WINCHESTER, Va. January %, 1911.
Tears which came rather unexpectedly
were the undoing of the skilfully laid
matrimonial plans o. Miss Lula Ethel
Sine and Charles T.. Lentz, both OF the
Maurertown section of Shenandoah
county, the other day. Lentz had been
forbidden to visit the girl by her father
so he disguised himself as another young
man who was not objected to by the
stern parent and held number of con-
ferences with the pretty girl of sixteen
years, with the result that they boarded
a train for Hagerstown before Miss Sine's
father was aware of what had happened.
He soon found out, however, and sent
messages broadcast.
A policeman entered the train at
Charles Town not knowing whom to APP
proach first. AS soon the girl saw
the man in the uniform she became hys-
terical and burst into tears, giving the
whole plan of elopement away. The
officer sent the couple back home on the
next train, and although Miss Sine is be-
ing closely watched by her father, she
declares size will yet wed young LentZ, as
she can never love any other man.
Scarlet fever has broken out in num-
of Frederick county and the southern

yesterday. all children of school age
were ordered to be vaccinated. A rigid
quarantine is being maintained in the
infected districts The disease was
brought to the county by young James
Lewis who contracted it while packing
oranges recently in Florida.
Oppose Enforcing Blue Laws.
There is so much opposition in Win
chester to the Sunday blue laws being en-
forced by the police regarding the sale
of tobacco and chewing gum and post
cards on Sunday that the matter will
probably be taken to the common coun-
ell, which will be asked to modify the
law to such an extent that such sales
will be permitted. The law is very old
one, and had been forgotten entirely I'M
til the chief of police recently dug it up.
Even registered hotel guests were not
allowed to buy cigars on Sunday
