1ravelinn ALONE.

Mrs. Lucy W. Eastor. a lady 50
years Of age, recently journeyng in
a wagon alone through this city on a
return trip from Collin county Texas,
to Duncan. I. T.. affords an incident Of
interesting example Of the tenacious
vitality and quiet courage of pioneer
survivors and of the love we all have
for the ways Of our youth.
Aside from the remarkableness of
such a trip by this old lady come the
views of sentiment, which probably
caused her to make such an under
taking. She is a daughter OF the
Texas Republic, having lived in the
Lone Star state prior to its separation
from the Republic Of Mexico, when
ten miles was the nearest to a neigh
Dor and when every day held its threa;
of Indian marauders. Reared In su1a
a day. It is little wonder that hardi
hood and lack of fear should become
a thing Of nature and that those early
accustomed to scenes Of such hardship
should learn as we all do, to cling tC
end love the ways of life when it'
bloom was fresh within US. But ever
aelue from this clmes the reminde
that this old lady is making what sh'
doubtless looks upon as thc last yisi
to the dear people Of her own hesl
and blood. Maybe her children ar,

of Jean de ResZke who is training her for

up the operate stage and is now devoting
himself entirely teaching. His greatest
ambition is to discover and introduce the
prima donna of the future" and he has
several young women of great promise in
charge. Miss McEvily is one of them. She
made her debut in concert last May with
great success, and has since supported her
self by singing at private soirees in exclu-

to make her debu. in grand opera during
the coming winter but Mr.. de Reszke has
not yet given his consent. She will at least
appear in concert making a tour in Eng

Miss McEvily was born in Helena. Her
father is a miner. He was one of the
"forty-niners of California, and later
pioneer in Montana. She has been singing
from childhood. and while visiting Paris as
the guest of Senator and Mrs. Carter two
years ago De ResZke heard her sing and
offered to train her for the sage. She took
advantage OF that Incompatible opportu-

The Alleged Baron Caught.


The alleged baron was caught few days
later al Hamburg. where he was trying to
get hold of five trunks, containing her sur
plus wardrobe which had been sent on
there by steamer and were in storage. He
was identified as Conrad, notorious
"hochstapler' or high-class confidence man,
but cannot be punished. a woman who
marries a foreigner bestows upon him.
with her affection, the right to rob and
desert her at any time. 1t is no crime In
France or Germany for a man to rob and
desert his own wife. There is no law under
which a wife deserter can be punished.
Whatever this young woman had belongs
to her husband. 1t became his property at
the time of the marriage. A husband In
Germany or France cannot possibly rob his
wife because everything she has belongs
to him. Her boots her hair pins, her
gloves her handkerchiefs are all his. and
he has lawful right to pawn sell her
wardrobe whenever he cares to do so. She
has not the slightest claim upon anything
in her own possession, and, curiously
enough. he can imprlson her for talking
about It. 1t is a crime for woman to
accuse her husband of dishonesty 1t Is a
crime for the newspapers to publish these
facts. There Is no way to punish man
who robs or beats or deserts his wife but
he can send her to prison IL she talks
about IT.
