ST, the world famous opera singer

membered by some OF the old New
Workers whose memories go back to
the days before the war.

She made her debut at Bologna, and
was then engaged for a season at La
Scala, Milan. IL was In 1892 that she
made her first appearance I'm Paris
She then sang in Rosslhi's "Semira-
mide," and made brilliant success. A
few years later she married Girard de
Melcy, but the marriage was not a
happy one. After their separation she
married Giovvani Mario, one of the
worlds greatest tenors.
I'm 1854 Grisi and Mario made their
first appearance I'm New York James
III. Hackett. the actor. brought them
to the United States. and he cleared
SEQ 900 on the venture. The opening
night of their engagement they sang
at Castle Garden. which was then the
fashionable opera house. The people
of New York found II a long drive to

Academy of Music had been built. and
Il was opened oct. 2, 1854, with Grisi
and Mario I'm Norma" II was no.
table occasion. and the audience is
said to have been an unusually bril-
liant one.
After completing their engagement
in New York Grisi and Mario appear
ed with such In Boston. Philadelphia
and several other cities. AS many
great singers do. Grisi delayed her re-
tirement from the stage beyond the
highest period of her powers. Her
death occurred in Berlin I'm 1869. Her
body was taken to Paris and lies In
the famous cemetery of Pere la Chaise.
Mario survived her. and lived until

Herald says: Dr. John Jackola, for
merly of Hancock. who has been miss
ing since the latter part of June, may
be roaming half naked i'm the woods
near Lakeside and living the life of a
wild man."
The description given by those who

doctar, lsavinr -'bsco1e- mentally unbal-

shores of the lake. Finnish papers
have also been found where the man
made his bed in the woods.
The story of the so-called wild
man" was brought to the city by boys
who are camping about a mile east of
The description of the man is so near
ly like that of DIR. Jackola, and in
dications seem to be so strong that
the stranger is DIR. Jackola, that John
Saari and Gust Lahti, two friends of
the doctor, left the city this morning
to search the woods for him.
Several attempts have been made by
the boys to capture him. He has been
seen many times of late. lie will al
low no one to approach him. When
seen by others he runs swiftly into
the woods like a frightened deer.
He appears on the lake shore at
times with no clothes on his body and
always with n book i'm his hand. When
seen from row boat yesterday he
was standing ON a stump apparently
Grating to the lake. When the boat
containing the boys headed for shore
he watched them for a time and then
ran into the woods.
The boys who have been trying to
capture him are Carle Gruesen, son
OF Jacob Gruesen, the jeweler; Gill
bert Magic, son of Deputy Sheriff
Frank Magic; Robert and Lawrence
Chrudinsk and William Denham,
The boys have been camping the
greater part OF the summer beyond
Lester park They first saw the man
whom tney think is DIR. Jackola several
days ago. They had no idea then that
Il was DIR. Jackola as they saw him
from quite distance He had no
colthes on and had just come out of
the woods. He stood for some time
on the edge Of the slashing. AS soon
as the boys started toward him he
disappeared. rft
Seen Again.
Monday night as Carl Gruesen was
going 10 the camp after dark, he was
frightened by a man who jumped up
from nearly under his feet and started
for the woods.
Another time when the boys were
out on the lake I'm a row boat he APP
peared on n large rock. with a book IN
his hand with the free hand he made
gestures and the boys could hear his
voice as he alternately read from the
book and Grated upon It,. He faced
the lake and seemed to be trying II
impress II with what he was saying.
Several attempts have been made tc
capture him. The boys have waited
for him at times but when they were
lying In wait he has never been seen
Soon after seeing him for the first
time. the boys began n systematic
search Of the woods. They found where
n bed had been made in the long grass
IL was just such a bed as a deer would
make. Near the bed they found some
Finnish papers and n labor paper
printed I'm the English language. The
labor paper was dated July 4.
