ADVISED TO "GIT."
Woman Soliciting Funds for
Charity Interviewed by Police.
Her Methods Not Satisfactory and She
Is Advised to Leave Town.
Same Party Who Tried Same Game
in WaterviIIe.

1t is very evident that some people in
the several cities along the Kennebec
nave been made the victims of mis-
placed confidence, this week, and at the
hands of woman. She has been in
Waterville, in Augusta, and presum-
ably in Hallowell and Gardiner, in
which latter place she is said to be-
long, but where she is now is matter
of conjecture.
Her first appearance in this city was
Monday, when she was soliciting con-
tributicns with a view to procuring an
artificial leg for a poor friend who was
in hospital, minus a part of one of
the limbs with which nature had en-
lowed him, as the result of a surgi-
cal operation. 1t is not known what
was her success in this particular line
of charitable enterprise, but later on
she made a complete change of base.
The artificial leg and the sufferer in the
hospital were forgotten, and her entire
energy was devoted to an attempt to
raise fund for a family of small chill
dren whose mother had just died.
Naturally, in the course of her work,
she encountered people who she had
approached while working the wooden
leg racket, and they marvelled much
that she should be doing the good
samaritan act on a wholesale PLAN
About this time she came under the no.
lice of the police, and as she came out
of store on Water street, Marshal
Breen called her aside and impaired to
her some words of wisdom which
caused her to take the next car out of
town. 49, -, -, -.e, =. :, :,
That was Wednesday. Thursday
morning, she took the first train for
Waterville, and was reported to be do
ing the same work in the interests of
charity in that city. There too, she en-
countered the police, to whom she con-
fided the information that her name
was Maud H. Wood and that she be-
longed in Augusta.
Maud must have erred, or else her
memory failed her. when she gave her
residence as Augusta, for during her
short stay in the city the police made
a thorough study of her general con-
tour, and are positive that she is not
a product of Augusta soil. 1t is the
opinion of Marshal Breen that she be-
longs in Gardiner.
1t is not probable that she will visit |
Augusta again. at least in the pur-
suance of her charitable work, but |
she may seek new fields in places not |
far removed from the Capital City, and |
in order that she may be recognized |
it may be well to give brief outline |
of her general appearance. She is |
tall, slight, with dark hair, and angular |
features. Her distinguishing feature |
is her eyes, which are very peculiar. |
and suggest the use of opium or some |
other drug. a popularity which would |
be noticed at the first glance. Sne |
dresses fairly well, and has a variety |
of clothing, noticeable among which is |
a red hat and close fitting jacket of |
the same color

Realistic Scene in "Jerome.v

Realistic Scene in "Jerome."
1t is difficult matter to describe the
great mill scene in the third act of '.Je-
rome" which will be seen at the Opera
House on next Monday evening, Feb. IT,
Suffice it to say the management of the
attraction promises a stage effect rarely, if
ever equalled in this country. AS will be
remembered, in Mary wilkins story,
there occurs freshet causing the burst
ing of the mill dam which completely
wrecks Jerome's saw mill. carrying it
away.
To represent this in a stage production
has been a difficult task and much time
and money has been expended in per-
fecting the scene. However the difficult
ties at first experienced have been over
come, and the result is stage picture of
unusual character and magnitude.
The seat sale will open this morning
at 10 o'clock.

but which was happily proved upon

origin of the rumor seems to have been
some careless words spoken by one of

pressed contempt for the disease, say
ing that they cared nothing for it in
Canada, and that on her way to Au-
gusta, she had slept in house where
there was man sick with it, ana that
he had since died. 1t is not to be sur
prised at that her talk created anxiety
among the other employees of the room,
nor that it was soon reported to Mr..
Gooch, overseer of the room. He at
once communicated with the Board of
health, and DIR. w. H. Harris. with DR..
Hector Guy, started to investigate the
case They were unable to locate eth

evening, DR.. Guy and Sanitary Inspec-

and succeeded in finding both. The
child's skin showed an eruption. which
Dr. Guy reported to DIR. Harris, and the
two made a thorough investigation of
the case, Thursday, deciding that it
was eczema. 1t afterward transpired
that the woman had a certificate from
a physician in Canada, stating that the
child was affected as it was found to
be.
