case excited much attention among the
physicians of Kansas City, maoy\ of
whom visited the poorhouse to examine
spe-
from varl-;
oua parts of the United States to ex-
amine her. None could explain the
phenomenon. The .change in her col-
or seemed to oause' Jane no pain or
worry and she look it philosophically,
rather pleased than otherwise at her
newly-found importance. When she
died a week ago'she was nearly white.
The only explanation ,glven by physi-
cians of tbs'phenomenon la that the
disease or humor of the blood brought
on what is knbwn as lucocythenla. The
corpuscles of the blood which under-
lie the pigments of the skip bad been
eo thinned that the latter was "wash-
ed out" in places, leaving it of its un-
natural hue, The pigments cause the
only difference in coloV of the negro
and Vrhite races. In the former, the
pigments are Very dark, which makes
the black hue show through the skin.
It U supposed that the “washing away”
of these pigments caused the strange
change . of. color in Jane’s case.

Is not to be the fate of one Washing-
ton woman whoso'name for sqme in-
scrutable reason for the laat half-dozen
years has been omitted from all pub-
lished acoounts of gatherings In which
she has taken part, Bays the Washing-
ton Post. An overmastering curiosity
finally prompted her to institute an in-
vestigation Into the matter. She then
found out, so far from the omission
having been intentional on the part of
the correspondents, it arose from the
fact that she was personally unknown
even by sight to*them. Having satis-
fied herself on this score, the Incognito
shortly afterward ordered her carriage
and, calling for a friend, took her for a
drive. The little excursion, planned
for pleasure, had a most disastrous ter-
mination, as the horses, taking fright,
ran away, and, getting beyond the con-
trol of the coachman, the vehicle was
overturned and both ladies injured, the
owner of the carriage quite seriously.
In the midst'of her pain as she was
being carried home there flashed
through her mind the thought that the
runaway would be given space in the
newspapers. Then, as the turnout
was her property, .her name woOld of
necessity figure in the account. * The
following morning a detailed accoant
of the accident appeared in the paper,
but by a strange fatality that has for
so long ruled her ■•elimination from
print, her name was not mentioned.
That of her companion was several
times repeated in the article, which
wound up by stating that “a friend
who was in the carriage at the time
whs also injured.”
