with what purports to be a confirmation
OF the report by Miss Fellows herself in an
interview. The members of Miss Eel.

possibly be true. Since the first pub
lication OF the story the father of Miss
Fellows has been endeavoring to com.

OF the distance OF the school from the tele.

a canard. He had reason to believe that
his daughter was preparing to be mar.

written home regularly and letters had
been received from her since the present
publication, but they contained nothing at
all on the subject. Rev. Sunderland OF
