THE EVENING STAR: WASHINGTON, D.C., SATURDAY, MAY 11, 1889—TWELVE PAGES. IN OFFICIAL SOCIETY. FAMILIES CF PROMINENT MEN. Accomplished Helpmates who Adorn the Domestic Circle. The ladies who will adorn the high sphere in the social activity of the capital, of which Mrs. Harrison will be the central figure, represent many of the gifts which contribute so much to the refining influences of fashionable inter- course. Mrs. Noble, the wife of the Secretary of the Interior, is the literary lady of the cabi- get. She isa native of Northampton, Mass., and has had all the opportunities of a New England education and training. MRS. NOBLE. Dr. Hatfield Halstead took great pride in the mental gifts of his daughter Elizabeth. After her marriage at her home in Northampton, in 1864, having met her future husband at the residence of her sister, who was the wife of Mr. Noble’s law partner, at Keokuk, Mrs. Nobie &2ve fall scope to her literary instincts and esthetic tastes. There wasa striking congeni- ality between herself and her husband in this respect. Their home, after their removal to St. Louis, was one of the most attractive in the whole west in works of art and the treasures of Literature. ‘THE FAMILY. The Secretary and Mrs. Noble have in their family Mrs. Nobles’ two sisters—Misses Lula | and Leonora Halstead—who will add to the re- | fined and cultivated surroundings of the Noble | residence at the capital next season. M Noble, with her brilliant mind and convers tional’ powers; Mise Lulu, with all the aecom- Plishments attending a full course at Vassar, | and Mies Leonora, possessing a phenomenal | talent for music, and both having the addi- tional advantage of a finished course abroad, will open to the fashionable world of Washing- ton a household which will soon become the | rendezvous of the literary and artistic lights | of the season. Washington has now become a | favorite resort for literary men and women and | artists, but there has _no* yet been a household | in the higher official life of the capital where | this class might feel a sort of community of | Saterest and taste on the part of the presiding | ly. « MRS. LORING. The first diplomatic representation of the United States at the court of Portugal was dur- ng the reign of Maria, the First, when Presi- dent Washington, in 1791, sent his former staff officer and special and social follower, David Humphreys, to Lisbon as minister resident. Humphreys was a man of education and courtly manners, and after considerable experience as secretary of legation under Jefferson at France, returned to the United States. He was inti- mate at the residence of the first President, and through that fact and his social experience be- came identified with the social history of the first administration as the person whoarranged, under the direction of the President, the forms and ceremonies attending the first reception given by President Washington after his inau- guration. After the lapse of nearly a century the = ernment will have as its representative another courtly gentleman from New England in the — of Dr. George B. Loring. The resi- nce of Dr. Loring in Washington since his first appearance as member of the House of Representatives, and later as Commissioner of agriculture, has alw: been one of the Fecognized social centers of the capital. ‘THE HOUSEHOLD of the new minister to Portugal consists of his wife and daughter, who are well-known in social circles. Mrs. Loring was Miss Anna Smith, of New York city. She was born and educated at the great commercial metropolis. Her Father, Isaxc T. Smith, was for many years well-known in financial circles as a bank resident. Mr. Smith was a native of Boston, ie mother of Mrs. Loring was descended from the most historic families of New Eng- land. She was Elizabeth Putnam, daughter of Judge Henry Putnam, of Brunswick, Me., who was a descendant of Gen. Israel Putnam, celebrated in the opening days of the War of Independence. Her maternal ancestors were also distinguished. Her great grandfather, Gen. Joseph Palmer, was born in Devonshire: England, in 1716. He came to the colonies when @ young man and settled in New England. His son, Gen. Joseph Pierce Palmer, was one of the party who boarded the British vessels and threw the tea chests into the harbor of Boston in the first days of the revolutionary controversy. He was a brigadier-general in the continental army under Washington, presi- dent of the provincial congress, and an inti- mate friend of John Adams. In commemora- tion of his distinguished service a fine monu- ment has been erected to his memory in Massa- chusetts, IN WASHINGTON, While a Representative in Congress, Dr. Loring met Miss Smith in New York city and in 1880 made her his bride. Since his marriage he has maintained a residence in Washington. Being at the head of the department of Agri- culture, a position of almost cabinet promi- ence then, and recently given a