A TOO MODEST WOMAN,

Is such a thing possiblea
1t is.
Many q woman suffers month
after month, whole years, because
she shrinks from talking about her
complaints.
Foolish do you say?
No, it is simply due to a natural,
commcndable modesty. Still she
owes it to herself either to con
suit a good Physician or else to get
the Zoa- Phora Medical Book on
Diseases of Women and Children,
and, after satisfying herself that
Zoa-Phora is what she needs,

POOR MARION GRAY
The Petite and Clever Sou
brette Who Died in New
York
PRETTY MARION HOPKINS
Who Grew to Girlhood on the
Old Robert Estate in st.
Paul.
PRETTY MARION HOPKINS
DESCENDANT OF A LORD
And Godchild OF Rev. VIM. c.
Pope, Of This City--Her
History.

Marion Gray, the pretty soubrette,
who was laid to rest in Evergreen
cemetery, New York, few short
weeks ago, was Marion Hopkins,
once of st. Paul. Resting in Actors
plat in that beautiful city of the
dead is all that remains of a charm
ing woman who was not only a
credit to her profession, but by her
many good womanly qualities won
the love of a man who stood high
amongst his fellow men, Hon. Will
lam III. Burroughs, who afterwards
became her husband.
Marion Hopkins was a descendant
of royal blood, being a granddaugh-
ter of the late Sir Francis Hopkins,
of County Tyrone, Ireland. She was
also sister of Jane Hoyt, the noted
character actress, and another sister
still resides in st. Paul and follows
the occupation Of seamstress.
Marion was born in st. Paul and
grew to girlhood on the Robert
estate, on Robert street, now occu-
pied by the Central block. She was
a pupil Of Madison school, and a
regular attendant of the Church of
the Good Shepherd, of this city, be-
ing a god-child of Rev. William c.
Pope. She died at the age of
twenty-eight, loved and honored by
all who knew her. She was a noble,
brave little woman, and often re-
manned conscientiously at her post
in entertaining the public when suf-
fering from the ills that flesh is
heir to- Her death occurred at the
New York Cancer hospital, after a
long and painful illness. The New
York Dramatic News said of her:
Miss Gray was a very pretty
soubrette, petite and clever. AS a
soubrette she was greatly admired.
Her last appearance, was at the
Garden theater, this city, in AS You
Like It. for the benefit Of. the Pro-
fessional Woman's league, of which
she. was a member. Services were
held at the family residence, 27S One

SMALLPOX SCARE.
A WELL DEVELOPED CASE IS
FOUND ON RICE STREET
IN A THREE-sTORY HOUSE
In Which Thirty-Five Persons
Reside-Health COnmissiOn-
er Acts Promptly.

A well-developed case of smallpox,
was yesterday discovered at 1854 Rice
street, corner of Central avenue. Here
Is located three-story brick building,
in the upper floors of which reside
eight families-Swedish. German and
Notwithstanding in the aggregate,
thirty-ffve individuals. About twenty
of these are children.
Four or five days ago Mrs. Kate
Letdgen, Swede woman living in the
block. was taken ill. Yesterday after
noon her husband, becoming suspi-
cious, notified Health Commissioner
Hoyt that he feared his wife had
smallpox. In company with Dr. A. J.
Stone, the newly appointed commits
sioner, DR.. Hoyt visited Mrs. Leidgen
about 5 p. IN. He found her suffering
from perfectly defined and serious
attack of the dreaded malady. II. C.
Sinks, inspector of contagious diseases.
was informed, and, with the prompt
ness and skill which has invariably
proved so effectual in the past, Mr.
Sinks proceeded to absolutely quaran-
tine the scene of the outbreak, and to
adopt every other possible precaution.
A careful census was made of all the
residents in the block, and strict watch
maintained to see that all returned to
the house. AS fast as they arrived
each was Vaccjnated; official signs
were placed upon the entrance doors;
and-moSt important of all-two stall
Wart policemen were stationed lust
outside, with rigid orders to let no
resident leave the building under any
circumstances. Fortunately, all the
residents returned to The block last
evening, and all will be kept immured
there for theneXt two weeks. There
are no other cases of illness among
any OF the families, and, except in the
one instance, no person betrays any
symptoms Of suIalI-pox
Mrs. Leidgen is twenty years
old, and has one child--a girl aged
twenty-one months. The child was
promptly taken under The protection
of another family in the building and
will be well cared for.
The most serious aspect of the af-
fair is that several persons have been
exposed to the disease who are daily
brought inc contact with hundreds of cit
liens. The husband, John Leidgen, is
in charge of a lunch counter at a pop
ular saloon. The only boarder in the
family is a young man of nineteen, who
is waiter at one of st. Paurs lead
ing hotels. Another resident in the
block is a clerk in large dry goods
establishment. Still other residents
are young ladies who work as stem
ographers about the city, while one
man has an Office in the Washburn
building.
In spite Of this large area of possi-
bic contagion Mr.. Sinks, when inter-
viewed last night, expressed himself
confident of being able to confine the
outbreak to it's present limits. In
proof of this probability, he pointed to
the admirable record of the depart
ment, which, during the past eight
years, has prevented an epidemic from
any of the nine or ten outbreaks which
have occurred during that period.
Mrs. Leidgen was too i'll to be re-
moved last evening, but tonight sho
will probably be taken to the hospital.

TROOPS TO QUIET REDS
CAVALRY FROM FORT wALLA
WALLA ORDERED OUT.
TROUBLE ON A RESERVATION
Un,ntiIIas Restless as the Result
Of Lawsuits in Indian
-.f Courts.

