MIND TEMPORARILY AFFECTED
MISS MATILDA MARTI SHOWS
SYMPTOMS OF INSANITY.
Her Mother Explains That the
Young Woman Had Overtaxed
Her Strength by Study.

Displaying an active interest in rei-
gious affairs. worrying over the question
of white slave traffic and declaring this
country is not free as George Washington
and Abraham Lincoln had outlined free
dom, Miss Matilda Marti, twenty-three
years of age displayed evidences OF in
sanity during the past few days. and last
evening she was committed to the Gov
eminent Hospital for the Insane. Miss
Marti, it is stated. is an actress and au-
thoress and her home is at 1910 Indiana
avenue. Chicago. Her mother, Mrs. Pris-
ella Marti, came here last night. arriving
shortly after the young woman had been
sent to the hospital.
Miss Marti reached this city Saturday
night and was found by Detective Mudd
wandering about the Union station. Her
conduct made it apparent that she was
sick. and she admitted she was not feel
ing we'll She gave the detective the
names of number of persons in New
York and Chicago and asked that they
be told of her wherea bouts and illness.
The detective had her sent To the Flor
ence Crit'enton Home to await the COM
ing OF hel mother.
Report of the Physicians.
Sunday Sanitary Officer Sroufe visited
her and engaged her in conversation.
Later physicians examined her and re-
ported her as being insane, but il was
thought she could be cared for at the
Florence Crittenton Home without trou-
BILE. Yesterday afternoon, however. she
became troublesome and ran from the
building. She was soon overtaken. and
the police escorted her to police head
quarters, where she conversed with In
SpectOr BOardman. Miss Marti seemed
contented while at headquarters until the
police matron arrived. She then seemed
to realize she was to be detained, and
she protested that she was not insan ne
and that she could take care of herself.
When Mrs. Marti reached this city last
evening she went to police headquarters
to inquire about her daughter, and was
surprised when told the latter had been
sent to the Government Hospital for the
Insane. Her only explanation Of her
daughters trouble was that she had been
studying too hard preparing her book on
the social problem. The mother visited
her daughter at the hospital this morn
ing. 1t is thought the young woman s
trouble is only temporary and that she
may be able to return home shortly.

MANY STREETS HAVE NEW
NAMESSON OFFICIAL CHART
Supervisors Issue Map Showing
Changes in Thoroughfares

Over 500 streets have had their names
changed within recent years, accord
ing to a table of streets of the city,
compiled and issued in pamphlet form
by the board of supervisors.
Apart from the changes in the names
Of the streets the pamphlet contains a
list of the streets expunged from the
public records, the locations and names
of hitherto nameless alleys and a fund
of general information regarding pave
ments, widths of streets and other mat
ters dealing with the city's roadways
The last pamphlet of its kind was
issued in 1894, and since that time the
constant changing and remaining of
streets has led to much duplication in
names. So annoying was this to the
postal department that a request was
made by the postmaster to the board
of supervisors for a general revision.
