SHE EVADES WARRANTS,
Mrs. HimmeImann RefuS eS Adj
mission to Sheriff .Whe-
Ian'S Deputies.
A. A. Mclean, Her Former Hus-
band, Thinks the Officers
Are Negligent.

Mrs. Jennie Himmelmann, the divorced
wife of A A Mclean of this City, is caus-
ing her former husband no end of trouble.
Sheriff Whelan and his deputies are also
much worried by this lady's conduct,
though their discomforture arises from her
unwillingness to be arrested.
Mr.. Mclean, however, is of the opinion
that his ex-wife enjoys the confidence OF
the deputies sent to arrest her to such an
extent that they are unable to properly
perform their duty. According to the
husband she has peculiar knack of getting
around people, hence the inability of the
officers to serve the warrant.
In 1891 Mrs. Himmelmann secured a
divorce from her then husband, A. A.
Mclean, the court awarding the children
to the mother. Some months after this
she married W. D. Himmelmann, with
whom she lived in apparent happiness for
over year. One child was born to them,
and now that child is without a mother,
because Mrs. HimmeImann has left her
second husband. The child is cared for
by HimmeImann' S mother, while his wife
is secreted in the home of. her mother,

he PICKED HER POCKET.
Henry G. Lockwood in Jail, Charged
With Grand Larceny.


AS Mrs. NJ. A. Arnold was entering the
Grand Southern Hotel at the corner of
Seventh and Mission streets on Tuesday
morning her pocket was picked of purse
containing $40, which she had placed there
while she unlocked the front door, Three
men were concerned in the theft. One
man secured the purse and handed it to a
confederate, who ran into the gateway of
1865 Mission street and tried to enter the
basement door. Failing in this he reap
peared on the street and handed the
empty purse to Mrs. Arnold, who had pur-
sued him.
The third man, who, pretending to be a
special officer, had chased the first along
Minna street, returned with his ''prisoner5
at this juncture, and in the resulting con-
fusion confederate No. escaped. The
special officer" started for the station
with his prisoner, but never reached his
destination.
On Thursday Detectives Dillon and
Crockett and Officer O'Connell arrested
Henry G. Lockwood on suspicion of being
concerned in the affair and yesterday Mrs
Arnold positively identified him as con-
tederate No. 2. A charge of grand lar.
ceny has been placed against him.
Lockwood admits his share in the crime
but claims that he took no money from,
the purse before returning it to Mrs.

AFRICAN ENDEAVORERS.
A Series of Entertainm ents at the Third
Baptist Church.

Baptist Church.
The Christian Endeavor Society of the
African Third Baptist Church is holding a
series of entertainments in the basement
OF the church. The series commenced on
Monday evening and will continue through
the coming week, closing on Friday.
The room is furnished with half
dozen National booths: Mrs. Dora Mol
teno and Mrs. Bella Craven pre-
side at the Russian booth; Mrs. Jennie
Booze and Mrs. Frances Tyrrell the Ice
land; Mrs. Katie Mckee and Miss Olivia
Molteno the Chinese; Mrs. Sarah Petious,
Miss Jennie Parker, Miss Anna Ferguson,
the Moorish.
The Junior Endeavor Society is in
charge of the Arabian, and the Misses Ivy
Gibson and Lilly Williamson of the
old curiosity shop. A model of a
Greek temple completes the attractions,
except the evening programme, which
consists of literary and musical exercises.
Last evening the Assembly Club fur
nished the programme, and an electric
drill, ~ in charge of Velmes Mead, was one
of the features.
George E. Duncan Jr. is president of the
Endeavor Society, and to Charles r. Per-
sons is due the credit for the arrangement
of the bazaar.
The entertainments are given for the
purpose of contributing something toward
the payment of the church debt.

The Circus Tigress Turns Ugly.

