MoRToN's RECEPTION SHOCKS.
Sounds of ReveIry at British Embassy
Likewise Disturb Church Goers.

> WASHINGTON, March 23.-Wash-
ington has not yet recovered from the
shock which it received two Sundays
ago, when three social affairs were
under full Roadway while people were
going to and from church, and the
offense seems the graver in that the
chief offenders were the secretary or
the navy, Paul Morton, and his wife.
The other offender was the British am
bassador, but as the diplomats are
law unto themselves, and therefore to
a certain extent immune from criti-
cism, Mr.. and Mrs. Morton are having
to bear the brunt of the matter. So
widespread has been the criticism
that they have not undertaken to de-
fend themselves or to repeat the Of
Tense, and it is said unofficially that
Sunday cabinet receptions and dances
are hereafter to be let severely alone.
The British ambassador and his
wife gave their entertainments in the
evening, and sounds OF music and rev.
elry filled the tir, and made their way
across the street to the Church of the
Covenant, where religious services
were being conducted. The shouting
of carriages by the loud-voiced turnkey
at the embassy could be heard by
those in the church, who were trying
to listen to a sermon by the Rev. DR..
Tennis Hamlin, and the whole church
was scandalized.
The Morton Reception.
But this is as nothing compared
with the Morton performance. On
that particular Sunday afternoon
| there was a party in honor of Miss
Pauline Morton at Chevy Chase.
Dancing and amusements of worldly
character predominated. About dark
| the members of the party returned to
town in tallyhos, singing and shout
| ing and blowing horns en- route, and
went to the home Of Secretary Morton,

IT'S TOLL is LIKE THE PLAQUES
"Spotted Fever's" Spread In New
York Alarms Authorities.


York Alarms Authorities.
NEW YORK, March 23.-The spread
of the deadly disease called cerebro
spinal meningitis, which the medical
profession declares it knows little be-
yond the fact that it kills and is now
epidemic, brought DR.. Darlington,
president of the board of health, be-
fore the board of estimate and appOr-
tionment to ask an appropriation of
penses of a medical commission to in
vestigate the cause of this modern
plague.
During the past week there were
eighty-seven deaths from cerebro spi
nal meningitis here. A similar num-
Der of deaths from cholera or small
pox or typhus would cause widespread
alarm.
Germs Work Deadly.
Medical science declares that the
disease is caused by a germ, but it is
unable to stop the GERMS deadly work.
For the sufferer there is practically no
relief until death comes.
The best efforts nave failed SO far
to discover an antitoxin or cure of any
kind. The physicians, in fact, do not
know how the disease is communi-
Gated, but they declare it is infectious.
They will, however, keep up the fight
until some remedy is discovered.
For some time the doctors have been
devoting their attention to diptheria
antitoxin, in the hope that it might
prove effective in cases of cerebro
spinal meningitis, but they fear now
that they are doomed to disappoint-
ment, and are as helpless as ever in
their fight against a disease which is
killing more daily than either pneu-
monia or consumption.
Last year there were 1,211 deaths
in the city from this disease, and the
year before there were only 271.

1t is noteworthy that no member of

Mr.. and Mrs. Morton are the only
members of the cabinet circle who
have no church connections. Neither

both are deeply philosophical and phil
