Patronesses of the Mems Home and Miss Hill of the Eureka Valley Kindergarten Left to
 Mourn His Loss.

An impresario has gone astray, and the patronesses of the Mems Home and Mss India E. Hill of the Eureka Valley hln- dergarten are left to bitterly mourn ms untimely loss and incidentally to straight en out his affairs.
 Frank NJ Greene, who posed for Q time as a local Grau, came from St. Lotus Wllh letters to the best people, and at once made known his specialty-the successful arrangement of benefit entertainments for deserving and worthy charities.
 His benefits were sure things for the charities Greene handled the funds, took entire charge of the programmes, hiring of halls and disposing of tickets, promising the beneficiary stated sum, and rendering accounts to no one. All his business was conducted in a strictly legal manner and the society to be benefited affixed it's signature to contract, agree ing to these terms.
 Six charity concerts with most sats- factory results were given by Greene, and then he approached the president of the Mems Home, Mrs. Hale RiX, and It's treasurer Mrs. Hattie Robertson, offering them splendid inducements for a benefit in aid of their charity to be held at the Maple Hall of the Palace Hotel on the evening of June 23.
 The ladies were to take no active part in the affair. They were simply to lend the name of the home and in return Greene was to swell the charity's coffers by $50. A week previous to the affair the impresario disappeared, and as 1t has since transpired, after disposing Of lOO tickets at $1 apiece. Greene also had another little game on for the same evening and the same place in the shape of concert for the beneht of Miss India E. Hills Eureka Valley Kindergarten at 535 Castro street Greenes methods were interesting. AL though his presence was charming, his 1 II !, a@I.

 The patronesses of the Mems Home and Miss Mill mean to make good the tickets bought by the charitably inclined, and will each give concert, at which the tickets sold by Greene will be hon. ored. The ladies have called off Greene's spielers and are selling their tickets them selves, with the assistance of bevy of society buds.
 The Mems Home concert will take place on the evening of the Fist at Maple Han Palace Hotel. Miss Hill has not yet made dergarten concert.
