"GirI of Mystery" at
City Hospital Taken to
Morris Plains Asylum

Dorothy Walsh, the young woman
of mystery, who has had the City
Hospital authorities guessing as to
her identity since her admission to
the institution on June %, was today
adjudged insane by Judge William
P. Martin and taken to the State
Asylum for the Insane at Morris
Plains.
Not a single clue to the identity of
the girl has been found except that
on one occasion she said her name
was Dorothy Welsh or Webb. A
number of examinations were made
of her by Drs. c. C. Beling and j.
Henry Clark without result.
All the information they could
CLEAN from the young woman was
that her name was "Skidoo," and
that she had a friend named willie"
whom she was anxious to find. She
also told the alienists she had worked
in a department store in Philadel-
hipa, but did not know which one.
As to her own or family history,
the young wowan's mind is a perfect
blank. 1t is expected that a few
weeks treatment at Norris Plains
will result in at least partial clear
ing up of her mental faculties.

AT THE THEATRES
KEENEY'S

Detective Saxon made a raid on
Keeney's Theatre last night and took
the place by storm. The same thing
happened twice during the afternoon.
Saxon is the International Detective.
Where he goes crooks culver. He
demonstrates his wonderful ability at
the close of every performance at
Keeney's.
To describe the act would spoil the
effect for those who have not seen it.
1t is a sllit that lasts about twenty
minutes. 1t holds the audience breath
less during its run. One rapid de-
volopment follows another. The
climax comes with a rush. The plot
is wonderful The artists are talented.
Ten men interpret the act. There's
a snap that satisfies. There's sus-
pense that's breathless.
Mabel Montgomery & Go. have an
other clever sketch called Poisoned
Again" This is u scream. 1t is a
laugh from start to finish. George
EVers, substituting for Arthur Wat
kins is another scream. He keeps the
audience in bubbles all the time he's
on the stage.
Warner & Corbett are a mixed pair
with string of clever songs and new
dances. Malley & Woods were also
good in the same kind of an act. May
hastings is coincidence with a
beautiful voice and a winning way.
She's good. Then there are the Three
Juggling Millers. Their feats make
one dizzy. The Abyssinia Trio offer
some wonderful solo and trio work.
Thew were well received.

KatO Heeds United States
Request Not to Publish
Japanese Treaty Details

TOXIC. Japan, June 3O,-Takaaki
Kato, the japanese foreign minister,
today announced that details of the
treaty negotiations between Japan
and the United States on the subject
of the Californian alien land owner
ship legislation would not be published
out of Difference to a request from the
United States government and also
because the publication was deemed
unnecessary.
The comment today of the more
moderate among the leading news
papers unanimously expresses dissat-
isfaction with America, but following
the cue given by the foreign minister
shows a disposition soberly to discuss
the subject in the hope of enliShten-
ing, instead of exciting the public.
The fear is expressed that Japan'e
case is hopeless and there is evidence
of strong feeling that the time has
arrived to fix the status of Japanese
subjects living abroad.

SLIPPER OF SLAIN AUSTRIAN EMPRESS
NOW PART OF UNIQUE EXHIBIT HERE

The history of the shoe itself is in
teresting. Given by the Empress to
a favorite lady in waiting, the
Countess Francesca Vanni, it was
presented on her death to a charity
bazaar in Vienna, to be sold in aid of
one of the works of mercy in which
the martyred Empress had been most
interested during her lifetime. A little
later it came into the possession of
the United States Shoe Machinery
Company, of Boston and Beverly, and
was added to their magnificent col
lection of ancient and historical foot
wear.
The little imperial slipper. with its
tragic associations, is only one of
about seventy-five examples that
have been in the window of the local
store during the past week. Other
shoes with a strong historical interest
include a great jack boot. said to have
belonged to Henry ". of France, out
of whose ample material six or seven
pairs of shoes could be cut today;
brocade mass shoe worn by Pope Plus
VI. in 1885, and high-laequered clog
used by the women of the CLOSED
quarter of Toxic up to 1887 in the
yearly cherry blossom festival.

The Doom of the Hapsburgs, -
startlingly exemplified in the tragic
assassination of Archduke Francis
Ferdinand and his morgantic consort
in Seravejo last Sunday, is recalled
for Newark people by one of the ex-
amples of historical footwear now
being shown in a show window of
the Bamberger store, a bedroom Slip
per worn by the late Empress of Aus
tria during the infancy of the Crown
Prince Rudolph in Vienna, many
years ago.
The slipper. which shows little signs
of wear, is of white silk broche,
with a tuckered border and a lining
of rose-colored watered silk. 1t is
remarkably long and slender. The
Empress, as is well remembered, was
assassinated in Geneva by an
anarchist workingman named Lue-
eheni, who, owing to the laws of the
canton of Geneva, escaped capital
punishment, and died a raving maniac

brunn, an imperial hunting seat, re-
mains one of the unsolved riddles of

NEW LIGHT ON THE BLAINE CAMPAIGN
IN OLD LETTER FOUND IN WASHINGTON

interesting document. and throws new
light on one OF the greatest political
struggles ever known in American
politics. l should think that it would

The "letter from German" has not
been found yet, but it is assumed that
it contained inside information
about the progress of the campaign
and the gambling chances as they APP
peared to a very shrewd observer
within two weeks OF Tho election.
How much Mr.. Hickey bet on Cleve-
land. if anything, is not known; but
ie he took Senator Vests pointer he
must have been a much disappointed
man. Blaine, as the figures show,
was not by any means "a dead GER

States-Californ he and

for Blaine. out of a total vote of
10, 052, FOG cast at the election Mr..
Cleveland beat Mr.. Blaine by only
23,005 votes, a perilously close margin
in a fight like that. Senator Vest
guessed right only once in four times.
Mr. Cleveland carried Indiana by a
plurality of 6,512-it had given Mr..
Garfield, the Republican candidate. a
plurality of 6,64t in 1880; New Jersey,
by a plurality of 4,35t-in 1880 Han
cock carried the State by a plurality
of 2,O10, and Connecticut by plural
ity of 1,274-in 1880 Connecticut gave
Garfield a plurality of 1855. BY all
the rules of the game, California
should have been set down in the
Democratic column, as in the election
of 1880 it had been carried by the
Democrats by a plurality of rs. In
1884 it gave the Republicans a plu-
rality of 13, 12S, and that was before

OLYMPIC PARK

The success of the free operate
concert given last Sunday night by
the Olympic Park Opera Company at

agement to arrange for another con-
cert next Sunday night, when the
forty members of the company will
again be heard in selections from
grand opera and classical music.
These concerts, held on the floor of
the large dancing pavilion, give an
opportunity for a large number of
persons to hear to advantage the
Olympic Park singers and also to
form a more intimate acquaintance
with the performers.
