The first woman who came to me

GAME WELL INTRODUCED

Fund dAssociation-Hery Victims Try
Ing to Trace the Clever Imposter.

Portland, Ore, June S.-About a fort
night ago Mrs. Alma StuyvesanU or Now
York came to Portland, bringing n letter
OF Introduction to prominent society
lady. This letter represented Mrs. Stuy-
vesant as one OF the accredited collectors
OF the National Maybrick Fund Assccia-
,ion," with headqua rters in New York city.
Mrs. Stuyvesaut was about twenty-eight
years of age, decidedly prepossessiug in
appearance and talked like book" upon
all subjects. Her pet topic. however, was
the philanthropic mission upon which she
was beut.
The object of the association represented
by her, she alleges, was to raise n colossal
sum of money from American Women to
secure the release from the prison OF Mrs.
Maybrick. now serving a life scntencein an
English prison for supposedly having pol
soned her husband.
GATHERED IN THE SHEKELS.
Mrs. stuyvcsant proved SO charming and
pleasant that the Iadyto whom she brought
he letter, without considering the absurdity
OF the proposition, contributed $50 to the
National Maybrick Fund She intro
duced Mrs. Stuyvesant to a number of
other ladies belonging to her set, all OF whom
were similarly captivated by Mrs. Stuyve-
SAINTS fascinating manner, and they also
contributed to the fund without seriously
reasoning that no sum OF money could ac-
complisb the purpose of this association
in three days time the charming col
lector succeeded in gathering In almost
$500 from Portland's sweldom. and on
The fourth day she left for San Fran
cisco armed with two letters strongly
recommending her admission to a moneyed
set there. And now there is mourning in
Portland, for those who contributed learn
that they were duped.
The letter Mrs. Stuyvesant brought was
from Mrs. G. F. Milton. Salt Lake friend
OF the Portland lady. There also the col
!ector was quite successful in enlisting
metallic sympathy for innocent, iInpris-
oned Mrs. Maybrick.
AN UNMITIGATED IMPosToR.
On Wednesday last the Portland heroine
of this episode was startled by the receipt
of another letter from Mrs. Milton. in
which Mrs. Stuyvesant was denounced as
an unmitigated impostor.
Mrs. Milton declared that this fascinating
female philantbropist. came to her with
letter from an Omaha friend. The lat
ter's suspicion became aroused some time
after Mrs. Stuyvesaut left Omaha, and upon
friends she was apprised that the MAY
brick A-socia tom was a myth.