place in the statutory council of the Fresiaent, he enter- tained very handsomely. During the latedem- ocratic adininistration, in private life his res idence wasa favorite resort for fashionable society irrespective of politics, His summer residence is at Salem, Mass, Mrs. Loring during her nearly ten years’ resi- deuce in Washington has contributed through ber grace of manner and many accomplish- ments great pleasure to the social circles of the capital. She is connected with several useful charities, in which she has been a great worker, She is highly educated. Her familiarity with the French language will add largely to her so- prominence at the court of King Louis L Minister and Mrs. Loring will sail for Lisbon, hhe seat of their diplomatic residence, on June 5. ‘The minister to the ancient seat of mundane predeur and capital of modern Italy, ex-Gov. G. Porter, of Indiana, being a widower, the presiding lady of the legation at Rome will be Annie Porter, the minister's daughter. She was born at Indianapolis. Her mother, the first wife of the minister, was Miss Minerva Brown. daughter of one of the leading attor. neys of Indianapolis and a cotemporary of the President. ‘The second wife of Minister Porter was Miss Cornelia Stone, of western New York, whom he met in Washington They were married just after his inauguration as governor of Indiana, in 1881. The minister's son, George T. Porter, isa practicing lawyer. ' Ohio. Miss Porter was well known in Washi: so- ciety during her father’s residence ey ape tal as comptroller of the Treasury. She was very popular, and in her new sphere will make the social life of the American diplomatic rep- fesentation at the court of King Humbert very attractive, GEN. BUSSY. During the early stages of the late war the Third Iowa cavalry was one of the most noted mounted volunteer organizations, having made @ record for dashing reconnoissances and charges in the front of Grant’s army in the Tennessee. time Cyrus Bussy, now as- @etant Secretary of the Interior, was colonel of the iment, and John joble, now Secre- tary of War, its adjutant. Their nal ties are, therefore, held by recollections of early ips and warlike memories. MISS HILLIS, General Bussy, in 1955, married Miss Ellen Kiser at Rockfoyd, Ind., the residence of her father, Dr. Wm. Kiser, M. D. Twenty-six years after Mrs. Bussey died near New Orleans, having left her home in that city only four days before for a short visit to the country. The eldest daughter, Cora, took charge of her father’s household. She was highly educated in the fashionable schools of New Orleans, and after her graduation maintained her interest in ursuit of knowledge. Having married Mr. lsaac Lea Hillis, of Des Moines, a graduate of the Des Moines university, she exchanged her maternal home for a home of her own at Des Moines. In addition to her household duties she became interested in a literary society composed of the most promi- nent ladies of the state capital She has written numerous articles which have attracted great attention, among them one on James Browning. Her husband is a son of Judge Hillis, now a resident of California, nephew of Dr. David B. Hillis, of Keokuk, Iowa, who was colonel of the seventeenth Iowa infantry. and was brevetted brigadior-general for distinguished services in the campaign against Vicksburg, and grandson of David Lillis, of Washington county, Penn., who im- igrated to Indiana and was captain in the war of 1812, and until his death, in 1855, held dis- tinguished posts in judicial, legislative and stgte, and national affairs, THE WASHINGTON RESIDENCE. Mrs. Hillis will preside over the Washington residence of her father, intending to arrive at the capital at the close of the heated term. She has two beautiful children. The social attrac- tion of Assistant Secretary Bussy’s Washington home will be increased by the presence of his younger danghter, Laura, who is with her sister in Des Moines. Although in society she has been an invalid for many years. owing to an ac- cident in her childhood. ‘The family of Assist- ant Secretary Bussy is prominently associated with national atfairs and pioneer colonization. He is English on his mother’s side, his an- estors having settled in Connecticut, near Haddom. His grandfather, Samuel Tyler, was one of the first settlers of Trumbull county, A sister of this ancestor was the mother of Benjamin F. Butler, of New York, who was Attorney-General and Secretary of War during the Jefferson and Van Buren administrations. Assistant Secretary Bussy’s father, Rev, Amos Bussy, was a minister of the Methodist Episco- pal church, having distinguished himself as a pulpit or:.tor in the conjgrences of Erie, Indi- ana, and Iowa, The hole of Gen. Bussy will add‘to the attractions of the households of the assistant secretaries, which will play a more Prominent part in ‘the social affairs of the resent administration than has been shown in De B.

