A STRANGE CASE.
Demented Musician Receivers Her
Reason After Hearing Popular
Airs Rendered By Another.

Denver, Sept. 6.-Miss Elizabeth
Damme, the demented musician, who.
prior to her loss of reason, acquired
fame on two continents, is on the
road to recovery in the Arapahoe
county hospital through the chance
visit of a musician, who, in an adj
joining room, rendered several airs
from ''The Bohemian Girl" from
that time dated her recovery, and
Thursday the talented young German
cellist rendered the entire opera on
her favorite instrument. The doc
tors are giving her case close
scrutiny, as they can not understand
why, after years incarceration,
the spark of reason should be re-
kindled in such strange manner.

ILLEGAL MARRIAGES.
Fourteen SOIemnized in English
Churches Found to Be Void
on Trivial Grounds.

It viii come as a disagreeable shock
to any surviving couples who were
married in st. Johns old church,
Sleighs, in 1928, to learn that their
marriages were not legal, says the
London Daily Mail.
Such, however, is the startling fact,
and the remark applies not only to
this church but to 13 others, in allt
of which marriages have taken place,
although they were not licensed for
the purpose.
In order to legalize these unions,
Lord Belper has brought forward a
bill in parliament.
The chapelry of Ugglebarnby, in the
York diocese, possesses three, of these

called the patriarchs of x

A PARLIAMENTARY Anecdote.

Three members of the ministerial
front bench the other day had to rush
across to the lobby of the house Of
commons to catch the division bell
in a manner that was not perhaps
wholly dignifed. But it might have
been worse. Members of the house

WHAT TIE TRAIN CR1ER SAID.
1t Relieved -Four Frightened Parents
and They Went Home
Happy.

There was an excursion on one of
the railroads few days ago to q
town in the center of the state. Two
young women who went on the ex-
cursion missed the return excursion
train to Chicago and stood around
in the deserted depot of the country
town in despair, says the Chicago
Tribune.
"You see," said one young woman,
the depot in Chicago when the train
comes in and they will be frightened
to death when we fail to arrive with
the other excursionists. They will
think, all manner of bad things have
happened to US. But what can de
do?"
EYES," said the other young woman
through her tears, IF our people
were at home this evening we might
telegraph them, but they were all 60
ing downtown to the theater and /
don't know what theater they went
to. After the theater they were 60
ing down to meet us at the train.
They will be simply frightened to
death, and I'm afraid my father will
get on the next train and come right
down here after us. There are 700 or
800 people, on that excursion train
and there will be more than that
number waiting for them at the
depot, besides the crowds going out
on the other trains, so it won't do

sage to the depot. They would never
get it,"
II know what to do,'' suddenly ex-
claimed the other young woman, as
her face shone with the Iii ht of a
brilliant inspiration.
"What?" gasped her companion.
eve will send message to the
train caller at the depot in Chicago
and ask him to announce when the
excursion train pulls in that we
missed the train but are safe with
friends here and will return on the
first train tomorrow morning."
20, that's just the thing" exclaimed
the other maiden, and they hastily
fixed up a telegram and sent it adj
dressed to the train caller at the sta
ton.
So when the excursion train pulled
into the Chicago depot that night the
excursionists and the friends watt
ing for them were surprised to see
| the train caller Chamber up on a
bench, and in his most stentorian
tones gravely announce:
Limited train for St. Louis on
third track. Cannonball for Toledo,
Cleveland, Philadelphia and the east
on first track. Miss Lillian Belleville
and Miss Eugenia Thompkins missed
the excursion train at Bloomfield and
will spend the night with their rela-
tives there, Mr.. and Mrs. John Adams
and Mr.. and Mrs. Phil Allen. The
! young women are safe and happy and
will return on the first train to-mor-
row morning. Passengers for Madi-
son, St. Paul, Minneapolis and the
northwest this way"
And four frightened parents
breathed easy again and went home
happy.
