Bint to arouse the liet.ter nature of the

Buuii Hotel, Philadelphia.
BTiiose “two strange foreign ladies!”
BWhere are they?
HOW BERTHA ARRIVED IX TOWN.
Btwo riehlv and fashionably attired 1 idies
B-i-tered at the Continental Hotel, in this
Bfi during March, 1870. They were as-
Bni'd to a comfortable suite of rooms, and
Be lintel clerk on duty noticed that one of
Be ladies (she who appeared to be the elder
Brl 'mo.'t wealthy and influential of the two)
Bas quite an invalid and appeared to be in
Beat suffering.
H Consequently he was not astonished when
Br younger lady of the two strangers hastily
Kit for Dr. Charles P. Turner, of No. l.jOli
B'almit street. Later it became known that
Be elder of the two distinguished looking
Bf’ifin ladies had giveil birth to a girl child.
■ The mysterious behavior of the two ladies
Bdurallv attracted attention and comment,
Bid consequently the faets in the case and
■ : ,p|*-araiiee of the strangermother were
■irtullv noted.
■ The latter was a woman about 3.5 years of
L and slightly above the medium height,
Bitli verv dark hair, coal black eyes, a clear
■uuplexion, of stately appearance, and in
■ whole demeanor, bearing and conversa
■„ii showed that she was a woman of high
■ir:li, education and refinement. The 5ec
■.,,,,1 the two strangers was classed as her
■maid," “sister” or “companion." Both
■dies spoke with a foreign accent, using the
■nglish French language with equal
so i as impossible to determine to
■hat nati> iity they belonged.
A HEARTLESS MONSTER.
■ Soon after the birth of the child the
■other asked Dr. Turner if she could not
Bare the infant in one of the institutions of
Kc city, and, upon being informed that she
Kulil not, she asked if it were not possible
■ get some family to adopt the babe as their
■vn.
■ To this last question Dr. Turner replied
Bat it was possible to do as the mother sug-
Bsted, hut remonstrated with her for even
■inking of separating herself from her
Hfspring and placing it in the hands of
Brangers.
B But the strange lady’s heart was not to be
■ftened, and in replying to the doctor’s re
■onstrances revealed her secret.
B She claimed that she was the possessor of
B very large fortune in Europe, and that
Be could only hold it so long as she re-
Bained single, but, the stranger added, she
Bill niairied secretly, and in order “to
■void the jxissibility of the proof of her mar-
Bage coming to light” had visited this eouu
■. pretending that she w r as traveling for
B'alth. to give birth to the child.
■ Dr. Charles P. Turner, who ranks among
Be most prominent physicians in this city,
Bof the opinion that "so far as outward
Bow would indicate the truth of an asser
■on," the strange lady's story was honestly
Bid.
■ Finding that the unnatural mother was
Btermined to get rid of her child, Dr. Tur
■r suggested that an advertisement should
B inserted in the Ledger , offering SSOO to
B proper person who would adopt anew
B°ni female child,
GIVEN AWAY.
■ Hundreds of answers were received in re
■h to the advertisement, from which the
■ames of David Watkinz and wife were se
■eted ami the couple asked to call at the
B on tinental hotel.
■ Three or four days after the birth of the
Banger’s child Mr. and Mrs. Watkinz met
8 10 mother at the Continental in the pres
■ice of Dr. Turner, the “sister” and a nurse,
■e latter carrying the babe. The follow
■g conversation, according to Dr. Tumor,
■len followed:
■ “Will you receive my child and take good
■are of it?” asked the aristocratic stranger.
■ “Yes,” replied Mrs. Watkinz.
I "And will treat it as your own?”
■ “Yes.”
1 “Then you may take her,” were the
■range mother’s next words as she placed a
■elily jeweled hand in a small satchel, took
■ut a roll of bank notes, counted out five
■IOO bills, kissed the babe and gave the
■ouev and child to its purchased protector.
I Before leaving this city the foreign lady
■sked Dr. Turner for his address, admitting,
■owever, that there was no probability of
■er wanting it, as she would never desire to
■> her child again. (The stranger also per
sistently refused to give Dr. Turner her
■ame or address, and frankly admitted that
■he names entered upon the register of the
■oiitineiital Hotel were assumed for the oe
■asion only. When the physician’s bill was
■resented the stranger pronounced the total
■o be much too small, and insisted upon
■landing him an envelope containing more
■lran three times the amount of the bill ren
■“sj ' Home days later the two foreigners
■udiiealy and unexpectedly left the hotel,
■ayng they were going to Baltimore and
■vv a-snington, and from that day to this, over
■eventeen years ago, no trace has lien found
■of them.

