RAISED son As GIRL.
4 True Story That R walls Some CT
Mark Twain's F .ction.
Attempted shooting of Nellie Mar
shall. of kenOsha, WIS.,. by Brother
on Her Wedding Day Has
Strange DenOuemenI,

Mark Twain has written some re-
markable stories OF the errors of birth
and the consequences thai followed, but
In all Of them there is 10 more remark
able story than that told by Mrs. K. d.
Marshall, Of Kenosha. She has a son,
Earl Marshall, who is about to attain
his majority.
Three weeks ago last night Earl
Marshall suddenly gained notCriety by
shooting at his sister. Nellie. and her
husband. J. w. Roberts. The ceremony
had scarcely been concluded when
young Marshall rushed into the room
and began shooting. Before he could be
stopped he fired two shots, but they went
wide of the mark ana no one was in
tured.
The strange revelations made by the
mother of the boy to-day shows that
I the shots we're fired on account Of jeal-
ousy, and furthermore, the denouement
/ of the strange story shows that Marshall
has had peculiar double career,
For eight years Marshall lived and
was reared as girl, and the stranges'
part of the whole affair is found in the
assertion that even his mother was moi
aware he was boy.
Marshall was born In 1883 and for q
years his mother had stuGiously guarded
from the public the history OF his early
\ life.
N At the time of his birth Il was an.
|Enounced that a female child had beer
born, and for the first eight years o.
his life Marshall lived as a girl, His
hother never discovered the error oi
the doctor until after the boy was more
than eight years of age, when he was
sent to hospital for treatment for 4
nervous disease.
From childhood Marshall had borne
the name of Eva Marshall. and at thC
time of the discovery that he was boy
he declined to accept the Change, anC
for the next seven years he continued
masquerading as a girl.
When the family removed to Kenoshs
Marshall was forced to lay aside his pet
ttrUats ana he -dorrrd- mani attire tire
Among his few men friends was J. w
Roberts, who was recently married tC
his sister, Nellie Marshall. Marshal
was heartbroken when the approaching
marriage of his sister to Robert was an.
nounced.
Since the time of the shooting
Marshall has been making an effort tt
clear himself of the guilt, and in order
to do this he wrote to the papers In hi;
former home town In Iowa and declared
that the shots had been fired by Miss
Eva Roberts. and asked that the paper:
there make an effort to locate Miss Eva
Marshall and notify her parents
Through the investigation started b,

GUESTS WHO FORGET TO PAY

these days, but the person Of preten-
tiOus title and often of aristocratic
lineage who forgets to pay his score.
II is against this sort Of delinquent
debtor that the National Hotel Keep
ers' Protective association is operating
through moral suasion," and the last
report shows il has made such prog
ress that neglecting hotel bills is no
longer considered good form among
that uncertain class. The moral infiu-
ence which has been brought to bear
consists of an intimation that unless
the bill is paid the name of the tardy
patron will be published in the hand
book of the association.
I'm not entertaining society here to
any great extent" said Simeon Ford,
of the Grand Union hotel in New
York. but know of n.any fashionable

II they rise up in ancestral dignity
and say: 4 won't submit to such a
thing; I'm going right away from

Ed"ar A. Waltz, president of the pro-
tective association, said:
THE campaign is directed against
persons high in official life or near
the top of the social scale, For in
stance, we had on our books a general
who owed one hotel $1,000, which he
paid when his name was published,
and later he paid $4,000 more to vari-
GUS hotels throughout the country,
Another man, son of prominent
statesman. was $4,000 in arrears
Members of congress, men who pose
as clergymen. and men who have the

sary to remind Of their obligations"
Reports Of the association show tina;
during the last ten years $4,000 has
been paid in by delinquent debtors
Last year the hotels received $4,000
Of what they called bad debts.

LAPEL BUTTONAOLE MUST GO.
Fashion In Mems Wear
ing Apparel.

Harry Lehr mas started a new brand
of fashion for men. Having for years
devoted his fertile brain to evolving
wonderful ideas concerning dress and
the behavior of the gentler sex, he has
turned his attention to his brothers in
society by appearing in a suit without
the lapel buttonhole has attempted to
revolutionize their attire.
Mr.. Lehr's new suit is dark brown,
with three-inch checks. and no effort
was made 10 have the stripes meet at
the seams. II has three buttons and
the collar and lapels are rather wider
than those which have been seen on
fashionables in the last few years.
Mr.. Lehr's idea in abolishing the
lapel buttonhole is that the fashion
able man is seldom seen nowadays
with boutonniere except in the even
ing, and that II is therefore unneces-
sary.
Fashionable tailors do not take kind
ly to the innovation. They say the
buttonhole is not made to carry a
flower, but for actual use. The man
