ADVISES MEDICAL TREATMENT
Married Minister arid Wedded Parish
loner Wanted to Discard Their Pres
ent Incumbrances For Mates Chosen
Under the Higher Law.
"When Mrs. Bauer went to Porto
Rico my soul cried out To her, and she
returned, unknowing that a supernat
ural force was driving her back to lier
happiness," said the Rev. Maxwell
Walenta in court in Brooklyn. "Pla
tonic as our relations were, they filled
an emptiness that only an empty soul
can realize. We both realize the. pe
culiarity of our situation, and. while
there Is much in our attachment that
mystifies others, there Is 110 harm."
"Heaven has Joined our souls to
gether by an Inseparable boud, and
the law of man lias not the right nor
the power to separate our souls," said
Mrs. Dora Bauer.
The Rev. Maxwell Walenta was pas
tor of St. Lucas' church. lie is mar
ried. So is Mrs. Bauer. They were
arrested under the new law regarding
marital infidelity, which does not rec
ognize the "soul union" of married
persons with outsiders. Mrs. Bauer
Is a pretty little woman, with wavy
brown hair and expressive brown eyes.
"My whole life," she says through
Lawyer Gilchrist, "was one long series
of cross purposes and shattered dreams
until I met Mr. Walenta. My early
life was spent in Costa Rica, where
my father is a wealthy planter. There
I met and loved a young man, but a
quarrel separated the sweetheart of
my girlhood and myself, and I came to
the United States. Hero I met Mr.
Bauer, my husband. I did not love
him, but married him out of pique,
and my married life was a miserable
failure. Then I met Mr. Walenta.
"In my maturer years my soul began
to feel the weight of Its emptiness, and
my life became a burden with that
void tormenting nie always. By God's
will I was drawn to Mr. Walenta, and
my soul became restful again. Grow
ing better acquainted with the charac
ter and loftiness of his mind and na
ture, my soul went out to him, and
constant association with his thoughts
and feelings created such a bond of
sympathy between us that I could
feel In niv innermost being that when
"X BOSK AT MIDNIGHT AND WENT TO THE
PA11SONAOK."
be needed me I would answer. Such a
feeling possessed me when I rose at
midnight and went to the parsonage.
"The call of one kindred soul to an
other cannot go unheeded, and I was
compelled to respond. I did so gladly.
There was no impropriety In our rela
tions, nothing further than a commu
nication between two souls. External
ly our friendship Is of the platonic
sort."
"My soul would die without her," Is
the startling resume of the Rev. Mr.
Walentifs regard for the wife of his
lifelong friend. "She has become so
necessary to my existence that I can
not Ik? separated from her and firmly
believe wilh her that one day we shall
be left alone to the fulfillment of our
happiness.
"If a total reconciliation with her
husband would make her happy I
would be i,'.ad to have her go back to
Ifiif ftapptiTeM and worff oat my life
the best I could without her, but she
does not wnnt her husband."
Justice Asplnall, feeling that thlB
soul nfflnlty business was beyond the
limit Of sanity, sent the pair to the
Flatbush asylum for observation and
on the finding of the Flatbush experts
decided that both the Rev. Mr. Walen
ta and Mrs. Bauer Were lunatics. He
dismissed the adultery charge, against
them, with the recommendation to the
friends of the "soul mates" that they
should consign the eccentric couple to \
a sanitarium.
Killed In a Folding Bed.
Caught In a folding bed In Pittsburg,
Mrs. James Marshall received Injuries '
of which she died, and her daughter,
Mrs. Mary Wright of Ingram, Pa.,
w*s hurt so severely that her recov
ery Is doubtful. Both women were
found locked In the bed by a servant
who heard their groans.
Tha Spleen at Food.
In France and Italy many persons
eat the spleen, what we call in French
"ratte." I have eaten it myself. Gen
erally from a pig it weighs about eight
ounces, and it Is situated on the right
side of the pig, touching the liver. A
spleen from a cow or bull weighs
about two pounds, but Is a little more
spongy than the pig's spleen, which is
the best. If some one should start the ,
fashion wo would after awhile pay 7$
cents a portion in first class restau
rants, especially If some ? person of
mark should start the habit.? Chef Va
lere Braguehals In Letter to New York
Tribune.
The Modern Turkith Woman. I
Th. modern Turkish woman receives ,
a far better education than many of
her western sisters. When the latter is
busy visiting, going to concerts or
even Indulging In sports the oriental

spirit. With a knowledge of seven lan
guages, three oriental and four Euro
pean, foreign governesses and as many I
books as she requires little escapes her '
