AT THE MARINE BARRACKS. Some of the Gallant Soldiers of the Sea and Their Wives. LADres WHO LEAD SOCIAL GAIETIES UNDER THE CORPS BANNER—WOMEN OF DISTINGUISHED LINEAGE—FAMILY HISTORIES INTIMATELY CON- NECTED WITH NATIONAL HISTORY. ‘The “Mondays” at the marine barracks dur- ing the fashionable season are among the greatest attractions in the social hfe of the capital, The concerts of the Marine band, un- der the direction of Prof. Sousa, not only pleas the senseof harmony among the lovers of Music, but the informal hops which foliow are always a source of delight to the gay young matrons and bells who assemble at the bar- racks upon these occasions, During these summer months the band concerts on Thurs- day evenings afford a pleasurable diversion for society people who are detained in the city. ‘The warriors of the sea are a handsome set of men, wear the best and showiest of uniforms, and have all the social training of the navy with the discipline and gallantry of the army. The marine corps is the oldest branch of the armed service of the government. It was cre- ated by statute of the Continental Congress be- fore either the army or navy had an existence and fought the first battle. The first victory of the Revolution was won by landing a party of marines in the Bahama Islands. The ec has maintained its prestige in every war of the republic against its foes, foreign and domestic, during more than a century which has elapsed since. The ladies of the marine corps represent the feminine counterpart of the officers of their little army of warlike amphibians in beauty wit, culture, social grace and generous hospi- tality. MRS. COL, M’ CAWLEY. The first lady of this coterie of charming women is Mrs. Charles G. McCawley, wife of the gallant colonel commandant. Mrs. McCawley was Miss Elise Alden Hender- son. of Philadelphia, Her father, Henry Henderson, was a retired Baltimore merchant, but resident of Philadelphia. Her tother, Delia Alden, was a sister of Admiral James Alden, “Fighting Jimmy,” of the navy. Her aunt Eliza Alden, another sister of the admiral, married T. S. Arthur, of Philadelphia, a well- kuown writer. Miss Henderson was educated at Pelham priory, celebrated young ladies’ school on Long Isiand kept by Miss Bolton, an English lady of very superior gifts. Miss Henderson met ber future husband at Charlestown, Mass.. while he was stationed in command of the marine guard at the Boston Bavy-yard. Their marriage took place in June, 1870. "In August, 1871, Lieut-Col. McCawley was ordered to command the marine barracks at Washington Mrs. McCawley then made her first ap; ce in Washington society. Col. MeCawley, son of Captain James Mc- Cawley, of the marines, who distinguished him- self in the Florida war, was born in Philadel- phis and entered the marine corps in 1847 for service with the army in Mexico. He partici- pated in the storming of the Castle of Chapultepec and taking of the City of Mexico and was brevetted first lieutenant for gallantry in those actions. After an active career on sea and land he commanded the detachment which reoccupied Norfolk navy-yard and in the boat attack on Fort Sumpter, in 1863, and was brevetted major for distinguished services, Since the war he has been in command at the different navy-yards, In November, 1876, having been promoted to the rank of colonel commandant, in the follow- ing May the new chief officer of the corps and Mrs. MeCawley took possession of the com- mandant’s residence at the marine barracks, the headquarters of the coi Mrs. McCaw- ley has since done the social honors of the corps in the fashionable circles of the capital. Col. McCawley has two fine sons, one of whom assists him in the clerical duties of the colonel commandant’s office. During the social season Mrs. McCawley holds drawing-rooms,which are largely attended by the very elite of the fash- ionable circles of Washington official and unof- ficial life. The ladies of the families of the officers of the staff departments of the marine service at Washington form an interesting group about the first lady of the corps. Mrs. Augustus S. Nicholson, wife of the adjutant and ispector of the corps, a beautiful blond of medium height and prematurely gray, was Jane Jessup, daughter of Colonel Jessup, the brave Indian fighter whogave the red savages such a dis- astrous rout in Florida, capturing the sly old endivg that warrior Osceola, thus practically Jong aud stubborn war. MRS. COL. GOODLOE. The wife of that tall, handsome type of a thoroughbred biue-grass Kentuckian, Major Green Clay Goodloe, was well known in Wasb- ington society as Miss Bettie Beck, a tall, lithe, graceful aud winning young woman, daughter of that sterling Scotch-American, James Bb, Beck, Senator of the United States from Ken- tucky. On her mother’ cousin of General Washington, Her rt, Jane Washington Augusta Thornton Beck, was the grandniece of General George Washington, which makes Mrs. Goodloe us nearly related to the commander-in-chief of the Continental armies and first President of the Uniged States as any one now living. Mrs. Goodloe ss Bettie Beck was very popular in society. After her marriage to the gallant cus- todian of the money chest of the marine