infantry at West Tampa. Col. Coates,
in turn, directed us to Lieut. Hopper
of detachment of the SeVenty-tirst
New York regiment, who said he had
no authority.
Boone was by this time completely
exhausted and in d iainting condition,
although we had ridden on street cars
as much as possible. Lieut.. Hopper
gave US permission TO remain with his
detachment until we could secure
transportation.
The detachment was moved TO Fern

Boone had received a money order
for $25 from Robert Moss of Annapolis,
Md, just before leaving Tampa, and
upon reaching Fernandina he requested
permission Of Lieut.. Hopper to see a
physician, as the government hospitals
were doing nothing whatever for him
The detachment was moved some dis
lance shortly after Boone left, and
did not see him again for three months.
His condition at Fernandina was such
that was not al all surprised when
heard, upon reaching my home in Wor-

col Coates reported Boone as alb

deserter, but / want to say that in my
opinion he was justified in doing as
he did. Had he not received attention
soon, I do not believe he could have
lived ten days longer. Lieut.. Hopper
said afterwards that he did not blame
Boone for going.

SAME OLD STORY
But This Time There is a Clever Woman
Telling f..

out ms tune mere IS CleVef woman
Telling f..
Constable John F. Gagnon of Leices-
ter visited the Waldo street police sta
ton yesterday and asked the police
officials to try and locate an unknown
woman who a week ago cleverly Sc
cured $40 from Mrs. L. Hinsdale of
Leicester promising to send her a
golden box Of goods that would lay
the foundation of a small fortune.
Last Wednesday the strange woman
who is described as being about 40
years of age, 5 feet inches tall, dark
complexion and has a very pale face
and Is always dressed in black, called
upon Mrs. Hinsdale and told her that
she represented the Red Fern Corset
Company, and induced Mrs. Hinsdale
to take the Leicester agency for the
goods. Mrs. Hinsdale gave the woman
$40. The latter left about so cents
worth Of carriers and other articles,
and promised to send by another agent
a consignment of corsets.
Mrs. Hinsdale judged from the wom-
ans conversation that she had sue
cessfully worked" several ladies in
this vicinity. AS far as known there
are no other victims in Leicester, but
the Worcester police think that there
is a possibility that women in this
city have become the clever dupe by
the woman in black.

THREE RUNAWAYS.
They We're Evidently Deserters From the
Training Ship Constellation.

Michael Deadly, watchman at the
Boston and Albany Railroad Compa-
ny's yards, found three boys asleep in
a box car shortly after o'clock last
evening. The Waterman questioned the
youngsters, and discovered that they
had run away from the training ship
Constellation. They We're arrested and
at the Waldo street station gave their
names as David Kirby, Henry A. Fire
Ugh and Henry Bray. They claimed
that they were on a furlough, but when
searched at the station it was found
that they did not have any money on
their persons and could not satisfac-
torily account for their presence in
Worcester.
The commander of the Constellation
will be communicated with, and the
boys will probably be returned to the
training ship today.

Close Of the Eair-The PLAYS.

The Catholic church Fair was
brought TO a close Monday evening by
an auction OF tile remaining merchan-
disc and the distribution of prizes.
which took place at St Bridgets'
Hall. Friday and Saturday were busy
days for the Fair and witnessed two
evening performances Of the comedy
Under the Spell" The play is
written with the motive Of teaching
moral lesson. With this end in
view, the dramatic action Of the piece
is primarily an excuse for pouring
into the minds Of the audience the
conventional arguments against in
temperance and the gilded bar-room.
Everybody in the cast, including
the habitual tipsy person and the bar
tender, either knows at the start that
the drink traffic is a dashed bad piece
Of business, or comes to find it so
before the fall Of the last curtain.
And everybody contides this to the
audience with touching enthusiasm.
The stage people had some really
difficult work to do, and carried it out
with remarkable cheerfulness, Even
with the inevitable lessons that fell
from every exchange Of dialogue, the
play had no lack Of life and song and
change of scene, and withal moved
glibly to its close. 1t afforded. besides,
an occasional opportunity for some
very clever comedy work, and this
was carried out With Jolly good effect.
People always look for something
clever from Clarence S. Dodge and
are seldom disappointed. As Dennis
McShane, he even surpassed some Of
his previous performances in witty
dialogue and vigorous comedy bust
ness. He made several good hits and
no slips. and his songs were loudly
chcered. Dr. RadcIff put lots Of fun
into Hans Heinricks part andshelped
the play along in great shape Among
the serious parts, Miss Gray took the
heroine's lines with sincerity and
grace. On Saturday evening she sang
before the curtain with charming
sweetness and effect Miss Duren
a. Mrs Kingsley, Charlie Puryes as
Col. Wilbur and Miss Lawson as Kate
Green, all played with considerable
force. Otis Johnson took the part
of Lightfoot quite APPLY, and John
Campbell as Fitzmaurice acted with
good taste and conscientious strength.
Chas. Kirsch as jim Hawley and Geo.
eastman as George Kingsley each had
some recommendations On Friday
evening the Amateur Band provided
the music, and as a special attraction,
Attorney MCGEE Of St Paul, gentle
man Of color and an admiring friend
Of Rev. Duren. made a r0using speech
before the curtain.
