THE WANDERING LADY.

♦ • MYSTERY OF HER IDENTITY UNSOLVED. An oH lady, named Aim Glover, wrs found wandering in Threadneedle Street, London, with jewellery and bank note* worth about £10,000 upon her. She has been removed to the City oMiOndoroi Asylum at Stone. There- is a® much mystery about the identity of -this poor afflicted lady as there was ami still is about "'Mr Walter 'Morley Martin," a, wealthy gentleman whose eccentric behaviour *at the Great lias tern Hotel, Bishopsgate Street, led to his removal to the Stone Asylum, where he died unidentified on Sept. 3, 1900. In the present case all that is known of the old lady is that her name is Ann Glover. She has told the •doctors that she lias no homo and no relations, and beyond that she has s-aed practically nothing. She knows that she bad much valuable jewellery upon her, and also many bank notes, and an. annuity form, m& sfre is also aware that she is being taken eaire of in an infirmary, so it will bs seen that her condition is not hopeless, but rather one of temporary mental aberration. An extraordinary feature of the case is that she cannot be induced to say how ?he came to London. Tyro leather-covered boxes belonging to her were found in Victoria Station, and they hay« been taken to the Bow Infirmary, but there is absolutely nothing in them or on them — not even railway labels — to show who she is and where 'she has been staying. There is no doubt that she is a woman of good birth, and there is reason to believe that one of her eccentricities was to travel j a ] ol ic — she- is a single woman — from place to placa without disclosing her identity to anyone. Not a single person has come forward to throw any light on this strange romance, and' in order to give the ca.«e as wide a. publicity as rmssoble, the police have- sui> plied the following description of Miss Glover: — Height, sft lin, grey eyes, grey hair, fresh complexion, and age seventy-six. Shu was dressed in a. light check iacket with a brown velvet collar, a grey dress, a black and white feather boa, a. green straw hat. trimmed with blue and white ribbon. a> green silk waistband, and brown boots.
