There is some class to Miss Miller
who just came into prominence at At-
lantic City and is now resting in jail
there with a companion, who gave
his name as William Mathis,
Miss Miller hails from Millheim,
and Is known there as Ray Miller,
having taken the name Miller from a
family who cared for her during her
early life, her father is said to be
a Mr. Kleckner, The greater part of
last winter she spent in Millheim at
the Kleckper home. Before coming
to Millheim she kad lived in Lewis.
burg for several months, where she
and Mr, Kleckner lived in a stylishly
furnished house on Railroad street.
The Miller woman is about thirty
years old. Bhe came to grief on sac
count of having passed worthless
checks at Pleasantville, New Jersey,
The young woman made her ap-
pearance in the off-shore town and
rented one of the handsomest cottages
there. Bhe then visited merchants
and purchased furniture and other
commodities valued at about $1000,

Barre. They were taken into custody
by Captain of Detective Whalen, who
later discovered that they had re
moved the furniture from the house
rented in Pleasantville and had sold it
to an Atlantic avenue restaurant pro-
prietor for $68. This money was
found in a hand bag carried by the
woman, together with a number of
pawn tickets for articles of jewelry
upon which sums ranging from $10 to
$2000 had been realized,
Of the two complaints upon which
the couple is held, one is made by an
sgent of the Philsdelphia Bapply
Company, from whose branch store in
Pleasantville furniture valued at $275
had been secured and a worthless
check tendered in payment.
Feeling much sympathy for a
young woman in such distress, the
Philadelphia business man cashed her
check, for $200. The check came
back, #0 he has Ray Miller's pretty

But what is more astonishing, the
detectives have the best of ressons to
believe that the young woman has
been operating in many cities with
two confederates, covering a period of
three years. Pawn tickets for large
amounts have been found in her bag-

The School of Agriculture and Ex-

vanis Slate College is conducting a
large number of experiments of very
practical interest to farmers, stock-
men and fruit growers. It wants to
maintain close relation with every
residént of its own county in order
that it may render any service within
ite power, Last year it lovited the
farmers of the county to pay a visit
upon a fixed date aod pearly one hua-
dred people came. It renews the invita.
tion this year, asking that the practical
farmers of the county visit the college
farms and ground, Wednesday, June
let, from 2 p. m. to 6 p. m. This
probably 1s the best time of the year to
observe the result of experimental
work and a most cordial invitation ie
given to every farmer of the county to
be present. The inpstitution wants
every one to know exactly what it is
doing along practical lines. Do not
fail to give this one afternoon to the
one state lnstitution that is making an
earnest effort to solve some of the
problems that confront the man who
