So great. Indeed, was the Interest aroused In the case at the time, that probably few newspapers in the United States are not In more or less frequent receipt of inquiries as to her present circumstances, and as to what steps the Fall River authorities have since taken toward clearing up the great murder mystery. A series of such Inquiries, coupled with a rumor that this Miss Borden had gone to Europe and Intended opening a select boarding school for young ladles next season, has led a reporter to Fall River, who communicates tbs result of bis visit as follows: uorde'iie ,yi( was not lti . Europe, nor is It true that she intends "opening a select boarding school for young ladies next season." It Is true that she may have plans in view for occupying her time teaching a few private pupils, but there Is no ground for saying that she is going to open a boarding school She Is more likely to found a library or give the town an observatory fitted out with a good telescope of modest dimensions, but strong magnifying powers; or perhaps she may give the County Gaol an adequate reading room, thus enabling the inmates to endure the maddening monotony of prison life. I called on Mias Borden and found her the same quiet and exceedingly modest young lady that she was during the uneventful years preceding the fearful tragedy. She has grown a little stouter In figure, a little more reserved In manner, a little more uncommunicative In her associations with people, and besides she now wears glasses, which lend Just a hint of exclusiveness to her demeanor, but after all she is the same, well-brepleasing appearing young lady who was welcomed all her life by the best families of Fall River. Those thrilling scenes of 82-- 3 are of the past All that remain of the fated Borden family are the two sisters Lizzie Borden, aged 37 years, and Emma L. Borden, 42 years old. They are in, separable companions. Llzzie ls much the younger "tn appearance and manner,' She Is a plump, large statured young woman, with a large head, and fair, full face, with heavy light brown hair, and a well developed almost noble brow. She now lives "on the Hill," in the fashionable part of the city,' overlooking tfe bay and river. The neighborhood was not congenial to Miss Borden, many of whose young friends lived on the Hill high above the dust and roar of trucks and traffic. After the trial Miss Borden, who is said to have inherited the business Instincts of her prudent father, took up her home a mile away to the north where the Imposing architecture of handsome villas crowns the heights of the fashionable, district Finding herself possessed of her fathers fortune of $360,000 that is, she and her stater it was easy to buy a comfortable home amid quiet elegant surroundings. Miss Borden declines to discuss any feature of her life or affairs except with her attorney, banker and bus!- ness agent But those who have been Intimate with herself and family long years speak in this strain: "Since she was tried for her life and acquitted, she has lived .very quietly, and seen very few of her old friends and acquaintances.

Yet with all this wealth, these surrounding! of culture and refinement, the girl must carry a burden calculated to break down the strongest nature. Her acquittal and Innocence do not prevent the cold Indifference of a majority of the town. For a guiltless woman of gentle breeding, a Christian by profession and association, to endure the studied silence, the averted gaze, the steady shrinking away of those who were once friends and had red blood In their veins, requires the nerve of battlefield heroes. It has long been a subject of wonder that Lizzie Borden has remained In Fall River seeking to live down the Inevitable connection of her name with the most terrible crime of the century. When the law declared her innocent, It Is asked, would she not have been more than justified tn shaking the dust of Fall River from her feet forever, and going elsewhere for happiness and a home.? What would any honest, outraged victim feel after vindication but Indignation and contempt for a community that has persistently - and remorsely sought to prove her guilty T And again It Is asked, If she thought It best to remain and Jive down criticism,' hy, in the fun eouetitmenea of her innocence, did she not instant USA BIG FOOT- -WALLACE.! - 'j adventures of every-sometim- es 1wH l4iu " leerbl: ot as re e, i -- i brlc-e-br- t" d, d, cat-foote- d, k. roay-cheeke- d, fair-hair- do step-motb- er. -- b, Sa tu ) y MISS LIZZIE BORDEN. her father to live in more style, but he was a plain man. the Russell Sage of Fall River, who knew the value of a dollar to the hundredth part of n cent, and he did not care to .Indulge In what he called the extravagances of modern life.
