WOMAN FOR 25
YEARS KEEPS VOW
SAID SHE WOULD NEVER LOOK
UPON FACE OF MAN
Her Father Opposed Her Marriage
with Man She Loved and She Be-
came a ReeIuse-Llves with
Her Parent

Special to The Herald.
HARTFORD, CT, Dec. 29.--The vow
taken by the beautiful Caroline Os-
born twenty-five years ago when a
stern father forbade her marriage to
her betrothed that she would never
look upon or speak to a man again has
been kept so religiously that the few
remaining people OF the once prosper
our village of Bakervllle, in the Litch-
field hills, near Waterbury, Conn. no
longer regard her with curiosity They
have come to respect the sad consis-
tency of the recluse, whose beauty has
slowly withered under the blighting
influence of her great disappointment.
They say in Bakerville that "Cal-
lie' Osborn, as she is known, will go
to the grave without taking the slight
est notice of the existence of the faith
er, whose opposition to her marriage
scared her soul and caused her to re-
nounce the world.
He passed from her life a quarter
of a century ago, when in terrible
anger he ordered her sweetheart, Wal
ter Lumpkins, from the door and told
him never to seek his daughter again.
Los Angeles herald., 1906-12-30

Albert Osborn, the father, is now 76
years old, and II he has ever regretted
the act he has not given sign Of it to
his neighbors The daughter lives in
the same house with her father, but
in separate apartments, and is seldom
seen upon the street. When she does
appear she is always veiled and hood
ed. She never looks at a man, and
the times she has spoken to her girl
hood friends can soon be numbered.
Some say there are traces Of her beau
ty left, in spite of her 45 years and her
bent and premateurely aged form.
No one dares speak to- the Osborns
Of the tragedy, which has been the
subject of village gossip for many
years, but the facts of the sad affair
are known by everyone in the place.
Much soueht-After Heiress
After the death of her mother. Car
oline became in time the heiress whose
hand and heart were sought for by
the eligible swains of the neighbor-
hood. Early she gave promise of
beauty, and as she blossomed into wo-
manhood the promise was fulfilled
Caroline was Of a vivacious tempera-
ment, with rosy cheeks and fair hair.
Some said in those days that such a
blithe, careless girl was bound to have
some great trouble in her life. Caro-
line laughed at these. I'm going to
enjoy youth while IL lasts" she had
been heard to say; there will be
plenty of time for serious things later"
The young girl was the inspiration
of all the social doings of the village.
She was active in the church and fore
most at the dances and other amuse-
ments of the young folks. Until she
was twenty years old she remained
heart free. "They are after my money,
not me-" she often said Of her many
suitors.
There was change, however, when
Walter Lumpkins came along. He
had been used to city life and was un-
like the men of Caroline's acquaint-
ance. He was handsome fellow about
two years older than she and wore
clothes that fitted better than those of
the young men in the village. Lump
kins first met Caroline Osborn at a
barn dance The two seemed to be

GIVES DRUGS BY ELECTRICITY
Special Cable to The Herald.

Special Cable to The Herald.
PARIS, Dec. 29.-Prof. stephane Le-
due, whose experiments in the chemical
production Of life have been much
talked about lately, came UP to Paris
yesterday to present 10 the faculty two
new-inventions of great interest.
At the Broca hospital he explained
method which he has discovered for ad-
ministerlng drugs by electricity-the
scientific name of which is ionlzation
BY way of proving his theory that
drugs could be administered by the
passing of an electric current, the pro-
fessor shaved the back of a rabbit and
put a compress Of sulphite of strychnine
on It,
This violent poison did the animal no
harm, but Immediately after the pass
ing of an electric current the rabbit
died, the electric current having intro
duced the poison into its system.
Prof. Ledue considers that ionization
should prove extremely useful in the
curing OF rheumatism, sciatica, locomo-
tor ataxia and paralysis.
The professor also showed his coll
leagues an interesting experiment with
electricity as an anaesthetic. He put
rabbit to sleep by means of the cleo
trio current, under the influence of
which the animal could be cut without
feeling pain. The professor kept the
rabbit asleep for ten minutes, and then
stopped the, current, and the animal
opened its eyes and sat up.
This new method of producing anaes-
thesia is likely, Prof. Leduc considers,
to replace chloroform and ether at a
very early date, and is of immense i'm
portance to medical science.

speeial cable TO The Herald.

Special Cable to The Herald.
LONDON, Dec. 9-''Marvelous little
human head with beard and mus
taches turning gray, from central
Mexico, 300 miles from Chavoa; nothing
like It has ever been offered before"
SO ran the description Of lot 2S7a in a
sale Of curiosities at the auction rooms
Of MIR. Stevens in King street yester-
day.
The marvellous little human head"
fixed on pedestal in a glass case, was
a center Of much interest. The large
crowd Of collectors I'm the salesroom,
no less than casual visitors gazed at
this trophy from Mexico with mingled
curiosity and admiration.
It Is about the size of a large wall
nut, perfect in shape and complete in
every detail. The head is crowned with
thick black hair, while the mustache
is heavy and shot with iron gray. The
skin, of course, is dry and wrinkled;
but the absolutely perfect proportions
of the features are as striking as they
are weird and wonderful.
The head-it is said to be the only
one of its kind in existence-was pur-
chased by a curio hunter from an old
Mexican ranchman, who declared that
it had been in his family for genera
tions.
The discoverer suggests that it is a
relic of a race of pigmies, who inhabited
the country hundreds of years before
Montezuma was conquered by the
Spaniard Cortes.
The head differs from the "shrunken
heads" which are valued at from 829
to ESQ apiece, and which are compara-
lively common. In the case of
"shrunken head" the bones have been
removed and the flesh dried: but the
result is not nearly so natural and per-
feet in it's resemblance to the human.
Bidding for this curious specimen was
brisk. but it was withdrawn at e120.
The reserve price was $3.50.

GENEVA, Dec. 29.-"Marriage or

man named Fritz Roth propounded to
a young widow named Madame Ber-
ger, living at Moenchenstein. near
Base.
The widow chose death. For several
months Roth had been pursuing the
widow with his attentions and received
no encouragement.
Madly i'm love with her, he determ-
ined to use force, and, after buying a
revolver, went to the widows house
and informed her that he had come
to kill her IL she would not accept
him as her husband.
Madame Berger was not in the least
frightened and asked for time to ar
range her affairs and her house. This
took half an hour, and then she in
formed Roth, who followed her about
with his revolver, that she was ready
to die.
He fred two shots at her and then
blew out his brains. The widow, who
is seriously, though not dangerously,
wounded. was taken to the hospital.
