ROMANTIC MARRIAGE


: Lloyd L. Chamberlain, son of Dr. and
Mrs. G. G. Of Middletown, was married Oh
Wednesday night in the parlors Of the
Waldorf Astoria in New York City to
! Miss Louise King daughter OF Mr. and
Mrs. Frederick king OF the latter place
The marriage Is the sequel of mystery
that has defled the police to unrayel for
the past two weeks. Ga Friday, Sept ii,
she disappeared from the beach at Coney
Island leaving no olew behind her. 1t was
generally supposed that she was drowned.
In making her plans Miss King was cum.
ming and careful. Everything worked
wolI up to the very last moment. Then
she forgot herself, and leaving her maid
at the oceans edge, she sent the girl away
with her keys and pocketbook, but she re-
tained her parasoi. The police could not
understand what reason any one would
have for carrying q parasol into tho surf.
They believed she was not drowned. Had
she given the parasol-to her maid tho
drowning theory would have been accepted
Miss King took from her home none of
the clothes she was known to have. With
money saved from Il very liberal allowance
she purchased enough clothing to I'LL two
large trunks, which she shipped to Phiia-
delphia several days before her disappear
ancs. When she started for Consy Island
that Sunday afternoon she wore IL COM
plete double outfit of outer clothing. When
she stepped from the bathhouse she had
wrappeu about her undOr her bathing
dress an extra skirt and shirt waist, col.
lar, tie and all the necessary articles Of
dress. Within her loose blouse were pair
Of shoes and small hat In her hand she
carried her para oil, purse and keys.
She went to Philadelphia and stopped
ut hotel, registering uAder an assumed
name She expected 0 remain there until
the excitement over her disappearance had
subsidized, and then Ii was her inteution to
board steamer for Europe, where she
would cultivate her voice as long as her
money lasted. The operate stage was her
goal.
Mrs. King chose to believe her daughter
dead, but William Il. King did not. He
loved his sister and knew wDat trials had
been hers. He believed nothing bad of
her, and after consulting the police made
up his mind that she was nliye and that
he would discover her In making tho
search he enlisted the services of W. II.
Corwine, IL family friend, who had known
Louise since she was little girl.
Iu tho meantime MIR Curwine had struck
the right trail, and last Friday he learned
shat the young woman was at tho home OF
she Young Womcns Christian Association
in Philadelphia. After that his course
was an easy one
Miss Kings brother knew of her ntfcc-
tion for Mr.. Chamberlain and lost no time
in bringing them togethor in Philadelphia.
Their return to New York and marriage
At the Waldorf-Astoria followed quickly,
and the parental Blessing gave u happy
climax to the young lady's remarkable
adventure.

although the previous good character of
Sisifo was established he, rs we'll as the

of escaping death In the hands of the law.
The alibl Of Dsluca was first handled
by the State. The prisoner said yesterday
afternoon that ho had whitewasheh the
house of Donate Palese ON the day he Is
alleged to have ravished the child but Mr..
Pa'ese and several Itolian men and women

The Princess Of Wales is an artist
in watercolors whose works are very
interesting, apart from the fact that
she is who she is. A traveller says: 81
saw two of them at the amateur art
exhibition, held in Mr.. Reuben Sas-
soon's house in Belgrave square, Both
looked as if they might have been done
on the coast of Norfolk. They we're
exquisitely fresh in color, bold in
treatment, and yet well finished, and
with none Of the uncertainty that so
often mars the work of an amateur,
l am sure if the Princess of Wales
wanted to earn her living she would
only have to set up studio as a water
color artist. Other great ladies who
could easily make a good income are
Lady CRANKY, who is fond of taking
portraits Of her friends in pencil-and
very delicate and beautiful ones they
are too-and Lady Cottenham, who
does eXQuisitely fine work like ancient
missal painting for the covers of
books"

Proves That Farming in New England Car
he Made to Pay.

The noblest but notable achievement
of Connecticut widow on a farm puts
to shame the complaining farmers who
assert that farming in New England Ia
profitless and who, falling to sell the
farms which they have worn out,
abandon them and enter into the fierc-
er competition for a livelihood in the
cities. Twelve years since this widow
Inherited farm of 165 acres, one COW,
a heller, two horses and a mortgage
of $1,750. She now has herd of cows
and three horses, and has paid 1000
on the mortgage. In other words, Upon
a 165-acre farm the woman seems to
have made living and saved about
$3.50 a year, besides current interest
on the mortgage, and all this has been
accomplished by a woman of so. In
addition, it must be inferred that the
industry and business sense which
achieved this much also improved the
farm, and thus Increased its cash value.
Few women Of so years could do more
In the average occupation. Indeed,
the majority of men do less.
