MRS. KELSEY, Prop.
Boy Sets Fire to Woman.
Lad of Sixteen Steals Up to Park Bench on Which Miss Catherine
McCormick Is Sleeping, Puts Newspapers Un
der Her and Starts Blaze.
An net of cruelty scarcely equaled,
the police say, in their experience was
perpetrated In New York a few days
ag > when n hoy of sixteen, scarce a
month In this country, stole up to a
sleeping wouian In Rose 11111 park ami
deliberately lit ? hontlre under her.
His victim was burned so badly that
she died later at l-'ordhani hospital.
The woman was Miss Catherine Mc
t'ormlck, thirty-eight years old, of
Mount Vernon. The boy who was ac
cused of the crime by persons who de
clared they saw his act was Francisco
Derastano. He Is said by his neighbors
to be somewhat dull wltted. and he was
roail station, and took a seat on one of
the benches. Being tired, she fell
asleep.
She was spied by the Deraslano boy,
who, according to Richard Thatcher,
watched the slumbering woman for a
few minutes, then gathered up n bun
dle of old newspapers and stealthily
appronchcd her.
The boy paused near the bench to
see If the woman was awake and, find
ing she did not stir, slyly stooped,
placed the papers directly under her
and. then set lire to the pile.
In an instant the papers were ablaze,

to exhibit some of the characteristics

Woman's Fear of FresK Air.
Believes Exposure to It Would Kill Her and on That Account Travels
In Air Tight Case to Warmer Clime.
Inclosed I.- a nearly air ti jrtit wooden !
case, which h:fs n glass front, Mrs.
William Tryon arrived at Salisbury. N.
(J., In u baggage car from her home,
Kitchburg. Muss. Mrs. Tryon, tulddlc
aged anil wealthy. l:a> suffered long
from nervous troubles and bronchitis.
She believes exposure to the air aggra
vate her Ills and has gone south to a '
warmer climate.
Mrs. Tryon's husband and a nurse '
went with ber. She arrived wrapped
In blankets and comforters. The per
splratlon was streaming from her, but
she stood the trip well and seemed '
quite cheerful.
Her traveling case, which was built
after her designs, somewhat resembles
a roomy burial casket. It Is comforta
bly upholstered and contains a clock
to mark time's flight and books to be
guile the tbue. The case containing
Mrs. l'ryon, of course, was carried by
several husky porters from the bag
gage car and placed in the center of
? . . ? . ? ? m
the station's waiting room, "right aide
up, with care," a porter said. Nat
urally Mrs. Tryon attracted much at
tention, but only wondering remarks
were cast at her little glass house.
Still In liter truly private compart
ment. .Mrs. Tryon was put on a wagon,
which hauled tier around the city
while her husband, who is president of
the German Plaster company, sought
accommodations at many boarding
houses. The landladies seemed to
think that Mrs. Tryon's presence
would not add to the gayety of the
other boarders and several refused to
admit her.
Mrs. Tryon will rent a cottage and
engage a housekeeper most probably.
Just as little air will be admitted to
her bedroom -as to her traveling case.
She has lived a year In a room to
which she has refused to admit any
fresh ait for fear she would die. She
has complained of the cold even when
she was covered with blankets and
the open temperature was 80 degrees.
Man Treed by Blacksnake.
Experience Convinces Him That This Species of Reptile Is Not
Wholly Lacking In the Power of Reason.
Two largo blaeksnakes were ob- ;
served by John DoUman sunning bo- j
side a brook In the open woods near
Highland lake, Connecticut. At sight!
of young Doffman the snakes, both of
which were fully six feet long, started
In the same direction, finally disap
pearing In a hole between large stones
at the base of a hemlock tree.
Doflfman procured a long piece of
rope, to one end of which he fastened
a noose made of fine wire, and after
placing It over the hole climbed the
tree with the other end of the rope In
his hand. As one of the snakes
emerged from the ground Doffman
pulled upon the rope, snaring tho rep
tile.
No sooner had he done so, however,
than the snake's mate came out of the
hole and, apparently realizing the pre
dicament of Its lassoed mate, started
n(i the rope after Doffman, who, after
the reptile had ascended to within n
fow feet of him, dropped tho rope.
Doffman did not dare to leave the
tree until the two snakes and the ropo
disappeared through the woods.
Doffman Is now convinced that
klacksnakes can reason.
