Aft?r Year's Search. hadn't felt sorry for the family cf n coal pr;er who became Insane and Jumped overboard from , the Maui etanU 1i mlJ ocean, and If It had not been that she had a voice that gave her the name of "Bessie the Lark" In the school In aiaxgow, every thing might have been different. However, everything went right and within a few days. Instead of making beds In the Hotel Annonla and helping In the linen room at the hostelry, the young Scotch girl will bepln an entirely new life. BesMo.hns been "discovered," and, thanks to Mrs. Charles Douvllle Cohuin's long search, she will be given the chance that she has sought. The girl's story reads like fiction. She Is an orphan, born In the County Longford, Ireland, but taken by her parents to Scot land when two yetra old. When Bessie and her sister, Kate, a year her Junior, wc.ro able to talk they were taught Irish nrelodles by their father. The two girls attended a parochial school Just outside ot Glasgow and here the sweetness and natural power of their voices aoon attracted the attention of the teachers and the children. After tho death of their father the girls lived with relatives, but they wanted to come to America and finally borrowed money to come to this country. That was a year ago. The glrla left for New York in tha Mauretanla. The second day out ona of the coal passers jumped overboard i.nd the first cabin passengers decided to hold a concert, the proceeds of which would bo given to the widow and children. One of the deck stewards told those in charge of the affair that there were a couple of young girls In the second cabin whom he had 'heard singing and declared ther voices to . be equal to any he had Ps V I r Li- laeetrltg Ctoltxc w V I r is the price we've placed on our $13.50 to $18.00 Two nud Tlirce-Pioce Suits, although it is LESS THAN HALF THEIR ACTUAL WORTH.

The girls were the last on the program, and their singing of the old Irish and Scotch airs aroused more enthusiasm than any other number. It happened that Mrs. Charles Douvllle Coburn was on the Mauretanla. 'Hhe was titling outside the music room when the girls sang. The applause had hardly ded out before the two girls disappeared toward the sec ond cabin. Mrs. Coburn decided to hunt them up the next morning, but that night the Mauretanla anchored off Quarantine, and by the time the cabin passengers were ready to leave the steamer most of those Jn the second cabin had disembarked. Ever Blnce then Mrs. Coburn has been searching for Bessie, and It was not until a couple of days ago that she found hex. During the last week Mrs. Coburn, with her husband and the other members of the Coburn plavers, have been giving open al rperfomances on the campus of Colum bia uaivei....y, tli a proceeds of which were to go toward founding scholarships In the college. One day she visited a friend In the Hotel Ansonla, and while there heard lomeone singing. There could be no mis take In the voice, and she at once told her friend the story. Together they visited Mr. F. J. Searing, tha manger of the hotel. When told the story ho smiled. "Why, your1 sister, Mrs. Coburn," he re plied, "must be Bessie McOlynn, who came here a few weeks ago. I have heard a lot about her voice,- but never had the chance to hear her. They ay It Is a won der." Bess was sent for, and when ques tioned, very nervously admitted that she had sung at a concert on the Mauretanla a year ago. "Well," said Mrs.' Coburn, "we'll see what can be done about It, and maybe it will not be long 1efore we'll hear Just as much about Bcsslo McGlynn as anyone else In opera." Bessie la not quite 21 years old, and although she sings all the old ballads of Scotland and Ireland, haa never tried to study music. Her voice Is. of a deep con tralto. "Range?" aho replied, when questioned on thla part of her musical qualifications, "I don't know anything about a range, except the gas range they use here. 1 sing because I love tq and never thought of singing In public before, except at the little concerts they used to give at home. My sister Kate and I always sang at the benefits In Glasgow, but never for money." Mrs. Coburn will have some of the beat known musicians in the city hear Bessie's Blngtng within the next few weeks. Then it will be decided on the best method of aiding her for operatic work. UNDERTAKER'S TEAM RUNS AWAY WITH A DEAD BODY Street Car Break ToagM on Wasjoa Horoea llroak Away aad Ran.
