MENTALLY UNBALANCED.
Young Man Believed to Have Injured
Mind by Study.

young man from Covington, Ind,
named John H. Henselman was arrested
last night by Detectives Hartigan and
Horne upon the allegation by his friends
that he was suffering from a slight mental
disturbance resulting from strict atten-
ton to his studies at the University of
Michigan. The young man was stylishly
dressed. He imagined he was worth many
millions of dollars. He spent last night
in a witness room at the first precinct po-
lice station.
Henselman went to Dakota after leaving
college, 1t is said. and became interested
in patents. Thinking he was not being
properly treated there he wrote letter to
President Roosevelt and then came on it
1t believed, to see the President in person.
He reached here Saturday and went about
the city sightseeing. Money was no OBJ
ject to him apparently. He gave up IS
notes where ntckels would have answered
the purpose. The young man was found
last night at a hotel. His uncle called on
the police and arranged to send him home.
1t is believed that Detective Hartigan will
accompany him as far as Cincinnati, where
relatives will meet him.

Fuel Experiments Discontinued.

The work of tearing down the big boiler
on the 9Th street wharf which was used by
the naval authorities in their experiments
with oil as fuel has commenced, and the
pipe connections are nearly all removed. 1t
is stated that the boiler and the house that
covers it will be sent to the Louiana pur-
chase exposition and will form a part of
the naval exhibit.
There is general pleasure expressed at the
steamboat offices and plants in the vicinity
of the boiler at the stoppage of the ex-
periments, 1t being stated that when the
boiler was being run with forced draft the
roar of the escaping steam was terrific and
deafened all who were employed in its vi
cinitV.
The torpedo boat Rodgers. which has been
lying at the Sth street wharf for the past
year. was taken out by Lieut.. Nelligan for
a short trial trip on the river Saturday
afternoon to try her boilers. A run was
made to Alexandria and the boat returned
to the Sth street wharf. She leaves here, as
stated, tomorrow morning for Norfolk.

. REoPEN1Na OF CHURCH.
First II. p. Congregation Worships in
improved Edif1ce,

Special services were held at the First
Methodist Protestant Church yesterday
morning, afternoon and evening to mark
the reopening Of the edifice. which has been
closed since last fall, undergoing extensive
repairs. There were large congregations at
each service. Rev. DR.. F. T. Tagg of Bal
timore delivered the sermons at both morn
ing and evening services and in the after
noon the local clergymen of the Methodist
Protestant denomination made addresses.
The Choir, under the direction of Mr.. c. F.
Stanley, with Mr.. ]. Harry Dove as or
ganist, rendered special music at each
service.
Dr. Taggs sermon in the morning was in
the nature of dedicatory discourse. He
took for his subject THE witnessing
Church." and mentioned the characteristics
of such church He declared that church
is a Christian home 1t is not club, not
an ecclesiastical firm, not religious cor
poration, but a family home. He stated
that he had little patience with the word
liberal in its common use as applied to
churches. Zone of the most rational and
stately words in the language is the word
orthodox" said the preacher. 1T means
to think right not you please, not as
passion, prejudice, pride. parsimony may
dictate. 1t is the churches that believe
something, and believe that in believing
1t they are right, absolutely right, and that
all who differ are eternally wrong-these
are the churches that move the world. A
church that is AFRAID of a creed, afraid of
its own statement of truth, as it sees it, is
fabby and useless church and is dead. 1
wish for the day when creed members and
Bible members may be ostracised and cast
off,
Rev. DR.. w. s. Hammond. who had been
expected to deliver an address at the after
noon service, was detained in Baltimore by

DANGERS OF MATRIMONY.
Rev. ]. M. Gill Disapproves Thought
less Marriages.

Rev J. M. Gill, pastor of the Rhode Is
land Avenue Methodist Protestant Church.
last evening delivered a sermon on the SUBJ
ject THE Dangers of Matrimony" before
large congregation. He declared that too
little thought is given to matrimony before
entering into that relation. Some men, said
the preacher, marry for beauty, which lasts
but short while; others marry for money
and suffer unhappiness less to be endured
than life term in the penitentiary
He declared that before the marriage bond
Is entered into both parties to the contract
should know each others traits of charac-
ter. Incompatibility of dispositions causes
much suffering among married people. God
cannot make two people one who are going
in opposite directions-one to heaven and
the other to the devil" said Mr.. Gill. 'They
may live together, but they are not one,
just as darkness has no fellowship with
light. The greatest thing in Christian life
is Christianity, and you cannot deprive him
or her of that unless one or the other is
dragged down"
Mr.. Gill further declared that Protest
ant and Catholic are unequally yoked to-
gether because Of the difference in their be-
liefs.

George Johnson Commits Suicide.

Gassoway Ford and Louis Dice. colored,
were startled at the sight Of a corpse hang
ing in the loft of the stable of Schwarz-
child & Sulzberger Packing Company, in
the rear of 21S F street northwest when
they went to work there yesterday morn
ing. The body was that Of George john
son, colored, who was also employed in the
stable, and who had committed suicide.
The only reason for the rash act which
his friends could advance was the recent
loss of his position.
Johnson was about fifty-five years old
and lived at 119 L street northwest Satur-
day night he was told that his services
were no longer required. He left the stable
when he was discharged and is thought to
have returned there about midnight. His
body was found suspended from the rafters.

rected that the body be cut down. The
necessary death certificate was given and
the body was removed to the morgue.
