REALLY, ITWAS A | CLEVER DISCOVERY But Facts Take Some of Romance from Press Sherlock’s Yarn Sept. 29.—Celia Her- mione Wallace, one time intimate of Hetty Green and in her heydey re- puted almost as great a financial pow- er, has locked her door against the world from which she chose to efface herself fourteen years ago. For her own good reasons—reasons which certainly do not embrace really heavy reverses in her fortune—she had sought seclusion here in a little old-fashioned house perched on a knoll beside the Boston Post Road. To her, being “found” seemed a tragedy. For her own good reasons, too, Mrs. Wallace had kept a light burn- ing in the window of her Kkitchen, the only one of the eight rooms she uses. Neighbors have told each other, until the story stands accepted as true, that the light was here to guide homo a wayward son. But last night, at any rate, it did not appear. From the “queen of diamonds,” as she was known in the 80's and 90's, Mrs. Wallace has been transformed into a veritable mystery woman. The never-failing light, her prefer- ence for living by herself with dia- monds scattered about by handfuls; her eccentricities of dress and man- ner, had made her name a byword for many miles around. Yet not un- til now have any thought to identify the hermit woman with the woman whose disappeararice created such a | furore and for whom the police of the nation were asked to search as recently as six years ago. That she is that same ‘queen of diamonds” Mrs. Wallace admitted yes- terday. That was when neighbors showed her the newspapers. Owner still of much Chicago real estate, of twenty-five acres of valuable residence property along the Post Road and of a large part at least of the hoard of precious stones which once were the delight of Sunday supplement editors, her distress at the discovery of her hiding place was succeeded by aston- ishment at the accompanying de- scription of her supposed traits. It was John Tamberlyn and his wife, who have been perhaps her clos- est friends, who showed Mrs. Wallace the newspaper stories. Betrayed into one admission, she turned, fled up the rough-hewn stone steps leadlng to her home and became a woman at bay. What manner of woman the weath- erbeaten old house hides was left for neighbors to tell. They did describe her, minutely, as -she. was when she first appeared in Savin Rock, and as she had changed with the passing of vears in her self-sought exile. They recalled snatches of conversation in which she had given evidence of close contact with Mrs. Green, of the gold reserve; Edward Everett Hale, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Henry Ward Beech- er, Frances Willard, Susan B. An- thony, Kate Sanborn and Mary Baker G. Eddy. They told of her eccen- tricities, of her fondness for clothing her eighty-year-old body in raiment of her Spartan bread and milk diet, and of her sudden retirement from the con- gregation of a local church, when she had been a member of it only a few weeks. But nothing in their stories held a Savin Rock, ‘clew to the mystery of the *“Diamond Queen’s” personality conducted disap- pearance, or a hint of the course which lay behind her retirement.

He received a rousing ovation when hc stepped to the platform and his audience gave close attention to his words.

Speak- ing of his work in the last legislature he told of the introduction of bills which later enacted into law and are of value ta the workingman, In the workman's compensation law he fought for and secured an import- ant change, giving benefits for an in- Gefinite period instead of thirty days as originally the law. He also favored a waiting periad of eleven days in place of fifteen days before benefits can be received in case of injury and rromised to work for a greater re- duction if elected.

Congressman Glynn devoted his tlme to advocating the pratective tariff and denying the claims of the democrats that the present prosperity Is not due to the war.
