Years, and Is Only 2S

1tdis, diiu rs ouiy 20.
New York, Sept 19.-Mrs. Hetta Lor-
shder, a pretfy y brunette, twenty-eight years
OF age, has had a varied matrimonial ex-
perience. In the last ten years she has been
married three times, two of the marriages
taking place in the same year aud within
few months of each other. This would
not appear strange had her husbands died,
but they are all living. On account of Ter
marriages Mrs. Lorshider was arrested in
Jersey City for bigamy.
She is a 6ressmaker and is living in
Newark, but her exact address she would
not tell. Mrs. Lorshider left Newark yes
terday morning on Pennsylvania train.
When the train reached jersey City Mrs.
LnrshiGer started to get her bicycle, in
~ to go TO New York. She was then
INTO custody and informed that tie
complaint against her was made by her
brother, JOHN j. King, who also resides in
Newark.
The woman W as taken to police heaGquar
ters before Chief of Police Benjamin Muir
ply. To him she said that she married
John Milton sipp in Newark in July, 1888,
and that they lived together for about a
year and a half.
She said her life was not happy. and that
she found it impossible to get along with
him on account of the fast life he had led.
She left him and went to Rochester. where
she carried on dressmaking business.
There she became acquainted with Eu-
gene Derby. and on May Z, 1892. she mar
ried him. They did not get along well to-
gether, and only lived as man and wife
FOR two months She then told Derby that
she had already been married, and that she
had not obtained a divorce from Sipp.
Derby then began divorce proceedings, and
obtained one from his wife.
The woman did not remain long single,
however. for no sooner had she parted with
Derby than she bad on a new love in John
L. Lorshider. They were married November
8, Of the same year.
Mrs. Lorslider told the hceif that they
struggled along together until October Of
last year, when they decided to ceparatc.
Lorshider stayed in Rochester while she re-
turned to Newark. where she started her
business
She said she had some troIble with her
brother. and it was for this reason that
he made the complaint against her.

plenty Of food and few enemies, they
do not permit the tree to close Its door,
but as 1t grows dangerously small gnaw
Off the new growth, thus compelling the
tree to keep "open DOORS" Squirrels
could use cavities entered through holes
large enough for coons or hedgehogs,
but they usually seek places entered
through holes just about large enough
for the largest one of the family. In
this way they are not molested by their
large enemies. Mice Of the woods could
use holes large enough forsquirrels, but
they usually seek lodgings Of very small
size, like the little hole In the beech tree
shown in the first cut. When once with
in hawks and owls can do them no
harm. An ash tree furnishing two extra
fine holes for big gray squirrel Is also
shown in the first cut. Each doorway
shows the marks of teeth, and no doubt
there is good supply Of nuts stored
inside for winter use.
The coon-tree shown in the second cut
is an unusually fine one, two stories
high and plenty large enough for any
member of the coon family to enter.
The coon, perhaps, is trying to decide
which door to choose, or he Is waiting
to learn whether any one is at home.
Coons usually have several homes han
dy for emergencies.
Coons store up food in the form of fat,
and during cold weather curl up and
