The most brilliant event of the season so far at Capen was a german given Friday evening by the ladies at the Springs, under the management of Miss Juliette Collins of Hagerstown, Md., and Miss Milton of Louisville. There were present from Wash- irgton Mrs. Irwm Brooke, Mrs. Edwin Mc- Cahill and Mr. Polk Buell. Among the re- cent arrivals from Washington are Dr. and Mrs. J. W. Foster, Miss Foster, B. O. Fos- ter and Guy Foster. FOR HIS SWEETHEART’S SAKE Thomas Young Slashed in the Neck on Rosa Oraig’s Account. Condition of the Man Extremely Crit- feal—George Simms, the Assail- ant, is Locked Up. If Thomas Young, colored, gets well enough to relate in court the trouble which he had with a former friend, George Simms, also colored, the police will be very much surprised, and will believe he has more than one life. When he entered the fifth precinct station last night he pre- sented the appearance of a man who had been almost beheaded. Besides the red streak on the black skin about his neck, his clothing was well saturated with blood, and when he was taken to the hospital he left a large pool of blood behind him. Young had walked a dozen squares from the scene of the bloody encounter to the police station, and although he had lost so much blood from a cut in the jugular vein, as well as from other wounds, he did not lose consciousness. Hardly three minutes elapsed from the time he reached the police station until he was on the operating table in Providence Hospital. Then he appeared in fairly good spirits, and the doctors thought he was not so seriously wounded, but a more care- ful examination showed that his condition was extremely critical, and the chances for recovery were by no means favorable. The doctors did all they could for him, and this morning he was doing as well as they could possiily have expected. Woman the Cause. The trouble between the young men hap- pered on Georgia avenue southeast be- tween 3d and 4th streets, and a woman was the cause. George Simms lives on Georgia avenue, at No. 310, and it was al- most directly in front of his own home that the fight occurred. A colored girl named Rosa Craig, who {s a particular friend of the man who received the dan- gerous wounds, it is stated, was the wo- man involved. Several days ago Rosa hed called at the Simms house and had a row. Last night she again called at the house, it is said, and wanted satisfaction for the alleged previous wrong she had suffered. Thomas Youfig, her male friend, was with her, and now he is paying the penalty for mixing in_a woman's fight. The woman complained that she had been assaulted in the house during a visit seme days prior. She got cold comfort when she returned last night, for, it is al- leged, George Simms repeated the violence she had suffered on the other occasion. This was what caused her friend Young to take her part, and then it was that he was so frightfully slashed In the neck. A razor is the instrument alleged to have been used, but the prisoner insists that he only used a penknife. Police Went in Pursuit. Hardly had the police heard the com- plaint of the wounded man before Sergt. Mulhall and Policemen Filton, Ciscle and McKie started in pursuit of the man who {had inflicted the injuries. Th rect to the home of the Simms family, asked where George had gone. If the peo- ple in the house were to be _belleved, George was in another jurisdiction, but Sergt. Mulhall was too old an officer to be many searches before, one house, and had been success- in that ver. ful.

New National Theater—The New Natlon- al Theater was opened last night to pre- sent Mr. Fred Bond's Summer Stock Com- That so large an audience was pres- ent considering the drizzling rain was cer- tainly 2 high tribute to Mr. Bond's person- al popularity. That he, and net his com- y, was the chief attraction that induced ttendance was evidenced by the re- ception given to Mr. Arbuckle when he made his first appearance, for his resem- blance to Mr. Bond ts so striking that he was twice mistaken for the star.

