York claims Miss Green, Miss Wander

Teller during the time they are not in
Cleveland. Chicago divides Miss
Grants time with New York, while
California claims both Miss Burke and
Miss Fair, while the Bridge city holds
possession of Miss Post.
So the distribution across the country
is not an unequal one.
Letno one suppose that the posses
sion of millions makes all women alike,
and levels them or ra. les them to the
rank of society puppets, mere butter
flies to feed upon the sweets of life
and die when day is done, without
having accomplished anything more
than being beautiful. Far is this
from being the case with these nine
rich girls who are all as different as
possible, and who all are possessed of
very distinct characteristics

Girls Who Hynnotize.

Two pretty girls sat opposite me at
luncheon the other day, two healthy,
hearty, rosy, daintily dressed creatures,
who are very pretty disciples of Mesmer
and understand the force of hypnotic
suggestion. When the meal was over
and we slipped our coffee in the drawing
room, these sisters gave an exhibition
of their powers quite terrible to see,
since some of their Manifestations were
really inexplicable. They found and re-
placed in a selected spot in my head a
hairpin had secreted between the leaves
of book, and they came and went from
wide eyed dreaminess to active intelli-
gence as easily as l pass in and out a
door. They are two young English girls
who have made of mind reading and
mesmerism a study and livelihood.
They are the daughters of clergyman,
we'll bred and refined, and receive so
much to come to a luncheon and exhibit
their powers after. For compensation
they will put one into gentle mesmeric
trance that one may experience the
strange sensation, or they will use hyp-
motto influence on each other, and the
one under the spell will do all sorts of
interesting things by her sisters silent
mental suggestion. -Demorest' Maya

She intends to Keep Out of the Public
Eye and TO Avoid Publicity
and Sensation.

NEW YORK, April 16 "A morning pa
per prints as special from Washington
a statement from Miss Madeline Pollard,
in regard to her intentions for the future,
as follows:
LAS my unfortunate case is now ended
with verdict in my favor, do not see
why l may not say how deeply and
heartily l thank the press of the United
states IN general for all that has beea
said in my behalf, and how clearly see
and admit the justification for much that
has been said against me. | should like
to say how deeply grateful l am for the
kind letters which have come to me and
my counsel from all parts of the United
States during the terrible ordeal through
which have just passed.
eff the future holds anything for me
it cannot be in the direction of publicity
and sensation If my unframed literary
ambition is to rectiye any reward or
justification it must come with labor and
patience, and [ have no idea of going on
the stage Or lecture platform, or other
wise accentuating publicity which my
unfortunate career has had in this trial
I have been applied to by various pub
fishers to edit report of the trial, but
have not brought myself to think that
this would be wise step, and if l should
take it, will only be becauseI believe
myself able in a good sense to point to
the moral of my misguided life, and to
awaken good sentiments in the public
rather than to keep alive bad sensations
