Negro Crank Who Made . Disturbance at
the White House.
Saturday evening there was lively scramble
in the Executive Mansion, but it was not scram-
BILE for Office. 1t q scramble on the part
of an insane coiored man to see the President.
while on the other hand several stalwart po-
licemen were endesvoring to defend themselves
from his attacks. The man, who stands at least
six feet in his stocking feet, imagined that he
was the victim Of voudoo doctor and that
snakes, lizards and frogs were in his feet, arms
and body. His story was that while in the
employ Of Gen. Grant at the White House he
was worked upon by the voudoo and was then
sent south to get cured. He went as far as
Spain, SO he said, and now Ire was here to get
cured, as General Cleveland, he said, was
the only man who could cure hin. Stevens
had names for the different reptiles that were
in him, calling one Of them Moses" and an
other one Peter"
When the visitor was told that the President
was away from the city and that be would have
to call later. helbecame boisterous, and then the
struggle ensued. He was finally overpowered
and taken to the third precinct station. There
he was pronounced insane and Acting Sanitary
Officer Amiss will send him to st. Elizabeth's
this afternoon. ,-,r.s.,,,.

Rev. DR.. John L. Jeniser Of the Metropolitan
A. NJ E. Church delivered an interesting SER

liberty. In the course Of his address he said
that history teaches Us that the more intelligent

trol the weaker. All people in their slime. said
he. have had their period of bondage and

ALONG THE WHARvES.

Saint Dominic's Sunday school is spending
the day at River View. The Pentz is to make
four trips and has already carried down great
party of picnickers. Tie executive committee
comprises all the teachers and officers of the
school Rev. Father Linahan seems to be at
the head of the outing and is making things
pleasant for the cutters.
Yesterday despite the promise Of foul
weather, there was a great crowd on tine green
lawns of Marshall Hall. The Manchester anu
the River Queen took down on all their trips as
many as the law would allow. Prof. Schroeder 8
orchestra discourse6 sacred music and the new
dining arrangements, whereby meals are served
on the American plan. were appropriately ap-
preciated by the throny. The cafe. under the
management of Superintendent McDevitt. is
one of the strongest attractions at the historic
hall. The chief engineer of the Manchester had
his wife and family down, and Mr.. RanYage. j..
formerly OF the hall. but now Of New York.was
revisiting his old stamping grounds. Yrs.
Salisbury and family Of San Francisco were
down and Purser Betz had a party OF ladies in
tow. 1t was delightful day.
large party of tourists from Belgium went
down TO Marshal Hall and Mount Vernon on
Saturday.
The Fifth Baptist Sunday school are at Mar

go down tonight on the Mac.
Capt. Jones of the schooner William Oliver.

and refitted and made ready for active duty.
Prof. Esputa. leader Of the River View
Orchestra. has followed mp his march. "Capt
Randall" with another composed for and dedi-
Gated to Capt. William Luckett.
The general impression along the front is
that the investigation OF the Wakefield Randall
incident will result in the suspension of the
captains licenses for fifteen days. This will
occasion loss to the officers, it is expected
that their pay will continue.

ALEXANDRIA.


THE STATUS OF THE CRY TREASURY.
More than one-half Of the Alexandria city
taxes for 1898, over Gao 000 are now in the city
treasury. and City Treasurer Harlow is paying
out the semi annual interest on the city debt,
which will reach some 1900. All the
officials. teachers and employees have been paid.
and the new council goes in with
full treasury. There is no surplus, however.
as the payments OF taxes will be slow during
the residue Of the year. and the $4,000 taxes
overdue for past years, the residue of the taxes
for the present year. the fines, licenses and
rents yet to come will be quite
sufficient to enable the city to pay its
way. but there is no reason to suppose that at
the end of the fiscal year there will be more
than small sum in the hands Of Mr.J. II. D. Luut,
who will have succeeded Mr.. Harlow and be the
city treasurer when the fiscal year closes. Mr..
Lunt has already qualified city treasurer.
giving rs the sureties on Lis bond Messrs. s. II.
Lunt. Frank Hume, l. e. O'Neal and Charles
Strangman. No extensive provision for new
street work or sewers has been made, and it
seems likely that even II the new council shall
initiate a plan for extended WORKS Of internal
improvement that plan will not go into opera
ton until next year.

A Story of the Gold Cure

One OF the clerks at q downtown hotel mas
been born anew through the gold cure. He
says that at one time he was an alcoholic wreck.
but that he loathes the odor Of the intoxicating
draught now. Late last night he was confding
his experiences to a drummer for one Of the
largest liquor houses in the United States.
The strange part OF the story is that the whisky
man took up the temperance end Of the discus
sion and the ex-inebriate argued for the
liquor dealer. The travelling salesman declared
warmly that ii was the duty Of the government
to erect great hospitals for the cure of drunken
ness and then to shut up every rum mill in the
land He desplsed the stuff. 1t WAS response
bic for nine-,enths of the crimes and wrongs OF
the world. Alcohol no good. The clerk
called him fanatic. said that the saloon was
blessing and a necessity. and that sumptuary
laws were un-American. In telling the treat
ment through which he passed he said that no
cure could be effected in the OF those
patients who persisted in the use of cigarettes
and certain brands of tobacco which contained
opium. The cigarette habit had to be aban-
doned before treatment would be proceeded
with.

OF woe. She called the clerk to one side and
said that she a native Of and hailed from
Nebraska; that she came to Washington during
the latter part OF the last administration to
accept an Office which had been promised her
by western Congressman and that she had
been disappointed. The member Of Congress,
in whom she had reposed such confidence. had
abused her affections and discarded her. She
said that she was hungry and wanted a position
rs a domestic in the hotel. For six days she
bad dieted on crackers and water. She said
that hunger forced her to take this step and
that she was willing TO work In the hotels she
had patronized in her more prosperous days.
Tears tricked down her pretty checks AZ she
told her story. The sympathetic STAR man

pected to find DEVILS Den utterly annihilated

the den, and there are rocks enough there to
pave all the streets Of New York, Boston, Phila-

Gen. Sick!es, in his circular. advised US not

heart, we couldn't do such a thing II we wanted
