6 ENGLISH AND AMERICAN ENGINES. JOHN BULL ON THE RAIL. —_——o—— The First and the Latest Locomotive Brought from England. TRE OLD “JOHN BULL” AND THE NEW “DREAD- NAUGRT”—AN EXPERIMENT TO BE MADE IN AMERICA WITH THE LATEST ENGLISH Locomo- TIVE—EARLY EXPERIMENTS ON RAILROADS. _——2.—. CHANCE arrangement at the National Museum has placed beside the old “John Bull” loco- which the Pennsylvania | railroad company has ordered from England. The old “John Bull” was the first locomotive brought from England to this country, and it set the pattern from which American locomotive builders worked. Now, again, after the lapse of nearly sixty Years, an American railroad company goes to England for a locomotive. The “John Bull” Was in continuous service for thirty years, and during that time was Americanized considera- | bly in appearance. When it came it had no cab. bell, or pilot and looked, as English loco- motives are apt to look to American eyes. only half finished. Now it has attached to it the coweatcher, head-light, and bell, added by the mechanics of the Camden and Amboy road, on which it ran. Stripped of these American ad- ditions, one cannot help remarking the gen- eral resemblance it bears in outline to the | latest form of English locomotive, the ‘“com- pound” engine. which the Pennsylvaniacompany Will experiment with on its fast trains. These objects. the old locomotive and the picture of the new. stand in the midst of a collection which tell in a series of object lessons the story of the great struggle of the ninteenth century to get the greatest amount of speed and hauling power out of the smallest amount of fuel. There are models and drawings of locomo- tives that marked epochs in railroading. and models and drawings of vessels that tell the | story of the development of the modern ocean | greyhounds. All around are exhibits that show | the methods of transportation employed by men in different times and different parts of the world—the Chinese palanquin, the Lap- lander’s reindeer sledge, the Indian traveau, the Conestoga wagon, the old-fashioned stage coach, and scores of other odd-looking vehicles, But the old John Bull. the first locomotive to go into actual and successful service and to continue in it represents a good deal of history. ‘The section of trinxportation in the national museum is in charge of Mr. J. Elfreth Watkins, ©. E.. who has had many years’ experience in the practical affairs of railroads. and besides has devoted much time to research in the literature of the subject. Mr. Watkins told a Stak reporter the history of the old locomotive and something about the coming one. THE “JOHN BULL.” The “John Bull” was placed under steam and | Tun from Newark, N. J., Philadelphia in | 1876 for exhibition at the Centennial exposi- tion. It wes last under steam at the Chicago exposition of railway appliances in 1883, The | engine was built by Stevenson & Son. New- eastle-on-Tyne. on the order of the Camden and Amboy road. It arrived at Bordentown, | N. J.. im August. 1831. It was soon put together | and easily accomplished its first task. which | was to demonstrate to the New Jersev legisla- ture that the use of steam on railroads was to be the thing for the 19th century. Its trial trips so convinced the members of the legislature that the Camden and Amboy company was at once granted the priveleges it asked for. The | engine when it arrived in the conntry was sub- stantially as it is now. with inside cylinders, four driving wheels. and a tubuiar boiler. driving wheels originally had cast-iron hubs. locust spokes and fellocs, and a flanged tire about five inches wide, shrunk on like the tire ‘'y curt-wheel. No tender came with the engine. To take its place when the first experiments were made. a tender was im- provised from an ordinary construction car.with a whisky barre! to hold the water which was fed to the engine through hose made bya shoemaker out of leather. The iilustration above shows the old locomotive as it was first fran, Afterward, when it was in actual service, & gueer-looking tender was attached to looking like a high box or a little house on wheels. At the top of this. in the rear, wes a seat with a cover or top like a buggy-top.where the fireman sat. From this elevated perch he | could look out ahead and manage the signal | rope fromthe train behind. The John Bull was not the first locomotive in this country, but it furnished the type from which the loco- motives of the present day have been derived. Working from it for half a century the English builders have prodaced, as the highest results of their labors, the “compound” locomotive of the Dreadnaught type. such as will soon be running experimentolly on the Pennsylvania road, and American builders have developed the fas® express locomotives and the huge freight moguls. STEVENS’ EXPERIMENTAL LOCOMOTIVE. The John Stevens’ experimental locomotive, | an American product, preceded the John Bull | by six years. but no locomotive of that type | ever went into actual service. The “Stour- bridge Lion.” of which a full-sized model stands next to the “John Bull,” was brought from England, and made a trial trip at Hones- @ale two years before the ‘John Bull came, and was the first locomotive run over a track built for traffic in the