teresting case being that of Mrs. Brid-
get O'Malley. feeble old woman, "
years of age, who was referred to the
board by Mrs. W. B. Duggan, agent of
the Associated Charities.

comes on there and said that the Asso-
ciated Charities had agreed to pay one-
half of the railroad fare providing the

if it would not be possible to get her
daughter to send on the money to pay
her fare.
This aroused the old wOman's ire and
she arose tottering from her chair.
"Well. I'll go to no poor farm she
said. "It's a nice way to treat me just
before Christmas. Some of you men
that are agn' me now may have a
poor Christmas ahead of them some
day and may have to go to the poor
house themselves. I've worked hard
since me man died, but I can't work
| any longer and we paid taxes these
thirty years. I'll go to Warren now, ir
spite of you all,' and she walked out
in the hall.
| And go to Warren she will, for Mrs
| Duegan enlisted the services OF a char.
| liable gentleman who agreed to pay the
remainder of the fare.

tally crippled woman living at 2l2!

Mrs. Collins Death.

1t begins to look as if Mrs. Mary
Collins, who was found dead near
Twenty-ninth avenue and Jackson
street, last Sunday, was murdered for
her money. The coroner's jury de-
clares her death was due from stran-
gulatiOn. Mullen's reward might work
we'll in a case like this.
Just why the police force of this
city should scott the idea of Mrs.
Collins having been murdered as says
the coroner's jury is most unexplain-
able thing. Just think of lot Of
men, the whole lump lot of them with
no more education than is to be found
in one twelve year old school boy of
only average intelligence arraying
their opinions in opposition to a man
well versed in books and experience
and among the foremost practitioners
of medicine in the Northwest The po-
lice OF this city always have a clue
and a theory of every crime that is
committed, but they never happen to
get the criminal unless the culprit
stole a loaf of bread to keep from
starving to death. Where ignorance
is bliss tbs folly to be wise, and that
is the exact situation Of the contro-
Xersy going on between the police and
the coroner over the cause of Mrs.
Collins death

George H. Primrose of Primrose &
Dockstader's Big American Minstrels
is noted as being the best exponent
on the American stage as imitator
of the dandy darkey. His grace and
agility as dancer has won him fame
rom ocean to ocean. The sale of
seats for the big minstrel show will
commence at the box office of the
Grand next Tuesday, for the three
nights starting Thursday, December
rs, and as this company usually plays
to standing room only" it will be
well for those who prefer sitting in
stead to secure seats before the open
ing night. Black-face will be the or
der and the rule at each performance.
The company is exceptionally strong
in comedians and vocalists; the see
mic display is neutrality-suspicious.
mic display bright and beautiful, the
program full of diversified acts, the
entertainment without competitor in