T FROM THE RECORDS.
1 .'■'mtroversy in 1878 over the pos es- |
n or the little waif found in tho records of I
T.rV'vfy. thus:
A *auv eutorod tho otllca uud asked to see I
the girl. The lady was apparently about 4.5
years of ago, dressed well though not richly,
and her genera! appearance and conversa
tion betokened refinement. In her inquiries
concerning Julia she revealed the deepest
interest, and when the Secretary related to
her the sad story of the child’s wrongs she
gi*eat emotion and exclaimed:
“1 had no idea the poor child had iieen
so neglected.’
“‘May I ask your name?” inquired the
secretary, as the possibility of tracing up
Julia’s parentage now presented itself.
“She replied: ‘I cannot tell vou who I
am, hut I would like to see the child.’
“ ‘Of c iurse I cannot tell you where she
is unless you inform me who it is that wants
to see her,’ replied the Secretary.
'■ 'You need not be afraid of me,’ answered
the lady. ‘I don’t wish to take her away;
I only want to see if she resembles her
mother.
“The Secretary then explained to tho visi
tor that he could not be expected to confide
m her if she refused to acquaint him with her
name and who she was, and so she contented
herself with inquiring more specifically as
to the appearance of the mother.
“ ‘Julia’s mother was about 35 years of
age,” began the Secretary.
“ ’Yes,” interposed the mysterious visitor.
“ \\ ith dark nail 1 and eyes, and was evi
dently a lady of wealth and refinement,’
continued the Secretary. ‘She was richly
attired and displayed a profusion of dia
monds and jewelry.’
“ Yes, yes.’ chimed the lady.
“ ‘She spoke French, German and English
fluently; appeared to have a thorough
knowledge of music and was a fine per
former on the piano.’
“‘Just so,’said the lady excitedly, as if
the description given by the Secretary cor
responded with her knowledge of the identity
of the mother.
ADVISED TO ADVERTISE.
“‘She said she was from Europe, but
gave no particular locality as her residence;
that a large property had been left to her
subject to the condition that she would
never marry, and if she violated this provi
sion she was to lose it. She said she had
married privately, and had come to this
country to give birth to her child so as to
insure secrecy.’
“ ‘The description of the lady you have
given,’ responded the visitor, ‘answers very
accurately that of the ladv to whom I have
reference; and although" I do not feel dis
posed to furnish you any further informa
tion, I will offer you a suggestion, if you
are still anxious to-find out anything further
about the history and parentage of the
child, and that is, to send her photograph
and a brief recital of the case to the London
Times. lam sure, from what I know, you
will have a response and a request for
further particulars, the result of which wiil
unravel the apparent mystery that now
covers it.
“After expressing her wishes that success
might attend our efforts in the direction of
her suggestion, she politely bid us adieu and
left the office ”
The suggestion to send her photograph
and a- recital of Julia’s ease to the London
Times was acted upon, but nothing came
of it.
On the other hand, letters from all parts
of the country were received offering to
adopt the stranger’s child, and as Sirs.
Noilz was quite willing not to stand in the
way of the little girl’s future if a wealthy
couple desired to befriend her, the society
investigated the best of the offers made and
a selection was finally made, in which
wealth, education, culture and refinement
were promised, and little Julia finally took
leave of Philadelphia, and in company with
Dr. Turner started for her new home, the
exact location of which is for obvious rea
sons withheld from the public.
There is little more too add.
THE PRINCE IS FOUND.
“Bertha Woodbury’s” adopted father was
in this city a few months ago and called on
