Women Who Wear Well.

1t is astonishing how great change
few years Of married life often make in
the appearance and disposition of many
women. The freshness, the charm, the
brilliance vanish like the bloom from
peach which is rudely handled. The
matron is only dim shadow, a faint echo
of the charming maiden. There are two
reasons for this change, ignorance and
neglect. Few young women appreciate
the shock TO the system through the
change which comes with marriage and
motherhood Many neglect to deal with
the unpleasant pelvic drains and weak
nesses which too often come with mar
rlage and motherhood, not understanding
that this secret drain is robbing the cheek
of its freshness and the form of its
fairness.

SHRINE CIRCUS
TO Be GORGEOUS
Two Hundred Performers Are Prepar-
ina for the Fun, and Several
Additional Features Are
Secured

New features are being added daily
to the Shrine society sircus, which will
open April in Fiesta park. The sale
of tickets promises to pass all eXpecta-
tions. Yesterday, in spite of the rain,
the sale at downtown stores passed the
record mark.
Perhaps the most gorgeous spectacle
of the circus, aside from the grand
entry of 200 performers and animals at
the beginning of the circus, will be the
appearance of a troupe of fifteen
zouaves, according to an announce
ment made by the show management
late last night.
These Zouaves have secured new uni
forms of a most beautiful and striking
pattern, and they will wear them for
the first time in public on the first
night of the circus. The performance
of the troupe wiz include several new
and difficult features.
Yesterday the Shriners secured two
new cards for their big show-a cage of
performing bears and another of lions.
One of the bears will do talking and
singing act, answering questions with
growls and expressions of disapproval,
and will sing as intelligibly as some
people. 1t is said to be the only sing
ing bear in existence and, outside of
Prof. Webers singing dog, the only
animal which ever has been taught to
articulate. The bear, whose name Is
Heine, can also do a Juggling stunt,
keeping three balls in the air at once.
The performing lions will shake hands
with the public, and one of them per-
mits it's trainer to ride it bareback
around the cage.
The Shriners are rushing the work on
their new temple in the hope of at
least having the structure entirely
covered before the arrival of their Wis
itors in May. The work was stopped
several days by the delay of number
of steel beams for the upper part of
the frame work on account of the
washouts on the railroads. Several
changes may be necessary in the pro-
gram. and If so will be announced later
by Potentate Flint.

w. C. T. U. Members Elect President
Who Vigorously Discusses Varl-
Gus Methods of Dealing
with Social Evil

Mrs. Catherine Pierce Wheat was
yesterday morning elected president of
the Federation of Los Angeles
Woman's Christian Temperance
Unions at it's annual meeting in the
Woodlawn Methodist church at Wood
lawn avenue and Fortieth street.
Mrs. Wheat has done a great deal
of good work in her connection with
the w. c. T. U. and she will make an
able president. Mrs. Ada r. Hand was
elected vice president, Miss Grace
Mettler corresponding secretary, Mrs.
Bluett recording secretary and Mrs. J..
w. Mineer, treasurer
Mrs. Wheat gave talk in the after
noon, summarizing the current topics,
and spoke strogly against the city au-
thorities allowing the crib districts to
remain. She said:
"If we leave the houses scattered
over the city they are a menace to
every one, but If they are all put into
one district a great many more people
would go there, for they would have
no fear of being recognized. 1 do not
believe in licensing any evil.
Some people say they are a protec-
ton to good women, but If they are
why don't we send them flowers and
candy and treat them as our saviors I?
1.-The only thing to do is to arrest
the inmates of the houses and their
frequenters at every trun."
Rev. e. H. Keller read the devotion
ais and the recording secretary, treas
urer and corresponding secretary gave
their annual reports. Mrs. H. T. Grif-
fifth reported on the work of the public
fountain committee and Rev. o. An
drews read the Bible lesson. Mrs. w.
G. Fisher gave a short musical pro-
gram and the local presidents made
the reports of their years work. The
program for the coming year was out
lined under the direction of Mrs.
Hester T. Griffith.

can read through their fingers, but also
an ordinary typewriter and had learned
it's keyboard. 1t was soulless work for
her, this typewriting, for it produced
no results appreciable to her.
She had keen sense of sound If one
may say that of person totally deaf.
She appreciated vibration induced by
an organ or a drum and understood
rythm so we'll she learned to dance the
two-step and keep time when there was
a drum beating in an orchestra or
band.
In learning to speak she studied the
formation of Mrs. Jordan's lips and her
own somewhat rebellious tongue was
taught it's place by the insertion into
her mouth of a paper cutter. In this
work Mrs. Jordan had enthusiastic as
sistance from experienced teachers. AS
result Emma said -um-B-
meaning thumb, and other words in
colorless tone with exaggerated empha-
sis. 1t was work of infinite patience,
just the same great task that Helen
Kellers teachers had in teaching her to
speak and to be crowned by the same
results.

