RAREY, A GIRL’S WEIRD A New Hampshire Girl Whose Case Puzzles the Doctors—Charged With Shooting Sweetheart. Hanover, N. H„ May 19.—“What weird hypnotic power is possessed by this girl?" This is the question that all the people of this section have been asking in regard to Ethel Sturte- vant, a 17-year-old girl, who was given a preliminary hearing at Haverhill to day on a charge of being Implicated In the shooting of her sweetheart, Jesse Barden. Whatever , the outcome of the case may be It will be a long time before the neighborhood ceases to talk of "The Wonder Child,as the girl is called. Her mother, whose mysteriouB death three years ago, with the ensu ing inquest, brought Ethel firBt before the public gaze, declared that the girl had been poisoned; others claimed that she had been hypnotized, but medjcal men, though puzzled, clung to the theory that she was afflicted with some disease akin to epilepsy. Sinking into strange hypnotic trances and evolving poetry and prose on subjects far beyond her sane ken, again dreaming placidly and afterward averring Bhe had spdken with spirits; at other times writhing In horrible convulsions, cursing, tearing her hair and often attempting suicide, the Btrange child seemed to be dominated by some fiendish mentality. In her normal state she was clever, though not precocious, bright and winsome. The circumstances surrounding the shooting which haB again brought her Into the limelight arc as mysterious as the other factB which have marked her young life. The shooting took place some three weeks ago, the victim be ing Jesse Barden, a young farmer boy who had paid court to Miss Ethel. He turned up at his tome with a bullet embedded In his lung. For a week or more his life was despaired o'f. He accused his sweetheart of the crime, while she as stoutly denied It. She was arrested, and on the long night ride to the county prison, the unusual girl joked and twitted the sheriff and appeared to be In the highest spirits. There Is a general feeling that the girl will be dismissed and left free to fur ther mystify the community with her weird and inexplicable powers.

Undoubtedly the first fire company organized la this country was formed In New York In 1058. It was called the Prowlers and was composed of eight men, with 250 buckets, books and small ladders. Wbcre the buckets were ob tained and whether or not they were In addition to those owned by the town tho rocords fall to state. In 1079 Salem purchased two or three dozen cedar buckets, besides hooks nfid other Im plements; also the selectmen and two others were authorized to take com-, mnnd at fires and to blow up and pull down buildings when such action was necessary. This practice appears to have been much more common before the use of engines than afterward. Boston on Sept. 0, 1070, ordered that every quarter of the town should bo provided with twenty swobes, two scoopes and six axel). Tbo swobes, or swabs, aB "they ate now called, wero long handled mops that could bo used to put out roof fires. Tbe general use of swabs has long since disappeared, but when a slight blaze Is beyond the -reach of a pall of water and more Im proved apparatus Is not at band a long handled mop Is today tho most ef ficient article to be used. In Japan these swabs may be seen on many roof tops. In 1690 New York ordered that five ladders and also hooks be made. In Philadelphia no mention Is made of public precaution against firo until 1696, when a law was pnssed forbid ding tho firing of chimneys or allowing the same to become foul. Ench house was to havo a swab, bucket or pall. Another act was passed In 1700 order ing every household to have two leath er buckets. In the following year six or eight hooks for tbe purpose of tear ing down bouses were ordered to be made. Tomtit AmnWi Reply. “We have a new baby at our house." “What’s his name?" “I don’t know.