corps she continued to assist her mother at her drawing-rooms. Since her mother’s death she bas devoted almost her whole time to the care of her father, who has been in ill health. She resides at ber country home, “Woodreve,” about four miles from Washington, in Prince George's county, Maryland. Mrs. Horatio B. Lowry, wife of the quarter- master of the corps, is also a lady of historic ancestry. She was Charlotte Hunting- Young. Aurora, N. ¥. Her father, Charles Clarke Young, was one of the founders of the Phi Beta Kappa society of Union col- lege and a descendant of Judge John Young, a Seotch-Irishman, After i ‘Which he possessed in Ohio, and in 1797 founded the now ente: i of ¥ Ses arce eee ettomee i Hi [ Washington. nf ef rf i THE EVENING STAR: WASHINGTON, San Jose, Lower California, and held the fort for six months the Mexican until by Captain Shubrick ‘in be garrison, under Lieut. Haywood, were about to make ® sortie when they heard the guns of Shubrick’s vessel, He was in com- mand of the marine of the Cumberland when she was sunk by the Merrimac and lost twenty out of thirty-five of his men. Mrs. Haywood is not particularly fond of so- ciety and therefore does not take a very active in the fashionable gaieties of the fe rerd ut in the quieter circle of her personal she is a great favorite on account of her agree- able manners and other gifts which lead to womanly friendships. rel ‘MRS. CAPT. MANNIX. Mrs, Ella Butler Stevens Mannix, wife of Capt. D. Mannix, is one of the most entertaining and attractive ladies in social life. During her young-ladyhood she was a great belle in Wash- ington fashionable circles. Her father, Mat- thew H. Stevens, was a prominent merchant and her mother, Susan Butler Jeffries, belonged to one of the old families of Virginia. In 1873 Miss Stevens married Capt. Mannix; their wed- ding was one of the most brilliant events of the season. Mrs, Mannix has since that time visited many parts of the globe. 3 Capt. Mannix is a native of Ohio, entered the volunteer navy early in the war of the re- bellion, and, after serving more than two years with great gallantry, in 1875, as a reward for his services was appointed in the marine corps. Having graduated in the torpedo school in 1878 Capt. Mannix made a two-years’ cruise with Commodore Shufeldt around the world. The Chinese government having applied for a torpedo instructor Capt. Maunix was granted leave of absence for that service. In 1881 he was accompanied to his new field of duty by Mrs. Mannix. Having made the journey across the American continent to San Francisco and voyage on the Pacific ocean Mrs. Mannix made a with her husband through the In- land sea of Japan to Shanghai, and thence to China, where the captain was stationed Hav- ing a large corps of young Chinamen of good families, who were partially educated in the United States, he began his course of instruc- tion. During the intervals of his duty as instructor . Mannix and himself visited Pekin and the great wall of China. During her four-years’ residence in that ancient empire she acquired the Chinese language, which she now speaks with almost the Seaces of a celestial. Having completed his term of service Capt. and Mrs. Mannix continued the circuit of the globe, visiting India and Europe in returning to the United States. After his return Capt. Mannix was again assigned to duty on the Brooklyp and returned to China ommand of the marie guard of the udmiral’s flagship. Capt. and Mrs. Mannix, with their interesting family, reside at the barracks and very pleas- antly eatertain their friends during the enjoy- able occasions of the Marine band concerts on ‘MRS. CAPT. POPE, Another branch in the line of duty and inthe social circle of the marine corps is that repre- sented by the officers of the marine guard at i nai, The commander al C. Pope, a son of Rear Admiral John Pope, served four years in the navy before entering the marine corps in 1861. He was appointed from New Hampshire, and in this interval of service he distinguished himself in many battles of the re- bellion on sea and land. He _ has held his present command since 1836. During the rilliant seasons of the late administrations the beautiful and affable wife of the handsome captain of marines held her drawimg-rooms in the quarters of the post-captain of marines at the naval arsenal. Mrs. Pope was Sarah W, Parker, daughter of one of the most celebrated captains in| the merchant-marine of New England in the palmy daye of American clip- pers, those fleet-winged bogs a of sea, Capt. Parker was in command of the famous clipper Santee of Portsmouth, N, H., when she was captured after a long chase in the Indian ocean by the confederate privateer Florida. The skilifal seamanship cf Capt. Parker, with only sails as his means of motive power, was almost more than a match for the privateer propelled by steam. Mrs. Pope is very popular in a large circle of friends in the highest ranks of fashionable life. The captain and Mrs. Pope have two sons. One of them, a talented young man of twenty, is one of the civil engineers in the service of the ‘Nicaragua canal company and started with the pioneer construction party of that great inter- oceanic enterprise.