Agent Key Makes Some Suggestions About Disposition of Disabled Horses. “There has been a great improvement in the character of the horses driven in the streets of Washington,” said Mr. Key, agent of the Hu- mane society, toa Sran reporter. “Still there are many old broken-down and sick animals here yet. Many lame animals are being worked, but they are being weeded out as fast as pos ble. Horses are brought here from the coun- try and from other places, and are sold for almost anything. Some of them bring €2, while others go high and beyond the reach of poor persons. Ten-dollar horses used to be plentiful, but there are not so many here now as there were a few years ago. “The question of what to do with disabled animals,” continued Mr. Key, “has long puz- zled horse owners in this city. Car horses as well as horses owned by individuals become disabled, have their limbs broken, or meet with an accident that renders them useless, There is a way to dispose of such animals that will not only be profitable to the owners of the horses, but will also be of benefit to the com- munity. As such an animal is now disposed of the owner gets $1 while the man to whom it is sold makes a profit of 210or more. In the first place he gets 25 for the hide and then sells the other portions of the dead animal for different purposes, A MARKET FOR HORSE FLESH. “These animals can be used to much better advantage,” said Mr. Key. “My idea is to take such horses as are in good health and slaughter them for food for dogs and chickens. In that event the owners of dogs and chickens could et the best food for them at reasonable prices, fr the experiment were tried there should, of course, be certain restrictions placed upon the business, In the first place, horses are apt to be diseased,and to insure against such a bonded butcher should be appointed to do the killing. He should also be required to obtain a certifi- cate of health from a veterinary —— in the case of each animal slaughtered. this idea was carried out, the owners of horses that be- come disabled would receive $10 instead of $1 each for their animals. In preparing the meat the proper way would be to run the flesh through a mill and grind it and then keep it in a cool place until sold, Meat prepared in that way could be sold for three or four centsa pound and would prove a valuable investment, especially to the owners of kennels and to peo- ple who raise chickens. FOOD FOR WILD ANIMALS, “Our home consumption would sustain the market,” said Mr. Key, “to say nothing of the transient trade. Take, for instance, the wild animal shows that pass through the city, The meat would make excellent food for the ani- mals and would command a good price. I vis- ited the circus.” said Mr. Key, “and examined the quality of the meat which was being fed to the animals. It was ordii beef and cost a great deal more than horse flesh could be pur- chased for. I learned from one of the men that while in winter quarters the animals are fed on horse-flesh when such flesh can be ob- tained. He had no doubt but that menagarie- owners would purchase such flesh for their ani- mals while on the road if supplies could be obtained.” ———+e+____ Written for Tre Evexrxe Star, The Symbolic Church, “What ts more alive among works of art than our Plain old wooden church, built a century and a quarter Ago, with the ancient New E: Spire ¢ 7 9 © Not less than the marbie cai it had its origin in sublime aspirations, in the august relisxion of mau.

