THE FIRST WOMEN BAREBACK RIDER.
The first woman bareback rider and
"the mother of the profession," died and
was buried in Philadelphia last week.
Her body was followed to the grave by
as strange a funeral procession as ever
paid last tribute to mortal remains; for
if it was not a circus it was at least
a parade of all the circus performers who
have been wintering in Philadelphia.
Louisa, widow of Williac C. Brown, was
76 years old at her death—an age that
reflects credit upon the healthfulness of
her profession. She was the most dar
ing and graceful of all woman bare
back riders.
For fifty years she appeared in the
ring, first as a small child, then as the
finished rider, and last of all, as rider
of high-schooled horses. When she re
tired it was with honor; and she has
since been known and revered as Mad
ame Brown.
She was born in Germany of a fam
ily of acrobats and was only five years
old when she began the professional ca
reer. She was taken as a protege by
the Tourniaire family, famous all over
Kurope as acrobats and riders, and un
der their tutelage she first began to
ride.
With them she journeyed to England,
and in London first began to ride erect.
Nothing like it had been seen before,
and the city went wild with admiration
at her nerve, daring and grace. This

JILTS A WEALTHY SUITOR
FOR AN OREGON TAR
Though his sweetheart from childhood
and to all intents aiTIanced to him for
20 years, Miss Caroline Guisperg of West
Faims, N. Y., finally threw over Alfred
Albei t Keller and married a sailor from
the Oregon, who asked her hand the day
before.
Keller is accounted the wealthiest man
in West Farms, and Miss Guisperg, of
an old Bavarian family, was its pret
tiest girl. They went to school together
and for years West Farm looked upon
•"the match as settled.
Though Mr. Kelly never wavered no
date was set for the expected marriage.
It was still to be "some time" when he
celebrated his 45th birthday.
Miss Guisperg realized that she was

was in the early forties and a few years
later the family came to tnis country
with June Brothers' circus. Soon aft
er arriving in America the girl became
the wife of Francois Tourniaire, the
head of the familly.
Tourniaire and his wife never returned
to Europe except for engagements. The
London success was reepated in every
city in the United States. Before she
retired Madame Brown was proud to say
that she had played in every town, city,
village, hamlet and crossroads in the
country.
Mr. and Mrs. Tourniaire bought a farm
at Peaback, N. J.. where, thirty years
ago the husband died. Their daughter.
Josephine, became a rider of international
reputation. Madame Tourniaire a few
years later married William C. Brown,
a circus performer, who died two years
ago. They had one daughter, who was
known as Minnie Brown when she too
began to ride.
She was the 'mother of the circus pro
fession" and was the first woman rider
to stand erect on the back of a gallop
ing horse and jump over obstacles. For
fifty years she appeared with every well
known organization in the eastern and
western hemispheres. She amassed a
fortune and retired to a pretty home in
Frankford twenty years ago. where she
died last Friday. She leaves numerous
descendants, all of whom have followed
in her footsteps.
42 years old and her hair was growing
gray.
Charles B. Stivey, chief electrician of
the Oregon, appeared at this point. He
was living with his wife and their child
4 years old in San Francisco when the
war with Spain began. Before ihe
voyage of the Oregon around the Horn
was done he lost his wife and child
through scarlet fever.
Stivey fired the last shot in the battle
of Santiago.
He went to New York to visit his
brother, Hannock Stivey, assistant su
perintendent of the Metropolitan mu
seum, who married Miss Guisperg's sis
ter. Henrietta, ten years ago.
He grew tired of the shore a week ago
and re-enlisted for another three years.

Chicago Phrenologist Sketches
Composite face of the Ameri
can Speculator.
the
.j*
Professor J. M. Fitzgerald, phrenolo
gist of Chicago, has, turned his keen eyes
on the speculators in the Chicago board
of trade, and Artist Coff of the Chicago
American, has drawn a composite face,
representing "The American Specula
tor."
The professor .says:
I went to the board of trade to study
faces there. Such a s,ight is enough to
startle the most calm and cause one to
stare with protruding eyes at the hun
dreds of men screaming, howling, gesti
culating with arms and hands while they
franticallly raise their fingers, one, two,
three, four at a time.
Men with head?; so broad that they al
most look like a globe jvere plentiful.
This shape is caused by the temporal
sphenoidol lobes of the brain being enor
mously developed. In these convolutions
are the centers for the faculties of en
ergy and acquisitiveness, and certainly
on the floor of the board of trade there
are the greatest opportunities for an
almost abnormal activity and display of
those faculties, especially the latter.
The first and most noticeable thing
about those men were their huge heads.
