FEMALE MIsER DIES OF HUNGER
Springfield Recluse Hoarded the Skele-
tons of Cats, Dogs and Mice.

Springfield, Mass, Feb. l2.-With
more than $4,000 in high grade secur-
tiles in her home, which she owned,
not to mention nearly $500 in cash
and a supply of food of such exaggerat-
ed proportions as to suggest prepara-
tons for siege, Miss Elizabeth Arm
| strong, an eccentric woman of II years,
| died Saturday for lack of food, cloth
| ing and habitable home.
| Not since the tremendous blizzard Of
1885 had Miss Armstrong left her prem
Uses in Elm street West Springfield, I'M
til last week physician and an am
bulance called to take her to sani-
tarium. She had been found in semi
conscious condition by neighbors, who
reported her straits to the authorities.
The arrival of the physician aroused
every spark of resistance. She fought
with such determination, the physician
says, that chloroform which he admin
istered alone prevented her from in
juring herself.
Miss Armstrong recovered from the eff
fects of the ehloroform and improve
ment in her condition was noted until
Friday night, when she began to fail.
j, Frank Hayes, her guardian, found
in her home Saturday two wagonloads
of food, remarkable assortment OF
wearing apparel. the styles of most of
which antedated the Civil war, and hun
dreds OF skeletons Of cats, dogs and
mice. the collection of which is believed
to have been the sole diversion of Miss
Armstrong.
In a bureau drawer We're found the
skeletons Of 80 cats. In another drawer
in the same bureau, score OF mice
were arranged on large plates. with what
the owner evidently considered artistic
taste.
In more than 25 years Miss Arm
strong had no communication with the
outside world except through her guard
ian, Mr. Hayes. who eashed the divi-
derds on her securities. She submitted
with i'll grace to the payment of the
small taxes on her home and hid the
rest of the money. She boarded food
aud clothing with the same tenacity
and cunning she displayed in concealing
her money.
Miss Armstrong inherited her estate
from her father, who was the owner
of the stage line between this city and

instance on which she expended so much
as | cent.

Ida M. Tarben Compares Girls and Boys


In the February American Magazine.
Ida NJ. Tarbell, writing an interesting
article on women has the following to
say about young women and young men:
"In the first two or three years after
entering college, young woman will
almost invariably appear superior to the
men of her age, more grown up, more
interested, surer of herself, reader. Lat

senior, look out The chances are
she will have less interest from now

her own! In any ease she will rarely
develop as rapidly in his field from this
point as he is doing.
"He becomes assertive, confident, dom.

He discovers that his intellectual proc

ATTITUDES IN ILLINOIS.
Exact Elevations of Many Points Pub.
lished by Geological Survey.

The United States Geological Survey
and the state of Illinois are making eX-
tensive topographic surveys of the state,
the work being carried forward from
year TO year as rapidly as the federal
appropriations will admit, the state
meeting the federal expenditures dollar
for dollar and thus greatly expediting
the completion of what will be mag.
nificent map of Illinois.
In connection with this topographic
mapping the geological survey has run
many hundreds of miles OF spirit levels
and determined great number OF exact
elevations in different parts Of the state
These elevations are shown to the near
est foot on the published topographic
atlas sheets, but they are also published
by the federal survey in bulletins in
which the attitudes are given to the
thousandth of a foot These reports
therefore constitute in fact dictionary
of attitudes for Illinois, invaluable TO
engineers, surveyors, and others. Bul.
