WELL-DRESSED MAN A BECCAR. Gilmore Admits Ask- ingfor Alms but De- nies He Is Profes- sional Impostor. IMPRESSES THE JUDGE. Case Continued to Allow Dr. Walton Time to Bring in Witnesses Who Can Cor. roborate His Charges. Dr. Alfred Walton, of No, 99 Fifth evenue, was the prosecutor in the Jefferson Market Poilce Court this morning of a mild-mannered elderly man with carefully brushed white beard keen eyes and an appearance that elicited sympathy, ‘The elderly man wald he was George H. Gilmore, sixty- seven years; that his home was in Massachusetts and that he had been stoppine at the Mills Hotel until he found he was no longer able to pay his way. Dr. Walton sald that the man was an impostor and a professional beggar of @ very high order, offering even himself as a victim. Gilmore's clothes, while | of modest design, were of rich texture his spring coat was silk lined and care- fully pressed. He had the appearance of a wealthy and retired business man of some smal! town, Pleads Hunger. “While from a patient's home one e weeks ago,” said Dr. Walton, “I was accosted by this man. who told me that he had been fobbed of his purse; that he was with- eut friends or acquainta’ in this ality, and that he wished to get back to his home 11, Massachusetts or at least to have his hunger relieved “His uge and the apparent frankness of his story reached me and I took him to @ restaurant in Sixth avenue and paid for his meal and then gave him a Dill which I calculated was large enough to tide him over for a day or two, or until he could hear from his folks. “The next day the restaurant keeper told me I had been imposed upon, that several of his customers who had seen me take him into the place had had similar experiences with him. I passed fhe thing from my mind until last night, when I saw him on Forty-second street. I watched him for a while and, sure enough, he approached a man, talked with him @ moment and the man gave him a quarter, I asked the man who had given him the money what story he had told, and it was the old one @bout losing his purse and wanting to get to his home in Massachusetts. So I called a policeman and had the beg- gar locked up.” Neat as Ever. When Gilmore was taken before Ma- gistrate Hogan this morning he was Just as neat as ever and assumed the alr of one greatly einbarrassed, if not agerieved. He inelsted that he had been wrongly treutéd, saying that his story about the pocketbook and wish- Ing to reach his home in Massachusetts was true. But he denied begging pro- miscuously. He made a favorable Impression in the court-room and Magistrate Hogan con- tinued the case in order that Dr. Wal- ton might secure additional witnesses, The doctor promised to do so, ——— WOMAN PUTS OUT FIRE.

Three of the Gould hovseholds are plentifully equipped with ping-pong tables and accessories, and two of the women of the family are reputed to be among the best players in the Four Hundred. Mrs. Howard Gould Is no- tably successful and plays a game not unlike that of the men experts of the clubs, which, it may be re- marked, is an entirely different game from that which the average tyro plays and thinks is good ping-pong. William C, Whitney has recently In- stalled a ping-pong equipment ‘In his residence, and he ts sald to have at- tained considerable skill in the game, despite the fact that he is one of the busiest men In New York, Mrs. Clarence Mackay, a soctal arbiter, is another devotee of ping-pong who shows skill beyond that of the ordinary dilletante of the ping-pong party, the ping-pong tea and the ping-pong recep- | tion. At her home at Roslyn there {s a | well-equipped ping-pong room, and she | nas spent much Lime in practice there, In Paterson, N. J., the acquisition of a ping-pong set by Mrs. Garret A. Ho- bart, widow of the Vice-President, and undeniably a leader among the wealthy | residents of that city, has done much to popularize the game with the fashiona- | ble folk there. ee Cee Tables in Use. .
