Minnie Mefford, aged twenty, living at
No. $50 Potomac alley, attempted suicide
yesterday afternoon. about $3.50 o'clock, by
taking morphine in glass of beer. Her
mother detected her in the act of putting
the drug in the glass. but the contents
were swallowed before she could prevent
ir. She then telephoned TO the City
Yispensary for medical assistance
DR.. Rees responded and succeeded in put
ting her on the way TO recovery. This is
the fifth attempt made by the girl at self
destruction. She has a child five years old
at the Orphans Home, for which she
grieves, the authorities refusing 10 allow
the child in her charge. The neighborhood
druggists have been notified not to sell her
morphine but she never fails TO get it
when in q mood for self-destructlon.

perhaps be found in variations in the at

form, under varying conditions. with the
and c. of an atom, unite with bonds d, Q.
and f. of another, q molecule of certain

bond q unite with bond f. a molecule of
quite different properties might be the re-
example, the different forms, with different

Gradually the truth is being brought to
light. Part Of the theory is already quite
established, and the hope begins that in
time the mystery may be entirely removed.

Star Co1orz

Professor Chandler. who addressed the
Astronomical section yesterday on variable
stars. has published several papers on that
subject in scientific journals. In one OF
these he describes an ingenious method of
estimating star colors. which he has used
with good effect. 1t consists in estimating
the relative change of brightness effected
in two stars by the interposition. first. of q
blue and then of red shade-gl If red
and white star appear of the same bright
ness when viewed directly the red star will
seem the fainter when the blue glass is in
terposed. but the brighter with the red
glass This difference of brightness can be
precisely estimated by Argelander's method
and they thus afford definite measures of
the differences in color of the two stars on
au arbitrary scale depending upon the
glasses employed. An important result of
Mr.. Chambers investigations is the inti-
mate connection shown between the length
of period aud the depth of color of the star;
the very short period variables are evenly
white. and those of longer period somewhat
redder, the tint growing deeper the longer

MR.. THALMAN'S STATEMENT.
lie Shows the Finance Committee of the Pres
ent Council Its Mistake.

The statement having been published
that the finance committee of Council of
1889, of which committee Mr.. Thalman was
chairman, did not remit enough money to
New York in time to pay interest on bonds
and thereby the city's paper was defaulted.
Mr.. Thalman was asked yesterday for an
explanation.
1T is a lie manufactured out of whole
CLOTH SO far as to the old finance committee
having blundered and let the city's bond
interest go by default" said Mr.. Thalman.
II am SURPRISED that Mr.. Woollen should
indorse such a statement without first care
as to who was to blame. The whole fault
rests with Mr.. Woollen and his committee.
They did not remit enough' to pay the in
terest due July 1, and instead of being
short short ss1s incorrectly reported PSnna 500,
all the past due coupons HRtare
presented for payment. This is truly an
unfortunate affair for the city. During the
many years past the clty's credit has been
most sacredly guarded by the former coun-
ellis and its finance committees. Interest
money was always promptly In New York
before the coupons were due: On that
account the city's credit was always first
class. The facts are as follows: In Janu-
ary last there was due interest at Winslow,
Lanier IL Co.'s Bank, New York, on bonds
