NEWS OF BELLAIRE.
The Steel Plants Progress on Double
Turn.-.Mother's Club Meets TO-MOr-
row Night---Chronicle Of Briefly
Told Local Items from the Glass
City.

The double turn now being run at
the steel plant is not meeting with
much success. About a dozen melts
have been made during Mondays and
last nights turn which is only one
fourth the number which was accom-
plished with the old men. A delay
was caused during Monday nights
turn by break down of the machin-
cry. The break was not serious one
for it occurred at ten o'clock and at
eleven o'clock the mill was again
working full force.
There is no doubt that the company
is suffering a great loss by operating
the works with the new men, as they
are receiving as much money for their
work as the old men did, and yet are
only capable of turning out about one
fourth as much metal. The strikers
remain quiet and entertain hope that
the company may be made to realize
the fallacy of their present system Of
operation.

One hundred thousand dollars is an
immense sum of money, yet this
amount was cleared by 1.-THE Strange
Adventures of Miss Brown" during it's

one hundred nights in New York. The
idea of handsome young army officer
in the disguise of a school girl, enter
ing and living in a private academy

of an hour, is the theme of the farce.
The situations at times are so eXcru-
ciatingly funny that the audience is
convulsed with mirth for fully two
hours and a half. One laugh, caused

sOubrette, is the company which will

SHE LOVES A TRAMP,
Sherif's Wife Elopes with One of Hell
Husbands Prisoners.


Mrs. Susan S. Kay, wife of Sheriff Will
liam A. Kay, of Houlton, Me-, figures in
one of the queerest romances yet re-
corded in Maine. Mrs. Kay sacrificed
her home and children for a tramp
whom she had nursed back to life
while he was confined in the county
Jail. Charles Sweeny, known by many
aliases, illiterate, unprepossessing, vul
gar and apparently possessing no trait
which could appeal to a woman, was
arrested six weeks ago and confined in
the county Jail on charge of assault
ing a little girl. While awaiting trial
Sweeny was taken seriously i'll. Mrs.
Kay, who acted as matron of the Jail,
nursed the tramp tenderly, and he soon
recovered When his case came up for
trial much surprise was shown when
no one appeared to prosecute him. and
Sweeny was released. He remained in
Houlton, and, although with no friends,
he had plenty Of money. The gossips
soon started stories about the tramp
and Mrs. Kay, and the sheriff began an
investigation, with the result that he
caught the couple holding clandestine
meetings regularly on the outskirts
of the city. When they found them
selves detected the couple left town,
going to Halifax, St. John and then to
Bangor. At the latter place Kay sue
ceeded in getting an interview with his
wife, and, arguing for the sake of his
children, succeeded in getting her to
abandon her tramp lover. Mr. Kay will
give his wife separate maintenance so
long as she keeps away from Sveeny,
and will allow her to see the children
once month";

MAY DISRUPT THE CLUB.
Woman's Organization Of Balti.
more Wrangles Over a Story.
One Of the Members of the Literary
Set Writes Book, Harsh Criti-
cism of Which Displeases
the Author.

The Woman's Literary club of Balti-
more, which is composed of quite a
large number of women well known in
brink of disruption. The trouble was
caused by the reading of story writ
ten by Mrs. George Dallas Dixon, one of
the newer members of the club, entitled
"On the Sand Dunes"
The story was submitted at the re-
quest of the fiction committee, and Mrs.
George Whitlock was assigned to read
it. When she had gotten about half
through, the president of the club, Mrs.
Lawrence Turnbull, was observed to
show signs of decided disapprobation.
She suggested that the story was not
altogether of the character which the
members had been wont to hear at the
meetings, and she was CT the opinion
that a departure from the old system in
this particular would not be altogether
desirable. She therefore suggested that
the reading be discontinued.
Mrs. Whitlock did not see the pro-
priety of cutting the story short, be-
CAUSE ollC was VI IIle " t)llilOll l1ldt, ludS-
much as Mrs. Turnbull's suggestion had
been made, it would be but fair to the
author to have the entire story pre-
sented, so that the members might be
in a better position to form an estimate
of it's character. It was decided that the
reading should continue, and Mrs. Whit
lock read on to the end.
The author did not attend the meet
ing, but upon being advised of the pro-
ceedings she at once sent her resigna-
ton. Mrs. Turnbull, it is understood,
was unwilling to have Mrs. Dixon with
draw, and sent communication which
was calculated to smooth matters, with
the request that she reconsider her ac-
ton. Mrs. Dixon. however, is not will
ing to return to the club, because suffi-
cient latitude does not seem to be per-
missible.
The story contains the moral that a
married woman who permits herself to
indulge in what appears to her harm
less filtration may suddenly awaken to
find herself compromised, and, while
really innocent, be driven by the con-
sequences of her action still further on,
until she is forced to pay at last the
full penalty of the law.

Miss True took the affirmative and

poked fun at the followers of the suf-
