LONDON, Oct S0-The newspapers Of
this city to-day devote much space to
the latest phase Of the case Of Miss
Lancaster, the young lady Of wealthy
parents who became q socialist, resid.
ing in the working district Of London,
and who was desirous Of living with q
workman named Sullivan, prominent
socialist, although neither of them be.
love In marriage. The two decided to
dispense with any formalitieI aud
started housekeeping together, where
upon the young lady's parents consult
ed a specialist on diseases Of the brain
aud had her confined in an asylum,for
tho insane.
The case attracted much attention. as
Miss Lancaster was an eloquent speaker
on socialism. After Miss Lancaster'a
incarceration in the asylum, Sullivan
for time searched for her without re-
suit, but eventually he obtained knoWl.
edge Of her whereabouts, and after seek.
ing the assistance OF the commissioners
on lunacy, the release Of Miss Lancaster
was secured.
Atthe time tho affair was treated as
joke, and Miss Lancaster who 10 about
twenty.iour years Of age, and fairly
good looking, was called "the woman
who would" John Burns, the socialist
labor leader and ex.member Of parlla-
ment took a leading part in the release
Of Miss Lancaster. Burns had the
pleasure Of escorting Miss Lancaster
from tho asylum to her homo, where
she and her lover had leveo
which was largely attended by en-
thuslastic socialists and others
who hold the same views regarding
matrimuny entertained by Miss Lam
caster and Sullivan. The lovers took
this occasion TO announce to their
friends and admirers that they had not
in any way changed their opinions on
the subject OF marriage and that they
intended to carry out their original pro-
grammo Of living together as man aud
wife without previously going through
any religious or civil ceremony, euch
iormallties being, IN their opinion, USE
less and stupid.