Miss Hasiam did some good work as Mrs. Merry, aithough the part was not calcu- lated to show her to the best advantage; dd Maud Allen and Louis Bishop Hall, in two minor characters, were both clever. Those who did not see the play when it Was presented here before will no doubt be pleased with the present company, but those to whom “Where Are We At?” is not rew will naturally make comparisons not always favorable to Mr. Bond's force. There is fun enough in the piece, particu- larly in the two last acts, and the compli- cations are extremely ludicrous, but Mr. Bond and his people don't seem to get all there is out of it. GLI ECHO.—The attendance at Glen Echo last night was affected by the threat- ening weather, but there was a large enough crowd on hand when the perform- ance in the amphitheater began to justify the performers in doing their level best. The Fadettes, of course, were the leading attraction, and their playing scored again | a8 a most popular hit. Among the spe- | cial features or turns may be mentioned Van Leer and Barton in a black face sketch that made enough fun for the au- | dience to last all the evening. Baker and | Randall in an Irish sketch that was above the ordinary run of such work; Emma Francis, a neat and pretty acrobatic dancer, who introduced some new and ditticult feats; Caswell Arnold, the Brown- ings and others. Altogether Manager Mid- dicton is to be congratulated on his se- lection of talent for the present week. The grounds still continue to attract large crowds of people. The reputation of the place for scenic beauty has led many to make the trip on trial, and those who have attended, it has been noted, have returned at some time or other to renew their ac- quaintance. * being ——— EXCURSIONS, The excursion of the Catholic Benevolent Legion took down to River View yesterday one of the largest crowda of the season. The first boat in the morning was crowded with those who desired to make an all-day outing, and all the boats thereafter were well filled. The evening boat especially, notwithstanding the threatening aspect of the sky and the rain which fell before the departure, was filled to overflowing, and had the good weather of the morning kept up Captain Randall would in all probability have had to hire other boats to take carg of the exodus to his resort. The feature of the day was an address delivered by Dr. D, J. Stafford upon the arrival of the even- ing boat. Dr. Stafford spoke but for a short time, but his happy words had a great effect. He pointed out the good work which had been done by the ‘egion in years ast, and described in glowing terms the uture of the organization. The cirls’ or- phanage of St. Vincent's, in whose aid the excursion was given, came in for a share of Dr. Stafford’s graceful «nd eloquent wcerds, and he warmly recommended the tots who receive the benefits of the or- phanage to persons charitably inclined. At the conclusion of Dr. Stafford’: address the pavilion was cleared for dancing, and as many as could crowd upcn the floor in- dulged in this pastime untl the departure of the last boat, the rain seeming to have no perceptible effect upon the merry-mak- ing. Tomorrow, Wednesday, the usual weekly rsonally conducted trips of the steamer jam’! J. Pentz to River View will be made under the personal direction of Capt. E. S. Randall. As usual on these excursions, there will be music and dancing all day aud evening, the chute and other things to amuse one will be in operation, and in the evening Miss Grace Shannon, the leading aeronaut of America, will make one of her startling ascensions. Last Sunday she reached an elevation of 5,000 feet before cutting her parachute loose. Tomorrow she will endeavor to go up a thousand or more feet higher, before she starts on her trip to the earth again. The steamer Pentz will leave her wharf at 10 a.m., 2 and 5 p.m., and will return at 12:15, 5, 8 and 10:30 pm. There will be no increase in the cost of tickets The annual excursion of the Great Falls Ice Company Association takes place to- night, anc they go to Marshall Hall. The only thing that may act us a drawback to the occasion is the weather. All the plans heve been made for a most pleasant time, and there have been any number of tickets sold. Once on the grounds, however, a bill calculated to make one forget the rain, if it does rain, has been arranged, and all may count on an enjoyable trip in any event. The amusement committee has been doing the hardest kind of work for some time past in their efforts to arrange something that will be novel and interest- ing, and there is no doubt that they have succeeded. Dancing and all the other usual schemes for the guests’ jiversion will be in full swing. The Macalester gains one point on the other river boats with her barber shop. The gentlemen can appreciate the handiness of the thing. The Macalester leaves her wharf at 6:30 tonight. The National Union isn’t going to let other organizations get ahead of it on the question of entertaining its friends. Every | year it plans a trip for the members and friends, and this time will go to Marshall Hall. Tomorrow night is ihe time set, and every one may count on an outing not one mcment of which will be dull. Furnishing amusement is right in the line of the com- mittee in charge of the union, and they have gone ahead of all past endeavors for this year’s trip. Trips down the river are so much alike, as a rule, that these folks have tried to get up a little something that will be in the nature of a surprise. Of course, there will be dancing. Schrovc er’s men will have charge of the music for that, and all other forms of pleasure will be indulged in. The Macalester leaves at 6:20 tomorrow night. ——— PRACTICAL AND SUGGESTIVE. Papers Read Before Conference of Colored People at Ham; The papers presented at Thu S Ses- sions of the conference of colored men and women at Hampton, Va., were most pra tical and suggestive. The morning session was given up to the consideration of agvi- culture and the kindred subject of food supply. The first paper presented was by Mr. C. L. Goodrich, instructor in agricul- ture at Hampton Insiitute, on nitrogen and farm economy. The speaker, with the aid of an admira- ble serles of original illustrative charts, made very clear to his hearers the impor- tant part nitrogen plays in the economy of the farm, He referred to it not only as a factor in plant life, but as a necessary constituent ef food for both man and beas' attention to the proportion of it which is essential, and comparing the jous food stuffs in the amount oi »ply..

