those who have known him best through

with the most love and honor. The man,
as he was, stands before them. Just,
brave, heroic. Every inch soldier, and
worthy of higher rank and more dis

lowed Her-Miss Vera Ava, a Supposed
Philanthropist, Visits a Roman Cath
Ollie Priest, Passes Into the Church,
and Is Not, Leaving Absolutely No
Clue to Her Whereabouts - Peculiar
Features of the Case.
CHICAGO, Sept 11.-A1iss Vera Ava, the
wealthy Englishwoman who came to Chi
cago recently to raise the standard of liv-
ing in the slums, was reported missing to
the police Wednesday night. Mrs H w.
Bolton, the wife of Rev. DIR. Bolton, pas
tor of the Centenary Methodist church,
fears that Miss Ava has met with foul
play. Whether Miss Ava is a fraud or not
Is question that is bothering the public.
She claimed to have been in this city for
four months, working in the slums. vet
nothing was known of her before Aug. /.
At that time she appeared at the Yelling
ton hotel. She demanded the best accom-
modations, and ran up good sized bill
As she had almost no baggage she was
asked to settle her bill after the second
day, and she did so promptly.
Pays Up and Leaves the Hotel
Aug. she paid everything that she
owed and left the place. During the time
that she was at the hotel she used car
rage every day, always paying the bills
promptly and being regarded by Winship
& Price, the liverymen, as a desirable
patron. While at the hotel she became
interested in the Centenary church and
was regular attendant, not only at the
Sunday services, but at the week day
meetings. 1t was at one of these that she
outlined her plan for carrying on her
charitable work in the slums.
Home for the Unfortunate
Early in August she became acauaint-
ed with Francis Mingay Mr. Mingay is
an Englishman, and with his wife and
daughter was living on Jackson street.
Miss Ava had decided to start home
where she could care for the women whom
she might induce to reform and thought
that Mr.. and Mrs. Mingay and their
daughter would make good assistants
Accordingly she rented the two-story
frame house at G4S West Monroe street
and installed the Mingay family on the
first floor. The house is far from being
an attractive residence, but it is close to
the Centenary church and hardly block
from the home of DR.. Bolton.

SPRINGFIELD, Ills. Sept. 1.-THE first
day of the regular competition of the Ma
tional Guard interstate rife match was
inaugurated by firing at known distances
by the several teams. Ten shots by each
man were fired at 200, 800, 500 and coo
