Miss Grace Hadsell, of Ottumwa, and
Aiberts reincarceration in the asylum
for the insane, the end came to the
most extraordinary and unusual ro-
nance ever known here. 1t also ended
in a victory for the father of the girl,
Frank Hadsell, eX-United States mar
shall, of Wyoming.
For the past two days 1t has been
race between the father and daughter
to see who would reach Cripple Creek
first. Hadsel, thru influential friends
in Colorado to whom he sent telegram
after telegram, succeeded in stopping
the affair. Elk Marshal Hadsell has for
the past week been visiting his daugh-
err here. Thursday morning the young
woman left her home saying she was
going down town. When she did not
appear at lunch and it was discovered

was hurriedly made and letters found
revealed that she had for months been
in correspondence with the eccentric
yiolinist. Hans Albert, whose escapades
have attracted attention the country

saws that Albert, who was some months

do, and had been out on parole, has
been taken back Hadsell will probably
take his daughter to his ranch in Raw
Inns. Wyo.
Miss Hadsell is q years old and
prominent and pretty young woman OF
this city, and her infatuation for the
romantic violinist is probably due to
her own artistic temperament.

RATS MADE OF CHINESE HAIR.
Ton Of PigtaiIs Of Deceased Mandarin
Received by Boston Dealer.

Boston.-A side light on what wo-
men wear in their hair when it comes
to dressing it a la mode for the "Mer.
ry Widow hat came out here when
the steamer Seneca, from China,
steamed into port. In the cargo was
a ton of Chinamen's pigtails. 1t was
consigned to a prominent Boston hair
dealer, who will use it in making
rats" and switches and puffs.
According tof the steamer officials,
the importation Of human hair from
China is a thriving industry. No good
Chinaman will part with his pigtail in
life, but when he is dead it is differ
ent. He usually has a good supply,
and his relatives will let it go cheap.
Hair from dead people does not make
up into extra fine switches, but it will
do in the cheaper grade.
There is nothing better than the
heavy, coarse, strong, straight hair of
the Chinaman, dead or alive, for styl.
ish puffs and rats. 1t never loses its
shape, it stands all sorts of knocking
about, and as long as the girl does not
know what she is wearing there is nc

CAT HAS ODD LITTER
SURPRISING PROGENY BORNE BY
MALTESE TABBY.
Kittens Tied in Knot Like Double
Siamese Twins - Mother Pos
sessed of Pe%cuiIarities But
Is Good Rat Catcher.

Brooklyn.-Tabby, a fine maltese
cat, besides being a source of great
comfort to her mistress, Mrs. Grinnell
of 598 Lafayette avenue, is really an
extraordinary and uncommon crea-
ture. She can be counted on once
every six months to produce a sensa-
ton.
Ever since one Sunday morning
she has had all the neighborhood agog.
The fame of her latest exploit has
spread to remote parts of the borough.
Tabby gave birth to a most remark
able litter of kittens. Three Of them
had each seven toes on their %forefeet
and five on their hind feet; but this is
or was not to be wondered at, for
Tabby herself is possessed of these Pc
culiarities.
The remaining four, wonderful to
relate, were all tied in a knot. They
were vertically like the Siamese twins,
twice over How they nursed and
how they lived a whole week, and
might have been living yet had not
Mrs. Grinnell humanely ended their
complicated existence, is a modern
wonder.
There were four separate and dis.
tinct bodies, and from four pairs OF
lusty lungs they gave forth lusty
meows, and with their legs they
pushed and paved each other in futile
attempts to get apart. And the be
wildered mother also tried to separ
ate them. She was SO much concerned
about her strange offspring that she
paid no attention at all to the three
that had been born with separate en-
titles, and Mrs. Grinnell, for fear o.
drowned them.
Once it vas bruited about tina
Tabby had given birth to a bunch o
kittens all tied together, not only TIL
neighbors called to see the monstros
ity, but eve the neighbors' cats. Fo
a whole week all Of the neighbors
cats congregated in Mrs. Grinnelli
back yard and cellar to view Tabby'I
funny little ones, and to discuss tn
phenomenon in their feline way.

NEW BIRDS FOR MOUNTAINS.
Denver Man Brings Them All the Way
from Sweden.

Denver, Col.-Two strange birds
have arrived in Denver, having Jour-
neyed all the way from Sweden. Now
they are domiciled in the city park.
If the plans of their owner, w. F. Ken
drick, succeed, they will be the pro-
g%enitors of a new race of birds in the
Colorado mountains.
They are the capercailzie, pro-
nounced caper-kel-zi, and are the size
of a small turkey. In habits they are
much like grouse and ptarmigan.
They thrive best at timber line, and
subsist on pine, spruce and hemlock
boughs and mountain berries.
Mr.. Kendrick, who is tremendous
~ interested in birds and animals, has
had an ambition for some time to start
| the breeding of these birds in Colorado
because of their rarity and beauty. He
has already bred and liberated thou
sands OF pheasants, but the caper'

he has had a commission in Sweden
for two perfect birds. AS the result
of this order, the two arrived re
Gently.
The capercailzie is almost as large
as and similar in habits to the Amer

that it can endure much more severe
hardships and cold weather, and viii

crate them.
