A Daring Auatra!iao Bushman VINO
Turned Out to BE Woman.
Australia is fertile in sensations.
The latest-a case of disguised sex
lis that of Private Jorgensen, late
Of the Victorian rifles. Though PASS
ing for twenty years under the name
of Jack Jorgensen, her real name
was Johanna Marguerite Jorg gensen-
Her career has been of a most extra
ordinary character. When pretty
girl of is, according to her sisters
account, she received a sad disfg-
urement by kick on the nose and
one of her eyes by horse. Jorgen-
sen herself accounted for her deform-
ity by declaring that she received
her injuries in the Schleswig-Hol-
stein war, in which she had fought
on the side of Germany. She showed
a medal which she had received for
service in the field and claimed to
have received special commendation
in connection with the wound she
sustained
Whichever story be correct, it is
clear that she commenced her ex-
traordinary career of masquerading
as a man nearly a quarter Of a CEN
tury ago, and, under most unlikely
circumstances. preserved the secret
of her sex throughout that period.
Some twenty years ago she appeared
in the Runnymede district of Victo-
ria, dressed as q bushman. and se-
lected block of land, which she
commenced to farm She, however.
did not attend very assiduously to
her country duties, but employed
men to clear and fence her selection,
while she wandered about the colo
MES delivering rambling lectures
and caDvassing for an insurance
company. The latter found it diff
cult to get rid of her until threat
of medical examination induced her
to retire. One of her strangest es-
capades was to join the mounted
rifles, where her extraordinary ap-
pearance induced the commanding
officer to mistake her for a China
man. She made good soldier, rode
we'll, and exhibited knowledge
of military service which was in
keeping with her story. She was 5
feet inches in height, thick-se and
strongly built, with q stubby mus
tache. She frequently rode through
the streets of Melbourne, and on one
occasion was selected to form part
of the governors escort, but the Of
fcer in command ordered her to
stand out on account of her extra
ordinary appearance.
The better to sustain her charao-
ter she often made love TO girls, and
once obtained consent of a girls
father to marry her. She did not.
however, go quite SO far as another
Victorian celebrity of the same kind
named De Lacy Evans. who worked
as q miner in the deep claims at
Beudigo for years without her sex
being discovered. and she was act
ually married three times in success
sion to as many women. Jorgensen
was taken Ill with rheumatism re-
Gently, but refused to allow a doctor
to examine her. On her death post
mortem was made and the secret of
her sex was discovered. The affair
has created an extraordinary sensa-
| tion in the colonies.

The Wilson bill as amended by the
Senate Finance Committee restores
the duty on sugar, and thereby abro-
gates the reciprocity treaties we have
with sugar-produclng countries. 1t is
to the clear-headed statemanship OF
James g. Blaine that the country is
indebted for the benefits resulting
from the policy Of reciprocity, which
it Is now proposed 10 abandon. On
the principle that 1t was only just that
we should have some equivalent for
the market we offered for the sugar,
coffee and other articles that had been
on the free list. Mr.. Blaine insisted
that the countries benefited by the
free admission of these articles to the
greatest market in the world should
discriminate In favor OF American
products. 1t was through bis insisten-
lces that the reciprocity took its stand
of protection in the plat
form OF the Republican party.
| The practical workings Of this poll :
10y have fully justified the claims ad.
Ivaneed on Its behalf. Here are few
figures which speak for themselves:
In 1889. before reciprocity went into
operation. we sold to Cuba Gil. 2O3. l9S
exports 70 the Queen of the Antilles
had expanded to $23 .604. 094. an in
crease OF more than double. The way
In which orr trade with Brazil has
gone by leaps and bounds Is another
practical demonstration OF the bene-
fits of reciprocity. In 1899 our exports
to Brazil amounted to "a. 205. SS5. Last
year they were SIS, 975. S32, an increase
of more than 100 per cent. directly
traceable to Mr.. Blaine's reciprocity
policy.
On trade with Germany furnishes
one more example OF the beneficial ef-
fects OF tho plan OF compelling coun-
tries proiiting by the American market
to give something In return for this
advantage. For years the German
authorities had shut out American
pork, whilst we admitted free an inn
mense amount OF beet sugar produced
in Germany. The reciprocity clause
of the Mckinley bill enabled our Gov
eminent to say 10 Germany, II you
continue TO discriminate against the
products OF the American farm we
shall impose duty on the beet sugar
you export to this country. Germany
was not slow in understanding this
sort CT argument, with the result that
American exports to Germany increas-
ed from s6S, 002, 594 In 1859 to SS3. 57S,.
9sS In 1893.
reciprocity can present in justification
of its continuance. They. however,
weigh but little In the estimation OF
the tariff tinkers at Washington, who
cure much more about gratifying the
wishes OF few southern sugar plant
ers than OF promoting the general
welfare of the nation. An article that
has become almost necessity to
Isixty.tiye millions of Americans, and
which cannot be produced In sufficient
quantities to supply the home demand,
ie to be taxed at the dictetion OF Lou
iislana planters. even though such
taxation strikes mortal blow at the
foreign trade, SO marselously devel-
loped under the reciprocity policy. I'm.