western hemisphere. It, however. never made but one trip. A model is shown, too. of the “Tom Thumb.” a locomotive constructed by Peter Cooper. and experimented With on the Baltimore ana Ohio road, near Bal- timore, a vear before “John Bull Other locomotives were built in this country about the same time. including the “‘grasshop- pers” introduced by the Baltimore and Obio Foad, but they have ali disappeared. leaving in the fleld only the direc escendants of the | “Jobn Ball.” “ The John Stevens’ experimental engine is important. however, because it rep- Tesented « step which was necessary to the development of the modern locomotive. Ste- Yens Was the first to make a multi-tubular boiler. The original multi-tubular boiler constructed | Dy him for this locomotive is among the ex- | hibits in the section of transportation. Stevens deemed it necessary to have a rack rail | to run his locomotive with. This was a cogged rail between the tracks. and the one driving | wheel which was toothed or cogged ran upon thin. A circular track was contracted at Ho- boken and the locomotive was run on this. It Was regarded as a great curiosity in its day. The speed attained was estimated to be 10 miles an hour. THE PRESIDENT GARFIELD, The difference in the conditions prevailing on English and American railroads accounts largely for the difference in the results ob- tained in working after substantially the same ittern. The levelness of English roads, their Feccdonn fom sbarp curves, the comparatively short length of hauls, and lightness of loads, have had their effect im producing types of loco- motives. From 1840 to 1860 the prevailing type in England was u locomotive with one pair of drivers. These locomotives reached a high rate of speed. The increase in the weight of trains, however, demanded a heavier locomo- tive with more “feet.” and locomotives with two pairs of driving wheels, with inside high pressure cylinders, came into use. These engi were a to great perfection, and are still in use, ugh the “compound” locomo- .

The Dreadnaught, the new English loco- Motive, like all English locomotives, is severely plain in appearance. There is very little cab and no pilot, It looks more like an American locomotive than its SS because it has outside cylinders. Thecylinders of other Eng- lish locomotives, beginning with the “John Bnill,” were put underneath the boiler, inside the frame of the engine. The two cylinders of the Dreadnaught are put outside,to make room for a third cylinder inside. This is why it is called a “compound” locomotive. Webb, the designer, took the idea of the compound marine engine and applied it tothe locomotive. The outside cylinders are high-prsssure cylinders. The steam, after passing through these cylin- ders at high pressure, is conducted to the cylin- der inside, being superheated on the. way, and there works at low pressure. The piston of to form acrank. Having here the steam escapes through the smoke stack, all of its energy having been expended. By this arrangement, it is claimed, a consider- able increase of motive energy from a given amount of fuel is obtained. THE DREADNAUGHT, The main difference between the new and the old English locomotive is in the application of the principle of the compound engine. In working order the Dreadnaught weighs 95,200 ounds, and her tender weighs 27, er driving wheels are 6 feet 3 inches in diameter, e outside cylinders are 42 by 24 inches, and the inside or low-pressure cylinder 3¢ by 24 inches. It was an engine of this pattern that made the marvelous runs between London and Edin- burgh last summer when the racing fever on English railroads was at its height. In regular working the Dreadnaught has taken a train weighing, with engine and tender, 464,000 pounds up a grade of 70 feet to the mile, four and one-quarter miles long. at the rite of 33 miles an hour. She has pulled a train weigh- ing 544.000 pounds from Euston to Crewe, 158 miles, in three hours and thirty-four minutes, including two stops, or at the rate of 44.3 miles per hour, and without stoppages 46 miles an jour. WRY IT Is TO RE BROUGHT HERE. It should not be assumed that the action of an American railroad company in sending to England for a locomotive is an acknowledg- ment that the English locomotive is the best. It indicates the growth of a liberal Fa among railroad managers that inclines them to take advantage of any good points John Bull has discovered without regard to the fact that they are of British origin. This spirit haa led to | the adoption on American railroads of the Eng- lish semi-phore system of signaling, after many thousands of dollars were spent in trying to devise a new system purely American, A similar feeling is evidenced in England by the introduction of Pullman care to run between London and Brighton. It is not certain how the English locomotive will behave on an — American __ railroad. The American locomotive builders have given much attention to the development of the heavy freight engines for long hauls, often | over stecp grades, and have produced « loco- motive which for its purpose has no rival in the world. It remains to be seen whether the fast express locomotive is equaled or excelled in any respect by its English competitor. It is not a question of