Dr. Turner at his office, No. 15mi Walnut
street.
It was learned that the “stranger’s child”
was then a most beautiful and accomplished
young lady “of good manners” and pleasing
address, that “her character was most esti
mable and that all loved her for her good
ness of heart.”
Bertha’s engagement to a California mil
lionaire enables the writer to record a most
charming denouement to this romantic his
tory, and many Philadelphians will wish
“Bertha Woodbury” joy and ‘happiness as
she enters upon this new chapter in her life’s
histoi y.
Stay!
A few words more.
Skeptics may doubt the authenticity of
tjr, story.
there be any such unbelieving your
correspondent begs to refer them to Dr.
Charles P. Turner, No. 150 G Walnut street,
this city, or to auy of the officers of the
Pennsylvania Society to Protect Children
from Cruelty.
And, by the by, if you call at the latter’s
office on Chestnut street, at the corner of
Broad street, glance over the archway in the
visitor’s main room and you will see a life
size portrait of a most beautiful young girl.
It was from it that your correspondent
gleaned the idea of inquiring about the his
tory of the original.
It is the picture of “Bertha Woodbury,”
then Julia Watkinz, when she was 8 years
old. %
WHISPERING ACROSS THE SEA.
Already One May Talk a Thousand
Miles on a Telephone.
From the New York Star.
There seems to be no limit to the possibili-,
ties of science and its application to the
affairs of the commercial world. One of the
great needs of the day is rapid, accurate
and often secret communication between
commercial centres Experiments iu long
distance telephoning by the Bell Company
over the exix'riinental line established in
1884 between New York and Boston, have
demonstrated the great utility of that
method. Investigations were made in many
directions, and as a result of tho labor of
Edison, Gilliland, Blake, Hughes, Hunuing
and other eletricians, the long distance trans
mitter was perfected.
The old wires were found to be unequal to
the requirements of long-distance work; and
after repeated trials by leading manufactur
ers a hard-drawn copper wire of great ten
sile strength and conductivity was pro
duced. This wire has proved to lx? tho best
as yet manufactured for electrical purposes.
Through the use of this wire and the im
proved transmitter the possibility of a per
fect. long-distance service was established.
But the requirements are said to have been
the most exacting. Cables of great size and
high insulation were demanded, and the
most careful attention required iuallthe de
tails of construction.
Besides the Bell line to Boston another
system lias just been constructed between
this city and Philadelphia. The last line is
owned and operated by the American Tele
phone and Telegraph Company. It is said
to have cost $2. )0,000 to establish communi
cation between New York and the Quaker
City, and twenty-five wires are already in
use. The wires are extra heavy, and forty
live poles are used to the mile, being ole ven
more than used over any other system. The |
old style of grounded ivirre has lieen replaced |
by the complete circuit. That is, instead of
using one wire grounded at each end of tin- I
line, two wires connected at each end form
a complete circuit of the electric current be
tween terminal points. By this method
“cross talk,” the induction between adjacent,
wires, and tho hissing sound peculiar to
grounded wires are avoided.
Communication s already possible be
tween FhiladclplJ Boston, and every
word in con versa!, the win* can be
distinctly heard. .'••ricau Company l
is now engaged in . ~ig its lines to New
Haven, Boston, l’i . .vjueiioe and other East
era cities. The in 4 xiinum cost of a mes
sage between New York and Philadelphia is
sl, and wires are rented of tbeeonipany by
brokers at S3OO a month.

