known. On Tuesday morning Dr.. A. Cor.
nog a dentist who has an office in Phila
delphia, but practices here during the
summer, was visited by fine
looking woman who seemed to
be about 20 years of age. She was evident
ly very much agitated, and with voice
with emotion requested the
dentist to extract her teeth. This extraor-
binary request, together with the mental
condition of the young lady, rather start
led Dr. Cornog. A little colored girl ac-
the young lady and seemed to
act as comforter. The doctor asked the
young lady what her name was and she
replied Bella Harding, and she said
she resided at Acme cottage on Kentucky
avenue few doors above the board walk.
Eleven Teeth Gone.
When the young lady was seated in the
chair the dentist found that eleven of her
front teeth had been extracted. He became
curious at the strange circumstance OF the
case and inquired who extracted her teeth
and why she wanted any more drawn.
She became greatly agitated when close
ly questioned, and told the Mortified
dentist that her father was punish
ing her for receiving young man at the
house whom he did not like. Miss Her
ring told DIR. Cornog that one evening
gentleman called to see her, and her father
bade him leave the premises, and after he
had gone told her that as punishment for
his visits she must either go to a
convent or else have her teeth extracted.
She had chosen to lose her teeth rather
than go to q convent.
The HOrrified Dentist
refused to have anything to do with the
case, and the young lady departed. DR..
Cornog related the above facts to "a report.
er, and the latter set out to find the young
man who had been summarily elected from
the Acme cottage. Without much trouble
the young man was found in the person of
Mr.. George Wolf, who keeps a store on the
board walk along the beach. Mr.. Wolf
stated that he called upon the young lady
in question on Saturday evening, June 9,
and after he had been introduced to Mrs.
Herring the step.mother OF Miss Belle, he
sat down on the porch which surrounds
the cottage to spend the evening.

He had only been seated short time
when the father of the young girl made
his appearance and ordered her in the
house, and at the same time made remark
offensive to Mr.. Wolf, who Immediately
retaliated. A few sharp words were ex-
changed and the young man left the porch
with injunctions more forCible than ele.