speed merely, There are trains ran now in America at as high rate of speed as any in England. Mr. Watkins said he thought the trains on the West Jersey road | were run as fast as any in the world. There is a question of economy in the consumption of fuel. The English locomotive uses at home a coal that is softer than American anthracite and not sosoftas the bitaminous. With this coal it accomplishes a great deal of work at small expenditure. Whether it will succeed so well with American coal is a question to be determined by experiment. In order to cross the mouutains trains running between Philadel- phia and Pittsburg have tobe drawn by loco- motives capable of doing the hard work of mountain climh Such locomotives are not economical on the many miles of dead level stretch, The railroad company will determine by experiment. probably, at’ what cost the “compound” will do this work. The conditions prevailing on American railroads in the more thickly settled portions of the United States are approaching those prevailing in England. The great eastern lines are gradually straighten- ing their curves, and many roads now are in a condition which would permit the running over most of their distance at least of the four- wheeled truckless English cars, pounds, oman The Prosecution of Boulanger.

A GREAT CO-OPERATIVE WORK IN WHICH THE NAVAL OBSERVATORY IS EXPECTED TO TAKE PART—THE MANNER IN WHICH IT IS PROPOSED TO ACCOMPLISH IT—RECENT ADVANCES MADE. All the nations of the earth that have observ- atories and big telescopes are about to join to- gether in the work of taking a photograph. The sky is the object to be photographed—the sky with all its myriads of stars, As no pho- tographer can get a point of view from which he can focus the whole sky at once, the heavens will be divided up into sections, and farmed out to different nations, Capt. Phythian, the superintendent, and the astronomers at the naval observatory are anxious to take part in this international enterprise, but by reason of the failure of Congress to provide the 250,000 asked by the Navy department for the work, they have been obliged to delay their prepara- tions until Congress meets again, The money is required for the purchase of a photographic telescope and pointer, the construction of @ suitable building and domes, the mounting of | the instruments, and to pay for material for photographic work. In case Congress makes aa ix expected, it is thought at the observatory that the required instruments may be com- leted by the time the new observatory build- ings to be erected on the site north of George- town are ready to receive them. HOW THE WORK WILL BE DONE. The general plan of the proposed work was decided at a congress of astronomers held in Paris in April, 1887. Lieut. Winterhalter, of the navy.now attached to the naval observatory, represented the United States in that congress, The character of the instruments to be used was determined, and many other matters, to enable an observer in any part of the world to engage in the undertaking with a correct under- standing of what the others were doing so he could make his work correspond with theirs. Another conference will be held in Paris durin; the exposition this summer and then the final details will be settled. The heavens will be di- vided into zones, beginning with the north pole. Each zone or section will be five or ten degrees in width, and it will be assigned to some ob- servatory in convenient latitude, There is a chain of observatories in this stellar confederation that will cover every inch of the sky, both i the northern and southern hemisphere. The French gov ernment will establish an observatory for the ur se on Reunion island, off the coast of Madagascar. have a station in New Zealand. Germany, England, Brazil, Chili, Spain. Mexico and the Argentine Republic have each one instrument in process of construction. Australia has two under way, while France has one already com- pleted at Paris and three others in the hands of a constructor. It is expected, also, that instru- ments, of the kind required, will be built for other observatories in England, Denmark, Aus- tria, and Russia. THE INSTRUMENT USED. The character of the work makes it neces- sary that the instruments used in the various observatories shall be alike. Care must be taken also to have photographic plates of the same degree of sensitiveness. The plates taken must all be on the same scale, so when the whole is completed the work of one observa- tory can be compared with or combined with that of another. is really a double teleseope—the telescope being combined with a “pointer” or visual telescope. The “pointer” is used, as its name indicates, in bringing the photographic apparatus to bear upon the section of the heavens to be taken. ‘The- telescope, which it is proposed to build for the Naval Observatory is a refractor, the photographic lens being 134 inches in diameter and the visual lens 11 inches in diameter. It will be swung upon an equa- torial axis and have the usual appliances for operating it, Asastar cannot be induced to remain stationary and sit for its photograph, the instrument has a clock-work attachment, which swings it slowly in a circle, so as to al- ways keep a star or other heavenly body in the