.PENDIETON Or, March e.--'Two
companies of the S.cond cavalry from
Fort Walla WaIla arrived here at s
o'clock on a special train, ar ] will be
taken without delay TO Mission Star,
on the Umatilla Indian reservation,
from which point they will proceed to
the agency near the station Indian
Agent Harper had been notified from
Washington that the troops were held
in readiness at Walla Walla, but kept
his counsel, saying nothing until about
the time for the arrival of the train,
whels he gave out the information that
he had requested the aid of the
troops. He stated the troops may be
necessary to protect the agency and
whites on the reservation.
Affairs have been disturbed on the
reservation for some weeks on account
of the disagreements of the officials
and the Indians. The Indian court in
the case of Indian offenses has exer-
cised powers which the Indians claim
were too arbitrary. The matter was
brought to an issue in a civil suit in
the justice court here when Wet SCOT.
brought suit against Brisbough and
others to recover damages for an al,
legged assault committed by the Indian.
policemen. The case was decided in.
favor of the plaintiff, but was ap-.
pealed by United States District At
torney Murphy to the state circuit
court. Later Chiefs No Shirt and
Young Chief and twenty other men
were arrested for dancing, contrary
to the agents orders. This
CAUSED A RIOT
in the council chamber and a general
row was narrowly averted. The chiefs
were released, but were again arrested
on the same charge and for resisting
United States officers. They were sent
to JAIL but employed counsel to sue
out warrants of habeas corpus in the
circuit court for their release This
afternoon Judge Fee, of the state cir
cult court, rendered a decision in the
habeas corpus case. He holds that the
Indians are citizens under the Dawes
act, entitled to all rights, privileges
and immunitieS of other citizens, ex1
cepting as to the alienation of their
allotted lands on reservation, title to
which was transferred, subject to trus-
teeship of the United States govern-
ment. The release of No Shirt and
Young Chief was also ordered Coun1
sci for the Indian court will appeal
The Indians counsel were seen and
said they had told the Indians they
must not resort to violence, in any
event. but await the supreme court
decision. But the Indians promised to
do so, and the head men say they will
use their influence to prevent any dis
turbance. The only fear expressed is
that the Indians may get drunk and
get into trouble with the Indian police.

HAS SIX HUNDRED TO BLOW.
He Spends Most OF 1t on q De-
bauch and Loses Rest
on Train.
He THINKS 1T WAS STOLEN.
Has to Be Sent Home From
Here by Agent Cham.
bepS.

A request to investigate a robbery
which occurred supposedly on the
st. Paul & Duluth road, was made
at the central police station yester-
day by State Prison Agent Clark
Chambers. His appeal was made on
behalf of Simon Westway, a recently
discharged convict from the peni-
tertiary at Saltwater. Westway
was sent there from Clay county on
five years sentence for burglary.
On the End Of this month he was set
at liberty. When ex-convict No. g.
506 left the big penitentiary a free
man, he alleges he possessed $671 in
cash.
He unwisely fingered in Saltwater,
spending his money lavishly, and
making himself good fellow among
the boys. Westway replenished his
wardrobe, purchased a few articles
own admissions, a liberal customer
at the various bars. The attractions
at Saltwater induced the freshly lib
Grated man to remain there until
Friday evening.
Before taking st. Paul & Duluth
train for this city, Westway alleges
that he paid a farewell visit to
prominent saloon. Here he drank
rather freely, as did everybody in the
saloon, and at his expense. West
ways
JAUNT WAS EXPENSIVE,
but when ready to seek new pastures
he still had money. His wealth then
comprised $115 in bills and a small
amount of silver He placed the
greenbacks in long pocketbook,
which he carelessly thrust into the
inner pocket of his overcoat He did
not. wear the garment to the train,
and upon entering the car, threw
his coat on the seat and sat on it.
Fr1 route to st. Paul Westman shared
s1is seat with an affables young. man,
with whom he chatted pleasantly. Di--
rectly opposite them sat two rough
looking fellows. Once or twice during
the trip Westman had occasion to
leave his seat. Arriving at the union
depot he donned his overcoat, and,
hailing a hack was driven to the
Globe hotel. When Westman reached
for his big pocketbook he missed con-
nections. Someone had either stolen
it or else he had dropped it in the pas
senger coach. 1t was only by shrewd
financiering that the ex-burglar could
pay the ''cabby', and indulge in pack
of cigarettes.
Yesterday morning Westman early
sought Mr.. Chambers and told his lit
tie tale of woe. After a futile search
for the missing greenbacks, the state
prison agent purchased ticket for
Westman, and shipped him to his des-
fDation-Madelia, MINI.

GROVER IN A GALE.
President Prevented From En-
loving q DAVIS Snort.


CAPE HATTERAS, N. c., March O.
A northwest storm began early this
morning and prevented any of Captain
Donnell's guests aboard the light
house tender Viola leaving her, either
to go ashore on Cape Hatteras or to
the blinds" on the reef in Pamlico
sound where the ducks are plentiful.
The wind shifted to the northwest
about O'Clock this morning and was
blowing q heavy gale, but at II o'clock
it's force seemed about expended and
the weather is clear and cool. The
Viola lies six miles from shore, as
near as the depth of water will allow
her to go. The president and his party
remained on board the Viola all day.
In the evening the wind was still
strong enough to make it very un-
pleasant for a small boat getting to
and from the "blinds." No hunting
was done, but the party is having a
pleasant time aboard ship. 1t did not
decide how long the Viola will stay
here, but she will probably remain
over Sunday.

Escapade of ~ st. CIOud Girl on

SEATTLE, March "a remarkable
story is published here of girl who

donning boys attire, enlisted as a

officers knew of her sex, also the
plumber. She says she sailed to
Portland, then to San Francisco, on
the Monterey. The plumber finally put
her ashore because he thought her

is not believed.
