NnIued at 500.

The police were yesterday notified Of
several robberies. The saloon of S. E.
Cox, 1891 II Street northeast was entered
Saturday night at late hour by means
of jimmy or other instrument used on
a rear window The thief made hasty
search for vaIuables and took possession
of about SIS in cash and a revolver. Ap-
parently he left by the way he came.
There is no clue to his identity.
Joseph Huhux. who has a fiat at 321
Missouri Avenue northwest, says he was

46S Pennsylvania Avenue northwest, and
was returning home, when he suddenly

him. Somebody suggested that he go to
the hospital, but he declined and went
home instead. Shortly afterward he
found that his pocketboOk, containing

he thought he had been drugged, but did
not clearly remember taking any drinks
during the evening.
Another robbery was reported by Mrs.
b. l.. Palmer, of 100 Thirteenth Street

that while on her way from Twelfth and
T Streets northwest to Eighth Street and

Mrs. Palmer says she was in a crowd
along F Street and also on the Avenue,
but she has no idea how the brooch was
taken.
Every effort is being made by the de-
tectives to protect the crowds OF spring
shoppers that continually thrOng the
downtown department stores. In some

occasionally men, are careless in handling

SCIENCE AND SENTIMENT.
W. ID. MaciSenzic's Lecture Before
the Secular Lengue.

before the Secular League yesterday
afternoon, Mr.. w. d. Mackenzie, read a
paper on Science and Spiritual Life
lie referred to the rapid growth of ply
steal science in the last half century and
. its influence in revolutionizing the meth
DDS Of transportation, industry, and art,
and in increasing material comforts. He
referred to the intellectual progress
/ which has accompanied the development
/ Of science, but suggested that it was pos
sible to place too great an emphasis on
/ intellect and on science, the child of in
/ tellect. He added
AT least two of the greatest scientists
! Of the last century have testified from
I personal experience that man cannot live
by intellect alone. 1t is said that Darwin
in his later years expressed regret that he
had devoted his life so exclusively to
scientific observation that he had lost
ali capacity for the enjoyment of poetry
or art. John Stuart Mill in his autobiog-
raphy describes a crisis in his life. when
he reached the conclusion that the habit
OF analysis had tendency to wear away
the feelings, and how he found in poetry
the necessary corrective
The sneaker discussed the theory of rrtiI-
itarianism and pointed out that scientific
less without a certain joy in individual
ness of all human and Sentent life He
mentioned various emotions or emotional
habits which are essential to night living
among others hope, trust, and courage
He referred to anxiety and worry as emo
uOnal habits, which not only interfere
with the enjoyment Of life but tend to
shorten life by their injurious effects on
the physical functions OF sleep and nutri-
tiOn.
MIR. Mackenzie passed in review the al
truistic. esthetic, and intellectual feel
ings. and traced the development Of the
moral sentiments or conscience. He de
scrlbed various types Of character ac-
cording TO the ruling passion or life mo-
ar the artist, the patriot and the humani-
tartan.
The crowning element IN the human
soul, without which correct belief. strong
sEmpathies, and sense Of duty are power
less be said is strength of will that
element which enables man to overcome
resistance and 20 peTseVeTc until his aims
are accomplished. Closely allied to will
power are the splendid qualities Of self
control. fidelity, and heroism.
In well rounded character. the scien-
tiiic spirit OF judicial temperament is
found in conjunction with strong and
variation from this ideal is the oyer-emo-
tional type IN which the feelings are al
lowed TO trcspass on the domain OF the
intellect, resulting in prejudice bigotry,
and injustice.
An animated discussion followed the
lecture, participated in by DR.. Stiner
M McCreery. Dr. Cronut. Mr. Burr, Mr. /
White Major PeChin. MT. Hogarty, and /
other members of the society.

such number, and persons living at sos
First Street, say they know nothing about

All the more mystery seems TO attach
to the case, because there is apparently
TO motive for suicide by the stranger. He
is neatly attlred, with every evidence OF
being in comfortable circumstances. He
is about twenty-five years of age. Well
built, muscular, with smooth face and
dark hair.
Shortly after noon the man was stroll
ing along Fifteenth Street above Pennsyl-
vania Avenue northwest. There were sew
eral persons near him. and when he sud
denly reeled and fell. no time was lost by
those about in going to his assistance.
one man ran down Fifteenth Street to
the Emergency Hospital, and told the
physician that man was dying in the

that he was the victim of poisoning. and

No papers to identify the stranger were
found in his clothing, but when he finally
regaiued consciousness, he gave the name
of Larue and the address noted 1t is
thought his identity may become known
