Philadelphia Park Guard Is Un-
able TO Find Wealthy Spouse.
Believed Relatives Spirited Woman
Away-5eglns Search In sanltar-
Ium--Declares She Proposed
Marriage to Him.

Philadelphia-Thom S. DoWney,
a Falrmount Park guard, recently
started a systematic search of all the
private sanitariums here In quest
for the wealthy woman to whom he
has been twice married, never lived
with and who he believes has been
spirited away by her relatives.
Not only has he been twice maF7ied
to her, according to Downey, but both
times shs proposed to him. The frst
marriage took place July % and the
second was performed two months
later. Downeys wife feared the first
ceremony was not legal because she
gave her maiden name to the license
clerk, although she was a widow,
nowney has been a guard for many
years and. became acquainted with
Mrs. Josephine Wolf, who took walks
IN the park with her husband, re-
tired business man. Although 80 years
old Downey is hale and hearty and ne
used to look after Mrs. Wolf and her
husband
ut was shortly after March H.
1911" he says, that Mrs. Wolf came
to the park alone. She sought me out
and told me her husband had dled on
March 12 | took the same care OF
her that I had taken when she accom-
panied her husband She came to the
park nearly every day. and one day
she said to me:
TON, need a bodyguard and you
have been good to me. Suppose we
20 and get married.
"I accepted the proposal" " continued
Downey, land we went and got mar
riage license. Mrs Wolf gave the
name of Josephine Gigon. which was
her maiden name, but we were mar
ried iust the same
Following the ceremony / walked
home with her and when we got 10
the house she suggested that had
better not come in as the neighbors
might talk. So went home and eV-
cry day I would call and take her Tor
a walk
"One day several weeks after the
/ first ceremony she came to my mouse
and said we would have to be remar-
ried Immediately, as the first marriage
/ wasn't legal because she had given
her maiden name instead Of that OF
her first husband l told her there
wasn't anv need of a second cere-
mony. as we didn't live together any
wav To please her I agreed 10 the
second ceremony"
Downey kept the search for his wire
secret until he learned that local aI-
torney had been retained by her fam-
,lv for the purpose of annulling the
marriage Then he got busy, he says
not because he wants any OF his wires
money. but because he doesn't pro
pose to be the goat"
Owen J. Roberts, who has been re-
tanned by Mrs. Downey's family, de'
cIares that there will be no necessity
for annulling the marriage, as the
woman was adjudged incompetent seV
eral years ago and therefore could not
contract marriage.
The relatives Of Mrs. Downey
acknowledge that she is in sanltar
ium. but decline to tell where 1t II
situated. They also admit that she II

Downey declares he won't give III

the affair out and ascertained the rea

The age when we boasted Of hold
ing our own opinions is past. Today,
IL we possess any view at all, it is not
usual to express them. This Is po-
lite. non-contreyersial age, one in
which one fears to confess to strong
feelings. To hold ones own opinion
is to risk being called opinionated,
and the world Of today would avoid
that at all costs, says the London
Mirror. Our conversation has de-
generated into a state of non-com-
initial phraseRogy, and superficial
amiability is the right note to strike,
Amiable we must be. the world de-
mards it; argument is the worst OF
form. There was time when two
subjects only-politics and religion
were held taboo; today all subjects
that may lead to dissension are to be

KIN STOLE HIS WIFE
KILL IDLE BEES
Their Death During the Long Winter
Months Caused by Repression
ct Their Energy.

Baltimore, Md.-It is acute nervous
prostration that kills of the busy lit
tie bee. The discovery has just been
made by bee scientists. who have long
puzzled over the problem as to why
the little workers die in such numbers
during the winter.
How the disease works on the honey
gatherers was described recently by
Prof. e T. Phillips in talk before the
Maryland State Beekeeper's associa-
ton. After a hard summer, working
ten hours a day gathering honey, the
bee goes into winter quarters for
vacation. All that time he has to sup
press his temperamer@ and smother
his energy. Then is when the trou-
bles come, according to Professor
Phillips.

BUFFALO BEING VACCINATED
Infectious Disease Which Kills Its Vic
tim In Every Case Alarming
Uncle Sam.

Grand Forks, N. D.-Dr. W. S. New
man. government veterinary inspector
from Bismarck. N. D., has gone to Yel-
lowstone National Park. where he is
vaccinating 250 buffalo which belong
to the government. There are also
twenty-five head OF buffalo calves in
the herd. An infectious disease, known
as hemorrhagic septicaemia, has ap-
peared among the buffalo in the park
with deadly effect. The mortality OF
this disease among domestic cattle
has been placed at 80 per cent, but
among the buffalo it has proved 100
per cent. not a single one attacked
escaping death.
The authorities are puzzled to know
how the disease was communicated to
the buffalo In the interior Of the park,
as It is generally communicated
through rood. and there has been no
way in which these animals have been
exposed that is known. The disease is
Of short duration, generally taking the
animal away within twenty-four hours
after it develops.
This disease originally came from
Egypt and Germany, first appearing a
few years ago in Minnesota and later
in Tennessee. That the disease which
has appeared among the buffalo of Ia
tional park is the same as above men,
toned has been proved beyond doubt
on government laboratory diagnosis.
Two vaccinations are necessary, the
second being administered eight days
after the first.
The authorities are much concerned
over the appearance of this disease
among the buffalo herd OF the national
park and are endeavoring to ward of
any further fatalities.
