AN UNUSUAL CASE
Young Italian Woman Turned Away
by Her Parents.

About two weeks ago a well known
lady from this city, while on one of
the Staten Island ferryboats, was
asked the way to the Society of Ital-
ian Immigrants in New York. Fur
ther conversation revealed to the
lady that the girl who had asked the
question was Maria Abuse, fifteen
years old, from this city. The girl
said that she was leaving her home
on account of ill treatment from her
parents, who had abused her so much
that she was going to the office of the
italian society and request their pro-
lection. The lady accompanied the
girl to the place at II Pearl street,
and saw that she was placed in their
care.
A few days later Chief Burke re-
ceived a letter from the secretary of
the society, asking that the case be
investigated. The local police COM
piled and discovered that the girl
was suffering from a disease con-
tracted when she was only four years
old, while living in Italy. For that
reason she has been Stunned and
abused by all of her relatives, Her
parents refused to support her.
The society was told the facts in
the case, and the girl was sent here
at once. Recorder Pickersgill listen
ed to her story and decided that the
best thing that could be done in the
matter was to have her placed in
some home. She was taken to New
Brunswick this last week, awaiting
the action of Judge Booraem, who. it
is thought, will send Maria to some.
place where she can be properly
cared for.

WAY DOWN EAST"

Way Down East" heralded as the perennial wonder" comes to Polls tonight. "Way Down East" is a play that has prompted unstinted and enthusiastic praise from clergy, school teachers, women, and, in fact, people in every walk of life, includ- ing thousands who are seldom seen inside the walls of a theater. Aside from the main theme of the play love and it's power to subdue enemies and tear away barriers-there is plenty of lively comedy to lift up the level of the story. The chore boy, HI Holler, is host in himself, and Seth Holcomb, Martha Perkins, the constable, the professor and Kate make quintet of delightful compan- ions for any time. MT Brady has given the play magnificent setting, and the same great big production and cast which comes direct from it's ten weeks run at the Academy of Music, New York city, will be seen here. The cast is headed by Phoebe Davies, other members are Ella Hugh Wood, Genevieve Cliff, Mary Daven- port, John Brennan, Uric Collins, Charles Blanchard, James Galloway, Robert Fischer, Burt Flansburg and others. Prices are 25, 35, 50, 75 and $1. Telephone 116-2.

Jacques
VAUDEVILLE.

Two European novelties that are as attractive as they are different will vie for honors as the principal feature of next weeks bill at the Jacques. They are Hermany's cats and dogs, with the enchanted statue Nader and Chassino in hand and foot shadowgraphy. The annual exhibi- ton is said to be different from any thing in this line to which we have been accustomed. and in addition to the unusual novelty of the exhibition there is the extraordinary feature of cats and dogs working together in a harmony that is exquisite in the ex- treme. Chassino, too. has an exhibi- tion that is exceedingly novel. par tieularly in the matter of his foot shadowgraphy. and this act will prob ably cause as much talk as any ever shown at this theater. A third prom inent feature of this bill will be Harry La Rose ard his company s presentation of ''The Sailor and the Horse" There is a very funny story to this sketch and the novel horse race at the finish is said to cap the story with one of the most laughable of elimaxes. Nef and Miller in anaint comedy and eccentric dancing. the Dixie Serenaders in comedy of the sunny south. Signor and SignoTa Galata in a high class operatie sketch. Geiger and Walters in their musical novelty. "In the Streets of ItaIy." and the eleetrograph will complete the bill. Prices are 10. % and 90 cents. matinee 10 and 20 cents. ladies 10.

Latest Version of old Roads to tho Happy State of Matri-

From year to year bridal lore changes slightly, and brides continue superstitious enough to believe in any. thing handed out by so-called oracles Here is the latest version of old roads to connubial bliss: January bride Prudent housekeeper and sweet-tempered. February - Affectionate wife ani tender mother.
 March = Frivolous chatterbox and given to quarreling.
 April - Inconstant, not intelligent, fairly good-looking.
 May-Handsome, amiable, and T , happy disposition. June-Impetuous and generous. July-Pretty, smart and quick-tem- pered. August-Amiable and practical. r September - Discreet, affable and much liked. October-Pretty, coquettish and jeal- ous. November-Liberal and kind, but of a wild disposition. December-Well proportioned, fond of novelty, entertaining and extrava- gant. It is unlikely that any tried, tru. and sensible bachelor can be persuaded to choose an ugly old maid for a partner because of a belief that if they marry in May she will be handsome amiable and of happy disposition"

MAKES HIM THINK OF HOME
Negro Woman Servant Causes Turk ish Minister to Astonish
 Guests,

When the first Turkish minister, Mele Mele, came to Washington a grand ball was planned in his honor. Hundreds of invitations were sent out and nearly everybody who received one came, for there was much cur.osi- ty to see the important Turk in his native dress.
 Particularly were persons anxious to examine the splendid dress turban which had been described and talked about, made, as it was, of plaster of paris. yet looking like the finest mus lin. When the evening arrived Me e Mele seemed to be the only one who was not having good time. He stood looking as if he did not know that everybody was admiring him and alto gether was very much bored till sud- denly he caught glimpse of a big negro woman who was assisting in serving the supper.
 Instantly he rushed up to her, and, throwing his arms about her neck gave her a good kiss, explaining that he could not help it, she reminded him so much of his best and most expensive wife, and while the com- pany thought it very odd thing to do, everybody could understand that he was a homesick man and nobody minded it in the least.

He is the first president to adjure tobacco, but he has fine taste for music, which Louber, Faure, Grevy, MacMahon and Thiers. who were all smokers, notably lacked. President Fallieres shares M.
