To the Editor of Tux Everine Stan: 1 was very glad to see the comments in your ex- cellent paper on the recent injury occasioned to Senator Lamar by a reckless driver. As you weil Say, the atrociously reckless driving and disregard of t herights of pedestrians in this city ought tobe stopped, but the question is how can it be done. Some months ago, in company with my wife and another lady, I was crossing the streets at the Thomas circle, where there is the greatest abun- dance of carriageway. Notwithstanding this and the fact that there was no other vehicle insight, the driver of a two-horse carriage drove in a trot directly across our path, and had I not seized the Teins of the horse nearest us and abruptly stopped his progress one or hoth of the ladies would in an- other Instant have been under his feet. For daring to intertere with his absolute and exclusive con- trol of the streets, tie driver repaid me with Tnenacing words und gestures. Determined to try if there was any remedy, I followed the man to the stable where he belonged and got his name. T then called on the district attorney and related the elroumsta: and received the informa- tion thal = was no law to reach such nothing could be done with the drivers ate the avenues and streets of this $5 they cause death or bodily injury to PpY pelestrians who are coinpeiled to aeir dom tin.

The Spanish Ministers’ family and the ladies on Connecticut avenue and 19th street, near Dupont circle, had most agreeable receptions. Saturday evening was distinguished by several notable dinner parties, given, respectively, by the President, the acting Vice President, Senator and Mrs. McPherson, the French Minister and Mme. Outrey, Representative Stephens, and Stillson Hutchins. That which occurred at the Executive Mansion was intended tobe in the nature of a family dinner, since the President preferred that his first dinner party to his Cabinet should be of thatcharacter. It wasserved in the private dining- Toom, and the guests were invited to be present at 7:30. The table was beautifully trimmed with smnflax and flowers, and fruits. were tastefully arranged In siver and glass. ‘The central ornament was the Hiawatha boat filled with choice flowers. four new silver candekibras, With Wax candles, were alsoon the table. The’ side lights recenty iptroduced into'this room have pink glass globes, ich make a soft glow through the room.

The dinner party given by Hon. A. H. Stephens occurred in his ‘private parlor at the National Hotel about four o'clock. His rooms were fairly crowded with souvenirs sent him, the 11th being his 70th birthday. None but gentlemen were pres- ent. All were from Georgia.
