Special to The Herald.
WASHINGTON, Pa, Dec. TO-
Beallsville, near here, which is known
as Col. Hawkins town, is in the pos
session of mephitis mephitica, other
wise skunks. Schools have been closed
and the country store dealer, 1t is
averred, has ordered an extra supply
of clothespins.
Natural gas mains, eight inches in
diameter, as yet uncomected, have
been laid from Beallsville to Greene
county. The stretch of pipe is fifteen
miles long. Boys who were playing
near the main yesterday thought the
gas was escaping.
One of the lads suggested they light
a fire to ignite it. AS the match blazed
a procession of dark little animals be-
gan parading out of the pipes. The
boys counted fifteen, then fled.
The oldest inhabitant says no skunks
had been seen in Beallsville for nearly
fifty years. The supposition is that
they entered the gas pipes in Greene
county, with their heads pointed for
Washington county, and that they
crowded each other through, being
chased by some animal until they
came out in Beallsville.
Relief parties have been organized
by citizens and raids have been made
on the beasts, until fifty scalps adorn
the barns in the region.

MAN-WIFE'S SECRET
Barred BY DEATH
CRIMINAL ELUDES AUTHORITIES
FOR YEARS
Attired as a Woman, He Even Posed
as a Farmers Wife, Assumed the
Name of Virginia Jackson and Was
Never Even Under Suspicion

NEW ORLEANS. Dec. 10.-After
eluding the authorities for seven years
by masquerading in womens clothes
and posing as the wife of a farmer,
Virginia Jackson, a name assumed by
the man, has been found out and his
life's secret exposed. He committed a
crime and escaped to Jonesville, La,
where he died today, when his sex was
revealed.
Virginia Jackson was a fugitive from
justice. His crime was hidden and its
secret buried with the body. Seven
years ago he was married to Posey.
They lived as man and wife up to Vir-
ginia's death. The latter always
dressed as a woman and did the house
work. They visited their friends and
went to church without exciting sus-
picion
which Mrs" Posey acted as hostess.
They We're regarded as the most affec-
tionate couple in the neighborhood
Virginia was taken sick and nursed by
Posey. Death came, and when the
neighbors prepared the body for burial
they discovered that the wife" was a
man. A letter was found supposed to
have been written by the mother to
the fugitive.
Jim, come home and take off your
dress and put on your pants, for the
thing has been forgotten" wrote the
mother.
The man-wife wrote a letter on his
deathbed requesting that his body be
left undressed when placed in the cof-
fin. But the corpse was laid out in
mans clothing. Posey confessed that
he had harbored Virginia as a friend to
shield him from the authorities.

ONE OF CARUS0'S JOKES
He Handed an Egg to Fellow
Singer and Created
Problem
Special to The Herald.

NEW YORK, Dec. 10.-That was a
very amusing story that was told of
Caruso, the great tenor, who put Scott,
his fellow singer in a cold sweat dur
ing the performance at the Metropol-
itan opera house by slipping into his
hand, slyly, a plump egg. OF course
Scott didn't know what to do with the
pesky thing. He couldn't drop it. He
couldn't throw it anywhere. Behind
the scenes there was a small army, as
well as "A larger one in the boxes and
seats. If he were to nervously crush
it in his hand he would be in a nasty
fix.
The most natural thing for him to do
under the circumstances was to throw
the egg at Caruso's head. and he
probably was angry enough to do 1t,
but he was paralyzed by the thought
Of the vast audience arrayed in splend-
or to whom a flying egg would have
been as terrible vision as a comet load
ed with sulphur. With what intense
terror the fashionable ladies and gem
tlemen would have watched that egg
until it landed with u great spattcr on
Caruso's forehead and the yolll
trickled in yellow nastiness down tho
tenor's horror-stricken countenance.
