FOUL PLAY SUSPECTED WILLIAM T. CARDEN MISSING FROM HIS HOME. His Absence Unexplained ? Friends Ask Police to Aid in Finding Him. The mysterious disappearance of Wil liam T. Carden, a former clerk in the pen sion office and later an employe of the District reform school, was reported to the police today by Mr. Wayne W. Cordell of 4fll O street northwest, an intimate friend of the missing man. Mr. Carden, who is a son of Lee R. Carden of Union county, Tenn., has been missing for two months, and his friends fear foul play. He was appointed to a 11,200 clerkship in the pension office February 28. 1883, upon the recommendation of the late L. C. Houk, at that time a member of Congress from the Knoxvllle district of Tennessee. He con tinued on the rolls of that department un til May 8, 1807. when he resigned. In June of this year Mr. Carden returned from a visit to Knoxvllle to seek employ ment here. He interested many Tennes seeans in this city in his behalf, including John W. Davis. R. P. Toucray, William H. Britton and Wayne Cordell. He secured temporary employment with Hill & Co., real estate dealers, and about September 1 last he secured a permanent position at the District reform school. He came Into the city October 1 and made some pur chases, and the last seen or heard of him was when he visited Anacostia on the oc casion mentioned, where he took dinner with a Mrs. Anderson, a friend of his wife. He told her he expected to return to Knox vllle, and nothing has been heard from him since by the Tennessee colony in Washing ton or his family and friends in that state. His Son's Statement. A letter from his son, Arthur Carden, who is employed by the Southern railway at Knoxvllle, states that the writer has not heard from his father for over two months. This failure to write to his son or wife for so long a period has greatly alarm ed them, and they fear he is the victim of a tragedy or fatal accldept. While in this city Mr. Carden made his home at the resi dence of Mr. Cordell, 4<51' G street north west. Speaking of his strange disappear ance, Mr. Cordell said today: "My wife and his were warm friends. We wished Mr. Carden well and cannot account for his long and unexplained absence. He was always a quiet man and was not in clined to be quarrelsome. I postponed re porting the matter to the police until today in the hope that something would be heard from the missing man, but hope has turned to despair, and 1 feel it to be my duty to his family to have this matter fully in vestigated by the police department. He could not have had more than $20 with him at the time of his disappearance. He would make friends quickly, and I fear he fell In with evil persons, who murdered him. He was a good conversationalist and had a habit of biting his finger nails when in study." The missing man was forty-nine years of age, six feet high, weighed about 146 pounds, had light hair, slightly turned gray, and blue eyes. His birthplace was New Piatt Creek. Union county, Tenn.

Mrs. Fiske as Hedda Gabler. Mrs. Fiske's performance of "Hedda Gab ler" was witnessed by a large audience at the Lafayette Theater last night. The play appeals on a strictly artistic basis, lacking even the Interest of problem which ani mates the most of Ibsen's works. Inferior In Interest to "Ghosts" or "The Dolls House," "Hedda Gabler" Is still a hide for the talents of a woman like Mrs. Fiske, whose Interpretations of roles or Intense emotional feeling are convincing without being demonstrative. Her por trayal was a work of strong Intellectuality and realized what no doubt the author in tended?the cold analysis of a most un lovable, though not Improbable, type ol womanhood. The various roles In the play were all excellently performed. x Gareissen Recital. The song recital of Mr. Oscar Gareissen of New York will take place on Friday evening In the ball room of the New Wll lard Hotel.

Mr. Gareissen will be heard for the first time in public here on Friday evening, although he is already well known among the musicians in society. His pro gram has many novelties, as well as stand ard works, embracing nearly all styles. There are songs by Schumann, Schubert, B"rahms. Carlsslml, Karel Bendl, Bullard and Paderewski, the latter appearing in an entirely new light. Every one knows him as a pianist and composer of piano music, as well as operatic, but as a song writer he Is comparatively strange. His "Ah, the Torment," has Invariably made a hit wher ever Mr. Gareissen has sung It. Mme. Melba in Concert. The advance sale of seats for Mme.
