PUZZLE FINALLY SOLVED.
Mrs. Yerkes Admits Marriage to
Wilson Mizner-Reason of Her
Persistent Denials.

New York, Feb. 3. - All doubt as to
the marriage of Mrs. Charles T. Yerkes,
widow of the traction magnate, to Will
son Miner, the young Californian, was
set at rest Friday by the filing of the GER
tificate of the marriage with the bureau
of vital statistics in the department of
health. In addition one paper quotes
Mrs. Yerkes in confirmation. According
to this paper Mrs. Yerkes said: Cali
I can say is that am happily married. .
In explaining to group Of reporters
Mrs. Yerkes' persistent denials Of their
marriage Mr.. Miner said: Nov, as
a matter of fact, the reason why Mrs.
Yerkes denied being married to me was
that the news came out too soon to suit
her, though it was not through any
fault of my own. She did not expect
that the marriage would be announced
for a good while, and when she woke up
Wednesday morning and found that the
newspapers were full of it she was
pretty angry. She was SO angry that
she denied the whole thing, and after
she once put herself on record, so tn
speak, she did not want to face about.
You see, Mrs. Yerkes rather believes
that it isn't anybody's business but her
own what she does, and perhaps she is
inclined to resent inquiries"

TRADING STAMPS IN CHURCH

Modern Mercantile Plan-schol-
ars Get Premiums.

st. Louis.-rrading stamps have in.
vaded the churches, AMI the st. Louis
pastor who has introduced them
thinks their value will soon be noted
by other ministers. Rev. Luther E.
Todd, of the First NJ. E. church, South
is the originator of the idea, and his
first experience has been so successful
that the plan will be extended to the
entire congregation.
A regular book has been issued to
each child attending Sunday school, A
two-cent stamp is given for attend
ance, one blue five-cent stamp is the
reward for each new scholar brought
to the school, and in addition to these
one-cent stamp is given for every
penny given as an Offering on Sunday.
When the stamps in the book amount
to 81 or more they are turned in to

PUTS KIDNEY UNDER x-RAY
Surgeon Takes Out Organ and Under.
microscope Locates and Re-
moves Tiny Stone.

New York.-An operation with an
unusual feature was performed at
Roosevelt hospital. A patient had been
suffering for some time with stone in
the kidney. The exact location of oh.
structions of this sort is sometimes de-
termtned by the X-rays before the
etherization of the patient.
In this case the surgeon removed the
= kidney from the body as far as possible,
held 1t in his hand, and applied the
Horoscope. He speedily discovered the
almost microscopic stone, to which the
lance opened channel. A moment later
the fOrceps gripped the little stone and
the attending doctors were inspecting
it. The operation was completed in
about seven minutes.
The operation is said to be one of the
first in which an affected organ has been
reached by X-rays after being removed
from the body. The surgeon said he
did not see why the liver. or some other
vital organs, could not be examined in
the same thorough manner.

ments against Linn was made out i'm.
llcdiately after the grand jury re.
ported. and was sent to the sheriff's

That Is What the Husband Fears
After the Ceremony Is Over
May Eus ior u.vcrcc.

Lockport, n. Y.-Was Mrs. Harold
Reeves Miss Carrie OF Miss Louise Mer-
rill before her marriage is the ques-
ton that is worrying Harold Reeves of
OlcOtt Beach. Reeves is investigating,
with a view toward finding just which
one Of the Merrill sisters, as much alike
as two peas in the pod, he took for his
lawful wife on the night OF December 2
In the Merrill homestead at Olcott
Beach. If he establishes to certainty
that Louise was palmed off upon him ior
Carrie he will bring suit for divorce.
Reeves is sure that it was Carrie he
courted all last summer for the reason
that Louise was in Buffalo, but she re-
turned q week before the ceremony to
assist in the wedding preparations.
When the two girls were together in y
room Reeves could not for the life CT
him distinguish Louise from his fiancee
Taking the girls word for it, he was
satisfied that he was taking Carrie for
his life partner when he stood up be-
fore the clergyman with one Of the
twins.
After his marriage he found that Car
rie could not sing with her wonted
sweetness. The more he has thought
about it the more he has become con-
WINGED that he was the victim of a
hoax. Mrs. Reeves insists that she is
Carrie and explains that hubby hears
her warbling through different ears now
that his counting days are over. Reeves
Is going to sift the matter to the bot
tom, however.
