journey across the continent from Ne

mems clothes, Mrs. Margaret jenkins
arrived here Tuesday, says a dispatch
to the Herald from Wilkesbarre, Pa
She was making her way by steal
ing rides on freight trains and was
bound for Lewiston, Pa, where she
has relatives. A Lehigh Valley rail
road special officer saw ner in a cal
and arrested her. Not until she was
taken to the station house did she re
veal the fact that she was a woman
and then she told story so pathetic
that she was released.
She said that eight years ago she
and her husband left Scranton for Ne
vada, where they lived happily until
three months ago, when he deserted
her. Too proud to remain in the
town where she was known, but pen
niless and without friends to whom
she could appeal, she decided to make
her way east.
Finding that as a woman even food
was refused her and that work was i'm
possible to obtain, she procured mems
clothing, cut off her hair and resumed
her journey eastward. Her sex was
never discovered nor was she arrest.

ANOTHER EPIDEMIC NOT LIKELY

Professor Rupert soyce, an English
Medical Expert, Returns from a Wis
1t to Central America-Parish of
calcasieu Raises All ouarantlnes.
New Orleans, Nov. 2.-The raising
OF all guarantees In the parish of Cal
casieu, including Lake Charles, is re-
garded as the best news that has come
to the state board of health in the past
fortnight, because it is taken to mean
that that parish which assumed the
most extreme position on the fever is
convinced that it has been virtually
stamped out.
Calcasieu and Lake Charles refused
all freight from New Orleans, stopped
all train service and declared their in
tention not to reopen communication
until frost appeared here For one
hundred days tney maintained this at
titude and now they have abolished
every restriction. Other towns and
parishes announce the removal of en-
bargoes, and there are few now that
are still barring passengers from New
Orleans
The cases remaining under treat
ment have dropped today to I8, and
the centers of infection are so COM
pletely under control that it is regard
ed as improbable that many more
cases wiz be reported before frost.
Professor Rupert Boyce, dean of the
Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine,
has returned to New Orleans from Brit
ish Honduras, where he went in Sep
tember to look into the health condi-
tions Of Belize and the surrounding
country, He also visited Spanish
Honduras, and Guatemala He says
there was comparatively little yellow
fever in British Honduras. but very
much of it in the other two countries
mentioned. He expresses the belief
that if the New Orleans methods are
followed, there will be lillte difficulty
in keeping the fever out of Belize
DR.. Boyle says the authoriti@ in
Central America are seeing the light
of modern methods in fighting yellow
fever and in the enlightened sections
of those countries they will be able
to prevent the introduction of the dis
ease.
Entering to the possibility of yellow
fever next fall, DR.. White expresses
the opinion that there is no more dan
ger of yellow fever in New Orleans
in September, 1906 on account of the
present outbreak than if such an out.
break had never occurred. The knowl
edge and experience gained from the
conditions which existed here this year
would, in fact, render the danger of
another outbreak more remote than it
has ever been in the history of the

The Man Who Is Being Held by Police
in Connection with the Suit Case
Mystery, Is on Verge of Nervous Col
Iapse-1e Refuses to Talk.
Boston, Nov. 2.-Morris Nathan who
upon arrival here yesterday from Pitts
burg, was detained by the local police
on the charge of having procured an
illegal operation on Susanna A. Geary,
the victim OF the suit case tragedy,
was resting this forenoon at the city
hospital, where he was taken last
night.
His physical condition when ne was
taken to the institution was so weak
that it was considered doubtful wheth-
er it would be possible for him to ap-
pear in the municipal court today, to
answer to the charge against him. The
hospital authorities would divulge lit
tie regarding Nathan's condition, but
it is understood that he slept we'll last
night.
The finding yesterday in the office
of Back Bay loan company of the
solitaire diamond ring given Susanna
Geary by her mother last Christmas,
was the last thing needed to settle any
doubt that might remain as to the iden-
tity of the suit case victim.
The police began searching for this
ring after the finding of the limbs in
the second suit case last Friday and
upon the statement by Mrs Geary thai
this ring which the girl had been in
the habit of wearing was missing. The
police laYe learned that the ring was
pawned Sept. II by a young man They
are trying to find the pawn ticket Civ
en- for the ring.
A search for a south-end physician
suspected in the case was conducted
during the night but without result.
The police visited house where he is
said to have lived part of the time, but
inmates of the place said the doctor
had not been there for several weeks.
The authorities are desirous of ir
terviewing this physician on account of
his alleged resemblance to the man
who purchased the two suit cases in
which tn ebody was found from the
souhhend pawnshop.
Jesse Cove, chief counsel for Ma
than, is said to have instructed hi.
client to make no further statements
to the police of any kind. This will
force the authorities entirely upon
their own resources to make out
case against Nathan and the others
who may be responsible.

LONDON, Aug. 5.-It is not generally
known how genuinely fond the Princess

her completely.
English society people often wonder
why IL is that American women latterly
have found so little difficulty In getting
TO court The secret is. and 1t Is pub
lished for the first time. that anything
Lady Naylor-Leyland asks the Princess
TO do will be done without a murmur.
Only those domestically associated with
both ladies can really tell how close the
friendship is. They are birds Of a
feather" Both are extremely domesti-
Gated, and when the Princess wants ad-
vice on any domestic matter her ladyship
Is the first to be appealed to. This is so
particularly since the death OF the Prin-
cess mother.
In spite Of her influential connections
her ladyship IS Of a retiring disposition
and would rather not be talked about.
Her American friends who come to Eng
land to see what England is can always
have complete access TO all the palaces
and other royal establishments, the Prin-
cess having made provision for all that
in consideration Of her regard for her
friend.

LADY NEwBOROUGH ABANDONs
HORSE-DRIvING FOR AUTOING
American Society Woman Finally Sue
. cumbs to the AristOcratic Craze
and Hires a Chauffeur.

anu Hires a Cnaumeur.
LONDON, Aug. 5.-Lady Newborough is
the latest OF the American society women
in London 10 join the ranks OF the auto
mobilists. When motoring became a fash
ionable pastime few years ago she used
to tell her friends that she would never
discard the horse for the sake OF being
in fashion. 'T love my horses, and no
evil-smelling, nasty contrtvance will ever
persuade me TO abandon them" was a
favorite saying Of hers.
When she drove a pair OF spanking
chestnuts in Rotten Row she handled the
ribbons with the expertness Of a profess
sional coachman. She has frequently
driven a four-in-hand from London to
Brighton. and on the road people would
turn out to see how easily she controlled
her horses.
Lady Newborough is reckoned to be
one of the best dinner table story tellers
in England, and anecdotes that might
otherwise be delicate become when
handled by her artistic and Amusing.
Now that she has taken TO motoring il is
expected she will become quite as accom-
plished a driver as she proved to be when
controlling her horses.
1t is the fashion among the majority OF
English society women to have a chauf-
feur with a foreign name, but Lady New
borough is decidedly American in her
views and mannerisms, and when she
bought her $4,000 motor she stipulated
she must have one OF her own country
men to drive 1t and educate her in the
intricacies Of it's mechanism. His name
Is Herbert Lehman and he Is a native OF
Brooklyn.
