EMMA GOLDMAN, ANARCHIST.
Born i'm Russia and Nurtured in Hot
beds of Incendiarism.

NEW YORK, Sept. 10.-The Tribune says:
Emma Goldman came to this country
seventeen years ago from a little town in
Russia, where her father was a tailor. She
went to Rochester. n. Y. and was married
to man named Gruenebaum. 1t was not
long before she met Louis Bernstein, an
Anarchist, who brought her to this city.
She dropped her husbands NAME and with
it the few ideas of right and wrong that
she had. She became an advocate of an
archy in its most bloody and desperate
forms.
She joined the Anarchist group, known
as the Pioneers of Liberty, which used to
meet in the Essex market. She was ex-
PEELED after fiery speech advocating the
free and unlimited use of dynamite, be-
cause the members feared she would get
them into trouble. Soon after she met Most
and joined the International Arbeiter AS
ISOLATION, of which he was the leader. Most
let her sign articles which appeared from
time to time in his weekly publication, Die
Frieheit. A personal quarrel with Most
caused her to horsewhip him in 1892, when
he was lecturing in Odd Fellows hall.
She then took up with Berkmann and
became one of the most popular members
or the autOnomist group, which held meet
1ngs in various resorts in Fifth street.
Shortly after this Berkmann shot Henry
&. Frick and was arrested. The Goldman
woman started on a lecture tour to raise
funds for his defense. She was arrested in
Baltimore, and on her release went to
Pittsburg to see Berkmann.
She got into serious trouble for the first
time when she made an incendiary address
at meeting of the unemployed at Union
Square, on Aug. q, 1898. Her trial began on
oct. and ended ten days later. when she
was sentenced TO a year on Blackwell s
island. a shorthand report of her speech
was taken by the police and introduced at
the trial In part it was as follows:
You want bread. but who will give it
10 you? No one will give it to you. If you
want ii you must take 1t. If you do not
get 1t on your own demand take it by force
Go out into the social revolution Prepare
yourselves. The capitalists have prepared
themselves with the police who are armed
with pistols and clubs. You can defend
yourselves with sticks and stones, if at
tackled. / tell you again, organize and go
and demand what you want, and, IL IL is
not given, then take 1t by force. If you
take bread alone ii will not help you much
Take everything. March TO the palaces of
the capitalists and demand your rights, and
II they are not given TO you, take them by
force. You Will be attacked by the militia
defend yourselves with sticks and stones.
Either you Will have to do what tell you
or you can go home quietly, lay yourselves
down and die of hunger. 1t is true you are
not prepared. while we know that the po-
lice are, with weapons, but we also know
where the weapons are to be obtained We
Now that you know what you have TO do
prepare yourselves May anarchy liver
1T was a typical Goldman speech Her
speeches to-day are on the same order. She
always advises violence, no matter what
the evil. She seems to have great power
over her ignorant audiences. and soon has
everything about her boiling over. 1t is
only excitement. however, and never be-
fore has she persuaded any one to DELHI
crate act of violence, if indeed, she did so
this time.
Emma Goldman is now about thirty-fiye
years old. When she came to America a
girl, she was rather pretty. She had a
wealth OF dark hair and flashing eyes Her
figure was good, even when poorly dressed
The. life she has been leading. however. has
blOtted out all OF her youthful charms
Her eyes still CLEAN. but IL is the unnatural
CLEAN put there by liquor. Her face and
figure are bloated from the same cause
She lives on the cheap fame which has
come TO her from anarchistic speeches
The police believe she will not remain long
IN hiding. They think she will soon be
Boosting openly OF her influence over the
Presidents wOuld-be assassin"
