LIVING A SECOND LIFE.

Mary yennum Takes Up a Life Where An
other Laid 1t Down.
ABILENE, KAN, July 4-The strange
case Of a Northwestern Kansas girl is at
tractihg much attention. Her life will be
studied at the summer meeting of the
English Psychical Society. She is Mary
Vennum, a resident of Rawlins county, and
it is believed she has lived two lives.
The Vennum family lived near family
named Kof. The latter had daughter
about the age of Mary, who died of epilepsy.
Mary Vennum was also subject to this
disease.
While she was suffering from an attack
the Koffs called on her and were startled to
see how closely she resembled their daugh-
ter. After many hours of suffering Mary
came out of her fit, and, although she was
not changed in feature, she seemed entirely
changed in mind.
To all intents and purposes she became
Mary Koff Where the htter's life was
broken off she took it up, and she was al
lowed to go and live with the Kofs, her
family hoping it would cure her. She was
perfectly content in her new home, and
from the moment she stepped inside the
door seemed familiar with the household
Though she had never visited the house be-
fore she seemed to recognize the belongings
of the dead girl as her own. On one occa-
sion she ran through the house saying:
''Mother, where is my pink cape?"
"What do you mean2" asked Mrs Koff,
and then she remembered that her daughter
had had pink calico cape, which she wore
before she died. Again she inquired:
'fWhere is Gyp? 1 want to see him L
am afraid he has not been properly cared
for"
Gyp had been the favorite dog of Mary
Kof, and had been dead for six years. His
name had never been mentioned before
Mary Vennum, and Mrs. Kotf does not re-
member having ever spoken of him since
their acquaintance with the Vennums.

NEW YORK, July Mrs. Agnes North,
a young and pretty widow, the daughter of
Francis j. Oakes, wealthy resident of the
Steinway section of Long Island City, was
to have been married Tuesday afternoon to
Samuel Bell. The BRIDE was ready
at the appointed hour and the
minister was waiting, but the
bridegroom failed to appear. A messenger
was sent to his residence, but he was not at
home. The minister and assembled guests
began to get anxious and the unfortunate
Young woman's family had about decided to
inform the guests of Mr. Bells failure to
be on hand, when the missing bridegroom
entered.
The person he met first was Mr. Oakes,
who at once saw he was in no condition to
act as principal at wedding. Mr.. Oakes
frowned with indignation and ordered the
young man from the house. Bell started
in to argue the matter with his intended
father-in-law. The discussion was becoming
heated and the guests, who had crowded into
the hallway, were fearful that Mr.. Oakes
would throw tho young man out, when there
was rustic of skirts on the stairs and Mrs
North appeared. Without a moments hesi-
tation she pointed gloved hand toward the
front door Leave the house." she COM
manded, sand never let me see you again"
Without demurring, Bell followed her in
structions. As the door closed upon the
form of her intended husband the Young
woman swooned and had to be carried to her

this he was. assisted by the dereliction of O
Justice of the Peace, and feeling runs high
in the village against him. Wright Eckert
is farmer, living on the outskirts of the
town. He was charged with criminal as
sault and admitted his guilt. Eckert was
arraigned, when the Justice despite the evil
dence and the prisoners confession, allowed
him to go, as ''he needed day to decide"
Eckert at once left town.
The news of the result of the case spread
rapidly among the indignant residents of
the village, and number of them organized
into a vigilance committee. One barrel of
tar and two bags of feathers were procured,
besides good strong rope and a convenient
post in the center of the village which was
selected in case it was needed. The party
then started for Eckert's house, which is
within a short distance of the railroad sta
tion. They broke in the door. Mrs. Eek
ert begged that they would spare her
and her children. She denied that her
husband was in the house 1t is said that
Eckert is in Bridgeport. Some went so far
to-day as to assert that the action of the
Justice was due to the fact that Eckert owed
him bill of $40, and that he was afraid to
lock the prisoner up for fear he would not
get his money. Lawyer Adams not only
acted as counsel for the town, but also for

A CURIOUS TRADITION.
The Name of Lyon Stricken From the Dec
laration of Independence.

