The Story of Young Woman Who
Is Detaine d by the Police.

A good looking young woman is detained at
the first precinct police station. Her name, as
entered on the blot.er, is Florence Harrison.
She is in charge Of the police matrons, who are
taking good care of her until she is examined
as to her mental condition, as her sanity is
questioned Her right name, the policemen
say, is Hanna, and they say she is the widow Of
doctor of that name who committed suicide.
Three or four years ago she was in this city
and visited police headquarters several times
asking for protection against her husband, who
had threatened her, she said. She left here
and went to Baltimore. where, she says, she
lived on st. Paul street. Two or three weeks
ago she returned to this city and went to live
at house on Maryland avenue. She soon be-
came suspicious of another woman in the
house, who, she imagined. was going to poison
her. The young woman made application to
the clerk of the Police Court for a warrant.
Then the accused woman told her story at
police headquarters. After that she was cared
for at the Help and Hope mission, where she
remained until early last evening, when she
left the institution and rushed up to police
headquarters. It was the same old story Of
some one going to poison her. The officers
thought il was time to do something for the
woman and sent her to the station.

The Orphans' Friends.

The recent donation party given for the ben

Catholic Knights Of America. was attended this
year with unparalleled success. The work was
ably seconded by the committee on donations
OF which DIR. Cavanaugh is chairman, and it is
not surprising that most satisfactory results
come from the united efforts OF those devoted
knights. who not only contributed most gener-
ously themselves but labored with untirinp
energy in soliciting contributions from others
For IL is well known that the orphans of ST.
Joseph's asylum depend entirely on charity
for their support Nothing but the high
prOmptings Of faith could induce these gentle
men TO leave their places of business and
thereby sacrifice their own interests to further
those OF the orphans. Such unselfsh devoted
ness ELECTS the admiration OF ALL for their time.

TOO NARROW FOR THE TRACKS.
The Protest Against the Kendall Green
and Georgetown Railroad Route.

Several days ago, heretofore stated in
The STAR, Judge Andrew Wylie and Others,
residents and property owners on III street,
petitioned the Commissioners protesting against
the passage OF the bill chartering the Kendall
oreen and Georgetown railroad, which it is to
run along M street greater part of the dis
lance, and urging the Intervention of the Com
mlssioners to prevent tho passage of the bill.
Capt. Rossell, to whom the matter was referre d.
today recommended that when the bill is sub
mitted to the Commissioners for their report
the petition in question be considered He
says further that the conditions on VI street do
not warrant the introduction of railway tracks
on account of its width and that the point to
be considered in passing upon the bill is
whether this inconvenience to property owners
on the street would more than cOunterbalance
the convenience to the general public.
