The manner IN which they became ac-

Four years ago Miss DAVIS left her fa-

ory al Syracuse. The Davis and Emory
families were friends IN Washington a.

STAMMERING FOR FUN.
HOW A SUFFERING CARRINEER
MADE HIMSELF POPULAR

Many will remember that during the engage
ment OF the Brigand Company at the Casino, In
this city recently, the Captain OF tho Carbi-
neers made great Init" by initiating stam-
merer. Icals of laughter greeted his queer
grimacos. and when he made II seem neces-
sary to whistle. Jump, and boat himself In
order TO speak, people fairly shouted. Mar
shall L. Wilder can also bring down the
house with suffering story.
This is the funny side OF stammering. But
there are thousands of people who find It no
laughing matter.
This actor and this celebrated humorist can
lay aside the stammerng at will. but there are
those upon whom this popularity Of speech
has grown to be terrible habit, and one which
causes both themselves and others much
misery. Yet their relief is only a matter OF a
few weeks careful attention and proper treat
ment. as we have known in many instances.
During the last ten years The Sun has fro
duently called attention to the Bryant School
for Stammerers at West 14th ST.. whore the
removal OF these defects is made q specially of.
This institution has accomplished wonderful
results. Its methods are scientific and relia-
bic. Its principal Is reformed or cured stam-
merer himself, and probably no one in this
country understands the proper treatment OF
speech troubles better or as we'll as he.-Adr.

A QUEER ELOPEMENT.
A Man Deserts His Bride OF n Month and
Elopes with Her Mother.

HARRISBURG. May 1s.-The story OF very
queer elopement comes from Sullivan county.
at the upper end OF the Loyasock valley.
Pounce Bailey, a lumberman and man 65
years old whose wife died last winter fell in
love few weeks ago with q comely young
German girl who was working as a domestic
for a farmer who lived near Baileys. The girl
had recently arrived in this country spoke but
little English. and was Is years old. Pounce
was so ardent in his wooing that he won tho
girl, and thoy were married last month. The
girls mother, Mrs. katherine Kline was at the
Potter county. She knew nothing Of her
ago. when she was informed of the fact by a
letter from tho ri RI. Mrs Kline at once Jour
neyed to the headwaterS of the Loyalsock to
see about 1t. When she arrived at her son-in-
law house she seemed pleased with Bailey.
and the marriage was approved of by her.
Mrs. Kline Is described as an elderly woman,
very ileshy. and by no means prepossessng in
appearance. For all that she had not been in
her son in-law's house two days before she had
gained his regard to such degree that her
daughter was forced to protest against the con-
duct Of her husband and her mother. They
told the old lady that she must leave the house.
Mis-. Kline did SO on Friday. but she took her
daughters husband with her. or at least he fol-
lowed her soon as he heard that she was
gone. The pair are now together in Potter
county. Mrs. Kline cannot speak any English.
bride is said to have tax en- the affair philpsophi-
cally, and has disposed Of her husbands Ier-
sonal property and gone back to work at the
farmers where Bailey got acquainted with her.
