MISS STONES LECTURE.
Tells the Story of Experiences as a
Captive Among Brigands.

Before a representative gathering or
Washington residents, Miss Ellen M. Stone,
the American missionary who was captured
by brigands in Turkey last year, and VINO
was recently released made her first pub
lie appearance in this city last evening at
the First Congregational Church. The lady
was introduced to the large assemblage by
Rev. DR.. S. NJ. Newman, pastor of the
church, who told of the good work Miss
Stone has done in European countries.
In the preface to her address Miss Stone
told of the corruption and misrule which
exists in the present government OF Tur-
key, and said that as long as the relgnlng
dynasty remained in power brigandage WILL
exist. She expressed great gratitude T.
President Roosevelt and all others who aid
ed in her release She said Madame Tsilka
and herself knew of nothing that was being
done for them until many days after their
capture, when she received a letter from
friend in Macedonia She declared that all
Europe is watching with interest the action
to be pursued by the United States in re-
gard to her capture.
Miss Stone related the story of the cap
ture of Madame Tsilka and herself, and de-
scribed wildly the hurried march to the
lofty mountains. The speaker said she did
not expect the American Board of Mission
airy Societies to ransom her for the reason
that 1t was well understood that mission
aries who are captured by brigands have
to look out for themselves. She said the
brigands were ever watchful over their cap
tives, and that when she>was Informed she
was being held for a ransom of $4,000
she told the brigands it was absurd to
think they would get that amount. She
told them they should have captured a
millionaire's daughter, and perhaps they
would have received that amount for her
release. She spoke of the great joy that
came into her heart wteii she received the
first news of the efforts that were being
made in her behalf.
Miss Stone said among those who worked
hardest, most faithfully and with the best
results in her behalf was a former Wash
ington lady, the daughter of General Beale,
now Madame Bakmetiff, a resident Of Bull
garia. The speaker described her expert
ences Thanksgiving day, Christmas and
New Years day in captivity. She also re-
lated the story of the fight between two
bands Of brigands for the possession of
Madame Tsilka and herself
After the lecture large number of stere-
opticon views of various buildings, scenes
and types of Inhabitants and brigands of
Turkey were shown.

DETECTIVES DETAILED.
Investigation Being Made of a Sup
posed Robbery.

Detectives Horne and Hartigan have been
detailed by Capt. Boardman to make an
investigation Of the case of the Adams Ex-
press car that was supposed to have been
robbed at an early hour yesterday. The
car reached here from Baltimore about
o'clock in the morning, and a railroad en-
ploye soon afterward discovered that the
seal had been broken. An investigation
showed that number of boxes and trunks
had been opened as stated in The Star yes
terday, and their contents scattered about
the car. 1t is believed the people who COM
mitted the depreciation were looking for
money 1t is also believed that the car was
entered in Baltimore, the train made but
{ ne stop on its way here.
II is impossible to tell whether or not
anything was taken. The matter will be
reported to the Baltimore police.

lean Society, and chief engineer of the
United States navy. Admiral Melville was
born in New York city January 10, 1S41;
was educated in the public schools in New
York and a the Brooklyn Polytechnic In
stitute; served an apprenticeship in an en-
gineerng establishment in Brooklyn en-
tered the United States navy July %, 1861,
as third assistant engineer; became chief
engineer in 1881 and engineer-in-c hief of
the navy in 1887. In the latter position he
has contributed largely to the building up
OF the new United States navy.
The most important of his designs as an
engineer is that of the triple-screw ma
chinery for two-shift cruisers. He has also
developed a plan for increasing the speed
of ships by Iengthening the smokestacks.
During the civil war he frequently volun-

joined the Jeanette arctic expedition.
After the Jeanette was crushed in the ice
and he had conveyed the crew of his own
boat to place of safety he conducted
search. amid the greatest hardships, for
the crews of the other boats. The story of
this experience is told in his book, In the
Lena Delta" For his heroic conduct in
these circumstances Congress. in 1890
passed a special act advancing him one
grade.
