CASSIE CHADWICK BLIND.

Affliction Whicli Came Upon Hypnotic Swindler Iri Incurable, The wages of sin is blindness to Mis. Cassie Chadwick, the most strenuous get-rich-quick woman this country has ever

produced. Incarcerated in the State prison at Columbus; Ohio, serving a 10year sentence, this remarkable woman, whose mesmeric power competed some of the shrewdest bankers in the United States to do her bidding, is shut out the world around her by an affliction from which she will never recover. The affliction came upon her suddenly and the doctors'say it is incurable. There has been a complete physical breakdown. Practically alone in the world, deserted by those who had in the days of her affluence been proud to call her friend, the Ur. Jekyll of her past always before her. she is suffering as only a woman with a past and a con-

science can suffer. She is a woman after all. Even her jailers, are treating her with that deference due to her sex, forgetting her crimes. Absolutely dependent upon her keepers for her every want, Mrs. Chad Wick is more than likely to end her days in darkness, surrounded by foes, while the last sad rites will be administered by those who in a perfunctory sort of way do it because it is part of their duty.

MRS. CHADWICK.