field. The two telescopes are to be construc! of the same focal length, so that the images in both will be on the same focal plain. Lieut. Winterhalter told a Star reporter that the work of photographing would be com- leted in two years after it was begun. The Naval Observatory is situated in a latitude south of the chief observatories in Europe, and to its share naturally falls a zone or field of work that could not conveniently be covered without its co-operation. THE PROGRESS OF STELLAR PHOTOGRAPRY. Stellar photography, although brought to perfection by the Henry Brothers, of Paris, is really of American origin. Dr. Henry Draper, Lieut. Winterhalter said to a Star reporter, took in 1840 the first photograph that was ever hotographic nd the British government will | ‘The instrument decided upon | secured of a heavenly body. The object photo- | graphed was the moon. ‘Some years before when the daguerreotype process was invented an effort was made with it in France to secure photographs of celestial bodies, but the at- tempt was unsuccessful, Dr. Draper's experi- ments gave an indication of the possibilities of stellar photography. His work was supple- mented by that of Prof. Bond at Cambridge, Mass. At that time the best plates that could be obtained were not sensitive enough to pro- duce good results in photographing stars. To getan impression from even the brightest stars required a long exposure, and the work was carried on under great difficulties due to the imperfect operation of photographic plate: The work was taken up again by Lewis M. Rutherfurd, of New York, who cleared the wa for the modern achievements in_ stellar photo- graphy. He began by making his own. tele- scopes, and in his experiments conducted from 186; were much better adapted to this purpose th the materials at the command of his pred sors. He — succee in photographing stars down to the eighth maguitnde, stars not visible to the unaided eye. He got pictures of the Pleiades, which were compared with results of observat other methods and ascertained measurements, and found to be mathematically corrert. The failure of Mr. Rutherfurd’s health prevented his pushing his experiments to still greater sne- cess, He recorded his conclusion that it was only a question of time when the stars would be required to chart themselves on photo- graphic plates, All that was needed, thought, was a development of the chemical processes of photography to produce more sensitive plates and to insure success. He de- signed a telescope for such work, a refractor corrected for the photographic rays, and the telescope he designed is substantially what has been since adopted by and approved by the astronomers of the worid. ACHIEVEMENTS OF THE HENRY BROTHERS. The Henry brothefs, famous astronomers of Paris took up the experiments where Ruther- turd left off, and going on in the same line achieved marvellous results, At first they con- structed a small telescope, und the results were 80 promising that they were encouraged to try alarger one. With this mstrument they were able to photograph the satellite of Neptune, a body so insignificant that no telescope in P. had ever before been able to make it ble. It is abont all that the big fees at the naval observatory can do, The achievements of this instrument in the hands of the Henry brothers at once attracted the attention of scientific men all over the world. One result was that the astronomers of Paris proposed the congress which met in that city in April, 1887, for the purpose of planning @ general photographic attuck upon the sky from every quarter of the globe. Jt was decided there to take as the standard an instrument like that with which such wonderful results had been produced in Paris. It was thought best to seek the co-op- eration of the governments of the world, and to get each government observatory to take a share of the work. ‘The undertaking proposed was of sich a character that it was not deemed likely that private observatories could enter into it ou account of the expense involved. ADVANTAGES OF PHOTOGRAPHIC CHARTS, One result hoped for from the proposed pho- tographic charting of the sky is the relief of practical astronomers from much of the most wearying drudgery of their work. ‘The stars are charted and catalogued now by the most patient toil. When a star comes on the line in the field of an observer's transit glass its position is carefully noted. When one considers that the great telescopes bring to light mi’lions of stars whose existence was uever dreamed of by the telescopeless man, the wearying, hopeless, end- less character of the observer's work is appar- ent. Of course the — will not do away with all necessity of ol usual manner, but they will greatly assist the astronomer. Another advantage claimed for photography is that the element of personal error” is almost wholly eliminated from the operation. The correctness of the record will not depend on the accuracy of the eye and hand ns by of the observer. The plates will be made on an exact scale, From stars whose posi- tions have been rtained by transit observations the positi: of any others on the plate can be determined by measurements Siegen ses robe Oy bsisnal by use of tographi astronomer can do Eis work at this leisure.

