CLERKS MIND TROUBLED
Went to the White House at Early Hour
This Morning.
His Actions Caused His Arrest-Taken
to Emergency Hospital, He
Makes Disclosures.

Abraham Springsteen, clerk in the Post
Office Department, called at the White
House this morning about o'clock and
his actions were so peculiar that Sergeant
Bryan took charge of him. The mans state
ments were to the effect that he had at
tempted suicide by swallowing a mixture of
laudanum. For this reason he was taken
to the Emergency Hospital, where he is
now under treatment.
Dr. Tompkins, whose specially is the
treatment of nervous diseases has charge
of the patient. When Springsteen reached
the hospital his mind seemed to be unbal-
arced, and the doctors were unable to get
any information from him other than his
name. There was nothing developed to in
dicate that he had attempted suicide A
bottle partly filed with the laudanum mix
tuEe was found on Sprirgsteen and he said
ne might have taken some of it, as he has

SIX HUNDRED PRESENT.
Reception Given to the Members of
the " NJ, c, A,


An enjoyable evening was spent by some
800 members Of the Young Mems Chris
tian Association last evening at a reception
to members given in the building OF the
association, on G street between nth and
18th streets. All of the spacious building
was placed at the disposal Of the guests,
and the arrangements were admirably
planned.
The gymnasium was cleared of its appa-
ratuss and here an entertainment was
given. The program was follows: Eu-
phonium solo. "Cavalleria Rusucana." C.
II. Henneyi vocal solo. Sword of Bunker
Kimmell; solo, Lovers Three" Sam Cross;
solo, Out on the Deep" B, Frank Myers;
selections. Y. NJ. c. A. Mandolin Club; vocal
selections Prof. ]. d. McFalls, and march,
Y: N. c: A: orchestra, under Prof. d. B:
Macleod. Throughout the early part OF
the evening the Y. NJ. C. A. Orchestra en-
tertained the company. A luncheon was
served after the entertainment.
Each visitor was invited to record his
name and the state from which he hailed
on ballot prepared for that purpose and
deposit in one OF several boxes located in
different portion of the building. The object
of this was to ascertain how the membership
of the association was distributed geograph-
tcally, and to bring members who hailed
from the same state together. The latter
Idea was furthered by having each guest
wear on the lapel Of his coat card bear
Ing his name and the name of his state.

ULCERS FOR
81 YEARS.
ELEVEN ON ONE LIMB AT ONE TINE WITH
EXCRuCIATING PAIN. ALL REMEDIES

CURES

My mother has been 2 victim to ulcers from
varicose veins for thrty-fve years. Eleven of
these terrible sores have existed at one time on
the limb affected. EXcruciating pain and intense
suffering were endured. with all sorts of remedies
on trial and numberless physicians calls and pre-
scrptions applied, but all practically with but
little benefit. However. at last the remedial agent
was found in CUTICURA ointment. which surely
proved its weight in gold alternating pain and
causing healing processes to commence and a cure
speedily effected. She has, also, used CIrTICURA
with marked benefit in erysipelas of the face and
eczema. The CUTTCURA SOAP also has estab-
lished record only the best cleansing purify

O most excellent and valuable auxiliary to the

MISS PITTS LECTURE.-Miss Pitts lee
ture last evening at the Washington Col
iege of Law on The Struggle With the
Danes dealt with a little-known but ex-
early English history The toilsome re-
covery of A1freds children and grandchil-
dren OF the territory lost to the Danes In
his reign and the slow assimilation by
which these barbarous mortimer were in
corporated into the national life of the En-
glfsh furnished the thread of the lecture.
The narrative was closely interviewer with
accounts OF the social conditions TO Whicn
these wars gave rise; Of the dangers ana
necessities that gradually evolved feudal
Institutions as source of military strength
less: of the foundation of guilds as safe
guard against public disorder; OF the Gu
rious laws by which business honesty was
preserved and personal violence restrained
1t was made apparent that underlying all
these issues the keystone of the national
structure throughout the century lay in
the firm policy of national unity and ma
tional honor consistently followed out by
all the kings of Alfred's house, remark
able race of men, whose tndomftable pur-
pose left its lasting influence upon the des-
TIMES of the nation, despite the fra1lty OF
grave before he had passed the meridian of
life.
PADEREWSKI.-No pianist in recent
years has created such a furore as lgnace
Paderewski. Wherever he appears, par
ticularly when he offers a recital, the VIZ
tuoso is sure of an enthusiastic reception,
alike from amateur and professional musl-
Clans Two or three of his contemporaries
may perhaps equal If they do not apsolute-
ly surpasS him in the Interpretation or the
subtler works Of certain composers notably
Beethoven, but take Paderewskl all round,
that is to say, compare him with others in
a program drawn from number OF sources
and he will be found to have no rival. His
method is refined, his sympathy so evil
dent and his technique go perfect, that ne
charms even on the occasions when he may
fail to convince. Beyond all this, he brings
Intellectual faculties no less than executive
skill to bear upon every work undertaken,
and this is the secret of Paderewskfs sue
cess He will give his only recital in this
city at the Columbia Theater on next Tues
day afternoon, at 4:15 o'clock. The sale Of
seats at Drops, has already been very
large and there is every evidence that his
popularity is fully as great as when he paid
his first visit to this city.
