NOT INSANE, BUT ODD
Mrs. Price Has Made a
Record in Many In
terror Towns.
Her Tale o. Woe, WlthVery Little
Variation, Has Been Told to
Many officials.
Though Suspected of Suicidal Desires,
She Has Always Denied Any
Such Intention
OAKLAND OFFICE SAN Francisco CALL,

OAKLAND OFFICE SAN FRANCISCO CALI
9oS Broadway, Feb. 6.
Mrs. Mary Price, who was arrested at
Haywards yesterday on suspicion of in
tention to end her life, has m ost peculiar
history. The woman is evidently sane,
though somewhat weak minded, and the
history of her life, as she tells it, accounts
amply for her somewhat dwarfed intellect.
As she sat in the County Jail this after
noon and told of her adventures it was
easily seen that in some respects she has
a remarkably strong will ard a capacity
to adapt herself to trying circumstances,
with an amount of philosophy not ex-
pected from one who is suspected OF bein g
insane.
For several weeks past the newspapers
in the vicinity OF Marysville and Redding
have contained reports of woman who
has been doing similar things to those
which have characterized Mrs. Price in
this county, and 1t was proved to-day that
IL is all the work OF the same woman.
Last Wednesday afternoon she was in
Red Bluff and was locked up by the Sher-
if on a report that she was going TO COM
nit suicide. She arrived in Red Bluff the
previous evening and put up at hotel
The next morning she appeared on the
street and her peculiar actions attracted
much attention. She told some one she
was going to Jump into the river. This
was eommu unicated 10 the Sheriff's office
aud she was locked up. In the afternoon
she was taken before the Supervisors and
questioned. She said she was travel1ne e
around looking for work and wanted to
60 to Oakland, where she had friend
whose name she had forgotten. She said
she was "a years of age and had two chill
dren, aged 8 and IL years, at Portland.
She said she was married when she was
l3, and denied having any Intention OF
taking her life. She asked the board 10
pay her fare 10 Oakland and it is pre-
sumed that this was done, as she arrived
in Oakland last Thursday and Yesterday
morning started out for Haywards
At the County Jail o-day she told ex-
actly the same story as at Red Bluff,
Marysville and Reddine, and admitted
passing through those places, but said she
mad met with no trouble while there She
now says that she wants to get to Los
Angeles, where she has a sister and two
children.
Mrs. Price is an able-looking woman
and her sun burnt features plainly indicate
that she has travelled good deal "My
husband left me some months ago." she
said, land will not live with him again.

he has devised which will no doubt cause
much surprise to the pastors and all the

evening in which all the pastors, the
police, Christian Endeavor societies, Ed

Birch, who viii play on his golden cor
net. The progressive evangelist has also
dared TO suggest that touch of fireworks
thrown in will add to the effectiveness of
the occasion.

Dr. MunhaII, ito arouse the people from

the cases. There are certain classes of
people who will not come into a revival of

Taxpayers File No Ticket.
o AKLAND, CAL, Feb. 6.-The tax
Payers convention nominees have not
been filed with the City Clerk, although
the time has passed when they can be filed
without a petition. There are ten 6ays
more in which to prepare their petitions
to get their names on the ticket. AS the
convention confined itself entirely to in
dorsing the candidates on other tickets il
is probable that they will not file separate

Still Another Invention to Be Used in
an Oakland Church.
OAKLAND, CAL, Feb. 6.-StilI another
seli-cleansing communion cup has been
introduced, and tomorrow will be used
for the first time in the Eng ish Lutheran
Church. This particular cup is the in
yention of the Rev. Paul G. Klinger. 1t
Is a cup within a cup, the inner cup re-
volving with the stem. There is attached
to the cup cleanser, through which the
rim of the cup from which the communi-
cants drink passes.
Within the cleanser is cushion of ab-
sorbent material, which presses firmly
against the rim. This cleansing material,
or purificator, can be removed and re-
newed as often as desired. After each
communicant pariakes of the wine the
inner cup must be turned one-fourth
around by the hand ON the stem, ana the
part OF the rim used passes through the
cleanser before being used again. The
wine is contained in a reservoir with a
glass top, and at each quarter turn of the
cup wine for one communicant (about
half teaspoonful) passes from the reser-
voir by means of an orifce at the bottom
into the cup from which the communi-
cant receives it.

ALAMEDA, CAL. Feb. 6.-James P.

The deceased came to Alameda four