READY TO HAUL THEIR NETS. Fishermen Preparing for Their Annual Campaign on the Potomac. SCENES ALONG THE RIVER FRONT—SHORES THAT WILL BE “FISHED” THIS SUMMER—HOW THE CATCH I8 DISPOSED OF-—-BENEFICIAL EFFECTS OF THE LAW TO PROTECT THE FISHERIES. With but little ice during the winter and no severe freshet this spring, the fishing season has opened unusually early. Already the itin- erant fish-peddler is heard on the street calling “Fresh shad and herring!” The prospects for a good catch, some of the fishermen say, are good. Along the river front it is expected that the fish will arrive in abundance as soon as the large nets are sent to the fishing shores and the fishermen get to work. There are a number of what are known as summer-seine haulers at work uow and they are supplying this market with a large quantity of fish. before the large haul-seines will be in operation. Just what shores are to be worked this season is not yet settled, It is not thought that there will be more than ten at the most where the fisher- men will take their chances to reap a harvest. Last year seine was hauled at an extra large number of shores and some of the haulers lost money. Some of the shores rent for from $1,500 to $2,000 in addition to the fee charge 1 for fishing them, so that with the payment of the expenses incidental to the’ prosecution of the work, the cost is so great that a good catch has to be made to meet expenses. SHORES TO BE FISHED, Stony Point, Fairy Landing, Moxley’s Point, Gums, and Windmill shores will be fished, and possibly a few others. Then there is Tent Landing, Chatman’s Point, Greenway, Fort Washington, White House and other shores, Some of them will also afford the fishermen an opportunity of trying their luck. Now that the large seines are soon to start there is a de- mand for hands. Fishtown has waked up, and business has begun in earnest. During the past week there have been some large arrivals in Fishtown from the small seines on the lower Potomac. The fish caught now run larger than those caught later in the season and bring bet- ter prices, not because they are large but be- cause the demand is larger and they find readv sale. The hucksters who peddle first in the summer and winter put ina few spare weeke now disposing of fish from door to door. THE PRICES OF FISH, The principal fish caught this early in the season are shad, herring, white perch, yellow perch, catfish, jacks or taylors and eels. Shad are selling at $20 to €35 per hundred, while herring will not bring more than a cent apiece. Rockfish, 50c, to 75c. per bunch perch (large size), 50c. to 75e. per bune! pereh (small size) to 25e. per bune’ low perch, 5e. to 25c. per bunch; catfish eels, 10c, to 25c. per bunch. each. The fish arrive in oyster boats that have given up the oyster business for the season, and are usually sold under the hammer at whatever prices they will bring, Shad and rockfish are always in demand, and bring good prices. Large perch also find ready sale. Cat- fish and eels are soid at cheaper prices because the demand for them is not so great, That gives the wharf hands a better chance, and there are but few of them who fail to carry home a bunch of either catfish or ecls when their day's work is finished. — Jack fish, or tay- lors as they are sometimes called. resemble the shad and are often sold as such to housekeep- ers by dishonest hucksters. They are also called hickory shad. ‘They are very bony fish, and consequently bring small prices, THE SMALL BOY ON HAND. At the fish wharf the small boy has already appeared with his pin hook and cotton line, He thinks that thg fish wharf is the only place where he can catch fish. Many small boys who start from bome in the morning to attend school find themselves on this wharf before noon. The truant hides his books under his vest, and with an old stick fora fishing rod enjoys the day until it is time to return home. During the present week there has been a num- ber of such boys on the fish wharf who have succeeded in catching a stray mullet, a yellow perch or smelt. THE PROTECTIVE LAW, The law passed for the protection of fish in the waters of the Potomac within the District of Columbia is still in force. The law was passed in March, 1845, to run for five years, so that the fish in this part of the river protected for at least another year. ‘The first section of the act provides: “That from and after the passage of this act, for a term ot five