Ah, no! our dead they are not lost, Death's river only they have crossed To realms sublime, On those serene, celestial strands ‘They beckon us with spirit hands, ‘To guide us o'er the trackless tide, Who linger on the mortal side A little time Not lost! but saved forevermore With loved ones who had gone before; And beings pur. Weary and weak, the burden great, ‘Their eager spirits could not wait, They saw before life's stormy path ‘What strife and tears the journey hath— Hard to endure. ‘Then far beyond death's turbid stream, ‘They saw & light, whose Heavenly beam ‘Was hope and joy. With faith the river they did brave And vanish on its soundless wave. We know they reached the other shore, Where hurtful things shall never more ‘Their peace destroy, We should not weep, for never there Shall sorrow come, or tears, or care, Or death's fell shade, Ne’er, ne’er that glorious realm within ‘Shall come the blight of mortal sin. No tempest there, no cheerless night, But shines an orb whose golden light Will never fade.

A SILENT CONVENTION. Some Notes About the Coming Gather- ing of Deaf Mutes. pts ARRANGEMENTS FOR THE MEETING IN THIS CITY NEXT WEBK—EXERCISES AT THE UNVEILING O¥ THE GALLAUDET STATUE—THREE HUNDRED DEAF-MUTE VISITORS EXPECTED. Some three hundred deaf mutes, it is ex- pected, will attend their third national con- vention, which will be held in this city next week, Ax might be naturally expected from the personnel of the gathering. the convention will be a silent one, On this account it will be the most unique assemblage ever held at the national capital, It sounds rather paradoxical w speak of aconvention where there will be debate and animated discussion, the Peading of papers and the transaction of routine business as a silent convention. It will not, however, be absolutely true that no oral words will be spoken, The papers that have been prepared to be read before the convention will be translated from the sign language in which they will be originally presented into oral Speech. As the author of the paper declaims in the graceful language of the deaf mute the translator will interpret to the hearing ears what has been so effectively addressed to the intelligent eyes. It has been the custom, however, at these gatherings to carry on the discussions and at- tend to the business brought before the con- yention exclusively in the sign language, and those who attend and who are not fortunate enough to know how to read the fingered speech will lose that portion of the proceed- ings. It will be an intelligent body. There are now in this country some seventy-three in- stitutions devoted to the education of thisclass, B, Q. N. NB.

At the last national deaf-mute convention, which was held in New York city four years ago, it was decided to erect a statue to Thomas H. Gallaudet, the father of Dr. E. M. Gallau- det, president of the National Deaf-Mute col- lege. Contributions have been received from every state and territory in the Union for this purpose. Some have given 5 cents, some 25 cents, and so on up to larger amounts, so that the statue which will be unveiled ‘on the lawn in front of the college building next Wednes- day will be a representative tribute from the deaf mutes of this country to the life and character of the man who is held in living es- teem by every deaf mute in America who has enjoyed the advantages of education made possible to them by the philanthropic and zealous efforts of Mr. Gallaudet in the early years of the century. The arrangements in regard to hotel and railroad rates for the convention have been made by the local committee appointed by the [ieee of the last convention, Mr. B. A odgson, of New York city. This committee is wares of John Burton Hotchkiss and Chas. K. W. Strong, and they have made favorable terms in both particulars. It has not been decided positively where the sessions of the convention will be held, but it is probable that the hall in the national museum will be the place selected, THE PROGRAM OF THE CONVENTION, The first session of the convention will be held on Wednesday morning, June 26, On Tuesday evening preceding the delegates who are in the city will attend divine service at the Church of the Ascension, when addresses will Vv ic- c. mers, B.