The beautiful tigress Victoria, one of the
main attractions of the big circus now running
at Central Park, showed an ugly side of her
temper last night But for the presence of
mind of Trainer James McElroy and the cool
ness OF his assistant, George Ferguson, there
might have been a tragedy in the crowded
tricks, and finally turned on Ferguson, tearing
his leg severely. McElroy shouted to Ferguson
to stand firm, and the beast was quickly su b.
dued and compelled to complete her horse
riding ''turn." A thrill of horror ran through
the spectators as the blood was seen streaming
down Ferguson's leg, but the assistant did not
leave the cage until after the performance,
when his wounds were cauterized. Victoria
will be brought on as usual to-day and to-
morrow-the last days OF the circus.

though talking of some very ordinary and
everyday occurrence. All the horror of it
she seemed to have no realization of what
ever.
And Mrs. Dodge, a small woman, mild
in face and pleasing in manner, with a
horror. telling of all those black hours and
describing that prolonged and persistent
battle against life, seemed to her listener
to be the most homogeneous being in the
world. If that tale is true, if this gentle
hammered woman and her grown son bar
ricaded themselves in their rooms and
then went through all these terrible strug-
giles to end their lives-and failed ut
terly-their physiognomy is lie at least,
and Mrs. Dodge hides the physical courage
of tiger under an exterior that is alto
gether feminine and ladylike.
1t appears now that the circumstances
of this tragic battle with life were such
that no third person can vouch for it's
truthfulness. There is only the word of
the principals themselves to substantiate
it all.
Certainly the couple were very poor, and
it is said that they were also cursed with a
pride beyond the limits of their purse.

"They came to my house about five
months ago, and until the 1st of August
they were promptness itself in paying
their rent. When they engaged the rooms
they paid for them in advance, and at the
end of each month the money was always
forthcoming for the next-until this last
month.
Then Mrs. Dodge asked me if 1 would
mind waiting a week or so for my rent.
She told me that they had no money, but
expected some from relatives in the East,
and if that did not come they would sell
some things to pay me.
81 told Mrs. Dodge that could wait for
my money. l never troubled them for it,
and would not have done SO for long
time to come.

an educated and cultured woman. She is
very clever with the pen and wrote
sketches and stories, but failed to find
market for many of them. The neighbors
and all of US thought great deal of her
and would have been only too glad to have
been of some assistance to her had we

never told US a word of il, except in a
general way. And how could We know

the struggle is being closely watched along
the water front
The contract system has been carried to
great lengths here of recent years, particu-
larry by the owners of British ships. Their
agents make contracts for nearly every
thing a vessel may need while in port. A
certain stevedore is engaged to load the
ship each time it is in port. A certain
boatman is contracted with to carry the
captain between the vessel and the shore.
One doctor secures the contract to treat
the sick, and certain tug company does
all the towing both inside and outside the
harbor. The system is very unpopular
with those who have no pull across the
Atlantic.
McNear's fight was caused by the fact
that certain vessel, as loaded by the con-
tract stevedores, did not carry so much
barley as she should and was not weighed
down to the water-line by three inches.
McNear, however, had to pay in tonnage
what the ship could carry. and he is said
to have been out of pocket $1,000 by the
faulty loading.

The Eastern Idea of Smaller Number
to Be Discussed Here.
Representatives of the Boys Brigade
from all the counties around the bay will
meet in the Y. NJ. c. A. building next
Monday night.
The most important matter to be taken
up will be discussion of the advisabiiity
of doing away with all civil officers in the
organization above the company, leaving
only the military officers.
In the East the higher civil officers have
been abolished, but here it is thought by
many to be unwise to drop those whose
work is connected with the spiritual we'll
being of the young church soldiery, while
in the main the higher military officers are
better qualified for military training than
for religious teaching.
On the same evening State secretary of
the Boys Brigadewill be elected, Brigadier-
GeneralJ J. II. Russell the present secretary,
having rendered his resignation which
will be accepted Monday evening. DR.. F..
K. Ledyard, the State president of the or
ganization, which numbers about 1900
boys of different churches, will be present
at the meeting.

west of Columbia on the Providence
road; that DR.. William Jewell by his
will provided who should be buried
there; that Gov. Hardin left to

the interest on that amount should be
spent in keeping the graveyard In
