f NAIIED l0__ I CROSS
Young Woman Subject of an
' Atrocious Public. Exhibition.
IS . HORRIBLY GRUGII‘IED
She Laughed and Chatter! While
0
Nails \Verc Driven Through Her
Hunds—Onlookers Were Disgust-
ed and Turned Array Sick.
Chicago, Feb. 12.—A woman actually
nailed to the cross! Now, in the end of
the Nineteenth century! And she laughs
and sings and makes merry over it.
The most atrocious exhibition of her-
ror,-to whet the morbid appetite of the
curious is going on in this city. Many
who have seen it have turned awa y
faint and sick at the sight. Others grow
indignant and demand that such an ex-
hibition of horror be stopped. But the
woman laughs and the nailing to the
' cross goes on.
Miss Evatina Tardo, a. young woman
who recently gave several remarkable
exhibitions of withstanding the bites of
poisonous snakes without injury before
medical experts, was Thursday night
nailed to a cross in a Clark street dime
museum, and kept suspended for two
hours and a half. Only her left hand
and right foot were pierced, but Miss
Taido went through the ordeal without
fiinching. Indeed, she laughed, chatted
and sang while the nails were being
d: :ven into‘her flesh, and declared she
had never enjoyed herself before quite
s ) well.
Miss Tardo insists that no optical illu-
: .on was employed. The tree was placed
on a platform where the progress of the
steel through the flesh and wood could
be seen by the 500 spectators. After she
, had been securely fastened to the im-
provised cross a long line of Visitors
filed past the impaled woman and felt
the heads of the nails and shuddered.
Some of the tender—hearted spectators
were thrown into hysterics by some of
the exhibitions she gave just preceding
the crucifixion. These consisted of
fondling rattlesnakes as long as a yard
stick and tickling them 'until they sank
their'fangs deep into her breast and
arms.
to be forced through her tongue while
she sang a popular song. Three men
who were standing closest to Miss
Tardo during this operation were over-
come by the sight and~sank to the floor.
Dr. George A. Bangs superintended
the crucifixion. A volunteer was asked
for to drive the nails, but no one re-
sponded. The physician was compelled
to do the work of the Roman soldier.
Not a drop of blood showed where
the nail had pierced the tissue of the
hand. Miss Tardo explained that ‘she
had such control over the circulatlon in
her body that she could draw all the
blood out of her arm from the elbow.
The left foot of the little woman was
bared and arflther nail
through the member.
“Before I gave the nails to the doctor
I'had them steeped in deadly poison,”
lectured Miss Tardo. “There wouldn’t
be'any fun unless I had prussic acid on
the ends. This is such great sport that
I am going to be crucified again to-
morrow night and three nights next
week.”
Miss Tardo remained impaled from
8.30 o’clock until 11. '
FIGHTING IN GUATEMALA.
Bloodshed and Revolution Follow
Barrios’ Assassination.
San Francisco, Cat, Feb. 11.—A spec-
ial from ‘San Jose de Guatemala says:
“Civil strife and bloodshed have fol-
lOWed the killing of Barrios. Before
the body of the late ruler had found
sepulchre the factions were flying at
each other’s throats, and, as a result.
Gen. Marroquin, the chief. supporter of
Prospero Morales, one of the aspirants
to the Presidency, is dead, and his
forces are seeking safety in flight. It
was Tuesday night that Gen. Marro«
quin attempted to seize the reins of
Government in behalf of Morales. He
made an attack in force on the palace
barracks. The assault was vigorously
resisted, and in the fighting Gen. Mar-
roquin and a few others were killed.
Seeing that their efforts would not
prove successful the attacking forces,
consisting of 2,000 men, headed by Gen.
Majera and Col. Arrevalo, fled from the
city.
{‘Yesterday Gen. Toledo, who has
been appointed Minister of War by
Manuel Estrada Cabrera, the President
pro tem. of the republic, ordered the
artillery in pursiut of the fleeing revo-
lutionists.
”The populace and soldiers demand
that Gen. Mendizabel be proclaimed
President- The situation is becoming
more complicated and the crisis is
acute.”

Senator Hanna’s Sent Contested.
Cleveland, Feb. 12.—Mayor McKisson,
acting on the report of the Senate Bri-
bery Investigating Committee, an-
nounces his intention of contesting the
seat of M. A. Hanna. _. Thursday even-
ing he sent to the clerk of the United
States Court formal notice of his con.
tea . He bases his contest upon the
ground that Hanna was not legally
elected because he or his friends used
illegitimate influence to secure the nec-
essary 73' votes. The fact that the
Mayor has taken the step leaked out
from an authoritative source. The law
prescribes that a contest must be filed
within thirty days from the date of the
election, and the notice will. therefore.
reach Washington just in the nick 01
time.

Enthusiastic Report of fa
Worcester Woman. '
Mrs. L. J. Kirby, 280 Park avenue,
YVorcester, who has suii'ered intensely
for several years with a. terrible case
of nasal and pharyngeal catarrh,‘ and
chronic ulcerated sore throat says:—
, “I have had the catarrh for only
about three years,,it‘ all coming on af-
ter a severe attack of the grip, but it
had progressed so rapidly that it had
become one of the worst cases I ever
knew about. Words cannot describe
what I have suffered from it A friend
who had tried and obtained great re-
lief from California Catarrh Cure rec-
ommended it to me and I sent and got
a bottle and commenced using it. I am-
now using my second bottle, which is
the dollar size, and I could shout its
praises all day long, that each and
every one suffering from catarrh in any
form might obtain relief, for I have
had all the symptoms and know where-
I had not been able to smell
a thing, or get anything through my
nostrils for over two years until I
used California Catarrh Cure, and it
has stopped the dropping into my
throat and onto the stornach, which
had caused me so much trouble hawk-
ing, spitting, etc. I had a very bad ul— _
cerated sore throat, which it has cured
entirely. One ulcerated sore ate my
right tonsil all out, now it has all filled
up again. I had been under specialists’
treatment at the Worcester Hospital
for three months. but my throat grew
worse instead of better. I can now
speak loud enough to be heard across
the street, while before using Califor-
nia Catarrh Cure my voice had grown
very husky and my throat pained me
all the time. I could enumerate many
more ways in which 0. C. C. has helped
me, but. the above must prove to any
one that this is truly the most wonder-
ful remedy of the nineteenth century,
and no one can say too much in its
praise.”