The Name of Lyon Stricken From the Dec
laration of Independence.
BALL GROUND, GA, July 4.-There is a
curious tradition in the Lyon family, of
this place. Captain P. II. Lyon says that
the first of the family to come to this coun-
try were four brothers, one of whom was
his great-grandfather They settled in Vir-
ginia and North Carolina. When the strug-
gle with Great Britain for liberty came at
last one of them became very prom
inent and was honored by his fellow citizens
sending him as delegate to the ContiRen-
tai Congress.
While in Congress the independence of
this country was declared and the Declara-
tion of Independence was signed, he being
one of the signers. 1t seems that he was an
enthusiastic rebel in his hatred toward the
mother country, and very anxious that that
power be crushed at once.
About the end of the disastrous campaign
of 1776 he became SO exasperated at what
he termed Washington's vacillating policy
and weak methods of dealing with the
enemy that he made a very bitter attack in
Congress on the Commander in Chief In a
few DAYS came the brilliant victories at
Trenton and Princeton.
This success of our arms put Delegate
Lyon in a,bad box Washington's friends,
smarting under the scoring they had re-
ceived, determined on revenge. The test of
loyalty to the colonial cause was, care you
loyal to Washington" and, of course, as he
was not, he was in for it. A motion was
made to expel him from the congress, and
after a strong debate was carried.
Not only was he expelled, but his name
was erased from the Declaration of Inde-
pendence. Curious, was it not?
And, if true, still more curious that his
tory does not mention the incident

Comparative Loss Of $4,000, 900 in the

WASHINGTON, July 4.-The form of the
debt statement has been changed so often,
and this newest form adopted by Secretary
Foster is SO puzzling, that Uncle Sam would
need to be an expert accountant to get any
thing like clear idea of the appalling
rapidity with which he is running behind
in his financial position. Fortunately, how
ever, a very fair idea of the current de-
terioration can be obtained by an analysis
Of the national receipts and expenditures of
last month in comparison with those for
June, 1890.
With reduction of Sc, ,915, ,042 in revenue
and an increase of SIS, 1856, ,72o in expendi-
lures, the month shows deterioration of
$24, ,6O1, 1852. In June, 1890, the revenue ex-
ceeded the expenditures by no less sum
than $22, ,905, ,508. Last month the expendi-
lures exceeded tbs revenue by 81 ,996, ,253.

books included, Adventures of Major
O'Reagan," claw Miscellanies, and
almost countless contributions to magazines
and newspapers Of a century ago. His most
valuable contribution, however, to history
was the volume Incidents of the Whisky
Insurrection," published in 1876. But in
1852 Judge II. NJ. Breckenridge published
the best work on that bitter episode in our
local history which we have at the present
day. 1t was a most complete history of the
insurrection written up impartially, and
many of the more rabid statements and
structures were stricken out of the first

Historic and Narrative Work.
The second Judge Breckenridge also
wrote history of the War of 1912, which
is one of the most reliable records extant.
He was secretary of the Government COM
mission which made a voyage of explora-
tion to South America on the frigate Con-
gress, and in 1922 his interesting narrative
Of this voyage was published by an English
house, and was extensively read in
America.

the epitaphs beneath them are of the same
classic character which made the literary
works of two members of this family as en-
during as the marble that marks their last
resting places.
Upon one of the tombstones is this in
scription: 'Henry Marie Breckenridge

10 months. A man of honor, truth and
merit. A friend to those in adversely"
Buried beside the Judge is his wife Caro-
line, who passed away in 1852. At the very
foot of her grave is another mound of earth
marked by tombstone of exactly the same
size, the inscription carved In the marble in
identically the same style of lettering as
the Judges and his wife's. 1t reads as
follows:
Tomb of Faithful Servant.

parted this life March 10, 1859, aged about
rs years.-'Then Peter opened his mouth
and said, Of a truth perceive that God is

she often remarked that when she died she
wanted to be buried at the feet Of her old

there she rests to-day.
Not only did Judge Breckenridge outlive
his wife nearly 20 years, but he buried bis

The work strikes one as being immature;
the composer gives promise of much greater
and more musical music 1t is-to the
musician-well, worth hearing, but the

Cornelius.
Mascagni deserves no end of praise and
encouragement for his invention and his
orchestral construction but there is nothing
that one can take away and enjoy after

lost much; it deals essentially with our
emotions, and emotions for the moment are
not nearly so wholesome and nourishing as
emotions that bear thought, that improve
