During the past two months there have been five attempts at murder, three at suicide and one suicide. Last night Richard, alias “Dick,"’ Burnett at- tempted to take the life of James Cook. About a month ago Cook appeared before the mayor and swore out a warrant charg- ing Burrett, who runs a saloon near the Stone bridge, with selling Hquor on Sun- day. He was arrested and convicted. Shortly afterward Burnett was heard to say that he intended to kill Cook the first time he saw him. Last night Burnett was standing on Henry street near King, when Cook came along and spoke to him, and In a voice with a ring as clear as] HEARD THE DEBATE ON CUBA. a bell’s note commences today the message from the homes of Wash- ington, telling the sick of the Great Master. who is instituting at the Na- tion’s Capital a National Practice for the dissemination of the Discovery that has opened the ears of the deaf.

Burnett answered him, and at the same time struck him in the face with his fist, knocking him down, and while he was down he struck him a terrible blow on the head with his crutch, cutting a terrible gash. Ccok was carried to Dr. Snowden's office, close by, where the doctor took nine stitches to close the wound. In the mean- time Burnett made his escape and has succeed2d in evading the police. Burnett is one of the most dangerous and noted characters in the city. He formerly ran a saloon on Upper Duke street, but Judge Norton revoked his license for violating the Sunday law. Since then he has been fined by the mayor for the same offense. He is now out of jail on bail for attempted mur- der and highway robbery. Sergt. Smith and Policemen Dean and Arrington this morning caught Burnett after an exciting chase, during which the latter sealed fences and led where he had concealed himself in a small outhouse. He was brought to the station house and made the following statement to a Star reporter, who saw him there: “When I was locked up, jon charged with attempt at murder highway rob- bery about two weeks, Cook went to my heme and tried to swindle my wife out of $2, and my wife told me all about it. Cook at that time pretended that he was a great friend of mine, and one day when he call- ed on me in the jail I asked him about it and he gave me a satisfactory answer. Shortly afterward he again went to my home and grossly insulted my wife. I then said I would not get myself into trouble again, as I have already been in trouble enough. Yesterday afternoon when I left the court house I stopped in Joe Wieder man’s place, near the corner of King ai Henry streets, to see him on business. I | left there and was standing in front of the place waiting for a friend when I saw Cook coming up Henry street. As he pass- ¢d me he wheeled around and caught me by the throat and threatened to take my life. I thought he was joking and told him I wanted nothing to do with him. He then ran his hand into his hip pocket, as if he had a pistol there, and said: “You s— of a b—, I have done your wife and I intend When a little one is expected in the family how lovingly the parents plan together for its future well- fare.

Mow the Branch in India Was Or- wanized, A fine audieges, composed mostly of la- dies, assemble@ last evenirg at Fourdry M. E. Church, corner of lith and G streets rorthwest, to listen to addresses by Staff Capt. Edith Marshall, who has charge of the work of the Auxiliary League of the | Salvation Army in the United States, and Adjutant Pease, private secretary to Com- missioner Eva Booth, who is about to re- turn to England with that officer. Miss Pease's speech was listened to with marked attention, but the only information for her hearers that it contained wus that the Salvation Army, quite notably the Washington branch, is badly in need of money to pay its necessary expenses. She assured her audience that not a penny tnat they might contribute would be taken out of Washington, and, after the tambou- rines were emptied, it was found that the responses to the appeal were’ quite liberal. Staff Capt. Marshall’s speech was full of interest, dealing as it did with a general re- view of the operations of the Salvation Army in various countries, principal land, France, Sweden, India and the United States. The speaker told how the work of the army spread from the Whitechapel dis- trict in London, where it was organized by Gen. Booth in 1868, to other countries, and claimed that in no single instance had mis- sionaries from the army gone into any country, from England until after the most urgent appeals from that country were re- ceived at the headquarters in London. Staff Capt. Marshall's account of the man- ner in which Commissioner Tucker became connected with the Salvation Army s listened to with the most marked attention. She said: “Some years ago Commissioner ys tholonwew"s of Lowlon, apd the Merce “Let those who may hesitate be- cause this message is from far away take abundant time. There is no hurry. In a short time just such testimony as this from your own friends and neighbors will crowd these columns. Just such a message of manifold voices as this, which has thrilled and awed New England with the marvel of the discovery and the majesty of the skill that produced it, will come from the homes of the people of Washington.” That message is only begun in these columns today, but in this be- ginning let this lesson first be taught— To the superb skill for which this testimony is tribute, only the most perfect Truth is kin. No color of exaggeration, no false light of untruth involves the words ; of these grateful witnesses to Doctor } McCoy's power over disease. They testify to a skill in whose behalf no lie was ever spoken. They testify to triumphs over sickness which the color of exaggeration would dim, not glorify. In the plane and splendor of the Great Master’s achievement for mankind only Truth, the most perfect Truth, has place or usefulness. DR. WCOY’S RECORD. ‘The Sia Yenrs of Preparation.

T learned that Doctor MeCoy was in Washington. Having known Tucker was a governor by royal appoint- ment in India. In that position he hecame aware that there were thousands of per- sons, natives of that country, who did not attend any church ‘nor would they do so. He was anxious that something should be done to enlighten them on the subject of religion, but for a long time could think of 1o way to solve the problem. “One day a copy of the War Cry, the organ of the Salvation Army, fell into his hands, and there he read Words which he believed would, if applied to tle people of Incia, suit the latter precisaly. 1He secured a leave of absence for six months and went to England, where henconferred with Gen.

Returning to India, he aséumisti the garb of a native, in order to exércife a greater influence over those whom he addressed, and traveled barefooted over the hot sands, telling about the work of the Salvation Army and what it proposedste ‘do for them. “The result was that thousands of per- sons enlisted in the army, and.gn immense amount of good has been accomplished.” Staff Captain Marshall alsg gave an in- teresting account of the Introduction of the army inta France, and stated that when she sold the War Cry on the streets of Paris | she was frequently greeted by Frenchmen with expressicns of “Shocking!
