AWAIT WORD FROM RELATIVES.
Mrs. Dennis to Remain Temporarily
in Garfield Hospital.

No definite action has Yet been taken to-
ward transferring Mrs. Ada Gilbert Dennis
from Garfield Hospital TO the Hospital for
the Insane. That she is hopelessly bereft
of reason all the physicians in the case
agree. and it is their belief she should be
put under treatment in an institution for
care of the insane. Mr.. Silas Merchant,
whose wife was appointed by the court to
look after the affairs of Mrs. Dennis called
on Sanitary officer Frank today to say that
his wife did not want her friend committed
to an asylum. He was assured that the
inquiry was started for the purpose OF
doing the best that could be done for the
victim of the brutal assault. The ply
sicians in charge of Garfield Hospital, Mr..
Merchant stated, are willing to keep the
patient under treatment there. Mrs. Den
mis- is no longer in the ward on the second
floor where she was confined during her
illness. She has been placed on the third
floor Of the institution building. where her
grOans and screams will not disturb other
patients as when she was on the lower
floor
Relatives of Mrs. Dennis who live in the
vicinity of Gettysburg will be notified, and
until they are heard from no further action
in the case will be taken. Mrs. Dennis is
completely paralyZed on the right side and
her face is drawn to one side so much That
her nearest friends or relatives would hard
Iy be able to recognize her. AS she Is not
an INDECENT patient her case would not be
treated in the ordinary way. The author
tiles will not take the initiative in the mat
ter of sending her TO the asylum unless the
time comes when the Garfield Hospital au-
thorities feel that they cannot longer care
for her. Should she be sent over to the
Hospital for the Insane at this time she
would go there as a pay patient. the eX'
penSe to be borne by her estate. Her rela-
tives may take her to a Maryland insti-

Subject Of Complaint.

The District Commissioners recently re-
ceived a complaint from D. ]. -Cotter of
1906 both street northwest of the annoy
ance caused by the use of soft coal in
an apartment house on u street near Both.
He said fuel was stored in a ten-foot al
ley, obstructing it. The complaint was re-
ferred to the police department, and Lieut..
Swindeiis of the Georgetown precinct, has
submitted report in which he says
the alley is obstructed perhaps once in
eight or ten days by the delivery of coal
there in large quantities. The coal is re-
moved as speedily as possible However
the lieutenant has notified the coal dealer
to be more careful in the future and not
to unload too much coal at one time.
In the complaint 1t was also stated that
paper was constantly burned in the fur
mace of the apartment house. Lieut.. Swim
dells says in regard to this that the only
paper burned is the waste which accumu-
lates in the building each day.

"REMINISCENCES OF JAS. L. ORR.
He Knew Everybody and Everybody Liked Him.
Story Full Of Interest.

..
The sketch of "James l.. Orr,
Congressman, speaker, Confederate
Senator, Judge and minister to Rus
sia," by Col. A. X. Mcclure, which
appeared recently in the Philadel-
phia Record, induces me to relate a
few personal recollections of the
great man. | donot know that he
knew me, but / suppose he did from
the fact that had been employed in
a store in Anderson for more than
two years just prior to his departure
to Russia, (Roosha, he pronounced
it). He had known my father all his
life, and in his young manhood he
was first lieutenant of the Anderson
Military Company, which an uncle of
mine commanded, and besides all
this, Judge Orr, who had habit of
knowing everybody, would hardly let
a young man of nineteen remain in
his home town two years without
locating him.
Along then newspapers rasped him
good deal for his political leanings,
and the degree OF cstracism in which
his townspeople placed him was just
enough to be observable to the out
slider.
1t is evident that this wounded
him, for, conscious of his own recti-
tude and sincerity, it panied him that
his own people, with whom and for
whom he had been spent, could not
or would not understand him.
When at home from his rounds of
the circuit he rarely went up town,
and while he called at few places, he
seemed never to fail to drop in upon
his old friend, Baylis Clark, who
then ran tailoring establishment
about where Whites drug store now
is. Here and there in the town were
men who did not suffer politics to
disturb personal relations, notably
o. I'll. P. FAINT, with whom, in his
office at the old depot, Judge Orr
spent much of his little leisure, but
these could have been counted on the
fingers of one hand.
But time reconcled all these es-
time is mighty good
healer--and when Judge Orr got
ready to start on his long journey to
the Russian Court his old friends, all
of whom had gotten back into line,
gave him a farewell send off, sort of
bon voyage, at the old Waverly
House, where the Chiquola now
stands. 1t was a quiet affair and for
that reason all the more hearty and
sincere there had been no prelimi-
nary trumpeting, as the custom Low
is, and echoes on the streets the fol-
lowing morning was the first intima-
tion many had that meeting had
been held. Stephen McCully, MIN
Sullivan, Sylvester Bleckley, Elijah
Webb, Baylis Crayton, Baylis Clark,
Scotch John Wilson, Perry FAINT
and many others were there. Most of
these made talks expressive of their
confidence and esteem and of their
pride and part in the new honor that
had come to him. When it came
Judge Orr's time to talk be was
deeply moved and he could i'll con.
ceal his emotions. He had, he said,
in the course of his public career ad-
dressed large, cultured and critical
assemblies; he had enjoyed the COW
eted, the exalted honor of presiding
over the National House of Repre-
! sen.aa..::@eeess aeee eee its speaker, j: would
soon fall to his lot to have audience
