WAS MARRIED SIXTEEN YEARS
 AND DIDN'T KNOW IT.
Norristown. Pa. correspondent of the phua adalDbfa AdOar

Norristown, Pa, correspondent of the
 Philadelphia Ledger.
 For sixteen years Charlotte J. Smith of this town has been wife, but she was ignorant of the fact that she had a husband, and to-day her romance became known.
 The peculiar position she occupied, un- knowingly and unsuspected, perhaps, has no parallel in fact or fiction. But in every detail its absolute truth has been admitted, and tonight Miss Smith looks upon D. Nelson Long, a son of David Long, of Upper Merton, as her lawful husband. In a few weeks she expects to join him on a farm he has just pur- chased in Virginia.
 Even admitting the marriage, Miss Smith, or better. Mrs. Long, said to-day she could not recall 1t and that doubt was still a shadow that at times descend cd upon her. During these sixteen years Mrs Long has always been known aa Miss Smith. She has had many admirers but she never married. This morning heT strange romance had a prosaie ending in the form of this advertisement, that ap. peared in a local paper: iONG-SbfITH.- 1l, 1888 D

 Sixteen years ago she, was a pupil in the Norristown High school. where she had scores of boy and gIrl friends. Long, a few years her senior. was looked upon as her boy sweetheart. and the two were always together at picnics and other so. cial gatherings.
 They were great chnms and often spoke of love and the future. On St. Val. entines day. February fl. 1888, Dan Gu. pid, that heart-breaEing little god oi love. shot his Anal dart into Long heart. After school the two young sweethearts took a stroll by themselves and Long made ardent love to Miss Smith. Finally he asked her to marry him
 The answer was a disappointment, for Miss Smith said no. Still they strolled, Long pleading Miss Smith remaining firm in her answer. Then. according to the story told by Long. they met Rev. George D. Cummings, e former pastor of the Oak Street Methodist Episcopal Church, at the DeKalb street station of the Philadelphia and Reading Railway. At Longs solicitation the clergyman mar ried them, but 1t is this ceremony that Miss Smith says she does not remem- her.
 A few days later the Long family moved to newly purchased ranch in Nebraska, and young Long passed com pieteiy 6ut of Miss Smiths life. Not un- til . short time ago did Miss Smith ever hear of this ceremony.
 Mrs. Smith yesterday consented to tell what she kaew Of her strange romance brought to nent by the publication of the notice of the marriage. She said:
