The Midnight Marriage.
MRS. PAGES LAWYER THINKS SHE CAN
PROVE HER CLAIM.

PROVE HER CLAIM.
The New York papers of Friday de-
vote considerable space to a report of
the Hudson-Page matter, from which
the following is condensed:
There was a hearing in Brooklyn,
Thursday, before Surrogate Abbott in
the contest of Emma Hudson for a share
in the $500 estate of the late James
w. Page. Her contention is that she
was married secretly to Page at l o'clock
one morning by justice of the peace in
Vermont.
Ex'Surrogate Ransom, acting in the
woman's behalf, applied to Surrogate
Abbott for an open commission to take
testimony in the State of Vermont. His
client, he said, had married Page in Rut-
land. He felt confident that in due time
he would be able to establish the mar
riage. He had the name of the man who
drove Miss Hudson and Page from the
railroad station to the house where the
ceremony was performed. Mrs. Page
had received a letter from a man in Ben
nington, who seemed to have facts which
would establish the marriage, but they
suspected the good faith of the man and
rather believed he was trying to make a
deal with the other side. He was not
ready as yet to give the name of this
man. Many reputable persons in Yer
mont had come to Mrs. Pages assist
aHce and were ready and willing to testi-
fly to what they knew of the matter. Mr..
Ransom said further that he believed the
people on the other side of the case were
ready to accord Mrs. Page her rights as
a widow.
Mr.. Ransom said he was perfectly will
ing to give the names of the witnesses
within two weeks, and it was then agreed
that Colonel Dickinson, the court, stem.
ographer, should be the commissioners.
The claimant took the stand and relaU-
ed briefly the story of her alleged mar
riage. The further hearing was then adj
Journed until the return of the commits
sioner from Vermont.
The statement referring to the Ben
nington man is probably a mistake, as in
letter to Deputy Sheriff Nash, Mrs.
Page says that she had information from
a man in White River Junction that he
had important testimony, but that she
was afraid to trust him as she and her
counsel thought he was working in the
interest of the contestants. Col. Dickin-
son, the commissioner, is a Vermonter
and is to see the White River Junction
man, while spending his vacation in the
State this month.

The Young Mems Christian associa-

second floor of the Bates House and will
occupy it as soon as necessary changes
can be made. This will probably be in
September. The lease is the result of a
movement that has been on foot for
more than year to provide a larger
and more suitable place in which to
carry on association work, and one
where the gymnasium could be had.

The Electric Road,

Last Saturday evening, at about $50, a
car of the Bennington and WoOdford
Electric Railway Co., having aboard the
officials of the company and a number of
their friends, made the first trip over the
road to the Casino. Everything worked
satisfactorily.
Active business was begun the next
day, Sunday. The cars began operations
at 9:3O and made regular trips during the
remainder of the day, being crowded to
the utmost each trip. The conductors
returns show that fully 200 people were
carried over the road on that day. Sew
eral hundreds who were awaiting an OPP
portunity to ride were turned away dis
appointed. At least 800 were waited
upon at the casino.
Monday the cars were we'll patrOnized,
and several picnic parties from the vii
lage were at the Casino. Good mnsic is
furnished from piano, flute and a vio-
lin. The arrangements for meals, dane
ing, ETC., are excellent and the grounds
are in good condition. The running of
the road is under the supervision of
Postmaster Robinson, who has had the
entire supervision over the work of
getting the road in running order. The
conductors on the cars are Ernest Whit
man of this village, and George Wood
ward of Saratoga Springs. The motor
men are George Woodward of this vii
lage and Joseph Kennah, Albany, N. Y.

some of the time of the customary sum

One of the most remarkable must
clans in the world is DR.. David D. Wood,
the organist of st. Stephens Church
Philadelphia. He is totally blind. When
he desires to learn piece of music he
seats himself at the piano or organ says
The Philadelphia Record" and Miss
Burdette, his private secretary, stands
near him with the music in her hand.
She describes to him the music by tell
ing him the key and giving him the time
and movement. Then she reads the
notes for several bars, which are intend
ed for the right-hand movement. The
reading is done as fast as the lips can
move. Then as she starts to read that
part of the music intended for the left
hand, DR.. Wood plays what she has al
ready read for the right hand and follows
her words with the left hand, thus max
ing the exercise complete. When the
entire piece is gone over in this manner
but once, so wonderful is the memory of
Dr. Wood that he can play the piece
through without assistance, and will al
ways retain it in his memory. So per-
fectly is DR.. Wood schooled in musical
form, which is higher branch of music
only acquired after years of study, that
he can often anticipate Miss Burdette in
the reading of piece of music that he
never heard,before.
