reporters are inclined to give them publicity
Nine. Mae came to this town but few
weeks ago. BY Il liberal use of printers ink
she soon heraded her arrival in every house
hold and rsked in the shekes by the hands
fu from men and women, young and old,
who sought an advance view of matters per
tanning TO love, coUrtship marriage, domestic
troubles and business difficulties Nine. Mae
is described by gentleman who has seen her
frequently as "a pretty, vivacious little
creature, and excellent company" The
Madames disappearance has not provoked
comment because she vicJimised any Of our
citizens. She left a few unsettled accounts,
but they are Sc small they are not worth
mentioning. 1t is the vivscious little
womans treatment of her spouse that has at
tracted notice.
The husband was found at his boarding
house yesterday afternoon He is little
man somewhere in his thirties and dresses
plain and neat. He spoke freely, and at
times confdentially to the reporter, His
sentences were a little ierkey and he ap-
peared 70 be somewhat nervous which is ex
pected of a man who is suddenly deprived Of
his wife
Eyes," said he, "my wife is gone; where
do not know. Some people have been here
to collect bills and have asked me to pay
them, but Tll tell you, you see I was opposed
to my wife going into this fortune-telling
| business and when she went into it 1 refused
| TO support her. For that reason / have de-
clined to pay any bills she contracted in that
busine., She does not owe much and b.
| lieve if the people will have little patience
she will pay them all in time'
/ Then you expect her return?'
yes, that is am trying to get her to
return or, l should say, L have telegraphed to
her and"-
"Then you know where she has gomez
inteEected the reporter.
"Now understand me; my wife has gone
and do not know where, but | suspect, you
see, suspect, she has gone to Buffalo, and l
have teleqraphed in hopes of finding out il
she Is there; if she is l hope to bring her back
here and make her do right by everybody"
"What makes you think she has gone to
Buffalo"
We'll now I'll tell you the whole thing
1t is great blow to me, indeed it is You
see 1 went to Wn. Penn last night to
lecture-my name is II. NJ Goodlin; l give
illustrated lectures on "The Life of Christ,
from the Cradle to the Grave u gave
/ lecture ia Bonder's Hall, last night and when
1 returned l was told that my wife had
bought a new trunk, packed her things in it
and had-skipped."
Here the mistress of the boarding house,
who was standing near the reporter, gave
vent to a prolonged sigh Il was one of those
forlorn, deep-mourning signs that tell the tale
of labor lost
The husband continued; 81 suspected, you
see | suspected and at once made inquiries
and learned that the baggage had been sent
to Hastings, N. Y, and from there to Buf
falo."
What did you suspect-did your wife skip
with any Of your moneyY
"She did, but not with much, but, I'll tell
you mind 1 don't say this is SO, but suspect
that she has skipped with that that Jim
Gillespie, of Freeland.'
"What does he do ?" the reporter asked.
"He's bad debt collector, bnt they call
him Gillespie, the would-be detective
Mind, don't say he has gone with her, but
! suspect he has. | found one of his photo
graphs among my wifes things; it vas new
photograph, fresh from print, and am told,
mind 1 do not say it is so, but am told he
was in town the day before yesterday and |
suspect that he and-and my-my wife have
gone-gone to Buffalo It's a hard blow for
me, for you know | can't give my lecture
while this is hanging over me. | gave
Gillespie a turn over in Mahanoy City once
before, and that is the reason l suspect him.
Mr. Goodlin had nothing more to say and |
the reporter LETT, II the husbands kilograms |
overtake the clairvoyant the reporters may
have something more to say. If the sus
picions Of Mr.. Goodlin are correct, and the |
fortune teller and bad debt collector have
eloped the public will give the pair the
credit of having made an excellent business |
combination, for when Gillespie finds diff.
Guilty in collecting debt Nine. Mae will be |
able to pick up pack of cards and tell |
where the debtors shekels are in hiding.
It's an ill wind that blows nobody good and |
what is Mr. Goodlin's loss may be Mr.. |
Gillespie's gain Meanwhile the lecturer can |
console himself by turning the bad debt
collectors picture toward the wall ,,
Mr., Goodlin said last night he learned Mr.. |
Gillespie was still in Hazleton.
