Great interest has been manifested

trnst and wear this distinction.
Upon first ballot the following lay
delegates were elected to the next SEES

Chicago, Feb. 10.--"Freak'' religion

that she had received a divine call to
offer herself as a sacrifice, Miss
Frances Wakley 5000 Lowe avenue,
poured oil over her clothing and the
pile of torn books and papers in which
she stood. and set the whole on fire.
While the flames were wrapped
around her she laughed, apparently
feeling no pain, and fought with the
woman who was trying to save her.

In the next room was the aged
mother of the girl, paralyzed, listening
to her daughters voice and smelling
the smoke. but unable even to call for
help.
The only other person in the house
when the girls cries and wild laughter
were first heard was Mrs. H. NJ. Kelly.
Running to- the room on the second
floor, Mrs. Kelly was unable at first
to enter on account of the smoke.
In Mrs Kelly'S attempts to drag the
girl out of the fire her own dress
caught several times. Then a neigh
Dor arrived, and seeing the situation
turned in an alarm of fire. The de-
partment soon put the blaze out and
the girl was taken to the Englewood
Union hospital. 1t was said last night
that she might not live.
The girl is % years of age. The act
which will probably cause her death
was the elimination of three days de-
mentia. Since last Friday she had
eaten no food. Her insanity was
brought about by constant reading and
