A MUCH SURPRISED DOCTOR.


When, Although Unmarried, He Re-
ceived Bills Contracted by "Hfs Wife. .
A weIl-known physician of this city
a most exemplary man and bachelor
was much surprised few days age
to receive a bill from a butcher whose
place of business is on Grand avenue.
The doctor racked his brain but could
not recollect of ever having made any
purchase at the shop for which the bill
was sent, and SO he called upon the
butcher for explanation. The butcher
received him smiling, and as the physi-
clan pulled the bill from his pocket the
man of meats said sorry to have
troubled you. sir. but your wife said,
''Send the bill"
The young physician stared in frank
amazement at the butcher, wondering
If the man was daft. Finally pulling
himself together, he told the butcher
that he was not married, hadn't been
and didn't want to be, that he hadn't
bought any meat and didn't know what
1t all meant, and wasn't going to pay
the bill.
The physician then went home and
had been there but a short time when
he received a bill for a pair of ladys
shoes and a pair of rubbers, the whole
bill amounting to $2.75. The bill was
soon followed by another for rent of
room. The doctor had not contracted
either bill and didn't know what they
meant. He went to the sender of each
bill and was told in each instance that
his wife had contracted them and or

Inclination appears to be that she is
the wife of the physician in whose
rame she has been purchasing goods
among her peculiar actions since she
has been under this belief was one
which occurred about a. week ago. She
went to house at the corner of Frank
lin street and Grand avenue and rented
a room. She stayed there three days
and then left telling the landlady to
send the bill for rent to the doctor
whose name she gave.
The case will come up in the city
court to-day, but it is probable that
instead of being penalty dealt with, she
will be sent to Springside or some other
institution where she can be properly
cared for, She was kept at the Or

as a conference certain recommendations.
and they being accepted. Committee OF
Nine resulted. 1t is made up as follows:
airy Society: Charles A. Hull. the Ameri-
can Missionary; A. Z. Dunning, editor
of the "Conaregationalist." the SUNDAY
School Society: r; T: Hall, the Bullaing
Society, and s. B. Capen, the American
Board These six named three Inore.vlz;:
DR. l.. G. Warner. New York; w Il.
Strong. Detroit, and II. II. Proctor, Bos-
ton This committee had one meeting re-
Gently, and made report, which mas
not yet been published 1t decided to Sc
lect no chairman, but to let each serve
in turn.
It represents the six boards, and APP
pears to be in conflict with the Committee
of Fifteen. which represents the churches.
