Marie RosaIie Dinse Pays Heavy
Penalty for Her Jump From
Brooklyn Bridge.

New York. May 9.-Marie Rosalie
Dinse. the first woman to jump from
Brooklyn Bridge, will pay penalty for
her deed worse than the death she
sought. She is hopelessly insane. She
was removed from the prison ward in
Bellevue hospital yesterday TO the in
sane pavilion. The doctors declare
there is no chance for her recovery.
Many men have accomplished the
feat OF jumping from the bridge, and
those who escaped death have recov-
cred little worse for the experience. In
no instance except in the case of Miss
Dinse has the jumpers mind been inn
paired
Physicians who examined the woman
after her leap found that she had sus-
tained comparatively trifing physical
injuries. There were contusions about
the body, but no worse than would have
resulted from a slight fall. At Hudson
Street hospital, where she was first
taken. the surgeons declared she could
be discharged within a few days. They
believed the hysteria from which she
suffered would respond to their treat
ment IL the patient were given absolute
rest. With this object in view, all vis-
itors were denied admittance to her
ward.
But the apathy which was from the
first a marked characteristic of her
case Increased instead OF lessened. She
soon developed extreme melancholia.
She refused food, and stimulants had
to be administered artiicially.
Day by day her condition grew worse
and last week pronounced symptoms
of insanity developed. Every expe-
dent was employed to divert her mind
from the ordeal through which she had
passed. But to the patient the picture
OF the leap from the bridge was con-
stantly before her minds eye.
Since her commitment TO the prison
ward numerous letters rendering as
sstance and an offer Of marriage haN
been received. The policeman who had
BEEN detailed to guard her was re-
lteved. and she was not Informed that
she would have TO answer to the law
for her deed. But her mind sue
cumbed TO the memory of the jump
through space and yesterday she col
lapsed. She will be taken TO the hos
pital for the insane on Randalrs
Island. sf

MARGARET REID DIED FROM
ELEPHAnTIASlS AT HOSPITAL.

New York. May 9.-Margaret Reid.
who has been the chief patient. in poinI
of interest for study and exhibit, at
Bellevue ever since she was admitted
there two years ago, died yesterday
afternoon. She suffered from elephan-
tiasis, a peculiar Asiatlc disease caused
by the mysterious germ that physicians
have been unable to cope against, in
spite of their having studied 1t for
years.
Miss Reid was admitted TO the hos
pital July %. 1898. when she was Is
years old. The history OF her case was
carefully scanned, and the physicians
were surprised TO learn she had never
been under the influences which nor
maily bring ON the disease. and they
We're unable TO account for her having
contracted 1t at her age.
At the time she was admitted the dis
ease was centred in her left ankle, that
being three times it's natural size 1t
spread until her entire right leg was al
most as large as her body. Drs. Arm
strong and Rice. as well as other ply
sicians, made daily examinations OF the
progress OF her disease, but were unable
TO check it in the least. They have,
however, gathered data OF interest to
the medical profession on it's peculi-
arities.
Miss Reed had not been confined to
her bed, and during her stay at the
hospital was the sunshine Of the ward
she realized the hopelessness OF her
case and did not become melancholy
over IL, but devoted all her time To as
sisting those about her. She was a
pretty girl and very bright.
Two weeks ago she became i'll and
rapidly sank. 1t is said her hospital life
and habits developed quick consump-
ton. which, together with her affiiction.
caused her death.
