STRANGE CASE OF DEMENTiA.
A Little Girl Who Thinks She Ii an Old
Woman.

49,.
Woman.
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, July Clone OF
the most peculiar cases OF nervous
dencntia ever brought to the attention
Of local physicians is that of Lillian
Miller, an II year old girl, who seems
possessed of a dual being. The case
has ba flied the skill Of all tho medical
scientists who have seen the child. and
no one has yet been able to diagnose
the case.
Lillian is the daughter Of w. +. Mil.
Ter, IA carriage maker, who resides in q
neat frame cottage at GIT Oak street.
A year ago the child was taken with
sudden nervous fainting spells. Prior
TO that time she was as healthy as any
other child. She was treated for ner-
vousness, and for a time seemed to i'm
prove. Eleven weeks ago she was
taken with u sudden CONFUSION and has
since been confined TO her bed. After
the convulsion had passed off the girls
mind seemed to wander into hypnotic
state and assume another being. Her
appearance was hat Of "A rational
child, but her words and actions were
those OF an aged woman She talked of
things she had never spoken of before.
Her mind seemed to wander back into
a past, which a child Of IL year could
have known nothing OF. She repeated
lengthy passages of scripture and
poetic quotations beyond the compre.
hension of a child. She did not seem
to recognize her parents and those
about her, but called them by other
names. She said: II am getting old,
children. SO old, old. / was 90 yes
terday; that's a long, long life" Then
she would give advice to those about
her, using the language Of a aye
In a few hours the dementia seemed Ia
wear Off and she resumed her nornaeg
being. She knew nothing of what she
had said or done, and said she had been
sleeping, but had no dreams. She
talked nationally AS n child and recog-
nized her friends, but suffered great
pain. In n few hours the other being
asserted itself, and the same vsgaries
became apparent.
The startling feature of this case is
the wonderful growth and development
of the child's body. While the mind
has developed during the hypnotic Pc
RODS, the body has not been asleep,
and today the child is as large as the
average woman. No two physicians
have diagnosed the malady In the same
terms, and all agree that It is without
Il precedent. The child's parents are
ANXIOUS TO bring the case to the attcn-
ton OF the scientific world.

DENMARK GETS SATISFACTION
German Ofacial Is Dismissed for ExpeI-

German Oficial Is Dismissed for ExpcI-
ling the Danish Actors.
COPENHAGEN, July 2l.-The Danish
government has obtained satisfaction
for the expulsion from Schleswig. Ger
many, of the eight Danish players be-
longing to the Royal theater OF Coper-
hagen. These players were arrested at
iiadersleben, Schleswig, early in June,
under instructions from tho burgo-
master of that place, who claimed that
there was a prohibition against the use
of the Danish language in Schleswig.
The actors and actresses were then or
hered to leave Schleswig and went TO
Ribe, across the frontier. in Denmark,
where they received an ovation when
the facts OF their expulsion became
known. The DANISH government
called the attention of the German gov
ernment to this action on the part OF
the burg0master of Hadersleben and,
after the matter had been inquired
into, the official mentioned was dis
missed in disgrace. 1t appears that
there had been a prohibition against
the use of the Danish language in
Sc~hleswig, but the other had been with
drawn and the burgomaster should
have been aware Of the fact.
