p WILD GIRL In
p JERSEY COURT
She Is Brought to Bay After
Two Months of Savagery.
a Young Maiden Lost in the Woods
Goes Into Frenzy at the Sight
of Her Father.

Small. with feline grace and eyes that
shone like red Goals of fire. Theresa
Jester fought with the energy and dar-
ing of tigress in the Camden y. j..
court house yesterday. Three officers,
after combining their efforts To hold
her, said that it was the hardest work
they had done in year.
The sight of Il lank, ungainly man
with cross-eyes and warper features.
stumbling gracelessly into the court
room. drove the girl into the mad wild
cat frenzy. She could not be subdued
until the man, who was Herman Jester.
her father, was made to leave the room.
The sight of Jester never fails to
frenzy the girl. She is a lass of the
woods, so young that her skirts only
reach her shoe tops. but she has prov
ed hard problem TO everyone who has
had to do with her.
Her wild life in the woods and the
fields has made her almost like an ami
NAL. Her hatred of her father is vio-
lent. and she has been in the habit of
running away from home to avoid him.
At these times she has lived among the
trees in all kinds of weather. getting
such food as she could find. She is
fearless and swift as a tigress, and
much at home in the wilds.
Once she sought shelter in abandoned
barn stalls and lived there a week At
another time she lived a week in de-
serted old house. One night she jump
ed from a second-story window in her
night-gown, and, without shoes or hat,
fed to the woods. For two months the
police of Stockton, n. j., have been
looking for her. She was found lying
in the woods.
Her father had her taken to court in
Camden yesterday in an effort to COM
nit her to the Girls Industrial School.
Previously he had tried to have her
committed as an incorrigible, but Judge
Armstrong refused to do this. commit
ting her instead to the Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Children. Jes-
ter declared this to be reflection on
him, and made the move to have her
sent to the Industrial School. The So
ciety which has her in charge secured
a continuance until today.
Sheriff Baird took the girl into court
yesterday morning. When her ungain-
Unlocking father entered she sprang
to her feet with piercing shrek. She
tried to flee, and when the officers
caught her she clawed and bit at them
like a wildcat. Three strong officers
had all they could do to hold the girl
and she could not be quoted until her
father was made to go out.

it their duty to administer 4 severe repri-

censure the receiving muse for a mistake,
ana to generally instruct the superior of
fiCerS to give such objections in matters Of
detail as would insure on the part Of all
their SuhoTdinateS a better knowledge and
appreciation Of the several duties required
OF them"
M. 8. Il. Baker, who is chairman of the
committee, moved the adoption of the
report on behalf of the Northwestern Com
mittee. They regrettedithat a serious, a
very serious. mistake had been made,
and some OF he officials had been neglect
ful in carrying out their instructions. The
feelings of the parents OF both children had
been tried, more especially those of Mr..
and Mrs NJ llquIn, whose child had been
buried in the name OF Green. But he
wished To . sure the public that the mis-
take had had no effect upon the treat
ment of the children, One would have died
under any circumstances, and the other
would have lived. They had never had a
simila case before. Mr.. Lille said the child
had been 'nried with Protestant rites,
whereas its parents were Roman Catholics.
The a duption of the report was unanimously
agreed to.

THE GRAVE OF MOTHER EVE.
First Human Sinner said to Lament
the Death of Abel

At Jiddah in Arabia, the Mohammedans
locate the grave of Ere. A small temple,

she was 200 feet tall was erected above
the ashes. The structure is in bad re-

Mother Eve would have a rather damp
resting place. As 1t is, big palm tree
has forced its way through the room. The
spot is the Mecca Of a seven-ycar pill

anniversary OF the death OF Abel. the

J. Rermonet, a Baltimore painter, met
Miss Augusta Ludenberg; one day later he

day he proposed and was rejected; up to

lady to reconsider, and then he tried to

When the young woman found that,
despite her repeated refusals, Rermonet

house. When Rermonet heard OF her de-
parture he bought laudanum and swallowed
it. lie was found in his room ia a stupor.

An Ancient Superstition

An ancient superstition connected with
the turquoise is even today believed in. If
1t is given with love il carries with it hap
piness and good luck. If the well being OF
the giver is in peril the faithful turquoise
pales; If, on the other hand. the giyer
proves faithiess, the stone turns dark. 1t
