WOMAN IMHOSTOR.
She Plays the Role of Messenger for
school Teachers.

Complaint has been made to the police
that a little woman, not well dressed, has
been collecting small sums of money from
mothers of school teachers under false
pretenses. The first heard of the woman
was when she appeared at the house of a
school teacher in South Washington. She
asked at the house for the mother of the
particular teacher. and, representing that
she was employed a charwoman, said
the teacher had sent her for s. The
mother gave the woman the amount desg-
mated and the caller departed. When the
daughter returned home in the afternoon
from school-being employed in the Jeffer-
son building-her mother discovered that
She had been imposed upon.
The woman called yesterday morning at
the house of a teacher in the Peabody
school and asked for s1.5O making repre-
sentatiOns similar to those she made In
South Washington. She told the mother
that there was a school entertainment to
be given and that her daughter needed the
money for immediate use, but did not
have time TO come for 1t herself Instead
of giving the woman the money the mother
that her caller was an impostor
A description of the woman has been
given to the police, and some of the officers
have an idea that they know who she is
In the event of her apprehension she will
be charged with an Offense punishable by
Imprisonment in the penitentiary.

DEFEATED THE SAENGERBUNDS.
Excellent Bowling by the Carroll
Vnstitmta


The first games of the season of 1S9S-99
in the District Amateur Bowling League
were rolled last night on the alleys at Car
roll Institute. the opposing teams being
the Carroll and Saengerbund teams. A
goCd-si2ed gathering of spectators was in
attendance.
The work done by The institute bowlers
was of the most expert class, every one
of their team totals exceeding the 800
mark, and defeating the Saengers, for two
years past the champions of the league, in
all of the three games. In testimony to
the skill of the bowlers the number of
difficult spares bowled should be mentioned,
in fact, to detail them would take more
space than could be spared. 1t is not
likely that in any set of games previously
rolled were so many apparent splits turn
ed to spares.
What is probably the most difficult shot
on the alleys. 4-5-7, was made by both
Bruegger and Bul dine.
Harlow led the two teams in individual
work. getting 191 for high game and ay-
eraging the fine score of 1S7 for the even-
ings play. Jorss of the Saengerbund had
a decidedly off nieht. and bowled greatly
below his usual score.
The alleys were in fine condition, the ho1-
lows that have formerly existed having
been planed out
In the opening game the first man UP on
enthusiasm at once for the Saengers
All of the other players, with the excep-
ton of Burdine broke, the CAROLS get

through the game.
Harlow's playing after the first half was
remarkable, he securing 123 pins in the last
five frames.

to be an exciting contest. The team rep

The loss of the first game certainly
seemed to worry the German team into
careless playing, for in the second game.
While their team score greatly improved
and finally resulted in a total that would
ordinarily have been winner, the sight of
a single pin left standing annoyed the
bowler to such an extent that several easy
spares were missed. The home club held
the lead through the game although the
finish of the Saengers in the tenth frame
was very strong.
