of East Goshen, Pa, whose name was
alleged to have been forged on the

On the 23d OF last month she came to

ances and at sach house unfolded tale
of hard LUCK. At one house which she
visited she stated that she was sub

phia bought round-tr trip ticket at Bal
timore. She alleged that she stopped
OFT here for the purpose of seeing
friends and had her puoketbook stolen
from her in the p, w. & b. railroad
station. She said she went to the wash
room and placed her pocketbook and
gloves on the wash stand, and while
her taok was turned somebody took the
pooketbook. She said she had no money
after the theft and asked for loan,
saying she would return it ON the fol-
lowing day. III IA
The people upon whom she called
knew her we'll and although she said
50. SO would be enough money to tide
her over, they loaned her IS, and also
five cents with which to pay. car fare.
While she was In the house she ex-
hibited check for something over S25
upon a Philadelphia tailor and init
mated that she would like to have it
csshed, but her benefaotors did not
cash it. The loan has not been returned
and nothing has been heard of the
woman since by the people who adj
vanced the. money.
The Wilmington man who loaned the
woman S5 wrote to Posner Brothers of
baltimore few days ago, inquiring
about the woman, and today received
postal card from the firm saying that
she was not in their employ.

mittee of One Hundred, acknowledging
the receipt of q remittance for the
India famine sufferers. Last Friday
Brown Bros. d TO. cahled nearly
$4,000, which had been contributed
for the relief of the famine sufferers.
The letter says: ''Your kind services
are appreciated by the Committee of

treasury, has come through the agency
of the banks uf tho United States.
Moreover, their sustained interest 10

have been anxious lest the impression
should prevail that the stress Of the
famine was over and that there was
less need Of relief gifts.
SIT is true favorable rains have
fallen over the whole famine area, but
they have fallen on destitute and
emaciated millions. The necessity for
clothing and blankets and shelter must
now be added to the necessity for food.
Otherwise, the death rate will be in
creased "
Speaking of the amount sent last Fri
day, the letter says: -Four days hence,
tho gift from this city, may be
thought Of as providing days food for
nearly 300 hungry persons, including
few famished children, or buying II
native blankets for the almost naked.

much relief can be secured by each
dollar wisely expended in the famine

cable, the thanks OF the committee to
