WOMEN WHO HAVE MAsQUERADED
AS MEN.

The fact ehronicled in the Registers
dispatches the other day that the sec
ond trial of Ellis Glenn would be be-
gun some time this month at Parkers-
burg, recalls the similar case of Caro-
line Hall. whose career as a man was
suddenly ended by her death on an
Atlantic steamer, which landed at New
York the other day. Like Ellis Glenn
this incomprehensible freak of woman
hood had long masqueraded in mans
attire and associated with men and
women unfortunately without re-
vealing to either that her sex and her
garb, tastes, habits and manners did
not match.
Miss Caroline Hall travelled over
the world with her wife" She
had plenty of money and enjoyed her
self drinking hard liquor, smoking
strong cigars and playing cards with
male companions. while her wife"
chatted with the ladies. Her death
was due to alcoholism.
Strange as are such freaks as Caro-
line Hall and Ellis Glenn, they are not
singular. Women in mems garb have
often distinguished themselves. not
only as these did. but as soldiers and
duelists-going the limit of masculine
holiness and bravery. The New York
World point out that the late Murray
Hall, OF that city, who wore mems
garb many years. was versed in the
ways of the ward politician and, like
her later namesake. was married"
Several women served as soldiers in
the civil war-one, Mrs. William Lind
ley, fighting by her husbands side.
This is not a freak of the new
wor~an." This fact, to quote our New
York contempary is shown by the
valor of Deborah Sampson. who fought