years, it shall not be lawful to fish with fyke- het, pound-net, stake-net, weir, float-net, gill- net, haul-seine, or any other contrivance, sta- tionary or floaiing, in the waters of the Po- tomac river within the District of Columbia.” ‘The second section provides: “That any per- son who shall offend against any of the provis- ions of this act shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, and upon sufticient proof thereof in the Police Court, or other courtof the Dis- trict of Columbia, shall be punished by a fine of not less than #10 nor more than £100 for each and every such offense, and shall forfeit to the District his nets, boats, and all other apparatus and appliances used in violation of law, which shall be sold; and the proceeds of such sales and all fines accruing under this act shall be paid into the treasury: Provided, that nothing in this act shall be construed to pro- hibit angling or fishing with the outline, or to prevent th pitied tiaian commissioner of fish and fisheries, or his agents, from taking from said waters of the Potomac river in the District of Columbia, in any manner desired, fish of any kind for scientifie purposes or for the purpose of propagation.” THE FISHERIES BENEFITED. This act many of the fishermen say has been the means of greatly benefiting the Potomac fish, because the spawning ground is princi- ally between wort roote and the Chain bridge. t session of Congress an effort will be made to have the act renewed, Under this act all gcine-hauling within the District has been stopped with but very few exceptions, The police carefully watched the river and captured three or four persons caught violat- ing the law. Violations of ths law are gener- ally committed late at night when the officers are not supposed to be about, but in several instances the officers were on the alert, and law-breakers were captured. The police boat, Joe Blackburn, will start ont on patrol duty shortly, and will prevent any violations of thia law. The boat can make good time, and it will be almost impossible for persons’ in row- boats violating the law to get away from the oflicers on the boat. — BOOKS OF THE WEEK. PROFIT SHARING BE!

The Approaching Marriage of Miss Dorothy Phillips. —_— HOW EDWARD HILTON WON HIS SUIT—COURTSHIP AT SARATOGA AND MABRIAGE AT WASHINGTON— THE BRIDE-ELECT AND HER ESTEEMED GUARD- IANS—WHERE THE HONEYMOON WILL BE PASSED. Vows of love in summer, violets in winter, and a nuptial altar in spring. Thus in quick transition, in the experience of one of Wash- ington’s fairest belles, transpired the tender transactions of courtship with a happy culmi- nation fast nearing a marriage feast. Among the summer visitors at Saratoga, the town of patriotic memories and fashionable re- laxation, were a jurist learned in the theory, the practice and the application of the law; his wife, a woman who had long figured prom- inently in social scenes, and a belle who had many suitors, but whose heart was free. It was a solstice outing, away from the imagined heat of the capital, When the journey started it was only with thoughts of a joyous episode in life's uneventful routine. When it ended there oye retrospect of happy experiences and a prospect of a still brighter consummation, Among the pleasure-seeking concourse at Saratoga was Edward Hilton, whose father, the possessor of a splendid residence in the place, was established for the summer. The father was the confidential friend of A. T. Stewart, the merchant prince of New York, when alive, and at his death the executor of his vast estate and the agent of the deceased _millionaire’s widow. His wise management of the estate had swelled i ts proportions and the demise of the widow had increased the cares and_ responsibilities of the executor, The usual litigation of heirs fol- lowed. In the trial of the case the son was an important witness, He lett Paris, where his business kept him, and came to the United States to perform his part in that case. The tedious processes of judicial inquiry and deter- mination detamed him. He had gone to Sara- togo with his father’s household to await the end of the labors of the tribunal of justice. MISS DOROTHY PHILLIPS, Mr. Arthur McArthur and wife, and Miss Do- rothy Phillips, Washington, D. C., were among the latest arrivals inscribed upon the page of the hotel register. The young lady, very beau- tiful. with means of her own, butalone in the world, was enjoying the kind