ALLEGED DISCRETION.
Accusations Made by Mrs. Mcbride
Against Her Husband

Mrs. Mcbride, wife of Harry c. Mcbride.
who was recently employed in connection
with the smallpox service addressed a
note to Inspector Boardman today asking
1o' information concerning her husband
Her complaint was that he had deserted
her and their two children, and gone off
with a girl. only sixteen years old, who,
she said. lives in Clinton (SurrattsviIle),
Prince Georges county, Md
A friend of the Mcbride family who de-
iivered the note to Inspector Boardman
told Star reporter that he had investi-
gated the case. Mrs. Mcbride, he said
lives at No. 2O55 9TH street northwest
where she is left without funds Her hus-
band was employed in the smallpox service,
he said. and yesterday he received his pay
about $50. The girl in the case has been
visiting her grandfather in TIN, city near
where Mcbride worked. During the course
Of his employment there he ate his meals
at a place near by, and it was during meal
time that he made the acquaintance of the
girl.
The grandfather. it is stated, had warned
the girl to have nothing to do with Mo
Bride, but his warnings were not needed.
1t is reported that late yesterday after
room the alleged runaway girl got together
what clothing she had and left the house
Inspector BOardman read the note from
Mrs. Mcbride and informed the bearer of
il that he could do nothing in the matter
unless some law IS violated.

such knowledge would go a long way in
the business of the sorcerer who makes a

the Chippewa that diseases are caused by

health and personal safety is supposed to
attach to certain trees etc, which are en-
ployed in the making of houses utensils
and weapons, because Of the magical prop

The Chippewa sorcerers seem to have a
considerable knowledge of poisons, by
means of which they are able to inflct
death or various other physical punishments
upon persons whom they dislike. One
of their connections is made Of parts of
several plants, together with rattlesnake
blood. The serpent to be used for this pur-

Counter Charges.
Mr.. Dawson charges that his wife has

at him. He has always been kind and

trusting in her honesty and faithfulness as

and b. the time he was eighteen had writ
ten two novels. Then, with what assist
arce his relatives were able to give him
and his own earnings from journalistic
writing, he was able to go to the Uniyer-
sty of Madrid.
The young man prepared himself for an
educational career. Soon after he had fin
ished his work as a student an exarnina-
ton was held to fill the professorship of
history and philosophy in the university

all his older competitors and became a full

five.
Like almost every change in his career.
Castelar's first appearance in public life
was made under dramatic circumstances
| He had gone to attend a liberal meeting in
! the Theater del Oriente. At that time he
had never made a speech in his life, did
not know that ne could make one. But,
as the meeting progressed, he became so
excited that he rushed to the tribune and
delivered an address which sent the au-
dience wild with enthusiasm.
That event made Castelar, a wel-known
man, and. more important, it revealed him
the most important liberal paper in Ma
drid. Two years later he founded a paper
of his own. La Democracia
Condemned to Death.
BY his speeches and writings CASTELAR,
helped to bring about the revolution of
1855. When that failed his paper was sup
pressed and he was condemned to death.
| He received warning, however in time to
escape into Switzerland. Two years later

His Early Life.

Castelar, was born at CadiZ in 1882. He
came naturally by his liberal principles.
His father had been forced to leave the
country to escape a sentence of death fer
participating in liberal movements. Like
Canovas Sagasta and Costello. this youth
who was TO become the tribune of the peo-
pie had to make his own way in the world.
He early displayed his Intellectual powers
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1899-06-03

The first time met him he spoke in elo
quent terms OF his admiration for our own
country. From this the talk ranged
naturally to the cause of liberty, and its
advancement in all parts Of the world. AS
he talked on and on he became more en-
tkusiastiC and kept moving closer to me as
we sat together on IA divan and finally he
took hold of the lapels of my coat. at the
climax of some point he had been leading
up to, and shook me violently though to
force the truth home to ME in such way
that | could never forget it.
Similarly in walking along the street
have known him to pause and deliver a
regular speech. with all the infections and
gestures that he employed in the chamber.
1t was simply the innate enthusiasm of the
man which carried him entirely out of
himself That the basis of his Won
derful power as an orator.
