Mr. Hill was conveyed to the first pre- cinct station house this morning between 8 and 4 o'clock by Officed Hunt. The po- liceman was patrolling his beat about 3 o’clock when, on 13th street near New York avenue, he found a man walking along, apparently in a crazed condition, at- tired only in his underwear. The unfortu- nate man was muttering incoherently that he was being pursued and seemed to think that the persons after him wanted to take his life. Hunt arrested him, and by ques- ticning learned from him that he was stopping at the Hotel Fredonia, on H street near I3th. Realizing that the best thing to do under the circumstances was to have the man dressed, as his clothes were scanty for even such an early hour in the morning, the policeman led mm to the Hotel Fre- doria. Inquiry showed that his vrisoner was Mr. Hill, who had Ieft his room in the house, and had wandered out on the street. Persuaded to Dress. Hill was taken to his room quietly and was induced to don his clothes. There was no disturbance, and the guests of the house knew nothing of what had happened, Mr. Dananhower himself being unaware of the occurrence until he learned of it this morn- ing. Hill was removed to the first precinct station house and placed in an upstairs room. He remained there until this morn- ing, when Mr. Robert S. Chilton, jr., chief of the consular service, was notijied. He rode down to the station on his wheel and visited Mr. Hill upstairs. Mr. Chilton stated to a Star reporter that Hill had told him he had been taking bromide for some time, and that he was suffering from the effects of that and whisky which he had taken. Mr. Chilton said also that Hill im- Mmagined that President McKinley, Capt. Sigsbee of the Maine and others were in the room with him and wished to kill him. Receiving Treatment. Mr. Danenhower was later notified of Mr. Hill's whereabouts and had him taken to the Emergency Hospital, where he will be treated for a few days. If he docs not improve quickly he will be removed to St. Elizabeth, Mr. Chilton says. Consui Hill is upmarried, and is from the west. He is a man of thirty-six or thirty-eight years of age, and has many friends, he being a gentleman of most pleasant and affable manners. He bas been in Washington about two months and a half. —_.__ THE PEOPLE 4 ROV. Indorsement of President's Action in Signing Cuban Resolution, Patriotic approval'of the action of the President in signing the Cuban resolutions was nifosted today throughout the city, especially in the busincés section, by the display of flags. Some of the streets had quite a gala appearznce as the national lors waved from the front and the tops of the buildings. Thcre was such a strong breeze that the bunting streamed out in the bright sunlight, #rd‘as the folds were opened out and the entire expanse of the various flags were laought into view the ceiors seemed to blend ‘with those of na- ture in increasing the brilliant effecis of a beautiful spring day. The display of flags was not due to any arranged plan, but when the ann was made through The Star’s extra of the President's action, it evoked throughout the city a demonstration that was impressive, especially because of its spontaneous char- acter. ‘The tall front of the building of W. B. Moses’ Sons was soon covered with flutter. From the windows of the es- hment of Woodward & Lothrop were displayed the national emblem, and so up and down F street and the avenue and 7th strect, and throughout the busines: ec- ns, and in many parts of the residence ctions the public sentiment thus found sion. a striking indication of the atti- tude of the people of the city in the present national crisis. —_—~—.__ AFFAIRS IN GEORGETOWN. Wedding Yesterday, Another Anticipated—General News, A fashionable congregation assembled at Dumbarton Avenue M. E. Church last evening to witness the wedding of Miss Nellie Shreve Birch, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Birch of 3014 Cambridge place, to Mr. George C. Aitemus. The wedding party consisted of six bridesmaids and a like number of ushers, with the sister of the bride, Miss Alice Edna Birch, as maid of honor, and Mr. Herbert Birch as best man. Rev. Dr. J. B. Stitt, pastor of the hurch, met the bridal party at the chancel and recited the service. The church was beautifully decorated for the occasion with paims and Easter lilies. The ushers were Messrs. Will Altemus, Walter Birch, Albert Birch, Thomas Wing- field, Prof. Emory Wilson and John Gheen. The maids, who were all gowned alike, were Misses Amelia Altemus, Sadie Donald- son, Beatrice Graham, Jeanie MacFarlan, Ida MacFarlan and Lorraine MacFarlan. Their gowns were dainty creations of Swiss mull and lace, with green sashes. The colors of the wedding were green and white, harmonizing with the interlor deco- rations of the church. Each of the maids carried a bunch of Easter lilies. The maid of honor and the maids entered the church by the ieft door and walked around to meet the bride, preceding her to the altar. The bride, who leaned upon the arm of her father, wore an elegant gown of white satin, covered with liberty silk. She carried a shower bouquet of lilles of the valley, all of the ushers wearing favors of the same. While the guests were as- sembling Mr. Fred. R. Stitt, the organist, gave an excellent organ recital, consisting of Lemaigre's “Capriccis’ and Handel's “Largo,” before the ceremony; the bridal chorus from Lohengrin, as the party en- tered the church; the prayer from Lohen- in and “Cantilene Nuptiale,” by Dubois, uring the ceremony, with ‘Mendelssohn's choice for the exit. ‘Mr. and Mrs. Altemus.left the city for a wedding trip, the traveling gown of the bride being of army blue ‘broadcloth. The couple, on their return, will go to house- keeping at 3304 13th*street, where they will be pleased to see their friends. There will be interesting services this evening at Ebenezer A. E. Church.
