OUT OF HER M|NDAND CLOTHES
An Insane Woman's Prank
Shocked Policeman Law ION.
Where She Came From and Who She
Is Are Mysteries.

Up to last night about all that Polio,
man John J. Iawton, OF the Madison
street station. knew OF living pictures"
was what he had gathered from the
accounts in the newspapers. 1t is diff
ferent now.
Shortly before 1 o'clock this morning,
while patrolling his post. Policeman
Iawton was startled to see woman
standing on the sidewalk. near the cor.
ner of Market and Madison streets. en-
tirely nude. Her hair was undone and
hung loosely about her shoulders.
The policeman approached and asked
her where she lived and what she was
doing there in that condition. Tho
woman looked at the policeman and
smiled. hut made no reply.
Policeman Lawton took off his coat
and threw 1t around her. At the same
came to the assistance of their brother
officer.
From Catherine street to the Madison
street station il II long way. The woman
had remained quiet as long MS she stood
still. but when the three policemen tried
to urge her along, and the crowd which
ia been greatly augmented set up an
other howl, the unfortunate woman
She struggled, kicked. fought and bit,
until finally she lay on her back
policemen are strong, ana the woman
was not very neav!. Han an hour later
Shn WA carried into the station house
and stood before Sergt. King, most
! , ,ui.... Z. ....,- I'tn',.,i.
Now that the light was such that the
woman could be seen 1t was evident that
she was person or refinement and OF
| apparent responsibility.
| The Sergeant tried 10 be severe but II
didn't do any good. and the woman would
not tax. Then he coaNed, and she said her
name was Alice Scott. That was all
not another word dill he get out OF her.
| When the ambulance from Gouverneur
| Hospital arrived Alice was taken there
They only kept her an hour, and then
| sent her to Bellevue BY this time she
was so violent that the physicians were
compelled ~ strap her to the bottom OF
the Ambulance.
The police hunted vainly during the
remainder of the night for some trace
| of the woman's home.
| When an Evening World" reporter
called at the house this morning II was
stated that DR.. Douglass, the chief oil
the insane ward. had not made an In
/ vestigat ton into the womans case. and
until that was done no additional infor
nation could be given.
| The woman Is described as being
| about thirty-hve years. with dark hair
| eyes and complexion.
| The police were unable to md any
| OF her clothing on the street neal
where she WAS found, and II is thought
that she lives in the neighborhood ant
left her home In the nude condition ir
which she was found.

BOYS SHOWING THE QUEER"
Two Brooklyn Lads skilfullv
SwiAdle a Cigar Dealer.
After Passing q Spurious Coin They
Again Dupe the Victim.

The Brooklyn police are looking for
two boys about twelve years old, who
are believed to be passing counterfeit
money. Their arrest may lead to the
capture Of gang of counterfeiters who
have been getting rid of bad coin in the
city for several months past.
Yesterday afternoon the two boys
called at Morris Keeps cigar store, rs
F1atbush avenue, and after purchasing
a package Of cigarettes, rendered a
quarter in payment.
One of the boys returned in about five
minutes and called Mr.. Keeps attention
to the two 10-cent pieces which they
said he had given them in change. Both
coins were lead. and Mr.. Keep at once
gave the boy two good coins for the bad
ones.
A little later he found that not only
were the two 10-cent pieces spurious,
but the 25-cent piece, given for the ciga-
rettes, was also bad. Mr.. Keep re-
ported the matter at Police Headquar-
ters this morning.
The coins are all fairly good imita.

BROOKLYN NEWS.
BAGCED A BURGLAR. POISON FOR LONELINESS.
Unidentified Body of a Suicide
Near Ridgewood Reservoir.
An Unsigned Message, Written in
German, Found in the Clothing.

NEWTOWN, l.. l., Aug. 1.-THE body
OF an unknown man, apparently about
% years old, s feet inches in height,
was found near the reservoir of the
Brooklyn water works in Ridsewood
this morning.
The man had gray hair and mustache
ana was bald. The body was dressed
In black and white coat, blue vest and
trousers, white shirt. white flannel un-
derclothing, black stockings and laced
shoes, Beside the body was a black
straw hat. On string fastened to
the coat was pair Of eyeglasses.
Near the body was found an empty
whiskey flask, which contained poison.
The man had evidently committed sui
eide, as the bottle was partly emptied.
Coroner Brandon. of Newtown, was
summoned and ordered the body re-
moved to Skeletons morgue at Newtown.
In a pocket of the clothing was a
piece Of paper on which the following
was written in German:
II stand all alone. in the world. with
nobody to help me-"
The note was unsigned, and there was
nothing that would lead to the Identity
Of the man. From the tone Of the note,
it is evident that the suicide of the man
was caused by dependency.
Within the past week there have been
four suicides In the town Of Newtown.

BASEBALL CHAT.

One thing that may have operated
against Rusie pitching more effective
ball than he did In yesterdays game.
the opening one In the last series with
Baltimore, was the bad attack of rheu-
matism he was laborlng under. Before
the game Amos complained of His back
being filed with rheumatism. There was
a sudden change In the temperature dur
Ing Thursday night, the thermometer
dropping probably Is degrees. Sure 1t
was, however. that the Orioles lit on
Rusie for fair right at the start. and
that was a most disheartening first in
game. and the series In the Baltimore
New York games stands to 5. The
Monumental City was juhliant last night.
and for this afternoons game expects
1000 spectators.
Meekln will do the pitching for New
York y his arm Is all right. He. too,
complains OF a bad arm. and last night
he subjected 1t to a steaming and a Wig
orous rubbing Of alcohol.
Umpire Lynch made an amazingly
close decision of Rnsie's out at the
plate in the NTH inning Yesterday. The
Umpire Emslie registered at the Flu:
taw House last night. Maybe there Will
be a change in the officiating umpires
to-day.
Kennedy's unsteadiness and a comedy
OF errors lost yesterdays game at East

struck out the first man up. Seven Bos-
tonians faced him IN two innings, with
one scratch hit and three struck out.
That solitary hit was al the Hub

1t Is not fair to criticise Kennedy too
harshly. for few pitchers could retain
their nerve against such wretched sup
port as he received. But this makes
Dcub's work all the more conspicuous.
It's a wonder Tommy Tucker Is not
compelled to abide by the rules and act
within decency. ON the coaching line
he stands nearly on first base. pay
ing no regard 10 the limit allowed by
League rules. Yesterday. while Lowe
was at bat, he came almost up to the
plate to coach him. While in the field.