chaperonage of Mrs. McArthur. She possessed a handsome face and even more charming manner. The arge was also observant of the con- ies of polite ways. ite Justice McArthur, a man of Scotch nativity and lineage from the sanguinary field of Culloden, but of Massachusetts childhood, youth and manhood, a student at Oxbridge academy and Wilbraham seminary, and a grad- uate of Amherst, had for nineteen years sat on the supreme bench of the District of Colum- bia. Mrs. McArthur, who was Mary L. Wolcot, of Boston, daughter of an eminent builder. had presided over the justice’s Washington home since they took up their residence there in 1870. They were well known to the best so- of the capital. Not a great many years ago Hiram Walbridge, one of the most popular representatives from the empire state, married the widow of Major Blake, a man of spirit and influence, who left two daughters, One of these daughters mar- ried Dr. Dinwiddie B. Phillips. a surgeon in the United Statesarmy, Two daughters were born, one Dorothy and the other Frances Phillips, THE COURTSHIP. While the jurist and his wife were mingling with the gay frequenters of the famous resort their charge was reigning as the belle of all the belles of the season, The son of the mil- lionaire trustee of the estate of millions was | caught up by that mysterions infinence. and was soon found foremost inthe train of her suitors. Some were toying with fancy and con- ceit, but Hilton wasin earnest. It was a des- erate case of love at first sight. The beauti- al maiden found her own heart involved in reciprocal emotion. The contagion of love had involved two hearts, A diamond ring of rareet design and unmeasured value sealed the proposal and acceptance. The approbation of and friends followed, Secret confi- innocent adventures and the rendering of,vows filled out the season of summer, AT HOME, The venerable justice and his wife returned to the capital with their charge. Their beau- tiful home was now a shrine. The maiden now was never lonely for lack of remembrances of love. Her boudoir was a bower of bloom. The advent of the new year found the parlors of the McArthur mansion a summer garden of white and purple lilacs, fragrant violets and roses in profusion. The ardent lover made fre- a visits to his fiancée while time was in- differently trudging along toward the wedding A THE WEDDING. On the 23d of April, at John’s, the Episco- pal church of many associations with marriages, baptisms, and funeral ceremonies in the high life of the capital, the last scene in this brief and prosperous love and courtship will be cele- brated. The bride will wear the nuptial robes of white in silk with veil and train, ‘The brides: maids, Miss Minnie Brown and Miss Ethel In- galls will wear directoire gowns, with pink oe reaped directoire coata and slippers and wats, the gift of the bride, to match, while Miss Maud Davidge «nd Miss Sussie Randall will be robed in a similar toilet in Nile green asa contrasting hue. The maid of honor will be the brides sister, Frances Phillips, in an em- pire gown of white, and the bride's bouquet will be borne by Muriel Ingalls, a younger daughter of the President pro tempore of the Senate. Aristides Preston, son of the dean of the diplomatic corps, and James Morrill, son of the Senator from Vermont, will lead the groomsmen, and William Raff and Orlando Wales will be the chief ushers, THE WEDDING SOUVENIRS from the groom will be a diamond cluster in the form cf rays of diamonds and other precious stones, and earrings of pearl. The venerable | jurist will give the bride to her future husband. The honeymoon will be passed journeying to many places in their own land, followed by a | brief sojourn at the paternal mansion on the Hudson, a May voyage to Europe, and a three Years’ residence at the French capital. THE BRIDE-ELECT is of medium height. with a slightly oval face, brown eyes, and glossy black hair. In manner she has the captivating style of the typical American girl. She has a melodious voice, and her fluency in French will make her ay much a favorite as a bride in the American Colony at Paris as she was popular as a belle at Wash- ington, ‘fhe suit of love and the suit at law have been won. The devices of litigation to break the will of the Stewarts have turned in favor of the defendants in the courts, and the case of Phillips and Hilton will be ratified in favor of the respondents according to the forms of re- ligion. eB.
