STARVING MOTHER AND
 GIRLS LIVED IN VAULT
Had Been Unable to Find SheI-
 ter or Work.

Endeavoring to cook potato over a small fire in a vault in a deserted cem- etery in Paterson, N. J., Sophia and Margaret Green, aged twelve and four teen years respectively, the daughters om Mrs. Mary Green of Shenandoah, Pa, were found by the police. The two children were so weak from star vation that they could scarcely walk. Their mother was found later in the manufacturing section of the city try Ing to secure employment. She was In such a weakened condition that 1t was found necessary to remove her to the hospital.
 Mrs. Green declared her husband was killed two years ago while at work in a mine in Shenandoah. Since then she has been in destitute circum- stances. Two months ago she was thrown. out of her position in a silk mill in Shenandoah and, thinking she might find employment in Paterson, went there.
 Unable to find employment, the wo- man wandered about the city for two months. One night she slept in the park, while the other night she found shelter for herself and young ones un- der stoop.
 Then she came across the vault in the deserted cemetery. The door was broken in, and the woman made this grewsome place her home for herself and two children until such. time as she could locate permanently. She was unable to secure employment, and she and her children were kept alive by victuals which she begged.
 A policeman had been informed by boys that some one was living in the vault, and an investigation resulted in finding the two girls. They were re- moved to a charitable institution, and their parent upon being located was removed to the hospital

DISMISS CHARLTON PLEA.
Judge Decides Against Writ of Habeas
 Corpus For His Release.

Judge Decides Against Writ of Habeas
 Corpus For His Release.
 There was not sign of emotion upon the face of young Porter Charlton when, after sitting in court for nearly eight hours, Judge Rellstab at Trenton, N. J., dismissed the writ of habeas corpus under which his release was sought to escape the charge of having killed his wife in Italy last June. A few minutes after the decision had been given Charlton lit a cigarette and conversed with his keepers with the seeming Indifference of a mere specta- tor.
 Judge Rellstab allowed ten days within which Charlton's counsel, in cluding his father, Paul Charlton, who is taking an active part in his sons defense, will perfect an appeal from the decision to the United States su- preme court.

CORNWALL

One of the ancient landmarks went up in smoke last Saturday. The resi- dence of John E. Calhoun was burned to the ground and the building utterly consumed. The work of saving the contents was continued as long as possi- ble, and many valuables were saved. Practically all the furniture on the first floor was removed. as we'll as pictures and ornaments. Some of the best china was also saved, and no one was injured. One of the maids was to be married in the spring. She had her wardrobe well prepared and it was utterly consumed. '. The fire started in that part of the house, and two of the servants who had rushed to their rooms for their personal belongings had to go out of the windows in haste. Fortunately the fire occurred in the day time, and the weather was mild. Many were on hand to assist in the salvage work.
 The Cornwall board of relief will meet Wednesday, Feb. 1, instead of Monday, Feb. 6, as stated in the adv. last week.

TWO FALL OFF TRESTLE.
Aged Woman Tries to Save Husband \. After He Slips on Ice, but
 Fails-He Dies.

Trying to keep her husband from falling from high trestle, Mrs. Philip Steiner of Wilkesbarre, Pa., received injuries which surgeons declare will cause death and her husband was killed
 Steiner was seventy years old, and his wife is two years younger. The couple had no money and after dis pute with their landlord were remov- ing their goods from the house they had been occupying. They were talk ing away their furniture in the night to avoid any, chance of their belong ings being seized.
 Loaded down, the couple were cross ing trestle thirty feet high. It was cold, and heavy frost made the foot ing dangerous. Steiner was in the lead. He slipped on the frosty ties and fell.
 She plunged forward desperately and managed to seize one of his legs as he shot over one of the rails. At the same moment he seized one of the ties with one hand and for a few tense moments hung on. For a brief period she supported him as he swung in the air, and then both fell.
 Mrs. Steiner struck with great force upon her back and for some time was unconscious. When she regained her senses she could barely move, and her husband was motionless and silent. She failed to rouse him, for he was dead. She called for long time for help, fainting at times. Finally aid came.

 "Well," said one kindly disposed friend, flor my part I think Henry is very bright and capable. Pm sure he will succeed"
 Perhaps you're right" said another friend. "Henry is undoubtedly a clever fellow; but, take it from me, old man, he hasn't got the head to fill his fathers shoes"

ITALY AND TURKEY CLASH2
BattIeship Sent to Egypt and Three
 Others Held In Readiness.

Considerable excitement has been caused by the departure of the Italian battleship Pisa for Egypt and the or der just issued to the battleships San Giorgin and San Marco to hold them selves in readiness to sail.
 It is believed that this is the fore runner of an Italian naval demOnstra- ton against Turkey as the outcome of various incidents which have dis turbed the friendly relations between the two countries.
 There is a feeling in Rome that the Young Turks, desirous of demonstrate ing their nationalism to their support CTS, picked upon Italy as the safest country to annoy.

Was it a Dream?

