Mrs. Price is young and of pleasing ap-

wife and ex-circus rider, she is said to
make her way from town to town secur-

Six months ago she tried to drown
herself in Portland by jumping into the
river in the presence of a crowd. She
was saved, and a purse was raised to
get her out of town. Then she turned
up at Redding, where she made feeble
attempt to hang herself to a trestle.
Again she was rescued and a purse was
raised to send her on her way. In Oak
land she created sensation by announc-
ing during storm that she was going
to walk to Los Angeles. She started
out bravely enough, but when she got
to Haywards she pretended to try and
hang herself to bridge. This did not
work well, so she waded into stream,
where she was soon discovered. The
good people of Haywards provided
bountifully for her, and she was brought
back to this city. The usual purse was
raised, and she was shipped on the over
land south. At Los Angeles she created
the usual scene by attempting TO drown
herself. From that point she was
shipped on until she managed to make
her way to New Orleans, where she has

Cost OF a Cardinals Hat.

The red hat of cardinal costs him
more money than kings pay for any ex-
cept their very best crowns. Before
accepting it the grateful prelate must
make offerings to the the propaganda
and to his titular church at Rome, and
pay fees to q long list of officials, rang
ing from chamberlains at the vatican
down to the cooks and sweepers and the
soldiers of the Swiss guards. Indeed,
the new cardinal has to pay fees atevery
step from the moment of his creation
to the occasion of his receiving the red
hat in public consistory, and when all
is over and done finds himself out Of
pocket to the extent of $4,000 at least.
If the cardinal is without means TO de.
fray the cost of his elevation, and If he
is to reside in Rome, the vatican is ready
to make him loan to be repaid in in
stallments out of his yearly allowances.
