Sister Pennington Captures
New York; Ex-ACtress Is
a Religious Success
BY MARGARET LANE

NEW YORK, May 9 (I.N.S.).
Fashions for women evangel-
lists do not change Sister
Edith Pennington, the motion
Observation-Disclosures
who embarked this week on
a campaign for the conversion
Of New York, addresses her
crowded tabernacle in a white
gown, and does her hair the
same way as Sister Aimee Mac
Pherson.
Sister Pennington's hair, how
ever, is black, not golden, and
her complexion is of an almost
unearthly pallor.
AbandOns Cosmetics
She has abandoned the cos
meticS she used a few years ago,
when she was a national beauty
contest winner, and uses only a
light dust Of powder. She says:
Cosmetics turn a wOman's
heart from God. When / was
saved / threw away my lip
stick and / put off my jewsls
and fine clothes, The Lord
has cleansed my heart Of the
desire for such things"
Emotional and enthusiastic
crowds are prostrating themselves
daily at the feet of Sister Pen
nington in the Glad Tidings Tab
ernacle, New York.
Men and women fall into &c
stacies before her, laughing,
shouting, throwing themselves
prone on the ground, and some
times going into transports Of
trembling, twitching, and clap
ping Of hands.
Not Of This World
Over the evangeliSt's head
streams a banner, Let go and
let God" The principal attrac-
ton of the campaign is her ad-
dresses on her own conversion,
entitled From the Footlights to
tA4O A4644t VI OAAC N4OoOS Va 44OAAA
Movieland to Cananland." She
says:
Salvation came to me when
was sitting il. the observation
car Of q train with a motion
picture director and q friend.
We passed a little church with
the words Jesus Saves illumi-
mated on it, and suddenly 1
knew that there / should find
God. 1 went there next day,
and the spirit moved in me. 1
threw away my jewels and fine
clothes and ran to the altar.
Then I had the call to preach
the Gospel, and ever since my
heart has been full of the Lord.
my life ON the stage and in
pictures was suddenly shown to.
me in all its wickedneSS, and
from that day to this-a full
seven yearS-I have never
crossed the threshold of thea
ter. I am in the world but not
of it."

Judge George A. Huron OF Topeka, who had
been appointed guardian Of Corbett when he
declared insane, received a letter from q
man who claimed TO be Boston Corbett de-
manding tha. is name be returned to the
pension rolls it having been removed after
Corbett'S escape from the hospital and dis

This man was a nomad, travelling over the
plains of Texas. trapping wolves selling patent
medicines to the raachers and engaging in
other pursuits. Judge Huron had CORE
Spondence with this man at intervals over sew
eral years, and finally was half-convinced of
the merit of his claim. In 1905 Judge Huron
was instructed by the Probate Court to find the
claimant and decide as to the merits of the
case
1t was a long journey the judge made. Down
into the Panhandle country by railroad, then
over the plains with a team and carriage, he
rode rs miles finally reaching the mean hovel
to which he had been directed The alleged
Boston Corbett was not at home, but the judge
found there the wife of the man and several
small children.
Thereupon the judge decided to await the
return of the head of the family from making
the rounds Of his wolf traps. This he did and
when the trapper appeared he talked with him,
and asked many questions which the alleged
Corbett unable to answer.
Still the pretender insisted that he was the
real Boston Corbett, but to no avail. He
arrested and taken to San Angelo Tex, and
tried before the Federal District Court, con-
victed of both forgery and fraud. fined, and
sentenced to a term in the Federal Prison at

He was not followed at once, the officers hesi-

After a week had passed the superintendent
of the hospital received a letter from the
keeper of a livery stable in Neodesha, Kans.,
advising him that the pony on which Corbett
had escaped was in his care and would be
delivered TO its owner whenever it WAS
called for.

Garages Thrice on Careless

THE tendency of the average automobile
driver to disregard warning signs along
roadways has resulted in steady income for
a number of garage men up IN the Shawangunk
Mountains in New York State. A very steep
and long hill runs from the top Of one range
at Yankee Lake down into the village of Wurst-
bOro Signs warn the drivers to take the
hill in second. but few strangers heed the
signs not realizing the length or steepneSs of
the incline. When they reach Wurtsboro, their
