NEW YORK. April 3-Dell De Forrest,
well known TO the vaudeville stage for her
"whirwind" dance, is in the Amityville
asylum. on Long Island, laboring under
the hallucination that her life is in peril
from people who are trying to chloroform
her, or poison her by means of her food.
Her condition was brought about by sew
eral agencies, Of which peroxide of hydro
gen. used for bleaching the hair, IS said to
have an important part
Miss De Forrest is scarcely twenty-siX
years old. She was for a long time one OF
the bellies of Newark, \. j. When eigh-
teen years old she took It into her wllful
mind to bleach her hair. and the entreades
Of her mother and sister were of no avail.
Copious washes of ammonia were followed
by the use of the peroxide and soon her
brown locks became changed to the golden
tint.
Just at that time she made the acquaint-

graceful dancer, and under the tuition of
the variety performer-whose name is said
TO he Jones-was finally induced 10 appear
with him on the stage in the dance which
has since made her famous. They Travelled

She grew Irritable. accusing her dancing
partner of batting against her life, and ac-
casionally refuse to perform her dance
on the ground that enemies We're in the au-

She was taken home, her mother and sis
ter having meanwhile removed to this city.
Specialists were consulted, and she was
confined In a private Home in this city.
Showing no signs of Improvement. she
was taken to the Amityviile asylum a few
weeks ago. Her ultimate recovery is

4 SPLIT IN ALABAMA.
Two sets of Delegates VIII BE Sent to ST.

birmingham, Ala. April 3.IThere
viii be two Republican State cOnyen-
tons and two sets Of delegates to the
Republican National convention from
Alabama this year Robert Barbour,
Lewis E. Parsons. and other Reed and
Morton leaders state it as their con-
viCtion that there have been so many
contests in the counties in the choice
of delegates TO the State convention,
set for April %. that it is useless TO
look for reconciliation.
Mckinley has the majority Of the
State Committee and will control the
temporary organization Of the conven-
ton. but the anti-McKinley forces al
ready admit they will not accept the
Mckinley officers.
The Reed, Morton, Allison and Quay
men will have to hold convention Of
their own. as they say they will. There
viii thus be two sets of four delegates
at-large of the eighteen district dele
gates. Leaders on both sides agree
that hall at least will have contestants.
AS a prominent Reed leader put it TO-
day. il will take the Committee on
Credentials at St. Louis to determine
the qualifications of three-fOurths Of
the delegates from Alabama.

CARLISLE AND THE PRESIDENCY

Washington. ID. c., April Sit is
again said here that the formal an
nouncement of Secretary Carlisle's
candidacy for the presidential nomina-
ton will be made in a few days, either
through a letter from the Secretary
himself. or by means of an authorized
statement from Senator Lindsay, of
Kentucky. a friend of Mr.. Carlisle's. 1t
is hardly probable the Secretary will
openly declare himself candidate for
the nomination in a letter over his sig
nature, or even go so far as to place
himself i'm the hands Of his friends as
the political phrase goes. Any declar-
alton of his candidacy which will be
made public viii probably come
through the medium of an interview
with Senator Lindsay or some other
close personal friend.

that an effort will be made to obtain
an injunction restraining the secretary
