RICH But BEGGED MEDICINE
Retired Merchant Asks Charity
Treatment at a Hospital.
Only One of Hundreds of Instances
In Which the Emergency
Is Imposed Upon.

rich retired business man OF WASH
ington called at the Emergency Hospital
dispensary Wednesday as a beggar for
medicines intended only for the extremely v
poor. And there are others who viii be
exposed III due time. A rich mendicant
merchant figuring in the role OF robber
oil paupers, however, is a note worthy case.
The meanest, and unfortunately not the
least numerous. OF the impOstOrs on public
charity are probably those OF whom COM
plant Is made at the Emergency Hospital.
This uncharitahle abuse OF the privileges
OF the poor was commented on by one
or the board or managers OF the Enler-
gency Hospital on Tuesday night, when
he said that the cases OF imposition ran
up into the hundreds
A reporter for The Times called at the
hospital last night and had talk with
Dr. Lawrence of the house staff 1t was
found that the case had been by no means
exaggerated. DIR. Lawrence said that
there were very many cases which lie had
no doubt on proper investigation would be
found to be unworthy OF the fayors given
by the dispensary. 1t was both a diff
cult and delicate matter to discriminate
between applicants, the authorities pre-
ferring to err on the safe and humane
side in all matters OF doubt.
No medicines are, however given until
the applicant has been examined so far
as is possible at the time OF application.
The Questions are usually asked by the
matron i'll charge, who has had i great
deal OF experience and who has succeeded
IN unmasking some OF TIT impOsters not
only by their manner but by their answers
to questions.
one question which appears to settle
good many cases is the simple one: Are
you pauper?' "A condition which would
entitle any applicant to prompt relief 1t
is an embarrassing question. but the OBJ
ject or this great charity W as for Just such
cases, and for others which may be deemed
to be worthy.
People who enter the Emergency Hos
pital are confronted with the sign re-
Gently put up to the effect that the charities
or the dispenSary are only for the needy
poor. This, however, has not deferred
the many who have imposed on the in>ti-
tuition The ex-merchant who made ap-
plication above referred 10, it is said. is
only one OF a number of cases.
1t has been suggested that the Asso-
ciated Charities. which has a substantially
correct list or the deserving poor OF the
city could aid the dispenSary people in
detecting and exposing these frauds one
of the trustees Of the dispensary has in
fact made this suggestion To the charities
and cooperation will doubtless be Of
benefit to both institutions.

She Will Conduct Salvation Army
Meetings Here.

Mrs. Booth-Tucker, who. with her hus-
band, is now in command of the Salvation
Army in the United States, will be here
from New York on Saturday, to conduct
special meetings at Foundry Church. -Four
teenth and q streets, Sunday morning
and Sunday evening, and at Calvary Bap-
tist Church. corner OF Eighth ana II streets,
Sunday afternoon. She will be assisted
by Brigadier Alice Lewis, Of New York;
Brigadier William Evans. OF Philadelphia;
Staff Capt. Blanche Cox and other promi-
nent army staff officers in these meetings.
Mrs. Tucker has never spoken in Wash
ington before, although she made great
impression at the Washington GrDcc camp
meeting last summer, but her reputation a
a great Salvation Army leader OF life long
and world wide experience has made her
well known here. Those who heard her
at Washington Grove camp meeting re-
allied tnaG she had much OF the power and
eloquence of that remarkable woman, Mrs.
General Booth, who was her mother. and
also the mother of the Salvation Army"
Mrs Booth Tucker has spoken ill all
the large cities of the United states from
New York to San Francisco TO large
audiences and alwa ysdraws crowded houses
when she speaks in New York city. At
the Carnegie Hall meeting two weeks ago,

Frances f. Willard, from Marseilles, Mrs.
Booth fuckers address was generally re-
garded as the most eloquent. although
besides Commander Booth-Tucker, DR..
Josiah Strong, Mr.. Ira ID. Sankey, Mr. b.
Fay Mills, DIR. David j. Burrell and DR.
Grace himball were among the speakers.
This was the meeting to which Mr. .,ia'i-
st one, Mayor Strong, Justice Brewer,
Bishop Satterlee, Dr. Talmage, Lyman
Abbott and other prominent men sent fuch
strong messages Of sympathy. Commander
and Mrs. Booth Tucker have been very Sue
cessful in their administration OF the Ameri-
can army, which is now in better condition
than ever before, especially in introducing
here branches of phila nthropic effort which
have been long established by the army in
other countries, such as the work for
prisoners and eX-convicts, and the Mercy
BOX League for furnishing funds for such
work, which now numbers 0,00O HEM
bers, each contributing at least one cent
a week for the charitable work of the army.

Loose-fronted jackets are not going out
by any means. But every woman likes to
own a tailor made coat, and this fits as
snugly as her house bodice. The cuffs of the
tailor made coat become very tight at the
wrists. The lining is precisely the shade
of the coat. and there is a very ''trig'
general effect.

REV. TALMAGE
ON SILVER.
HE SEES RENEWED PROSPERITY
lNITS VICTORY.
He Gives His Views Freely, But Is Not
Partisan.-Says tho South Is A.
most to Man in Favor OF the
White Metal

'If the silver people win, believe there
will be such revival In business, such
booming In industries. which arc now mac
tive, and such general shaking up of COM
mercial interests that tho country will be
sure to prosper
These words were spoken by tho Rev. DR..
T. De Witt TalmaSe, as Easthamptou, l.. l.,
after long tour OF the Southern States.
Tho reverend gentleman Is keen observer
and caa see which way the wind blows as
quickly and with rs much certainty rs tho
shrewdest of politicians. He does not only
preach to the people. but he mingles with
them. feeling the popular pulse and search
ing tho hearts of his countrymen.
DR.. Talmage arrived ut Easthampton on
Friday last from Chnutauqua. where he had
attended m educational convention. Not
only In the big cities did the Doctor mipgle
with the residents but in remote and SPARSE
ly populated districts and In minor townships
end villages.
Outing my entire trip" he said, II did
not find moro than one or two men who were
not silyerites. The unanimity was astound-
ing. The sentiment down South is univer-
sally for the white metal. Bryan and Sewall
will get very largo vote from that section
OF the country"
DR.. Talmage is too little or too much OF a
politician to come out flat-footed for free sill
yer, but his utterances are perhaps sufIl-
ciently significant to show the tendencies of
his personal feelings
"My associations and training and my
political affiliations OF the past place me on,
the side CT single standard" j" no cautiously
said and then as n twinkle came into his eye
he added: "But certainly believe that in
stead OF disaster and ruin following In the
wake OF the silver movement, the opposite
will be the result.
II am not advocating that side OF the poit-
ical question:" said the diplomatic divine
''but do not believe, with good many Of
my Chr:stian friends, that in the success Of
that movement the country will greatly suf-
fer
''1Hhis is a strong nation" no added. "Wo
are Engaged in n great political campaign,
and II will i'll benefit mo to be strong par
tisan on either side. There are honest Chris
tian. patriotic men on both sides, and the life
of the country and welfare of its interests
