LONDON's MURRAY HALL.
English Woman Known for Forty
Years as Man.

From the London News
A singular story of female impersonation
was told in connection with case of al
legged fraud before Mr.. Curtis Bennett at
Marylebone on Saturday. catherine
Coome" described as "a house decorator,
was charged there, and on the name being
announced by the jailer. there stepped into
the dock a slight figure. with close-cropped
brown hair, in all the habilments of the
male sex, and bearing as striking resem-
blance to man as one could well imagine
She was charged on a warrant with OBJ
tanning by false pretenses the sums of los,
Of 6S Tavistock Crescent, Paddington, with
intent to defraud.
Mrs. I,ockyer said that on November 5
last she went to 6s Tayistock crescent TO
manage the house for a Mrs. Ramsey. The
prisoner was living there at the time, and
occupied a room with Mrs. Ramseys son.
and from time to time she supplied him
with food. for which she had received no
payment.
The accused was believed to be a man.
The witness. in giving her evidence, always
spoke Of the accused as he or him. He
represented to her that on January % he
was coming into a life annuity Of 200 from
his cousin, and the money was to be paid
to him by Lawyer Ague through Messrs.
Barclay, Bevan & Co.'S bank, Lombard
street Eight days before the money was
supposed to be paid over he borrowed from
her half sovereign to enable him to get
the money quicker, and on the following
day he told her his solicitor expected he
would have the money in about fort
nights time. Various other sums were bor-
rowed. Witness afterward discovered that
his story Of his inheritance was all false,
and, although he promised to make every
thing right next day, she turned him out of
the house. She was then absolutely pennf-
less, he having taken all she had though
he knew she had to keep her husband, who
had been an invalid five years, and also
her children. Detective Sergeant Burrell
proved the arrest Of the prisoner at the
Fulham workhouse.
It would seem that for forty years the
accused-a woman-has personated man,
and during that time has worked as dec
orator and painter on the p. and o. steam
ers and in various West End firms with
out her sex ever being discovered. Accord
ing to her own story, she was married at
fifteen years of age, and, having served as
schoolmistress. she eventually went to
Birmingham, where she determined to per-
better as such rather than as a woman
After serving two years on board p and
o. liner as captains cook. she became ac-
quainted with Lady Campbell's maid at
Hampton Court House, and eventually mar
ried her. living with her for fourteen years
at Huddersfield. She then returned to Lon
don. and, in consequence Of sustaining sew
eral severe accidents, she was compelled to
enter the workhouse. where for the first
time she made known her real sex
Mr.. Curtis Bennett remanded her. as it
was said other charges would be preferred
against her

They Saved the Lecture.
Max O'Rell in Harmsworth's Magazine.

A single man, who enjoys the lecture,
and who expresses his pleasure by ap-
plauding and laughing loudly. will be able
to thaw the most frigid audience In Port
Prize. South Australia. 1 lectured one even-
ing to an audience who. during the first
part Of the entertainment. hardly once gave

Everything. however. seemed to be in my
favor. The house was crowded and most

men laughed. roared and applauded. Pres
emily dozen people laughed with them and
applauded. The three men were so pleased
with the lecture that they laughed at

audience with them.
The infection spread up to the back of the
house and to the gallery, and L gave thu

warm, responsive and enthusiastic audience

from them are graduated patrons of the
library.
Two boys who belonged to a home libra
~ group last year moved to another part
of the city and missed the home library so
much that they hunted up the volunteer
visitor and asked her IL she could not or
ganize another group in the locality OF
their new home. One OF them candidly
remarked to the visitor concerning the
boys he had persuaded to join the group
They don't care for reading but neither
old we when we Joined your other group.
On going back to another home library this
fall the visitor found that one of the boys
had saved his money during the summer
and bought bookcase, together with sets
OF iibbon, Prescott. Thackeray, Scott and
Dickens. He had not only bought these
books, but was reading them with the
keenest interest. These incidents may
sound trivial. but there is such a multi
tude of them that they will one day have
tremendous weight in the intellectual life
OF this community.
Another plan which we have placed into
operation TO reach the people who need
books most is the public school plan. We
nave found teachers in the schools who
were glad to act as librarians and we have
made deposits of books with the teachers
The books would be taken from room to
room and from school to school being
taken home by pupils. Another very eff
IectiVe Idea which we have followed to in
duce children to visit and become interest
ed In the Libraries has been the story-tell-
Ing plan. We have selected some of our
bright young men and women from the
corps of librarians and have set apart a
certain day each week when the children
could come to the branch libraries after
school hours to hear storytelling The
librarians tell the children interesting sto-
ries, generally leading up to some book or
line of books on the shelves.
Il have seen half a hundred children
sitting In circle on the floor Of branch
library building. listening in open-mouthed
wonder to the remarkable tales that were
being discoursed for their benefit. II has
been very efficient plan. The system of
branch libraries has undoubtedly had a fair
test In Pittsburg and il to be commended
emphatically. OF course, 1t must be re-
membered that much will depend upon
management. In Pittsburg we have allowed
no outside influence of any kind to cream
into the work No politics has been Der
mitted to enter. but the organisation IL
Kept going on the principle of merit and
results alone" Il
