DRAMATIC MEETING.
SCENE AT A CHICAGO
SALVATION ARMY MEETING.
Miss Matte 0verman and Charles o. Brown
We're In the Role.

Chicago, Dec. 1.-THE Lord saves

est" Uttered with fervor, these words
rang from the lips Of young woman
at Salvation Army meeting In Willard
hall. AS she spoke her eyes wandered
over the little sea of heads bowling in
prayer. At the sound OF her voice one
Of the heads turned inyoluntarily toward
her. A man with a pallid face started
as though TO rise. The eyes of the two
met for a moment, and there was a
fash of recognition. Then the man re-
gained control of himself. He resumed
his seat, and through the remainder Of
the service sat with bowed head and
shame-faced mien.
Few in the audience saw the little
seine. The two were the principals in
the notorious Overman- Brown church
trial in San Francisco, Rev. Charles Q.
Brown and Miss Matte Overman. At
the close of the trial Miss Overman went
among the Crittenton workers and was
made one of the army. Henceforth she
was known as Sister Martha. 1t was
while on her way to Washington, where
she goes TO assist Mrs Emily Waller
Barrett I'm rescue work. that Sister
Martha happened into willard hall.
When the meeting was over she went
out and went straight to the Anchorage
mission there to address an audience of
young women. Rev Mr.. Brown also
went his way, and that brief glance dur
ing the services was the only meeting.
What the clergyman is doing in Chicago
no one seems to know. Shortly after
the trial he left San Francisco and
drifted east, TO be lost sight OF until his
dramatic meeting with the woman
whose name was once linked with his

TOUR ABOUT TOWN

Possibly less number of tramps
would ask for lodging in this city II
they had to take bath and occupy q
clean bed and then work out the price
of their lodging and breakfast in the
morning. But the wedding out would
be of the less worthy portion of the
army of tramps, and those who passed
this ordeal would be hopeless subjects
for reform.

in the hurry and push the walters get

Outside OF the department with which
she is connected / do not think many
residents of Pawtucket appreciate the
valuable services of Matron jerks. It
makes no difference what the case may
be, lost child, an injured man or an
insane woman, the faithful matron is
always on hand, ready to give sympathy
or intelligent aid. Her value to the de-
partment has been impressed on me at
different times, but never as forcibly as
on Wednesday night, when the late
suicide was brought in. The matron
was the coolest person in the station,
every wish OF the doctors was anti
cipated and every article for which she
had need was at hand or just where she
could put her hands on it. Always
courteous and always in cheeful frame
of mind Mrs. jerks dispels much of the
gloom incidental to the police station.
