DUE TO TELEPATHY
REUNION AFTER 10 YEARS SEEMS
so BROUGHT ABOUT.
Woman Awoke Right Her Brother
Ran Away With Feeling Of Un-
easiness-Mental Messages
Part of Clue.

New Brunswick, n. J.-Reunited
after having been separated for 10
years, Mrs. Lizzie Roman OF 32 East
ern avenue, New Brunswick, and her
thirteen-ycnr-old brother, Andrew Sila-
gi are about as happy in the formers
home as any two persons could be.
Those who have investigated the
story of the reunion of the brother
and sister declare it is clearly a case
OF telepathy. The boy ran away on
the night of July S from the home of
the farmer who had cared for him
since he was two years old, and Mrs.
Roman says that on that night she
was awakened from her sleep by a feel
ing that something had happened to
her brother, whom she hadn't seen
since he was a two-months-old baby,
and she at once began search for him,
with the result that they met, after
their long separation, in the rooms Of
the Society Tor the Prevention Of
Cruelty to Children
The boy, who was half orphan
from birth, was adopted by John Wass

that he should not be seen by any
member of his family until he was fif-
teen years old. Andrew lived for thir-
teen years with Mr. Wass. He was a
good boy but high spirited.
One day while correcting the boy for
some prank Mr. Wass told him that
he was not his father and that his
t.aI Cd Tho lad
several days later ran away from
home and came to New York He
sought work unsuccessfully, and for a
week went hungry and slept in hall
ways, always thinking of his sister and
wishing that he could reach her.
Robert Mcdowell Of 202 Avenue c
found him in front Of mis- home and
The boy was unable to give any ac-
count Of himself except that he had
lived in New Jersey, and with this
clue the agents of the society began
hunt for his relatives.
Mrs Roman at the same time was
conducting a search of her own for
her brother Immediately after che

went to Hicksville to try to locate Mr..
Wass. She found that he had moved
to Perth Amboy. but was unable to
learn his address. An advertisement
located Mr.. Wass, but, to her dismay,
Mrs. Roman found that the boy had
run away several weeks before.
The only clue which Mr.. Wass was
able TO furnish was that the lad had
threatened several times to visit New
York. Mrs. Roman came here and
was directed to the Children's society.
Accompanied by the man who had
adopted her brother, she went to the
society's rooms, and the first boy
brought out for inspection was the
boy she wanted to see.
Joyfully the two left the society
building for Mrs. Romans home.

drens society. I'VE never would have
found the boys relatives if Mrs. Ro-
main had not begun her search at the
same time"

Now. there is William Camberwell,
a gentle soul is he
He runs the popular hotel
At March-Place-b by-the-Sea.
Mosquitoes hover all about
And zip beside your ears,
But William Camberwell will shout:
Don't kill the little d-ars."
For Camberwell is president
OF the s. p. c. A.,
And holds by animals" is meant
Mosquitoes blithe and gay.
So he has now devised a plan
Their bites to obviate--
Within each room he mas a pan
OF stuff to fumigate.
He argues that by this device
The room is vaporized
And the mosquitoes, In a trice,
Arc antisepticised.
Then they may come and roam around
All through the stilly night,
While every zooming. cumming sound
Predicts stingless bite.
And so each guest is duly warned
To neither slap nor whack
The poor mosquito, falsely scorned,
When 1t calls for a snack.
For. thus says William Camberwell:
1T does not hurt the guest;
The Insects pleased, the truth to tell
And all Is for the best"

Manager Cuddy in preparing his bill

has made special effort to present an
attractive bill and at an extra cost
has secured the services of the Musical
Norrises. in their 12x2 band, a pro-
nounced novelty musical act of which
the Bangor Commercial in their issue
of Feb has the following to say:
Several years ago, it would not be
just fair to say how many, for it makes
them feel old. F.. Manley Norris and
his charming wife, now appearing in
an excellent comedy musical act at
The Gdiety theatre. were residing in
an Ohio town. Both, as audiences who
have heard them know are excellent
musicians and they improved their
time and added to the family bank
account by playing for an occasional
dance
Mr.. Norris was a professional piano
tuner in addition to his other accom-
p1shments and it was due to his me-
chanlcal and musical knowledge that
ne was able to construct the wonder
ful "one-man- band" affair he is now
using IN his act. When he first hit
upon the scheme he had no serious in
tehtlon of ever doing more than fur

in the organization but as the time
drew near for the actual formation of
the association, difficulties appeared
1t seems that no man, belonging to
this society could rightfully play more
than one instrument Norris with his
devices was playing as many as three
ordinary mortals could handle at once.
The musicians were puzzled. and fin
ally decided that it was UP to Norris
to either demolish his "one-man- band"
or fail to qualify. Norris by this time
had discovered prospects in his in
vention and although he declined to
give up his band he did of his own
account retire from the dance field.
Professional friends urged Norris to
present his novel continuance on the
stage. and with his wife as his assis-
tant he finally did so. His success was
