Mrs. Minnie Howard, who came here
from Rockland some months ago with
her five children, was taken to the
county Jail Saturday night. She was
accompanied by her baby, while the
two little girls, aged and I, were
taken TO the Girls Home in North
port avenue, where they still remain.
The woman has begged a number of
times and asked for assistance, while
q few weeks ago she had her husband,
Charles Howard Of Castine, up before
Judge knowlton, charging him with
non-support. Howard was held in the
sum of $500 for his appearance at the
April term and allowed to so on his
own recognizapce. He said he was
willing to support his wife and chill
dren but that she had left him for
another man.
When arrested Saturday night Mrs.
Howard was living in a shack on Low
er Market street. and was charged
with having locked a young girl Of a
questionable character in the place.
Judge knowlton told the woman that
if she would leave the city at once
she might go but it is understood that
an attempt will be made to have the
children taken away from her on
moral grounds. a number of we'll
known social workers in the city are
interested in the case.
The First Parish (unitarian) Soci-
ETY. viii tender a reception to Rev. A.
T. Wilson the new pastor, and Mrs.
Wilson, Tuesday night from s to 10
at the parsonage on Church street.
The Hospital Club will be entertain
ed Tuesday night by Mrs. Leroy A.
Wehber on Bay View street.
There are at present 80 inmates in
the county Jail, all hoboes. There has
been almost no time during the win
ter that there has been less than 25
tranps in the Jail
A large number attended the Chap
man concert Saturday night and all
who had not heard little Miss Nina
Morgana before We're charmed with
her marvellous voice. The little prima
donna was in wonderful voice and her
selections, all favorites, were splendid
ly selected. In the Angels Serenade''
and in the "Mireille Waltz she was
perfect while in her English song she
was most appealing. All who heard
her will watch her career with rare
interest.
The illness OF Crespi. the italian
yiolinist, was lamented but when Miss
Florence Eardenan was introduced
she made an instant hit. for she has
| a most attractive personality. she
was easily the finest violinist heard in
Belfast in many years. Charles Floyd,
the tenor, pleased the audience with
his selections and was literally ap-
plauded. Mr.. Chapman, as always,
was most sympathetic in his accom-
paniments, living up to his high rep
utation.
