MISS POOK,s CASE.

There are practically no new develop
ments today in the case of Miss Pook, the
daughter Of Chief Naval Constructor s. N.
Peck. retired. who was arraigned in a police
court in New York last Friday as being in.
sane. Miss Pook had left Washington in
order to be with young man named Henry
Brandon. with whom she is said to be in
fatuated. 1t was alleged that she was suf-
fer-ng under the hallucination that her role
in life was to prevent the young man from
committing suicide, and the charge against
her was brought by her brother-in-law, Mr..
G.. p. rockingham of this city, for the
sake OF having her committed, that she
might be brought back to her parents In
this city.
Miss Pook left her boarding house on
East Goth street. New York. some time Sat
urday and it was said that her where
abouts were unknown. Her father re.
giving her present address, and was busily
engaged today trying to find some way of
getting her back. Mr.. rockingham re-
turned to the city Saturday. but brought no
satisfactory news. Capt. Pook said to
Star reporter this morning that he was sat
isfied his daughter is not in her right mind
This was the most charitable construction
to put on her recent actions.
I'VE deeply regret the publicity which the
case has attracted continued Capt. Pook
'1t was our hope that the hearing would be
a private one and that we could have got
our daughter back without the story get
ting in the papers. This would have hap
pened but for the stupidity of the man who
made the arrest. Mr.. rockingham was
within call of the court, and if he had been
summoned. am sure she would have been
committed, and we should now have her
back again. But he was not apprised of her
arrest, and the result was that she was
dismissed. and all our labors went for moth
ing. She was to have gone to court and
back again in a carriage, and the judge had
promised a private hearing. However, we
hope to have her back soon again. and ]
trust that you will say as little about the
case in The Star as is possible.

THE YOUNG WILL CASE.
Testimony Today Showing That Tes-
tator Was Of Sound Mind.

Testimony Today Showing That Tes-
tatOr Was Of Sound Mind.
Hearing Of the contest involving the valid
ity of the will Of the late James E. Young
was continued today before Judge Cole in
Criminal Court No. 2. DR.. William H.
Hawkes., consulting physician during the
last illness of the testator. was the first wit
ness, and he testified that at the time the
will was made Mr.. Young, in the opinion of
witness, was of sound and disposing mind.
DIR. Hawkes. was followed by Mrs. Mar
garet Adams of 312 14th street southwest,
who stated that she waited on James E.
Young and provided his meals for him dur
irg the sickness which resulted in death.
Mrs. Adams, according to her statement,
was almost constantly with Mr.. Young, and
she considered him of sound mind. Testi-
mony to the same effect was given by Mrs.
Croghan, a professional nurse, and recess
was then taken.
1t was inadvertently stated in The Star
Thursday last that the will of the late James
e. Young, now contested, contained a be-
quest of $1,000 to the First Presbyterian
Church of this city. In reality the provision
referred to was made by the late John M.
Young, a brother and beneficiary of James
E.. in his will dated June 90 1894. At the
conclusion of the present hearing it Is I'M
derstood that a contest is to be made on
the will of John NJ. Young.

ADJUSTMENTS.

Boston Symphony Orchestra.-The IN
terest which is being manifested In the COM
ing season of the Boston Symphony orches-
ira is universal among those who dehght IN
good music in this city. At every appear
ance of the orchestra in this city there has
been apparent this selfsame interest and ap-
probation that has stimulated the aggrega-
ton to its best efforts, and has made last
ing impression upon the minds of those who
would cry down Washington's musical taste.
There have been forty-two concerts ny the
Boston Symphony Orchestra in this city
from the first one, held in Congregational
Church. to the season which Is Just about TO
open at Metzerott Hall. The first concert
was on the 18th of April, 1856, when the Or
ganization came here under the leadership
of Herr Gericke. Since that time there has
been a never-ceasing, unwavering devotion
to the organization, until the present sea-
son bids fair to outstrip all others in both
musical and a financial way. The music
lovers of this city have seen number of
different conductors, and 1T Is hard matter
to say which has been the most popular.
Gericke and Nikisch had their followers. but
the present leader Mr.. Emil Paur, seems to
be just as much at home any of his pre-
decessors in his visits to this city. The his
tory of the Boston Symphony Orchestra is
also a history Of the development of the
musical taste of Washington. From soli-
tary concert during the long season, the de-
mand has made possible a series Of concerts
during the same season, one every month,
and it Is due to the efforts of the orchestra
more than any other outside agency that
this effect has been brought about. Some of
the most prominent soloists of the time in
every branch of musical art have appeared
here with the Boston Symphony Orchestra,
and the list is notable in more than one re-
spect. There is no other musical organiza-
ton in the western hemisphere that can
compete with this orchestra in any way, and
Washingtonians are fully alive to it's merits
and the appreciation which is due to It, The
sale of seats for this season will commence
tomorrow morning at MetZerott's.
