A VILLAGE DIVIDED
Over the Identity Of the Girl With
The Golden Hair.
frederick, Delaware, Profoundly Stirred By
M0mentOus QUESTION

Philadelphia, Feb. lG.-Fredericka,
Delaware is hopelessly divided over
one OF those burning questions which
profoundly stir the even tenor OF llie
In a country village. Is or is not The
lLrl with the Auburn Hair" the mys-
terry Of whose identity Is only of sec
ond importance 10 the sweet tones OF
her voice, the same Theresa Allen. who.
l5 years ago. sang in 1he church choir
in Frederlcka and meited al hearts
with her rendition VI "rhe Holy City!'
\ Frederlcka man came 10 town TO
see the sights week ago, and his host
led him 10 the theatre where The Girl
with ghe Auburn Hair" was singing.
As her voice fell upon his ears in the
dark scene IN which the mysterious
singer first is introduced 10 her audi
ence. he was stirred Dy memories OF
the past, ana he seemed 10 see once
more girMsh form standing IN the
ChurCh choir at Fredericka, all heads
bent forward. az her voice rang
through the little frame building.
Theresa Alien" he whispered; and
that same night all Frederlcka was
talking OF the appearance OF little Tes-
OF Fredericka took hold Of the story
eagerly and two nights later a theatre
party jOurneyed up from Fredencka
10 convince themselves that the news
was true. Upon their return ~ g.
WAS sent abroad which resulted In di-
Vidiug the village into two hostile
camps. OF the party who came 20 gee,
half agreed nat '"tne Girl with the
Auburn Hair" was indeed Theresa Al
len. The other half said: "Shucks! No
such thing. IL looks something like
Tessie Allen. but lots OF girls have red
hair. Besides IL ISN'T Tessie's voice"
Then another expedition was organ
lied In Fredericka and Il came and
went With the same result. .She GER
taanly looked like Theresa Allen: the
voice was the same said some. Moth
Ing at All like her said tho others Still
another expedition. and The same re-
suit.
And so the mystery remains un-
solved. while the breach i'm Frederick
widens. Unless the Girl with the Au-
burn Hair soon declares herself the
consequences I'm Frodericka Will be
severe.

this advantage. The sub-treasury
alone has taken up from the banks dur

poslts at tho sub-treasury for tele-
graphic transfer to tho interior. The
direct movement by express, although
supposed to be small on balance, Is
certainly In favor OF the interior. There
Is a suspicion also that the local move
ments OF cash which have helped out
tho showing of the banks for the last

large extent to the operations Of a sim

Ing stocks. The course OF Amalgamated
Copper during the Geek has given rise
to the apprehension that interests iden-
titled with 1t need not be expected to
have taken measures to CONSERVE the
general money market situation. The
loan Item also is the subject Of much
perpleXed surmise. While there has
been some speculative liquidation in the
stock market. there has been some
large borrowing for outside financial
operations, including subscriptions to
sl000o,000 issue to Third Avenue rail-
road bonds which also closed to-day
with the announcement that 1t had been
largely over-subscribed. II there has
