CUPID WINS OUT.
Policeman King Married While His
Property Was Burning.

The sudden disappearance of Policeman
King from his premises Saturday morning.
while his stable was burning. was explained
later in the day when a telephone message
was received from Rockville. Md, announc-
ing his marriage. The officer had been
granted a days leave. Nevertheless his
fellow-ofiicers thought 1t strange that he
did not seem interested enough in the fire
to remain at the stable until the firemen
had finished their work. Judge Jordan and
Sergt. Stevens knew of the intended elope-
ment and had arranged to accompany the
policeman and Miss Lillian Irene Kidwell to
Rockville. The Rev. Lock had been en-
gagged to perform the ceremony at Rock
vile. and the policeman had no idea of TAX
ing the chances of disappointing the min
lister and causing an unnecessary delay by
remaining by the fire.
The prospective bride and groom met and
went out for a ride on the electric cars from
Congress Heights. 1t was thought. but they
met the two friends mentioned and were
soon on their way to Rockville where
lady friend of the policeman's intended
bride Joined them. After the ceremony
was performed the party had dinner at the
Maryland House and returned home late In
the afternoon. They are living at 81 jack
son street AnaCOStia

DIR. WHITE IN THE CITY.
New Superintendent of Hospital for In
sane Preparing to Take Charge.

DR.. William ~. White, superintendent of
the Government Hospital for the Insane,
has returned to the city from Binghamton.
N. Y, and is at the institution named pre-
pairing to assume the formal direction of its
affairs October 1. In the meantime DIR.
White is making a close study of the hos
pital and of the systems of administration
in effect there and it is the expectation that
his view in relation thereto will be placed
before the coming annual session of the
board of visitors which will occur the early
part of October. This meeting of the board
is regarded as an important one, involving,
as it does. the beginning of official rela-
tons between the new superintendent and
the members. with probable plans and esti-
mates to be discussed and finally urged be-
fore Congress at its coming meeting.
1t Is realized by the friends of the Gov
eminent Hospital that If the Improvements
lnaugurated by the late DR.. Richardson
to be continued and extended it will mean
extraordinary efforts upon the supernten-
dent. as In the case of his predecessor, and
particularly is this plain when it is consid-
cred that the official named is the sole
sponslble head of the hospital in all its af-
fairs, both in his professional capacity and
IN the management Of its business. 1t was
In the light of all this that discussion has
been in progress concerning suggested
changes In the manner of conducting the
affairs of the hospital. What the result will
be IS, however. probematical as the con-
summation of any such changes as have
peen referred to can not be brought about
In a single day.
One of these changes. which was made
soon after the late superintendent death,
was that the law making the superintend-
ent the disbursing officer of the hospital be
amended, so as to permit of the same being
done by the disbursng officer Of the Inter-
Tor Department. Another plan spoken about
was that the office of assistant superintend-
ent be created. Whether any heed will be
paid to these suggestions by the officials of
the department is. of course, only q matter
or conjecture at the present time
Dr. White, as previously stated in The
star, rs the youngest superintendent to
occupy the position at the Government
hospital. He is thirty-three years of age
but his ability as a specialist in his profess
sion Is recognized. He was first assistant
in the Binghamton State Hospital, Bing-
hamton. N. Y. when selected for appoint
ment here.

ly, were arrested by Detectives Helan. War

tempting to dispose of diamonds valued at
about $500 When the men reached police
headquarters they claimed they were rep
resentatives of a iewelry firm in New York

elry store was robbed on the 10th instant,
arrived here and looked at the Jewels, which
consisted Of two diamond earrings, one dia-
mond stud and one diamond ring. He iden-
titled the stones as being his property and
said they had been changed into other
mountings. Breitinger showed the police
diamond stud which he said was mate to
the one found on the men. They were COM
pared. but it was found that the one sup
piled by the ieweler was somewhat smaller
than the other.
McNefr and Doyle were taken into the
Police Court today. where charge of
grand larceny was filed against them. The

Christian Science Services.

The sermon yesterday in the two Christian
Science churches was on Unhealthy, being
the same in both. The golden text was from
Isaiah. 2:22, and responsive reading from
Isaiah. GALS. The Scriptural references
ranged from Genesis to Revelation, sup
ported and interpreted by corelative pas
sages from Mrs. Eddys Science and
Health"
The general idea of the sermon was to
show the unreality of ma terial phenomena
which includes in its train discord and woe,
sin, sickness and death. and to emphasize
and inculcate faith in the reality of God
and His creation.
The two local churches are in a very
prosperous condition and growing in num-
bers and spiritual strength.
