 Ship Reached Port-Made Good Man. New York, Sept. BOA strange story and one almost identical to that of the l famous Murray Hall ease. of woman who preferred to pass for a man, was l revealed by the death o-day of Miss Carolina Hall, of Boston, cabin pas senger on the steamship Citta d Teri mo- which arrived from Naples and oth- CT Mediterranean ports on Sunday. On
 the passenger list Miss Hall appeared
 as MT. Charles Window Hall" and
 with "him" on the ship was Mrs. Hall. It was not until the former was strick en with a mortal illness that the ships
 surgeons made the discovery that the
 supposed man was a woman. Before
 that no one suspected that MT" Hall
 was not a man, and The" and his wife
 were received as such. The dead wo-
 man addressed her companion as
 Mrs. Hall" and spoke of her as my
 wife"
 The dead woman was thirty-nine
 years old and is said to have been the only daughter of a Colonel Hall, we'll
 to-do retired army officer, living in Boston. She was of slender build, me-
 dium height and with short crop of light hair cut pompadour. She dressed well and carried herself with the air of a man. Her voice and gestures were masculine.
 After "Mr Hall' was taken i'll the ships surgeons were called in and then the fact became known. The patient begged that the truth about her sex be kept secret, but the surgeons were forced to tell the circumstance to the captain, who, however, did not disclose it to the seventy-fve otker cabin pas sengers. The surgeons said the patient was suffering with consumption.

It was | learned however, that she had known | MT, Hall' for some years and was well aware that her companion was a woman.
 This evening a telegram from Albert l J. or e." Hall was received aboard | the steamship for Miss Caroline Hall, saying the sender would come to New York. It was dated "Boston High lands"

Accord ing to the story Miss Hall decided that men can get along better in the world than women and so adopted male cos- tune. She travelled thus with the other for two years, and since she was an artist, went about the art cen ers painting and working at her pro- 'ession. Being good rife shot Miss Hall is said to have entered several tournaments and won several prizes. When she decided to come home she asked the Italian woman to accompany Ter. ';
