daughter.  She married twice; the first marriage ended in separation, but the second marriage seemed to have been happy, for it lasted twenty years, when the “wife” died.  She associated much with pretty girls, and was very jealous of them.  She seems to have been slight and not very masculine in general build, with a squeaky voice, but her ways, attitude, and habits were all essentially masculine.  She associated with politicians, drank somewhat to excess, though not heavily, swore a great deal, smoked and chewed tobacco, sang ribald songs; could run, dance, and fight like a man, and had divested herself of every trace of feminine daintiness.  She wore clothes that were always rather too large in order to hide her form, baggy trousers, and an overcoat even in summer.  She is said to have died of cancer of the breast. (I quote from an account, which appears to be reliable, contained in the Weekly Scotsman, February 9, 1901.)

Another case, described in the London papers, is that of Catharine Coome, who for forty years successfully personated a man and adopted masculine habits generally.  She married a lady’s maid, with whom she lived for fourteen years.  Having latterly adopted a life of fraud, her case gained publicity as that of the “man-woman.”

In 1901 the death on board ship was recorded of Miss Caroline Hall, of Boston, a water-color painter who had long resided in Milan.  Three years previously she discarded female dress and lived as “husband” to a young Italian lady, also an artist, whom she had already known for seven years.  She called herself “Mr. Hall” and appeared to be a thoroughly normal young man, able to shoot with a rifle and fond of manly sports.  The officers of the ship stated that she smoked and drank heartily, joked with the other male passengers, and was hail-fellow-well-met with everyone.  Death was due to advanced tuberculosis of the lungs, hastened by excessive drinking and smoking.

Ellen Glenn, alias Ellis Glenn, a notorious swindler, who came prominently before the public in Chicago during 1905, was another “man-woman,” of large and masculine type.  She preferred to dress as a man and had many love escapades with women.  “She can fiddle as well as anyone in the State,” said a man who knew her, “can box like a pugilist, and can dance and play cards.”

In Seville, a few years ago, an elderly policeman, who had been in attendance on successive governors of that city for thirty years, was badly injured in a street accident.  He was taken to the hospital and the doctor there discovered that the “policeman” was a woman.  She went by the name of Fernando Mackenzie and during the whole of her long service no suspicion whatever was aroused as to her sex.  She was French by birth, born in Paris in 1836, but her father was English and her mother Spanish.  She assumed her male disguise when she was a girl and served her
