Anticipating Fun.
Speculation as to the amount of fun
to be had at the forts was the only
topic Of conversation There has been
a wide divergence Of opinion among Of
hcers and men as TO the forts, many
wanted 10 go further from home. The
subject has been threshed out at every
drill and every meeting since the an
nOuncement Of the proposed plan was
made The men who We're at the forts
last year, the second regiment, were as
a whole enthusiastic over the new move,
voting the down river encampment as
the best they had ever had. The others
could not see il thus, however and
there was a more or less general feel

Rochester People Regard
Her Case as Peculiarly
Pathetic One.
AS BOOK AGENT
WAS A SUCCESS
Police Claim That Although Wo-
man Made Money She Was
Always Borrowing.

ROCHESTER, N. Y, July 25.-MisS
Frances Caspari, the woman whose
financial operations have astOnished the
police Of many cities. and who Is now
awaiting action by the grand jury in
washington, made pitifuI attempts 10
extricate herself from the mire Of debt
IN which she became entangled in this
city. and even after she went to Wash
ington sent various sums Of money TO
people here from whom she had Dor
rowed.
This is shown by the investigation
which the police have been making in
response TO the request of the Washing
ton police. That the woman is a mono
maniac on the subject OF money is the
opinion Of scores Of persons with whom
she had dealings in this city, but there
are many who regard the case as a
most pathetic one. and who believe
that had she an opportunity she would
have ultimately cleared her name in
this city.
Well Known in Rochester.
The woman was well known here, and
while there are few who admit that
she actually swindled them. there are
many who declare that there was al
ways something strange about all her
transactions. A number of loans which
she made in this city were paid by her,
and on others she had sent partial pay
ments from Washington.
During all the time she was in ROch-
ester she was engaged in selling various
sets Of expensive books, and, as
rule. called only on people who were
thought wealthy. She came here direct
from Baltimore, where she had served a
fve-year term in the penitentiary, but
no one learned Of that fact until she
was here some time.
Was Success as Book Agent.
It was through her intellectually
that she made her strongest appeal
AS a book agent she was a success and
It IS said that she sold several hundred
sets OF looks costing from so upward.
Her operations as a book canvasser.
however. are thought TO have been en-
tl-eiy honest. Her occupation gained
her a comparatively wide acquaintance
among wealthy people, whom she
asked for loans left and right. SO far
as the police can learn most Of these
loans were paid back but many %
them only after considerable urging.
Ia investigating her operations in
Rochester the police have been puzzled
by one phase OF her operations. Her
sales were large, she was always busy.
apparently she made money, Yet she
was always touching people for small
sums Of money Ito tide her over" She
dressed very simply, she lived very
plainly, and never INDUCED IN luxurIes
OF extravaganza. when she paid back
the loans sometimes she paid UsuriCus
interest
In most cases her lenders had nothing
more tangible as security taan her
promise TO pay. There are a few in
stances In which she gave notes, and in
each case the amount OF the loan was
10 be materially increased when re-
turned one Of these instances was the
direct cause Of her departure from
Rochester.

TN these latter cases there is a rene
