stockton
Asylum.
How She Made the Trip-The Court to Be
Asked to Appoint Guardian for Her
Person and Estate.

After Mrs. Terry left Judge Levy's court
on Thursday she was driven to the Home of
the IDebriates, where every attention TO her
comfort was given. Singular to say she did
not request to return to court In the after
noon, and during the rest of the day never
required to the incidents of the morning.
She chatted pleasantly at times with Dr.
Jewell and the inmates, read portions OF a
novel, and occasionally accompanied herself
on the piano. She partoOk heartily OF her
lunch and dinner, and retired to her own
room at 8 O'Clock without any intimation
from her attendants that she should do So
Yesterday she spent the morning at the
home, and from time to time could be seen
taking in the view from the upper windows.
Mammie Pleasant, who has been the faith
full friend of the unfortunate woman
through her long series of troubles. was on
hand at noon. AT 2 O'clock she, with lady
friend. began to prepare Mrs. Terry for her
trip TO Stockton. A little later carriage
drove up to the door. which at once excited
her suspicious.
Nv here are you going to bring me? she
den nded repeatedly.
"Neyer mind" was Mrs. Peasants re-
ply. Just put your hat and cloak on.
Mrs. Terry was not satisfied, and ii was
some time before size could be persuaded to
enter the carriage. Her trends had hoped
that she would go QUIETLY, but. as the car
rage hurried toward the ferries her suspi-
cions became stronger and it was with con-
siderable difficulty that the Deputy Sheriff
and Mrs. Pleasant could keep her in her
seat.
There is something wrong here" she
would exclaim. Il don't think you are
taking me to court. You are trying to spirit
me away, but l will not go?"
For all that there was little trouble In get
ting her to the ferry and aboard the train.
Her faithful Mammie accompanied her TO
Stockton, where she has made provisions
out of heI own purse for her careful treat
ment