Iris not of mighty huntermen,
 Who start out in the clear Of the bright an early morning,
 To try and bag deer; Nor of some poor lone fisherman,
 Who sits at eventIde, And angles long and patiently
 With a brown jug by his side. These do not need the blazonment
 Of poet, or minstrel's song, Whatever need of praise is there
 Themselves will help along. There are others more retiring,
 Whose deeds are ont of sight, Unless some poor old worked out muse
 Brings them into the light. So the hero of this narrative,
 Is not hunter bold i; Nor piscatorial artist.
 Who fishes in the cold. Bnt just humble citizen,
 Although of some renown 'Mong the grocery politicians,
 Of this dear old sleepy town. He buys a horse with Judgment ripe, And if 'tis on 8 Monday; He doctors it for just 8 week,
 And sells it on a Sunday. Now Myron is a vet, \.
 With such magnetic force He can take the tail of any old nag,
 And grow on it a horse. And as weather prophet,
 He is hard to down. we know; .-. For when his pigs go nesting,
 He says, "Sure sign of snow" And when you hear him prophecy,
 Just take a straight tip from it. For he was the first one in this town
 To discover Halley's Comet. He can take a wooden saw-horse,
 Or clothes-hor if you like, And fix him up so slickly,
 You could speed him on pike. AS dreamer he beats Joseph,
 For the dreams he has at night Would put to shame the visions
 Of that ancient Israelite. He goes to bed quite early,
 When his days march he has trod; And Myron soon is dead to all, And ill the land of Nod. But next eve round the fire,
 At the store he tells the boys How last night when he was sleeping,
 He was 'wakened by noise. So he got up to investigate.
 And roamed from front to back; Stubbed his toes against the chairs,
 And stood upon tack. He went out in the orchard,
 Looked in the chicken coop Thought he'd locate the trouble,
 Around upon the stoop. But alas, be did not find it there,
 So he snooped around some more; And bumped his head against tree;
 Which made him awful sore. At last on looking, up he spied,
 Beneath his window sill A exryo r,,o oe uol1ouy 5ao
 That were humming with will. "Ha, Ha, said he, twas you disturbet
 Me, when asleep in bed !; I'll to the house and arm me;
 And soon you'll all be dead" So to his room he went once more,
 And softly raised the sash But in another moment, he
 Regretted this as rash. They swarmed through the open window
 With loud and vicious hum; Poor Myron felt them on his Hanks, He knew that his finish had come. They charged right up in front of him The morning air was blue; For those yellow jackets lances, Were not only sharp but true. To right and left they harrassed him, And when he turned and fled; They hung like cloud on his rear,
 And got some jabs in on his head. How he ever got rid of those jackets, To the boys he never would tell; 1 Some told him he was suspected, Of drowning them down in his well. To their oft-repeated inquiries, 1 Tho sarcastic and rude they woult seem;
 He d never admit that the incident, l. Was more than a hair-raising dream | A DEER STALKER

IN OLD KENTUCKY"
TRAINING SCHOOL
Role of Madge Played BY
Many Well-Known
Actresses.

Few plays have provided a traipinS
| school for so many successful players
as In Old Kentucky, coming to the
| Academy next week in its nineteenth
season.
The role OF Madge. now played by
Miss Mildred Johnson, has furnished a
character for numerous actresses VINO
later won wider reputation in other
parts.
Bert G. Clark, one of the veterans Of
the case, today told of some of the
Madgts he has played with.
"Bettina Gerard was the first MadSe
| played with, eighteen years ago. he
said. She made Madge pretty little
rogue, full of the spirit OF the noun
tains: fiery, devoted, ready Tor any
sacrifice for the man she lOveu. She
set the type which has been followed
to a certain extent ever since.
Laura Burt, who has since been
leading woman for Sir Henry Irving
and star in America, was the next
Madge, and a fine dramatic perform
anCe she gave; pehapS the best, from
the purely dramatic standpoint, of any
woman who ever played the part. Lulu
Tabor followed her-She has retired
and is now Mrs. Considine, of New
YOrk-and was very sweet and pretty
ana engaging as the little mountain
heroine.
ELSA Ryan, the delightful little
woman who is now and then seen in
meteoric fashion in some musical play,
played Madge for season or two.
Elsa gave a touch of daInunesS and
prettiness to the part that it has lacked
in other inpersonators. Bessie Barris-
Gale, with head OF Shimmery golden
neir, played the part straight" and
got a lot out of it. She Is one of the
great family of actor Children-the
Taliaferros, the Greys, the BarrisCales.
and the Burts. She is cousin of
Laura Burt, who was the second of the
actresses to play MadGe.
After Miss Barriscale came in rapid
succession Nellie Callahan, Marion
Shirley, Marie Quinn one of the most
WinsOme of the MadEes-May Stock
ton, who suggested the tOm-boy more
than some of the others, and the pres
ent little girl. Mildred Johnson, who
really plays the part with a touch OF
humanity that has been lacking in
many of the performances"
