Pleased and enthusiastic was the large
crowd that greeted the Suanee River

the curtains revealed a most gorgeous
array of burnt cork beauty, the ladies
radiant in dresses with rainbow -hued
ruffles and the gentlemen gorgeous with
huge neckties and collars standing a
few inches above their ears. An excel
lent program of songs, dances, recita-
tions and guitar solos was carried out,
while the end men kept the audience in
roar with jokes. Mrs. Emma Knoss
played the piano accompaniments. The
entertainment was success in every
way and netted the nice little sum of
$26. Those taking part on the pro-
gram were Mrs. Frank Davis, Miss Sand
strom, the Misses Gregg, and Messrs.

work, living a life of usefulness and en-
dearing herself more and more to her
friends.
Miss Best was always aware of the
streak of mannishness in her, but did
not think it was any greater than mad
manifested itself in many other women
whom she had seen. She did not think
seriously of the matter until a few
years ago, when her beard began to
grow so fast that it was necessary for
her to shave every day. In spite or
this growth she kept her secret from
every one save those who lived with
her. The beard humiliated her to some
extent, but never gave her the slight
est suspicion that she was undergoing
any sexual change. '..
1t was a little over two weeks ago
that Miss Best was brought to a sud
den realization of her condition. She
knew then for the first time that she
was not a woman but a man. She
was prostrated by the blow and con-
suited her physician.
DIR. Finley was brought into the case,
and he had Miss Best removed to the
French Benevolent hospital where an
operation was performed, which con-
flrmed what Miss Best had suspected.
When the news was broken to Miss
Best she was very i'll for some time.
She was told, however, that outside
of the shock she had nothing to fear,
that she could assume the sex of a
man freely and without embarrass-
ment, but that it was obviously i'm
possible for her to continue to live as
woman.
Miss Best left the hospital in the
clothing in which she entered and went
to her home in Brooklyn. There ar
rangements were quickly made for her
removal to st. Louis, from which point
she will make her plunge into the
world as a man. Before Miss Besl
could leave, however, the realization
of the change that had come over hel
prostrated her again, and she has beer
| i'll in bed ever since.
DIR. Finley would not go into tht
details of the case, saying that they
would all be given in time to tile
medical world through report he will
make of the case through the columns
of some medical journal.

LIVES LONG AS WOMAN;
NOW DECLARED A MAN
UNDERGoES A REMARKABLE
TRANSFORMATION
Miss May Best of Brooklyn Must
Now Change Her Name and Start
Life Anew and in a Masculine
Role
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
NEW YORK, Oct. 2S.-Miss May
Best, an estimable woman of Brooklyn,
who has lived the life of the sex TO
which she was born for thirty-four
years, has been transformed into a
man.
Miss Best went into the French Ben
evolent hospital two weeks ago. Even
then the strange change was creeping
over her and masculinity was assuming
dominance. She came out of the instt-
tuition after an operation some days
ago, a man.
The completion of the metamorphosis
left her woman in experience and
ideas but a man in form and physical
attributes.
The necessity for the new environ
ment, a new start in life, was i'm
pressed upon her by DR.. Claude N.
Finley, the physician who had charge
of the case, and she will go to st.
Louis, there to don male attire, assume
a new name and fit herself for the life
which this amazing freak of nature has
neCessitated.
From childhood Miss Best was a
strong, robust girl, with an abnormal
fondness for the sports of boys AS
she grew older she would have liked
to play baseball and done other man
nish things, but was restrained by a
sense of delicacy.
AS a young woman she was tall,
broad-shouldered and very handsome,
with Jet black hair and blue eyes. She
was strong, had rather large hands
and feet for woman, and walked with
mannish stride. In spite of these
things, a slight harshness of voice and
the increasing growth of hair on her
face, she never had the slightest sus-
picion of the change in life she was
undergoing. Her ideals remained fentG
mime; her tastes were feminine; she
chose girl companions. She painted,
sewed and did all the other things
that women do. She had men friends
and girl friends and was popular with
both.
Miss Best devoted herself to several
women's clubs to which she belonged,
to her church and to her charitable

In a collision between a furniture van

o'clock last evening Ed Carter of
Kirksville, Mo, driver of the van, was
fatally injured; Mortorman II. w.

Had it not been for the baking of

Motorman Hogan says he saw the
furniture van drawing near the track
and whistled, but to his horror the
driver proceeded until his wagon was
squarely across the track and then
suddenly stopped. The motorman ap-
piled the air to his car as soon as he
saw the wagon and reduced the speed
to twenty miles, but by that time he
says a collision was inevitable.
AS the van came to a sudden halt
within a few feet of the car the full
realization of the situation struck
Hogan. With a feeling of despair he
applied the full force to the air brakes
and closed his eyes. There was a
crash and in another second furniture,

tion, saying that they preferred to
make a stated contribution in lieu oe
the sacrilegious eggs. Others declared
it would be giving in the Lords name
money which was tainted" even if the
eggs were fresh. They declared it
would be in direct violation of the
mandate to keep the Sabbath holy.
Still others took the view that it
would be unjust discrimination in
favor of those who had only a few
hens, and mostly non-layers at that

men, clay as many as four or FIVE
dozen eggs on Sunday. 1 am in the

eggs and give as I see best"
Then the tainted money" cry was
raised again, only to be silenced by the
logic of the woman who advanced the
theory that an egg is an act of Provi-
dence.
Since the tainted money" question
has been raised in connection with
hens eggs, dairymen hereabouts have
been worried a bit by the possibility
of the same question arising over milk

Women of Cumberland Presbyterian

Foreign Missions
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
HARRODSBURG, KY, Oct. 2S.-
Barnyard fowl throughout the district
of the Cumberland Presbyterian church
at Bethel have been made members,
vicariously, of the woman's mission of
the presbytery and hereafter all Sab
bath-laid hens eggs will be devoted to
the Christianizing of the heather and
the sustenance of those cared for in the
home charities.
This Innovation in the work of raising
missionary funds was decided upon at
session of the mission, composed OF
the women of the preSbytery, after a
spirited discussion over the tainted
ness" of money derived from eggs laid
on the Lords day. Arguments were
clinched when 1t was pointed out that
the fact that a hen laid an egg on
Sunday WAS prOvidentia1 and not the
fault Of the owner of the hen; that If
the providentially laid egg was not
sold on Sunday there could be no
"taint" to the money; that no one sup
posed. ANYHOW. that eggs would be
picked from the nest while still warm
and hurried to market.
When this line of reasoning was con-
cluded the resolution proS lding that all
the women members of tie presbytery
shall contribute to the cause all the
Sunday-laid eggs of their hens went
through sweepingly. There are 300 and
more members of the presbytery who
own chickens.
The question came up originally while
the general talk of well doing was un-
der way, and 1t was shown that the
good women of the district had con-
tributed during the year the generous
sum of $2S, 900 to foreign and home
missions. One member said that was