American Com(siuy at No. 15 Cortlandt,

him to experiment over the now line. Mi. |

to the reporter. By an ingenious contriv
ance resembling the arm of a small suction
pump attaelietl to the desks the officers of
Hie company .uv enabled te talk over the
wires without leaving their official stations.
This contrivance is of nickel-plated metal,
hollow, with the trumpet or mouthpiece re
sembling that attached to ordinary speaking
tubes, only laraer.
“Joe” was asked the state of the weather
in the Quaker town, and pronounced it
fair.
• “What company is playing at the Chest
nut Street Theatre?"
‘“The Golden Giant’ combination,” was
the response. The reporter was asked if he
could accept a complimentary to that thea
tre, but not feeling equal to the wear and
tear likely to ensue from a trip by telephone
lie was forced to decline.
Mr. Hibbard informed the reporter that
tho company expected to prove the possi
bility of carrying on a conversation by tele
phone over a distance of u thousand miles,
and arrangements looking to that end are
now iieing made. He did not believe it
would lie impossible to talk across the Atlan
tic ocean, but said tliat telephone communi
cation might only be established between
the two hemispheres at such a tremendous
outlay as to render it impracticable by rea
son of its cost. <
A MONUMENT TO ST. PAUL.
Secretary Bayard Favors the Novel
Project.
fVom the Washington Post.
One of the latest projects proposed by a
number of gentlemen in this country is to
build a monument to St. Paul in his native
city of Tarsus, Asia Minor. There are a
great many churches in both this country and
Europe which have been named after St.
Paul, but none of these have been erected to
his memory. The most fitting place for such
a monument is the city of his birth, about
which there is no uncertainty, for as Paul
himself said:
“I am a man, which am a Jew of Tarsus
—a city in Cilicia; a citizen of no mean
city.”
The present population of Tarsus is about
20,000. It is situated on the Cydrine river,
and stands within controlling distance of
tho great pass of the Taurus mountains,
now, as in ancient times, the sole easy land
communication between Persia, Syria and
the West. The city has increased 50 per
cent, within fifteen years, and its streets are
being improved and paved. There are now a
number of churches and schools in Cilicia, in
a district twice as large as the State of New
York, but there are as yet no hospitals,
no homes for the aged, no orphan asylums
nor any other benevolent institutions. It. is
now proposed to build u monument to St.
Paul in the shape of a training school for
orphans, of which there are a large number
in that country, whose lot is a hard one.
These orphans are left homeless. Rev.
Cyrus Hamlin, of Lexington, Mass., the
founder of Robert College, Constantinople,
writes:
“Epidemics sweep away the parents and
leave the children. The Orientals are not
socially hard-hearted or unfeeling, and yet,
with no public institutions of relief, the con
dition Of orphans among the poor is very
sad, and the number very great.”
The intention is to educate these orphans
to become'preachers, that they may help to
evangelize the country. They should also
be taught some useful trade or industry
which would render them self-supporting.
Each child’s education will cost SSO a year
until the student is fully prepared for work
as minister or teacher. The original con
ception of this school domes from a native
of Cilicia, now a student in the New York
Union Theological Seminary—Hamtuue >S.
Jenanyan. Already a number of people in
New York have become interested m the
propon'd school, and have pledged $2,500
annually, a sum sufficient to support about
fifty children.
A board of managers has been selected
and they Weld their first meeting at the resi
dence of Col. Elliott F. Sheppard, on Fifth
avenue, New York. The following are the
officers and members as appointed ata meet
ing held recently: President, Rev. Dr. How
ard Crosby; Vice President, Col, Elliott F.
Sheppard; Treasurer, Walter T. Hatch, of
Brooklvn: Corresponding Secretary, Daniel
W. McWilliams, of Brooklyn; Recording
Secretary, Louis C. Whiten, of New York,
while the following gentlemen constitute
the Advisory Board: Clergymen, Rev.
Drs. Charles F. Deems, John Hall, Cyrus
Hamlin, Roswell D. Hitchcock, James M.
King. William Ormiston, A. J. Rulitfson,
R. S. Storrs, William M. Taylor, and the
following laymen: Cornelius N. Bliss,
William F. Lee, Frederic C. Monnel, Gus
tave Schawb, Dr. William 11. Thomson, Ira
C. Thurber and John H. Washbume.
Elliott F. Sheppard, of New York, Vice
President of the institute, accompanied by
Algernon S. Suilivan, a distinguished law
yer, called upon Mr. Bayard at the State
Department offices to explain the character
and purposes of tho institute, and also to
introduced Mr. Jenanyan and A. MeLach
lan. The Secretary was requested to in
struct the United States Minister at Con
stantinople to use his influnce with Turkey,
to have governmental protection to the
“St. Paul Institute” and orphanage school
which Mr. Jenanyan and his associates are
about to establish in Tarsus.
He showed much interest in the applica
tion, and said he would give instructions
to our Miusiter to support it with the Sul
tan.
Mr. Jenanyan will bear letters to Minister
Straus, who also hail explanations about
tins school, given to him before he left,
New York, and who expressed friendly in
terest therein.
A Mean Man.

The champion mean man has 1 or. found
again, this time in a dry goods store. A pe
culiarly gross counterfeit half dollur having
turned uppt the counting room, this clerk,

The young lady departed, but half an

CHURCH’S BOG IS!
Ready for Use Dry, No Mixing Required
STICKS to the Vines and finishes the whole
crop of POTATO BUGS with oue applica
tion; also, kills any Curoulto and the Cotton
and Tobacco W orm.
This is the only safe way to use a Strong Poi
son; none of the poison is In a clear state, but
thoroughly combined by patent process and
machinery, with material to help the very fine
jiowder to stick to the vines and entice the bugs
to eat it, and is also a fertilizer.
One Pound will go as for ns Ten Pounds of
Plaster aud Paris Green as mixed by the farm
ers, is therefore cheaper and saves trouble aud
danger of mixing and using the green, which, It
is needless to say, is dangerous to handle.
Cheaper than uoy other mixture used for the
purpose.
Guaranteed more effective than any other
mixture sold for the purpose.
