ANNIE LEIGH is INSANE.
She Couldn't Tell Where She Came
From.

Mrs. Annie LEIGH. woman about 80
years old, who has either forgotten her
antecedents or refuses to tell of them,
was adjudged insane this morning by
a commission appointed to examine
her by r. F. Hayden, the probate
judge. This commission consisted of
DIS. Otto Kiene and B. D. Eastman
and DIR. A. c. Davis was the examining
physician. The physicians decided that
the woman was suffering from delusive
insanity and she will be taken to the
asylum as soon as a place can be pro-
vided for her.
Mrs. LEIGH was found early yesterday
morning on the rear end of a Rock Is
land engine tender. This engine was
on the Oklahoma express and had been
in the station a short time when the
woman was found by William Ready,
a Rock Island employee. She insisted
that she had ridden on the train from
Kansas City, but the Rock Island peo-
pie are inclined to think that she
climbed on the rather perilous perch
where she was found after the train
had pulled into this city.
Because of her queer actions the
woman was turned over to the police.
Since her incarceration she has talked
almost necessarily and in an incoherent
fashion. She says that she has lately
been in Atchison, St Joseph Leaven-
worth and Kansas City but she names
no place as her home.
While awaiting her trial on the in
sanity charge this morning Mrs. LEIGH
was exceedingly nervous. She would
change her chairs in the room every
few minutes and when called to take
a seat near the commissioners she said:
Il don't like this chair, but L am
doing this just to please you
Asked as to where she lived, she re-
piled:
Il amt got no home. I had a hus-
band and he treated me like a dog. l
had little boy and 1 don't know
where any of them are
Col. Joe Reed had been assigned to
act as counsel for the woman and was
sitting near her during her examina-
ton. She frowned on him when offer
ed aid and turned to the commission
ers saying:
"Ain't you got no lawyers in this
town?' This caused a laugh at Col.
Reeds expense and he Joined in it.
1t was not possible for the commits
sioners to get any sort of coherent in
formation from the woman. She just
talked words at random. 1t did not
take long to find that she was insane.

ing Mr.. J. Pierpont Morgan, who was Sc
lectlng material for the decoration Of his
London homo and was giving particular
attention to medallions. He was also col
lecting French snuffboxes OF the eighteenth
century. Sir Purdon said he had not heard
that Mr.. Morgan was making any particu-
lar purchases for the museum.
In Switzerland Sir Purdon bought some
rare furniture OF the seventeenth n
eighteenth centuries, including q buffet
and an armor chest, and some church
glass. In Paris he acquired a wrought
iron screen like door of the fourteenth
century, two silver chalices OF the six
teenth century and some small tapestries.
While In London he obtained from q Rus
sian nobleman a two-handled Irish silver
drinking mug holding about a quart. Sir
Purdon said he didn't kno where the
Russian nobleman got the mug.
The operation OF the American pro-
tectiye tariff against the old masters moved
Sir Purdon TO modest laughter. He said
he didn't see how there could be any

The shepherdess Of Central Park sheep

She died on Sunday in the little ivy grown

Mrs. Ellen Conway went to live in the
park in the late COS. Even then her man
Jimmie had been with the Park Department
eight wears, and in the course Of a few years,
when Jimmie was made shepherd, Ellen was
ex-officio shepherdess. That meant that
she could help Jimmie mind the sheep and
coddle .he cosset lambs. Ellen kept milk
bottles on the top shelf of the kitchen and
knew how to use them with sheep as well
as with youngsters. Of whom she had ten,

The open season for first nights began
last night at Wallack's, when something
called The Time. the Place and the Girl

through until the final curtain. In the
pleasing intermissions, when one could
leave his seat without attracting undue
attention, the question what 10 it'" was
asked often. For II wasn't comic opera.
1t wasn't comedy. 1t wasn't tragedy. IL

There we're good things in the piece and
they we're the chorus numbers. This
part Of the show was under the direction
Of Ned Wayburn. the same Wayburn who
runs a college where that sort Of thing is
taught. MIR. Wayburn had az likely a
bunch Of damsels as ever was seen on Broad

appeared the audience really got interested.
One marching number, done 10 a quick
step. OF national airs, was especially well
liked.

called II, and II took two men TO write
a.. They are Will NJ. Hough and Frank

heard before. There was a plot. but IL
was smothered.
There was some compensation for the

IL was we'll worth while. And when she

Some OF the musical numbers were catchy
and also reminiscent Joseph Z. Howard
was down on the programme as the COM
poser.
The cast was largely unknown to Broad
way, but il did as well as could be expected
with the material at hand. Arthur DEACON
was featured and he worked hard. Elene
Foster as n nurse was pleasing TO the eye
and ear. Violet McMillen was The Girl

who shared in speaking, sections Of the

DIR. MAC CRACKEN'S PLEA.
Help the Teachers Who Want an Education
n BE a Real University.

wv pc " " w
Henry NJ. MacCracken. chancellor Of New
York University. had some things TO say
about universities which cater TO under
graduates TO the neglect Of the teachers in
the country's lower schools when he ad-
dressed the students Of the summer school
on University Heights yesterday morning.
The chancellor's address was spropos Of the
arrival Of United States COMMISSIONS Of Ed
uoation Elmer F.. Brown, who will deliver
four lectures before the summer school stu
dents.
In the course Of his remarks DR.. Mac
Cracken said that universities which receive
great requests from wealthy men lay them
selves open to the charge ~ being the bought
servants of such benefactors and coddle the
idle and improbable undergraduate who has
money to the 81 EXCLUSION Of the public teachers
who nave none. The head Of New York
University saw danger in such a course.
NO excuse can be given for a university
not organizing service for public teachers"
said he. In these days when universities can
organize even the building Of lakes in def
ance Of the laws Of nature and Of Jersey
mosquitoes, a university surely can attempt
anything that is necessary 10 fulfil It's mis-
sion"
n CnanCellor balO tnat none OF tne6ummer
school faculties provided by the New York
University was supplied with an endow-
ment. Each represented the untiring work
of soliciting from many individuals and
there was q yearly deficit entailed by the
summer school work.
Every true university will accept. the
care OF the learned professions as a prime
obligation" continued the chancellor. I'm
fortunately this or that univ ersity in Amer
lea, following tradition, has accepted il as
its first duty to cater to the tastes Of under
graduates. But this makes only an over
grown college. The genuine unworthy aims
primarily to give the nation better teachers.
preachers. journalists, physicians, scientists.
engineers. lawyers. II cannot restrict its
help, though il may its degrees, to such as
have first gone through college.
"A few trust magnates are giving TO GER
tain universities millions OF dollars. These
universities are in danger Of being reckoned
the purchased servant of a narrow caste.
The sure and efficient way TO escape this
suspicion is for the universities to rid them
selves OF idle undergraduates who make
no end of trouble and to devote their money
and energy to giving instruction and inspi-
ration TO the public teachers throughout
the land"