A Visit to the Country of Gog and Magog. WITH THE CAMELS INTO MONGOLIA—A LABYRINTH OF ROADS AND HOW THEY ARE TRAVELED— PECULIAR PONIES—TOMBS OF THE GREAT MING DYNASTY—INTERESTING MONGOLIAN VILLAGES. From Tae Stan's Traveling Commissioner. Pexrya, April 8, 89. The first time I met acamel-train near Peking Ireined up my pony and feasted my eyes upon it, Andalthough I have seen thousands since then, I find them justas amusing as ever. The two-humped or Bactrian camels of northern China are much bigger than those we know at home, and I have seen few sights so pictur- esque asa string of them approaching over these brown plains. A dozen are fastened to- gether by a cord attaching the nose of one to the tail of the other; a bell, a couple of feet jong, is hung round the neck of the last to warn the driver in front by its teasing if the line breaks anywhere; a medley of bales and boxes and clothing is slung on their backs; ruddy-faced Mongols, dressed in scarlet and yellow, with ornaments of gold and silver in profusion, sit up aloft and smile at you as you pass; the great shaggy beasts step softly along, ingeniously out of step, lifting their sponge-like feet and dropping them again with | erties and unvarying deliberation, the whole ‘ain moving with the silence of a dream bro- ken only by the jang-jang of the solitary bell. Their big brown‘eyes look you straight in the face and there is something pathetic and re- proachful in their glance. “You are laughing at me,” they seem to say, “and I know Iam an extraordinary looking creature. But then, if You ouly knew it, so are you, and it would’ be under to think of my services than to laugh at my shape.” All day long one street of Peking is filled with these picturesque processions, gaunt, wretched, creatures, with worn-out coats and covered with coal-dust, carrying sacks of coal from the Western Hills into Pe- king; and the far finer and better kept animals bearing tea away up into the north, During all my stay in Peking I longed for the moment when I too should ride away at dawn toward Mongolia, in the worn tracks of these strange beasts and their merry masters. A LABYRINTH OF ROADS, My pony was a little creature not much bigger than a dog and with a white coat as long and thick as a polar bear's. The mafoo had bought him a few days before from a Mongol for 20 taels and he had never had a foreign saddle and bridle on till I mounted him, There- fore the all-day ride was not s0 monotonous as usual, and for the first 5 miles it was even ex- citin; We started at daybreak and the sun was well above us before we got outside the two gates of Peking. Then the mafoo took the lead. Once in the open country we were ona great alluvial plain, dotted with mud houses, broken up by irregular patches of verdure and cultivation, laced in all directions by dozens of bridle-paths and ending on our left in the dim outlines of the Western Ifills, the summer sana- tarium of Peking. We plunged into the la rinth of roads and the mafoo threaded his way among them without a moment's hesitation. "WHERE FOREIGNERS ARE SCARCE. Afterward I found that he had been over them forty-six times before, but for my own part I could see hardly any signs by which to distinguish one from another. Till 11 o'clock we trotted steadily on, reaching then a small town called Sha-’ho, where we stopped an hour for rest and tiffin. Here already foreigners are scarce, and I was the center of much curiosity, keen and inquisitive, but quite good-natured. Crossing a river over two very old broad flat bridges of white marble, built curiously at an obtuse pits to each other, we emerged again into the plain, This grew more uneven as wo advanced, till at last we are riding along a narg row path on the sloping stony bank of a dry water course, The stone grew bigger and more numerous, till they could no longer be safely negotiated, and then my guide struck up to the right, and an hour's detour across country, with half a mile of such bad going at the end that I got off and led my pony, brought us at 3 o'clock to the fortified city of Nan-k’ou, 30 he from Peking, our resting place for the night. NAN-K'OU, Nan-k’ou is a very interesting little place, Its wall is in ruins, but that only makes it the more picturesque; on the hills right and left of the entrance to the pass which the city is snp- posed to guard are two sprightly little tower a dozen others are just visible dotted about the chain of hills around it; its one bros street, paved once with great blocks of stone, now worn away and upset till a pony can hardly make his way at all over their slippery rolling surface, is crowded with traffic of men and beasts, and every fifty yards a wide arched doorway leads into a spacious inn-yard. This street is part of the great