Prof. Du Bois’ subject was “The Problem of Amuse- ment Among Neerces,” and in his paper he added to a careful and scholarly study of present conditions some most practical and wise suggesticns for their improve- ment. At the closing session Friday afternoon an excellent address was made by Dr. Grimke of Washington on “Hindrances to the Progress of Our People.” Resolutions were adopted by the conference embody- ing in a series of recommendations the re- sults of its deliberations, ee TO CITIZENSHIP, Judge Hegner Refused Naturalization to an Applicant. “To become an American citizen,” re- marked Judge Hagner yesterday to an ap- plicant for admission to citizenship, “is to secure one of the greatest blessings obtain- able by mar. But,” continued the judge, “no man should be admitted to citizenship in this country until he shows that he is so well acquainted with the principles of tepublican institutions, and so conversant with the duties and requirements of Ameri- can citizenship as to entitle him to be ad- mitted.’ The applicant was a son of sunny Italy, and in answer to the judge’s inquiries showed that he understood Mttle about the country of which he wished to become a eltizen, although having been a resident of it for several years. He knew that he was in the city hall and that police headquar- ters stood across the way, but informed the judge that he was “judge of the city hall.” His knowledge of and acquaintance with the United States government was lament- ably limited, and he was both astonished and disappointed when Judge Hagner in- formed him that he would have to become much more familiar and better acquainted with the government and its principles be- fore he could be admitted to citizenship. “I cannot admit you now,” said the judge. ‘Wait until you have lived here longer and better understand what it means to be a citizen of the United States.” —_ > — Floral pieces-for funerals. Gude, 1224 F. Advertisement. A HYDROPHOBIA CURE Some Statements Jin Regard to the Buisson Method of (Treatment. Many Recoveriesiand No Absolute Failures Whem the Patient is Taken. @ Time. —— To the Editor of The Evening Star: In view of the mcent distressing death in this city from hydrophobia, and the conse- quent scare in regard to that disease, as reported in the columns of The Star, I would like to especially call your attention to some facts concerning what is known as the Buisson method of treatment, which has proved so successful elsewhere. The “women’s branch” of the Pennsyl- vania S. P. C. A. publishes the following leaflet on this subject: * Cure for Hydrophobin. “This treatment, which has met with re- markable success, is perfectly uncbjec- tionable. Its discovery was the result of an accident. It was made by Dr. Buisson, who cured himself, when hydrophobia was actually developed, by entering a vapor bath, or, rather, chamber, heated to 127 degrees Fahrenheit, and remaining there until relieved. He then took the baths at periods a few hours apart until all danger was gone. Buisson said that one vapor bath might prevent hydrophobia, but for safety he made his patients take seven. ‘It is possible,’ said he, ‘for hydropho- bia to last three days. Experience has taught me that on the first day a cure is certain; that on the second day it is un- certain, and that on the third, by reason of the difficulty and danger, both of intro- ducing a hydrophobic person into the bath and of keeping him there, it is impossible. Besities, who would wait until the last day? When my method shall have become known, people will not even wait for the disease; they will prevent it in all cases. Hydrophobia never declares itself before the seventh day; it is therefore possible to take a long journey in order to procure va- por baths.’ “This theory is at the foundation of some of the practices in hot countries, where hydrophobia and poisonous bites of reptiles are more common than inthis latitude. “In Morocco, before Buisson’s or Pas- teur’s time, the Arabs ‘cured hydrophobia. by sweating. The patient was swathed in woolen covering until all but smothered, placed in a small tent (these tents are al- ways of black camel's hair, much more impervious to gases than canvas), the tent closed so as to exclude air as much as pos- sible, ard then left until the profuse per- spiration had carried off the poison.’ “There are two instances on record from France of attempts to suffocate hydropho- bic sufferers between feather beds, result- ing in their recovery on account of per- spiring so profusely. The same principle is borne out in this statement by Dr. Buisson: ‘Vaccinate an infant, and give it a vapor bath directly afterward, the vaccine does not take.’ Can Be Given in a Private House. “The Buisson treatment can easily be given in a private house. As a sugges- tion we will quote from a report by the Rev. James J. Curran, who cured one of the boys in the Industrial School at Arling- ton, N. J., in January, 1886. There are many cures and no absolute failures re- ported for the Buisson method; we select this one because, though distant in time, it took place in this country, was made pub- lic at the time, and, though Mr. Curran died eight years ago, his work is well known and his friends remain. He report- ed: ‘A small kerosene oil stove was light- ed and placed on the floor; on top of this was placed a pan of boiling water, and all a chair on which the boy was Around the chair and boy and ing machine I then wrapped sev- of blankets, pinning them about and them so that the steam was retained about his body. Then, by the doctor's orders, I administered a dose of “jaborandi,” a powerful sweating cine, and also a dose of chlorai m d romide of potash to quiet his nerves. than five minutes the perspiration was streaming from every pore of his body, and before ten minutes, on being asked how he felt, he id, “he pains a ll gone.”” I kept him fin the vapor bath for about half an hour. He was then put back in bed, wrapped in blankets and allowed to sweat until perspiration stopped of its own accord." “An institution has lately been establish- ed in London for the express purpose of ad- ministering this treatment, and stations have been formed at a large number of places in India for giving the baths free of charge té the natives who are unable to pay for them. The ‘Woman's branch’ is now most anxious to introduce the treat- ment here, and has succeeded in obtaining permission to have it given at the Hahne- mann Hospital, on 15th street above Ra and at the ;Woman's Hospital, at Parrish street, Philadelphia, All persons desir of availing themselves of Jt benefi S are requested to apply at one or these places, taking note the Woman's Hospital only wo- the other of that at and children are received. It would assist. in ablishing the cure in this country if those who try it would report results to the ‘Woman’s branch’ of the ‘Pennsylvania Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals,’ No, 118 South 17th street, Philadelphia. Buisson Treatment in India, “On the 6th of May, 1895, Dr. Ganguli of Dinagepur, India, treated four persons bit- ten by a rabid jackal on the 2th of April, 1895. AN these four are now in perfect health. One man who was bitten by the same animal and did not undergo the treatment died of hydrophobia.

Ex-Representative Tracewell Chosen for His Fine Legal Attainments. Mr. Robert J. Tracewell, who succeeds Judge Bowler as controller of the treasury, is a native of Virginia, but in early life moved with his parents to Indiana, and has resided there ever since. He was a representative of the Fifty-fourth Congress from the third district of his state. He is fcrty-five years of age. President McKit- ley realizing the important questions com- ing up for decision in the controller's office has been giving the matter of the selec- tion of an appointee considerable attention, and finally concluded to give the place to Mr. Tracewell. The appointment, it is said at the White House, is entirely one of merit, Mr. Tracewell being selected be- cause of his fine legal attainments. The position has been vacant sifice the retire- ment of Controller Bowler on the Ist in- stant. Some of Its Advocates. In England this method of treatment has many ardent advocates, chief among whom is Capt. Frederick Perkis, R. N., whose ad- dress is the High Elms, Nutfield, Surrey, who is very glad to give full information | in regard to this method. A Buisson in- stitute has recently been established at Spring Grove House, Uppe> Norwood, Lon- den, where bitten persons are treated gra- tuitously. Dr. Charles W. Dulles of Philadelphia, who has made a special study of hydro- phobia, in a “Report on Hydrophobia,” read before the Medical Society of the State of Pennsylvania at Chambersburg, May 23, 1895, says: “I have, since we last met, made a study of my records for five years of what I have labeled ‘mad dog scares’ in my notes. The result of this study indicates that in fifty instances of alarms about mad dogs, with a record of 175 persons (of all ages) bitten, I have found only three deaths from so-called ‘hydrophobia. This, if correct, would indicate that the natural mortality from the bites of rabid dogs is 1.58, or less than 2 per cent. “I am strongly opposed to the practice of cauterizing with silver nitrate, which has been an article of faith ever since it was used and recommended by the English veterinarian, Youatt. “T have seen and treated very many dog bites, and have not used lunar caustic for thirteen years, and no person that I have treated has yet developed hydrophobia, so that the mortality of those treated by me is less than in those treated in Pasteur In- stitutes. My treatment is simply thorough surgical cleansing and the application of a simple antiseptic dressing for a few days, with the positive assurance that there will be no danger of the disease.” It might be well for those -vho are bitten to try Dr. Dulles’ method in combination with that of Dr. Buisson, thus making assurance doubly sure.
