day, spoke severely of the "dollar-hunting
propensities of American theatrical man

goers were exceedingly appreciative, highly
encouraged good plays, but he denounced
the trust system, which tended to demor-

effect upon dramatic criticism, few news

unique character in Michigan. There
is not a person in Chicago who lived
there in the early days of the city
who will not remember Indian
Mary"
Time was in the early days, says
the Chicago Chronicle, when she was
a familiar figure on the streets Of
Chicago, and there was one particu-
lar period when she was lauded as
a heroine and when the whole city
talked of her. This was during the
civil war, when she saved the life of
Col Mulligan, the famous command
er of the Mulligan brigade, or "rhe
Irish brigade" as it was familiarly
known. Col. Mulligan was severely
wounded. The battle ragged al day,
1000 federal soldiers holding back
5000 cOnfederates until Alulligan fell.
Mulligan was removed to island No.

knowledge over the dying colonel
and her Indian medicines saved him.
Indian Mary" served throughout
the war in the capacity of nurse and
had the awful experience of seeing
her husband, William H. Cochrane,
private in company L, Thirty-third
Michigan infantry, shot for deser-
tion.
Mary Cochrane is IS years of age.
Her mother was Julia La Sale, of
Detroit. a full-blooded squaw, and
her grandfather. Jacob La Sale, was
an Indian chief. She spent her early
years in Chicago and in 1861 joined
the federal army in the capacity of
nurse. She entered the service un-
der Col. James McMullen and won
credit for the bravery she displayed
on several occasions. During the
past 80 years she has lived in the Vi.
einity of St. Joseph. where she has
in some way acquired the reputation
of being a witch.
She has not been troubled by the
society of her village and her only
companion in her little shack is a

Crying at will is something l don't

cries galore on the stage, but this
WOman's cry is much nearer the real

keeps her face well up, and sobs
freely, her tears rolling down her
cheeks that all may see them. She
can cry anywhere.
I've seen that woman stop on the
sidewalk near where three men were
standing and sob as if her heart
would break. When one of the men
asked what the matter was, she re-
