IMPOSTORS.
Comrades or the GAR. and W.R.C. Warned
Against Prof. Hackett and Nurse Peele.


EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: Our city has
recently been visited by one so-called Mrs.
Mary A. Peele and "PrOf." Thomas Francis
Hackett. The pair came here early in January,
and began operations by sending out through
the mail circulars to many of our citizens.
Mrs. 2. had here girl about Ia years old,
which she claimed was her only child. They
rented rooms at 133 First street and had the
money sent to them there, thus having it in
their own hands.
From Notice." at the bottom of the circu.
lar, we wrote to the Associated Charities at
Wilmington, Dell and learned that this couple
worked the same scheme there about year
ago; with this difference, however, that the
only child was boy I've years old.
We have since had letters from Cleveland O.,
stating that they operated in the same manner
there last December, only the woman's name
in Cleveland was Mary A. Bradley. The
Cleveland parties claim that they wrote to the
authorities at Washington and learned there
never was such person acting as nurse In the
late war.
They took very little money away from here,
as they were investigated and exposed in the
daily papers. They left the city soon after the
celebrated lecture" took place. and are prob
ably working the game now in some other city.
AS they make use of the GAR and W.R.C.
largely in carrying out their nefarious work we
thought best to send you this exposition of
their operations, thinking you might publish
in your paper word Of warning to the vari-
Gus Posts of the GAR. and WR.C. throughout
the country, in order to put them on their
guard and prevent their being victimized by
this outrage on the community.
Your paper, going as it does into every part
of the country, would seem to us the best
means of reaching those who would be likely
to be duped by these impostors-JAs. A. Posr,
| Secretary of the Detroit Association of Chari-
| ties
The circular alluded to by Secretary Post
states that Mrs. Mary A. PeeIe was field hos.
pital nurse, serving under Miss Dorothy Dix
| that she is now old and destitute; that the
| Prof. Hackett alluded to was a Union soldier
who was wounded and nursed back to life by
Nurse Peee, and who would deliver his lecture
against infidelity for the benefit of Mrs. Peele

The cut shows pretty silk gown that can
be made up in either tho figured or plain goods.

bon to match or harmonic with the gown.
The skirt is made up over a gored and darted
lining, but is hung straight with few gathers
in the front, none at the side, and very full +,

ut the throat and the belt, and the full sleeves
are tied above the wrist in queer, pretty way.

scraps was not made in one piece, but the three
pufs were pieced out and the seams carefully
pressed, and then it was gathered and sewed to
the lining. Instead of rows of shirring to mark
the pufs she had straight bands. If the pufs
| were short she made space between them as
| wide as the band would cover. Her sleeves
were not at all like rose petals. They were not
/ full enough to catch down in 80 many places,

what shall we do?" is most perplexing

that they will remember for a long time as one
Of "the best of times" that they ever had. An
old game but ono that not only James Russell
Lowell, but most young people approve of, is
Twenty Questions" Any number of people
can play it. One leaves the room and the others
select something for him to guess. When he
comes in he begins to use up his 20 guesses.
The last one he questions before guessing cor
rectly has to leave the room, because from him
the guesser got his deciding clew. With 20
guesses almost anything can be found out, but
If one fails he must go out again. The best
questions to start with are, lis it animal vege-
table, or mineral2 2" Manufactured" "What
is its use?" as it in this room2n This can
be played with quotations, giving the same
number of guesses to quotation, but this re-
quires brilliant set Of people to make it a
success.
Another game-lots of fun for school girls
and boys who are studying history and litera-
ture, and who are interested in the topics of
the days, "Who are your" This Is also
played by any number of persons. One. leaves
the room and the others pick out some char
acter in history or literature or some living
celebrity, and address him. when he is called
in, as though he were that person. He tries to
find out who he Is. Napoleon. Bloody Mary,
Elizabeth, King Arthur, Hamlet, Romeo, Lady
Macbeth, Or the President, Blaine, the Gar of
Russia, are good characters. Surprising boy
has gone out and the others decide on Romeo"
When he comes back, some one asks him how
he managed to climb the orchard walls, another
whether he ever really loved Rosaline, whether
he did not miss his witty friend who was slain
because of q family feud. Still he does not
guess until he hears one murmur, ooh, where
fore art thou-what thou art?" and he guesses
that ho is Romeo. The girl who came so near
really telling him has to leave the room, and
is given the character of Susan B. Anthony.