Special to The Herald.
JACKSONVILLE, ILL.,, March 90
Emma Kubieck, the 11-year-old blind,
deaf and dumb girl, known as the
Helen Keller of Illinois," is dead.
Death was due to pneumonia, from
which she had suffered for a week.
During her eight years of confine-
ment in the school for the blind the
child made such progress that practi-
cally the entire state became interested
in her. Following an attack of spinal
meningitis at the age of years, Emma
lost her sight, hearing and speech. Her
father and only brother were killed by
a train and she was left alone with her
mother.
Citizens of Edwardsville were the first
to assist her and the state legislature
then passed a bill and sent her to the
state school. Mrs. Helen Jordan was
her teacher there.
A committee of the Illinois senate and
house visited the girl last week and
were entertained by her. She delivered
an address of welcome on typewriter.
Mrs. Kubeck was notified of her daugh-
ters death and will have the body taken
to Edwardsville for burial.
Emma was born in Glen Carbon,
Madison county, ILL.,, January 1, 1885,
Her parents lived on a farm between
Glen Carbon and Edwardsville. They
were Industrious people, but possessed
of small means.

times during the three years of his abb

seen by his uncle, who sent word of
him to the anxious mother
On one occasion, a few months after
he left st. Louis, his uncle received q
letter from a nurse in a New Orleans
hospital, stating that the boy was ill
and needed money. The letter was de-
layed in the mails. Tarpley sent money
to the boy, but his letter was returned,
with the information that the patient

Circus to War Service
In the west Frank made the ac-
quaintance of Buffalo Bill, joined his
circus and went with him to Paris. He
left the circus and wandered for time
through Europe. Then he went to
South Africa, where he met General
Cronje and saw service with the Boer
army at Ladysmith. OF this period of
his life Frank gave his mother only
the barest outline.
From South Africa he returned to
America, working his way on board
ship as stoKer. He had been in st.
Louis only three months when again
the Wanderlust came over him. He
told his mother that he must go and
she urged him to stay. He worked for
time at the Missouri Sheet Iron
works and then told his mother that
he had found employment in the West
end
IF 1 could only find Cronje," he re-
marked to her several times. 81 could
get job with the Beers at the Worlds
Fair"
One morning just before the fair
opened Mrs. Hendrix prepared his lunch
and gave him car fare to go to his new
place of employment. He kissed her
good by, and that was the last that she
heard of him until Wednesday. She
had always thought that e found Gen.
Cronje and returned to South Africa.
Letter Gives News

Patrick O'Connor, who is i'll in the
Charity hospital in New Orleans, stat
ing that he knew Reilley
Reilley, the letter said, had been en-
ployed in the secret service of the Mica
raguan government and had fallen into
the hands of the soldiers of Honduras.
He begged that his mother take some
steps to obtain his release
O'Connor is an engineer, who has also
been in the employ of Nicaragua.
Mrs Hendrix and her husband, W. r.
Hendrix, Immediately wrote to the
president telling of Reilley's plight.

HIS TRIP ENDS IN
HONDURAS PRISON
Hoping to Save Him from Being Ex=
ecuted, His Mother Sends an
Appeal to President
Roosevelt

Special to The Herald.
ST. LOUIS, March 2O.-Inheriting a
love of wandering, Frank P. Reilley
of this city, 20 years old, after six
years of adventurous rowing in the
West, in Europe, Cuba and South At
rica, is now a political prisoner in
Spanish Honduras. Though he has
been confined since January, his
mother. Mrs. Eta Hendrix of 1896
Lucas avenue, did not learn of his pre-
dicament until recently.
She Immediately addressed a per-
sonal letter of appeal on behalf of her
son to President Roosevelt. From the
meager information she has been able
to gather, she believes he is in danger
of being put to death by the Honduran
government.
Frank Reilley was born in Hot
Springs, where his parents formerly
resided, February 5, 1886. His father,
who was of rowing disposition, died
when he was a child and he came with
his mother to st. Louis. With boys of
his own age to attended the Pope
school until he was IA years old. He
was then for a time employed in a
shoe factory.
Wanderlust Makes Itself Felt
But he was not like other boys.
Inc SCIlOOl NOih anu lne MOTk Oh the
factory were irksome to him. The wan
derlust early made itself felt and he
left home. His mother who had mar
ried again in the meantime, knew
nothing of the whereabouts of the boy.
He was her only son and she greved
at his absence until she became partly
reconciled to it. She never believed
that he was dead.
Months after he had left st. Louis
she heard of him through her brother,
j. A. Tarpley, in New Orleans. He
wrote her that Frank had gone to
Cuba. After that she heard of him oc-
casionally, but never directly.
Three years later a strange young
man came to see her at a restaurant
which she conducted at that time in
the 5000 block on Manchester avenue.
He was tall and broad shouldered, with
curly black hair and bright hazel eyes.
He spoke to her of Frank and she told
him the little that she knew. The
young man talked to her for fifteen
minutes.
Then, with a laugh, he walked back
into the restaurant, washed some
grease paint from his face and told
her who he was.
overIoyed Mother Faints
In her excitement and joy she tainted.
When she recovered consciousness she
saw her boy standing over her, speak
ing in his natural voice-he had used
an impossible Irish brogue when he
first addressed her. He told her of
strange adventures in strange lands.
He showed her, too, that he could
speak Spanish tiuently and other lan-
guages which she did not recognize.
Mrs Hendrix remembers only a little
of what Frank told her. He spoke of
having been In the west with a tribe
of Indians. His right foot in some way
was injured. one OF the toes being
twisted out of it's normal position and
an old Indian, the big medicine" man
of the tribe, had relieved the afflietion
with strange remedy,
He had been to Cuba and TO Mexico,