commercis highway between China and all her neighbors of the north, Through it a constant stream of camels and ponies and donkeys and even laden coolies passes, bringing Mongol produce to Peking, and taking brick-tea back from Tient- sin to Kiackta on the Russian frontier. And through this street this stream has passed for who knows how many years—thousands, at any rate, CRUELTY TO ANIMALS, I strolled along it and turned into one of the gateways. ButI had only just time to step aside when a drove of at least a hundred ponies suddenly stampeded through it and rushed headlong through the street, whinnying and kicking up their heels in delight at being free, Just outside the city they drank greedily at a little stream and then rolled over and over each other in the dirt. But such aspectacle of cruelty to animals as was afforded by the state of their backs I have never seen. No one of them was without a large raw wound on each side, and half of them had horrible deep bleeding fester- ing sores bigger than two Hands. The sight was sickening, and nothing whatever was done for them except that afterward I saw a coolie beating the insides of the rough pack-saddles witha stick to keep the blood-soaked places from getting quite hard, Each pony was car- rying two bales of tea,as hard as blocks of — Itred the weight of one and found could just raise it off the ground. Therefore the po: were shockingly overloaded. CAMEIS AT REST, The camels require so much space for them- selves and their burdens that they have'special caravanserais, Their saddles, with the loads deposited on each side. are arranged in regu- rows. like game after a battue, and the animals betake themselves to a trough which runs all around the yard, squeezing close to- gether. The yard of a caravanserai at feeding time therefore exhibits a complete circular horizon of camels’ tails. When they have eaten they sink down and very deliberately chew the cud. It is just as well to keep on good terms with acamel, for when he is standing up he can swing his hind leg like a pendulum in an arc of about 20 feet, and therefore deliver a kick which would break in the door of a San Francisco gambling den; while when he is Jying down he can spare a couple of gallons of cu: to spit at an enemy. Isawa Mongol driver to whom this had happened, and the sight was unpleasant and instructive. Several hundred camels shared the hospitality of Nau-k’ou with me that night. TOWARD THE COUNTRY OF GOG AND MAGOG. Next morning we embarked upon little white donkeys, the pass being impracticable for pane This road in its glory is said to have en paved with great smooth granite blocks; now in the valley it is a broken mass of rough stones in a river bed, through which a shallow stream runs; while during the ascent and at the height of the pass it isa bad mountain road obstructed by great masses of rock. A couple of hours’ riding and walking brought us to another walled town called Chu-yung-kuan, famous for a heavy arched stone gateway, the whole inside of which is covered with sculptures in low relief and a Buddhist inscription in six lay jes—Chinese, Thibe- tan, Mongol, Sanscrit and two others t I could not get anyone to identify.

Mr. ‘oole’s famous account of it is as when he Magog.” | across the face is surrounded wit! human handson the globe visible from the moon. (i take no responsibility for either of these statements.) The Chinese name for it is Wan-li-ch’ eng, “the wall ten thousand i long.” And the gate on this highway is called Pa-ia-ling, and is about fifty miles northwest of Peking and 2,000 feet above the sea, Beyond it lies Mongolia, ON THE WALL, Half an hour after this first glimpse I stood upon the wall itself. The gateway is a large double one, with a square tower upon it,pierced with oblong openings for cannon. of which a dozen old ones lie in a heap, showing that at one time the road was seriously defended at this point. A rough stairway leads to the top. which is about 20 feet wide, with a crenellated parapet on each side, and you can walk along it as far as you can see, with here and there a scramble when it has fallen ina little. On the whole it is in excelient repair, having, of course, been mended and rebuilt many times. Every half mile or so isa little square tower of two stories. The wall itself varies a good deal in height according to the nature of the ground, averaging probably 40 feet. On one side Mon- golia, as you see it, is a vast undulating brown plain; on the other side China is a perfect sea of brown hills in all directions, and across these stretches the Great Wall. On the hill top, through the valleys, up and down the sides, it twists in an unbroken tes exactly like a huge earth-worm suddenly turned to stone. For many miles it is visible in both