PRINCESS TODAY.


When a woman loves, she is ready
to make any sacrifice. That Is the
moral Of "Her Silent Sacrifice" the
gripping heart-interest photodrama in
which Alice Brady. will appear. Her
loved one. an American artist. has
great talents, but needs the support
Of some influential person to further
his career. The arrival Of Prince
Boissard. an old roue, gives her the
opportunity, and the unsophistieated
little country girl promises to give
herself to him in return for his aid
to the young artist The Prince full
fills his part Of the bargain, and in the
meantime plies the girl with every
luxury and attraction Of smart Par
isian society life. After the artist
receives the Grand Prize, the girl car
ries out her part Of the agreement by
publicly acknowledging the Prince a.
her lover; but the Fate which watches
over true i~vers saves her from tie
greatest sacrifice. Through the
Princes Hindoo servant, the tanglc
is finally nuraveled. and "the man
and the maid" embarked together
upon the blissful seas Of matrimony

Insane Patients on the Streets.

Citizens of Congress Heights complain
of the practice of permitting inmates of
the Government Hospital for the Insane
to traverse the streets of that suburb
on "iberty" from the institution un-
attended. They have adopted resolutions
asking the Secretary of the Interior to
investigate conditions at the asylum.
As one of the speakers at the meeting
said, several people were killed a few
years ago outside of the grounds by
these TRUSTEES" and then the practice
Of giving leave beyond the gates was
stopped. Now it appears to have been
resumed. Certainly experience proves
the danger of granting this privilege to
patients in whose vagaries no depend
ence can be confidently placed. If a
person held at the hospital is insane
enough for detention he is certainly
not sane enough to be given the free
dom of the streets. 1t may be hard on
those whose mental unbalance is of a
comparatively mild type to confne them
to the institutions grounds, but it is
harder still on the members of the ad-
jacent community to subject them to
the danger of outbreaks of violence and
the constant anxiety resulting from the
presence of these patients among them.

The Potomac Ice.

Last nights break of ice above Great
Falls relieves anxiety regarding the pos
siEility of gorge above the dam that
might damage the water supply system.
A quantity of ice greater than in recent
history had formed there and it would
not have been surprising had it banked
above the dam and brought 4 danger
Gus pressure upon that structure. With
the ice flowing down the river the only
menace to the city now is to the Aque-
duct bridge, which has for years been
q source of spring anxiety, and some
of the river wharyes, possibly some of
the smaller bridges across the afiuents.
Considering the immense quantity of
Ice and snow in the Potomac watershed
it will be remarkable if this section es-
eapes with merely rise in the river
and small damage to buildings along the
lower banks. Those who remember the
days CT the old Long bridge, which was
virtually dam across the river, have
cause to be grateful for its replacement
by structure that leaves the current
free to flow unimpeded.

other. It has almost abdicased, that Ii
principal functtonings have been infiu-
enced, if not dictated, from without.
There are signs that whatever truth
there may have been in the charges they
no longer apply. A new spirit appears
on Capitol Hill. Congress, probably un-
der the pressure of criticism, is waking
up, and taking an inventory of its op-
portunities and responsibilities.
There is much to be done, and much
good, or i'll, Will follow the way it is
done. 1t is unnecessary to say that it
should be done in the best way possible
At this perilous time Uncle Sam should
be served by all his sons in whatever
fields assigned according to their oaths
of office and their highest abilities.
While certain speed is necessary, it
should not be of the breakneck variety.
Congress should not legislate while the
impatient wall, SO to say. Tho business
in hand, or soon to be, should be well
thought out. Both in matters of legis-
lation and in executive matters, the
country just now is paying heavy PEN
atty for mistakes made in crowded
hours
As there are certain things that only
Congress can do, it should attend to
them all. and in a spirit born of indie
pendence and self-relance.
