WO AN.
,Auburn, a pretty suburb of'
Providence, It I, has been excit-
ed ofiq!to oyer a mysterious wo-
man *Its appeared suddenly in
hedgerows at night, frightening
women and children, but making
herself generally agreeable to all
the men she met.
Tho other night Deputy Sheriff
Frank Viall accomplished 1,'er Cap-
ture. She was taken to Auburnr
where she divulged to Dir Viall
the fact that 'she' was not a wo-
man but a lean, employed as a
domestic, doing cooking and gen
oral housework in the family of
Mr John Bull, of Auburn. The
official could baldly believe it.
The prisoner's figure and oar-
riage were unmistakably a wo-
man's. lie way less than five
'feet four inches in height, and his
features were small 'except the
naso, which was thin and gave to
his face a peaked look. The
voice also was feminine.. Front
the jauntily trimmed • hat, sur-
mounting tt wealth of black hair
wisted in a French roll, . to the
small feet eneased in fashionably
• shaped kid boots, everything' WAN
womanly. •'rho sobbing captive
was neatly :attired in a brown
dregs with a 'fashionably draped
overskirt and a light checked
wolst�,d sncque, The figuao as
.outlined in these garments was
blender and 'willowy,and was that
of a woman in every respect.
1(e said his proper name is
Frail goroross, but that be is
known as Mabel Stanley. He
begged to be released, declaring
that ho had no improper intent in
donning female attire, but did it
to secure such employment as he
was engaged in, preferring it to
masculine means of livelihood. IIe
was taken to Olneville, and at
midnight was arraigned. IIe de-
clared ho had worn female attire
only since last July, and that ho
came to Prr; idonce from Boston
in ,A; 1. IIe pleaded guilty to
the charge of being a lewd and
wanton. person in speech and bo—
havior, and a sentence of' three
years in the State workhouse was
imposed.
In an interview later he said
that he was born in Boston and
always lived there until last April.
Ile never wanted to wear boy's
clothes when a child, but was
:compelled to wear thorn when
about seven or Dight years old.
'Soon afterward his father died
and he loft his mother, and pro-
curing girl's clothing donned fo-
male attire.and went to live with
n family named Cordia in South
Boston. He lived with them till
he was seventeen years old, and
was known only , as a girl. At
that age ho left to marry " a man
named Loott Ring, of Boston.
The ceremony was performed by
a Boston clergyman, and not till
after they were married was his
sex discovered by King. They
Jived together for three years and
then separated. A year ago last
April he was arrested in Chelsea
on a charge of picking a man's
pockets. Then his sex was di-
' vulged.—N Y _Herald.

MEN.
About fifteen of the thirty -throe
woman who have been Mari iod to
.James W Brown, the champion
benedict, since 1883, confronted
him in the Rceorder's Court, at•
'Detroit, Mich. The list of vic-
tims in, 'uded Helen Brownlee
•and Annie Winters, of Chicago,
•who, with Annie M Hazel, Mary
Benjamin and N'ney Robertson.,
were the only ones ' called on to
give c , idence against Brown.
• •'The I;. •)jam'in woman was the
prost Ciltin•g witness: It was es-
tablished that Brown's .method
was to advertise fora•housekeej 3r,
select as a victim the ono frim
among the applicants who pleased
him most, and marry her as soon
as possible. He would desert her
after•a few4ays.•
;hive clergymen `certified to
marrying Brown to as many dill=
• ferentwomen;and the cage against
him was so clear that the prose-
cutor left it to the ,jury without
argument. ,;town testified in
his own behalf, and made a sorry
mess of it, contradicting himself
at evcry,.turn. He professed not
t.o remember any of his dupes, as;•
sorting that 11e was only marries]
once and that his wife was dead,
and that he had once been con-
fined in a lunatic asylum in New
Orleans. Drown was pallid and
looked like a sick man. During
the trial lane} Robertson's in-
dignation could tt,rtt be repressed,
and she denounced Brown as a
perfidious wretch. The jury
agreed with her evidently, for
they took only four minutes to
find him guilty. Sentence was
deferred for the court to investi•
gate Brown'; career still further.

Skin diseases cannot be successfully
treated by external applications. The
proper way to euro such complaints is
t•t purify the blood with Ayer's Sarsap-

of this medicine all the functions of the
body are brought into healthy action.

Pullman Vestibuled Train
It is universally conceded that, not-
withstanding the advent of old and new
lines into the field of competition for
passenger traffic between Chicago, Mil-
waukee, St. Paul and Minneapolis, the
Cti, cago, Milwaukee & St. Paul railway
maintains its pre-eminent position as
the leading line, and carries the greater
portion of the business between these
points. It is not hard to account for
this, when' we consider that it was the
first in the field, and gained its popular-
ity by long years of first-class service.
It has kept up to the times by adopting
all modern improvements in equipment
and methods, the latest being ccinnlete
PullmanVestibuledtrains-runningd lily
between Chicago, Milwaukee, St. rail
and Minneapolis, and its route lain;
along the banks of the Mississippi,
through the finest farming country, the
most populous and prosperous towns
and villages, it offers to its patrons the
very best service their ntcney can buy.
Its dining cars are celebrated through-
out the length and breadth of the land
as being the finest in the world. Its
sleeping cars are the best belonging to
the Pullman company, being marvels of
elegance, comfort and luxury; its day
coaches are the best made, and its em-
ployees, by long -continued service in
their respective capacities, are experts,
courteous and accommodating to all.
It is not at all strange, therefore, that
an intelligent and discriminating tra-
velling public should almost exclusively
fiatronize this great railway, with its
separate through lines running between
Chicago, Milwaukee, St: Paul and Min-
neapolis; Chicago, Council Bluffs and
Omaha; Chicago, Kansas City, and St.

To Save Life
Frequently requires prompt action. An
hour's delaywaiting for the doctor may
lie attended with serious consequences,"
especially in cases of Croup, Pneumonia,
and other throat and lung troubles.
Hence, no family should be without a
bottle of Ayer's Cherry P etoral,
which has proved itself, in thousands of
eases, the best Emergency Medicine
ever discovered. It gives prompt relief
and prepares the way for a thorough
cure, which is certain to•be effected by
its continued use.
S. 1T. Latimer, M. D., Mt. Vernon,
Oa., says: "I have found Ayer's Cherry
Pectoral a perfect cure for Croup in all
cases. I have known the worst cases
relieved in a very short time by its use;
and I advise all families to use it in sud-
den emergencies, for coughs, croup, &c."
A. J. Eidson, M. D., Middletown,
Tenn., says : "I have used Ayer's
Cherry Pectoral with the best effect in
my practice. This wonderful, prepara-
tion once saved my life. I had a con-
stant cough, night sweats, was. greatly
reduced in flesh and given up by my
Pphysician. One mottle and a half of the
'ectoral cured me."
" I cannot say enough in praise of
Ayer's Cherry Pectoral," writes E.
Bragdon, of Palestine, Texas, " believ-
ing as I do that, but for its use, I should
long since have died."
