Police Believe Young Woman IS Men
tally Deranged.

A sad case came to the attention Of the
police of the sixth precinct last night, when
Miss Hester s. Maley, of Caribou. Me-.=-who
has been staying at the Vendome Hotel
since the middle of last month. was taken
into custody in the belief that her mind
was diseased When she registered at the
hotel. Miss Maley said she was on her way
from her home to California. Two days
ago the people of the hotel began to re-
gard her actions as suspicious. She saw
Policeman Samuel Gibson passing the hotel
last night and called him from the window
of her room. She told the officer a story of
troubles she had experienced since she
reached this city. She imagined that
her sister was being Ill treated by a
big policeman in an adjoining room
had been beaten and dragged about
the room and that she was powerless to
prevent it.
The same policeman and others. she said
were trying to dope her. In order to pre-
vent them from getting her under the influ-
ence of the opiate, she told the policeman,
she held her head out the window all Sat-
urday night. She also told other guests in the
hotel that she was being prosecuted.
Fearing there was something wrong with
her mind, the policeman arrested her and
sent her to the house of detention, where
She spent the night. This morning the DO
lice surgeons examined her and decided to
send her to the Washington Asylum Hos
pital for observation

REVISED PLANS APPROVED.
Bids to Be Asked for Constructing the
New Freedman's Hospital.

The seal of final approval has been set
on the revised plans for the new Freed
mans Hospital, and all that now remains
to be done in connection Herewith is to
prepare specifications and advertise for bids
for the construction of the building. The
firm of Bruce, Price De Sibour of New
York was awarded the contract for prepar-
ing the plans, these architects having pre-
scented the best designs in the competition
for the work.
Since the award of the contract to the
architects several conferences have been
held between the representa- tives of the
firm and the committee in charge in con-
nection with the revision of the plans to
meet certain objections that were urged
against the original designs. These correc-
tons and changes having now been made,
the plans that have been approved by Sec
rotary Hitchcock, Mr.. James Knox Taylor,
supervising architect of the treasury, and
Mr.. Elliott Woods, superintendent of the
Capitol. the board provided by Congress for
the purpose of examining all such plans.
The changes that have been made in
the plans are material to the grouping
OF the structures that are to be included
in the hospital. In the first plans the
wings formed prolongations of the adj
ministratlon building to the east and
west. The change that has been made
makes the administration building a cen
trail feature as heretofore, and the wings
running at right angles thereto on the
east and west. connected by a large cor
rider which Is a prolongation of the
central structure. Instead of one, there
are two ward wings on each side In
the original plans the power plant was
placed in a separate building removed
from the main structure In the revised
plans the power station is directly be-
hind the kitchens, thus saving much ex-
pense in connection with the piping of
water, steam. &c.

yesterday to enter the Rush Run and Red
Ash mines to recover the bodies of the
twenty four men who are believed to have
been killed by the two explosions Saturday
and yesterday morning, finally were able to
enter the mine today.
The amount of gas in the mine after the
explosion and the necessity for driving
fresh air into the inner workings before
the rescuers dared enter compelled them to
wait more than twenty-four hours after the
last explosion. Hundreds of people from
the surrounding country. miners and their
families crowded around the Mines the
men volunteering to help in any way posi-
BILE, and the women anxious.y awaiting
word from their loved ones.

mine early Sunday morning had gone two
thousand feet when overcome by the sec
ond explosion. The second rescue party
reached this point in the mine tcdly and
preparations at once began for the re-
moval of the dead bodies. None has YET
been recovered but it is believed that by
tonight the eleven men who gave up their
lives in brave attempt to rescue the i'm
prisOned miners viii be brought out of the

The tendency of shoppers to grow tired

NeEPIDEMIC HERE
LOCAL HEALTH OFFICER DOES
NOT FEAR MENINaITIa

The local health authorities state that
there has been no occasion whatever TOR
alarm in Washington over any possibie
epidemic of cerebro-spinal meningitis,
which is demanding the attention of physi-
slams and health departments In other CIT
les of the country. In several cities the
disease has claimed many victims and the
health departments have been aroused to
the necessity for systematic and thor
cugh investigation into the cause OF the
disease and the possibility of. IL not cure,
at least remedy by which the hign rate
Of mortality of meningitis may be lowered.
1t is curious thing that In spite OF the
thousands of victims carried OF by TINS
form of meningitis, and in spite OF the
progress of made in medical science In the
last fifty years there seems to be little
more of practical value known about TINS
disease than there was three or four dec
edes ago. when 1t was popularity called tue
spotted fever.
Since then it has been discovered that
it is a germ disease, and that the microbe
enters the nose and finds lodgment In
the brain Occasionally the public is In
formed that some cure for 1t has been
discovered, but none of these nostrums
thus far tried ha SELECTED the slightest
decrease in the number of deaths caused
by the disease.
No Regular Periods.
1t is stated that epidemics of this dis
ease seem to have no regular periods OF
recurrence, nor do they seem to arise
from any well-Geined set Of conditions.
1t is true that most of the victims are
children, especially those from one to
five years of age. and that the vast ma
iority of them come from the poorer
classes
A the same time it is confined to no one

it's spread. The popular belief Is that cpl
denies of meningitis follow severe winters,
but the history of the disease Shows that
this is not entirely true. a.
The onset of the disease Is sudden ana us
course rapid and fatal. Even those VINO
recover are never as strong, either mentally
or physically, as they were before the at
tack 1t has been known only since the De-
ginning OF the nineteenth century, being
first recognized in Geneva Switzerland. 1t
made its first appearance In this country IN
Massachusetts, in 1Su2. The disease visiteo
Ireland in very fatal form in 1S46 and
again in 1866 and 1868.
From Investigations relative to this dis
ease it is stated. any conditions which pro-
duces bodily or mental depression predls-
pose to the disease. and it has assumed itS
most fatal type during times of famine ana
among squalid tenement jewellers or SOL
ders in crowded barracks
The course and symptoms vary remark
ably in different types. In the malignant
or fulminant type the disease may prove
fatal in few hours. Remittent and inter
mittent forms are recognized, in which the
fever is lower, or entirely absent for two
or three days, and there is a form that
much resembles typhoid fever.
