 ARE PUZZLED Young Girl Suddenly Re gains Consciousness. FAMILY NOT RECOGNIZED Her Mind is a Blank Regarding
 Past Incidents. An Attempts Of Members or Ths Family To Get The Girl To
 Talk Have Proven
 Futile.

Pittsburg, Pa, August 1,--Miss Clara Konter. eighteen years old, of Shouse- town. near here, who strangely disap- peared from her home late Monday aft ernoon and was not seen again until Wednesday morning when her mother found her unconscious in bed at her home suddenly revived shortly before noon today,
 The young woman has failed to re- cognize members of her family and apparently her mind Is a blank re- garding past incidents.
 When she regained consciousness. she arose from her bed and dressed herself. She was prevented from leav- ing the house. which she seemed to want to do. and later settled herself in rocking chair reading the Bible and several other religious books. All attempts of members of the family to get the girl to talk are futile.
 This afternoon she is still sitting in the rocking chair reading, having even refused to remove her hat. The physi~ clans who have been attending the girl were immediately summoned but owing to the isolated location of the country. are not expected to reach the place for several hours. To all ap- pearanee the young woman is in the best of health.
 Mir. Susan wIrth. 6 neighbor. who has been attending the girl was att tracted to the room ahortly before noon by Miss Konter moving about the apartment. When she entered. she found the girl dressed and standing before e mirror. putting her hat on. She noted Mrs Wirths presence by requesting a glass of water ard when 1t was handed to her she asked:
 Are you sure this is not beer2%
 Before an answer could be given, the girl drank the water and then started to leave the room. Her pro- gress was barred, however by her father.
 Let me pass, mister" he said to her father, withou having recognized him. On his failure to let her pass through the door. Miss Konter made her way to a window. Here she found Mrs. wirth. Undecided for a moment as to what to do, the girl finally seated herself in a rocking chair. Picking up her Catechism. a Bible and several re- ligious books from nearby stand. she started to read.
 She has asked what time 1t was and volunteered the information that she was going to Pittsburg. but has re- fused absolutely to answer any queR- tions. Her actionE since recovering her senses has added greatly to the already complicated case.
 Miss Konter left her home late MOn- day afternoon for the purpose of mak- ing a few purchases either at Shouse- town or Pittsbnrg. When she failed to return Monday night. her family be- came alarmed and began a search for her. Neighbors took up the search without success. Early Wednesday morning the distracted mother of the girl found her lying across the bed of her room.
 It Is the opinion of the doctors that some powerful drug. the nature of which Is not known at present, was administered to the girl

 New York. Aug 1.-Six thousand people who gathered at BriRhton Beach race track this afternoon to witness the first public flight of Henri Farman's heavier than air flying ma chine. were disappointed as a high wind prevented the flight.
 Tt would be suicide to attempt to fly with a gale such as this blowing. said Mir. Farman, who appeared to be more disappointed than any one else. The flight had been planned for 4;30 o'clock, but at that hour the wind was blowing from 80 to 70 miles an hour. As time dragged by. the crowd be- mechanics take the aeroplane from it's shed and wheel t in front of the starting point. Hundreds of persons inspected the strange looking ma chine.
 It was 7:s0 o'clock when Farman finally determined not to attempt a flight. He announced that the first public flight would take place Monday afternoon. Scores of prominent aero nauts from all over the country were at the track this afternoon. among them Israel Ludlow. who was crip- pied some time ago while experiments Ing with his airship.

 The Democratic campaign managers are not counting upon large accesslons from the ranks of the negroes Tney know there is considerable disaffec. tfon. but rather expect that most or the blacks will be found lining up for Taft and Sherman on the oay or election. They will not like 1t. ont they will vote that way from force l of habit. And 1t is also believed that if inc negroes generally persist in holding out against raft persuasive arKument in the shape of cash will be heId out. But will 1t not seem odd # the Republican campaign managers
 will have to go out and coax with money myriads of voters they have heretofore owned as if they were s@ many sheep in pen7
 Mast Spend Money.
 No matter what the state of feeling among the sons of Ham the Republt- cans are compelled to expend large sums of money to keep these voters in line for the grand old party. They. of course, will deny that they are go- ing 10 buy votes outright but 1t will be the same thing. They will have to put money in liberal quantities to pay the expenses of the shouters for Taft who will be expected Co go about among the negroes to beseech them not 10 desert the grand old party in It's hour of sore distress. Bands will have to be hired. halls rented. print ing and advertisements will have to be pald for, and many red lights will have to be burned. Tn former cam paigns this was never dreamed of. When a campaign was opened the Republicans were happy In the reai- ization that practically every negre In the land was tagged fin advance for their party, and 1t was waste eg time to even give him a thought.
 Many of tb prominent negro preachers i'd with the National Negro AmerioS and Political League assert positively that they will throw hundreds of thousands of voters to Bryan and Democratic nominees for Congress in the States outside ok the South. Quite naturally the Demoeratfo managers will pat them on the back, metaphoricaliy speaking. an6 wiah them the best of success in their aK~ forts to whack the Republican paTts.
