SMOOTH LITTLE WOMAN
Associated Charities Call a Halt
to Her Work.
USED WELL KNOWN NAMES
Said the President OF the Association
Sent Her Out After Money
Patience Ceases to Be
Virtue.

Patience ceases to be a good thing
force is obnoxious persistency. Even
so worthy and noble cause as charity
becomes tired of too much of a good
thing. The Associated Charities of this
city have found it advisable to call a
halt on certain woman who has been
begging in this city. The methods en-
ployed by this woman are such as to
stamp her professional of the most
virulent type. She has proved herself
to be pretty smooth little woman, but
the game is called and now the Asso-
ciated Charities will play ball The
woman who has devoted so much tai
ent and time among the wealthy
classes of Butte, and whose persistent
endeavors have set people to forming
conclusions as to the manner in which
the Associated Charities do business is
Mrs. Wadleigh. She has been in Butte
some months. She has a husband and
four small children. The husband did
have a job, but it appears that he
doesn't have to work because his wife
insists upon doing all the work for the
family.
Right here 1t is again given out
straight that the Associated Charities
do not delegate any pauper to solicit
aims. The mission of this institution
is to stop begging. Whenever a, case
comes up the charities investigate It,
and If it be a worthy case, relief is be-
slowed at once.

yesterday to reporter for the Stand
ard, has visited many citizens in this
city and gave them to understand that

once. ! send no person after money.
/ met Mrs. Wadleigh to-day and asked
her why she used my name in this way,
and her reply was anything but cour-
teous."
Mrs. White is president of the chart
ties and is naturally opposed to the
methods used by this woman. 1t is
said on the highest authority that Mrs
Wadleigh has collected at least 500
upon the strength of her statement that
Mrs. White had authorized her to ask
for money. 1t is also known that she
obtained household goods upon the
statement that this or that wealthy
person had promised to be security FOR
the payment of the goods. 1t is also
said by eminent authority that this
same woman carried on at the same
rate in Spokane until finally the press
of that city exposed her scheme. 1t is
further said, and with a high degree
of profound sincerity, that she VIII
have to stop using reputable ladies
names in connection with her schemes
to raise money.
For some weeks the Associated Char
tiles have been aware of the actions of
this woman, but on account of her chill
dren they had hoped to succeed in re-
moving the woman from the city with