directions, and when you can no longer trace its entire length you can still discover it topping the hills one after another into the remote distance, A COLOSSAL ACHIEVEMENT. And when you reflect that it is built of bricks, in almost inaccessible places, through uninhab- ited countries, that each brick must have been transported on a man’s shoulders enormous distances, and that it extends for 2,000 miles, or one-twelfth of the circumference of the globe, you begin to realize that yon are looking upon the most colossal achievement of human hands. The bricks are so big and heavy that Il had to hire a little donkey to carry off two of them, This is the only piéce of vandalism to which I plead guilty on this trip, but the temptation was irresistible and “they never will be missed.” Nowadays, of course, the wall serves no defensive purpose whatever and is not guarded in any way. Not a soul lives within miles of it at most points and it is but a land- mark for the Mongols’ camel trains, a stupen- dous monument to the great past of China and an evidence of Celestial greatness and enter- prise goue never to return, TOMBS OF THE MING DYNASTY. After taking a dozen photographs and reflect- ing how comical now were the learned argu- ments produced in England a conple of years ago to prove that there was no su thing asa great wall of China, we turned Lack to Nan- k’ou, reaching there at nightfall. Next morn- ing before daylight we started for the tombs of the great Ming dynasty, 13 miles away, and as famous in China as the wall itself. These lie in a pleasant gteen valley surrounded with an almost complete circle of high wooded hills— an ideal spot for an emperor's grave. There are thirteen of them, called the Shili-san-ling, disposed in the form of acrescent, but the crescent is so extensive that only four or five of them canbe seen at once. ted the largest, the tomb of Yung-lo, who reigned about 1400, A square of p ane 200 yards ha high wall of plain red brick, The side of the hill forms the fourth side, and entrance is had through a pair of ordinary wooden doors, When you enter, the spectacle is not at all striking. There are a few little pavilions on either side of you, each covering a carved stone tortoise or an inscribed tablet, and in front a long low temple-shaped building with an approach of steps and balustrades in carved white marble. IN THE GLOOMY INTERIOR, Inside is gloom, through which you faintly discern the magnificent outlines of thirty-two enormous wooden columns, each a solid log of hewn and polished teak 12 feet round and 32 feet high. Where they came from—unless it was from Burmah—or how they were conveyed hither, nobody knows, but their grandeur is indisputable, In the center, upon a sort of stone table, stands a perfectly plain tablet of red lacquer, a couple of feet high anda foot wide, bearing the posthumous title of Yung-lo, “The perfect ancestor and literary emperor.” But the ancestor himself is not here. Passing out behind the great columns and again cross- ing the garden, at the edge of the hillside there is a solid square tower of brick and gran- ite, supporting a kind of obelisk, The sar- cophagus itself is deepin the hill, and upon the obelisk a long inscription narrates the deeds and extols the virtues of the long-de- parted Ming. On the whole, however, China disappoints you here once more, as everywhere and always, ‘The situation is finely chosen for the last resting-place of immortal emperors, but man’s handiwork rather weakens than en- lances the effectsof nature. There is no sug- gestion, for instance, of the solemnity of that cathedral aisle— “Where the warriors in the gloom Watch o’er Maximiltan’s tomb,” and there is nothing to arrest the hasty foot- step, lest even “the hushed tread” “Should burst the bands of the dreamless sleep, ‘That hold the mighty dead. A QUICK JOURNEY, As you ride away you passthrough an avenue of stone carvings, where pairs of knights and courtiers and lions and camels and elephants glare at you from each side, They are enorm- ous, being some 15 feet high and carved out of a solid block of stone; and wonderful, for you cannot imagine how they were transported. But they are utterly dwarfed by the hills around them, end soon your only recollection of them is only that your pony positively re- fused to pass between them and ended by bolting with you. And I may as well conclude by giving my little Polar bear of pony credit for the way in which he trotted back to Peking, 80 as to get there before the gates closed, in all 40 miles in four hours, with three-quarters of an. hour for rest and food. I have known costlier horseflesh make poorer progress, And when we got back again at last to Tientsin my mafoo sold him to the inkeeper for twice what he paid for him.
