GIRLS STRANGE STORIES.
Madeline Clarke Proving Puzzle to
New York Doctors.

A 19-year-old girl, who has been IN
the city since Saturday, so far as Is
known and has said that she Is Made
line Church and Madeline Clarke. has
proved puzzle to the police, the char
liable organization authorities who
have charge Of her, and the Bellevue
hospital physicians who put her in the
insane pavilion yesterday.
The young woman first told the Belle
vue physicians that her parents had
been dead year, and she lived with
an aunt on Franklin street, Scranton,
Penn. The aunt died four months ago
she said. About q week after that she
said her mind became a blank, and she
wandered out, recovering the next day
and returning home. She said that on
Friday, while walking in Franklin
street, Scranton, she lost all recollec-
ton about who she was or where she
was, and she found herself next day in
New York.
An hour after the young woman told
that story she fell into state Of coma,
in which she remained about ten min
utes. Then, on awakening, she was
questioned further about the story. and
she astonished the doctors by absolute
ly denying she had ever told them any
such tale.
DR.. Gregory, the insane pavilion ex-
pert, and the other doctors, could not
fathom these vagaries. The woman is
in good health, ana talks nationally
when she tells a. story. Saturday
morning she called herself Madeline
Clarke. but soon declared her name to
be Madeline Church. A young man
from Scranton called at the hospital,
saying he knew of Il Madeline Clarke
in that city, but he did not know this
girl, and she did not know him.
The patient became hysterical last
night from no apparent reason. No
word has been received from Scranton
authorities about the woman. She
will be kept for several days, and
later may be sent to BIackwells island.

HOW TO DRINK MILK.
why It Disagrees with Some People.

When one needs reviving stimu-
liant after exhaustion nothing can rival
the effects OF hot milk slipped slowly.
Some people say they cannot digest
milk and these are the people who
drink it down quickly, so that the di-
gestive acids, in playing around 1t. form
large curds which give trouble before
they can be absorbed.
The right way Is to sip the milk In
small amounts, so that each mouthful,
as IL descends into the stomach. Is sur
rounded by the gastric fluid and when
the whole glassful is down the effect Is
that of a spongy mass Of curds, In and
out Of which the keen gastric juices
course, speedily doing their work of
turning the curd into peptones that the
tissues can take up.
To make sure Of complete digestion
take one or two Of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets afterwards, as the pepsin and
diastase they contain increase the
quantity and efficiency Of the gastric
juices and supply the natural digestive
fermcnts which all weak stomachs
lack.
Miss Anna Folger, n professional
nurse. speaking of the value of Stuart's
Tablets in convalescence says: 'In
adult patients recovering from severe
illness and especially in children where
milk disagrees, one or two tablets
overcome any difficulty and seem to
strengthen the stomach in q remark
ably short time. I myself have used
them daily for years, when my own
digestion has suffered from the irregu-
larities and loss Of sleep consequent
upon my occupation.
Not only children and invalids but
professional people and others whose
meals are necessarily hurried or irregu-
lar will find Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
Of the greatest value in keeping UP
the tone and digestive vigor of the
stomach"
They contain the active digestive fer
ments the lack of which is really the
only cause of indigestion and stomach
troubles, and the regular daily use of
them after meals will probably cure
any case of stomach trouble, except
such as arises from cancer or ulcera-
tion.
Many druggists have said that they
sell more Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
than all other stomach remedies COM

byterian church, under the direction of
Thomas Gippel. The participants were
Miss Dorothy Johnstone, harpist; Miss
Edna Caryl, violinist; Mrs. Edith
Heckel, soprano; Thomas Gippel, tenor,
and Charles Doersam, pianist.
A good-sized audience enjoyed the
concert. The opening number was a
tenor solo, "a Song Of Thanksgiving"
by Mr.. Gippel, which was a pleasing
number. Misses Johnstone and Caryl
followed, with harp and violin duet,
by Gounod, which served to display the
talents Of these clever artists.
Mrs. Heckels opening number was
an aria from "Freischutz," by Won
Weber, and the rendition was given
with the characteristic dash and sweet
ness of this well-known soloist. Miss
Johnstone played sonata, and for an
encore gave "Nen of Harlech." Her
playing was a treat.
Mr.. Gippel and Mrs. Heckel sang a
duet, "Confession," in captivating
manner, and Miss Johnstone followed
with fantasia and received another
encore. Miss Caryl played two num-
bers, Romance Sans Paroles" and
'Koboldtanz," which served to show
her ability to the best advantage.
Mr.. Gippel sang "Loch Lomond" and
'"The Rosary" with harp accompani-
nent. which were much enjoyed, and
Mrs. Heckel's superb voice was then
heard in a summer song. The closing
number, "Angels Serenade." by Mr..
Gippel, with harp, violin and piano ac-
compartment. was one of the best NUM-
bers of the evening. Mr.. Doersam's

cess Of the concert.

Charge Of Larceny.

James Butler, of West Linden street
was yesterday arrested at the instance
of John Smith, Of Franklin avenue, on
a charge of larceny.
Evidence was adduced at the hearing
before Magistrate Millar to show that
Butler caused the arrest Of Smith some

Smith was fined by an alderman and
was committed to Jail in default Of a
fine imposed
Smith, it seemed, rented a part of a

out his wife and children and sold the
household effects. 1t was for the lar
ceny of these household goods that he
was arrested. He was held under $500
bail for his appearance in court.