A NEW ENTERPRISE IN THE WAY OF DISPOSING OF THE DEAD—THE DENTAL TRUST AND THE WAT IT OPERATES—HOW THE TOOTHLESS ABE TAXED—POKER IN THE CLUBS. Correspondence of Tux Evexino Stan: into practice a new system for disposing of the dead. It has already become recognized that, in this generation at least, cremation will never be adopted to any extent as a substitute for in- terment, Popular prejudice, backed by the Christian church, is too strong against it. Burn- ing is thought to be as barbarous iu these days as burial underground was considered by the highly-civilized peoples of ancient Greece and Rome. A method superior to either, as it is claimed, and entirely doing away with the ob- jectionable features of both, wili soon be offered here for the acceptance of cultivated Bostonians who way be anxious to have their post mortem remains scientifically cared for. The process to be employed makes use of the cleansing and purifying properties of fire, without permitting that element to attack the body. Dry air is the only other agent called into service. Already plans are being drawn for an enormous mausoleum-like stracture of massive materials, to be erected as quickly as possible after incorporation papers have been secured by the company aforesaid. One por- tion of the building will be designed somewhat on the principle ofa honeycomb, agree | from 200 to 300 small compartments, adapte for accommodation of a single corpse each. These compartments will be so arranged as to be continually swept by pow- erful currents of wl air from big steam-fans. Bodies subjected to the treatment will be wrapped simply in winding- sheets and laid upon marble slabs in the com- partments. They will not be embalmed, nor will they be placed in coffins to retard and pro- long decomposition. Ou the coutrary, this operation of nature will be allowed to take course, the gases and liquids developed by being absorbed by the dry-air currents and swept upward to a chamber above, where the noxious vapors are passed through fire and de- stroyed. In this way, after a time, the corpse itself is reduced to the condition of a mummy, retaining an appearance natural though not lifelike, and susceptible of preservation for centuries, . 4 SAFE DEPOSIT FOR CORPSES. It is then ready for storing away, if the rela- tives so desire, in one of the 100,000 vaults, which will take up the major part of the mau- soleum, These vaults can be rented or pur- chased outright for family use, asin a ceme- tery, metal door plates rendering confusion impossible, so that the surviving peg will enjoy the privilege of ready access to his dear departed at all hours, Each of the mummify- ing compartments previously referred to will probahbiy communicate by a wire with an elec- tric anuunciator in an office on the first floor, where a gentlemanly clerk will always be in readiness to respond to any call from a guest who may chance to have been registered pre- maturely. If this new system is found success- ful here it will be introduced by the same com- pany in other large cities by the building of similar mausoleums on an even bigger scale. A DENTAL TRUST, With the possible exception of the monopoly in undertakers’ supplies, there is no organiza- tion of business capital in this country which directs its own branch of industry with such absolute high-handedness as does the dental trust. The iniquity of this autocratic institu- tion excited prolonged howls of disgust in the convention of Massachusetts Den’ Surgeons just held here. But, all the same, acknowledg- ment was made with humiliating unanimity that the tooth-doctoring profession in the United States is practically at the mercy of the tyrants who manufacture its instruments and working materials, For these oppressive per- sons, it would seem, are banded together in a. league to hold up the prices, and, having con- trol of nearly all the goods produced, they are in a position to dictate whatever terms the: like to the dealers who are not allowed to sell anything below’ certain exorbitant sched- ule rates. Of course the result is that the un- fortunate practitioner is charged exeessively for everything that is necessary to the carrying on of his business, from the chair his patients use to the gold filling for their teeth. The result is achieved in a manner at once simple and pleasing. The trust includes all the important manufacturers, who own nearly every pateut worth having on dental instru- ments, engines, furniture, &c. Whenever a new contrivance makes its appearance, they gobble it at once by purchase and bring it out, or, as is frequently the case, store away the models, in order that the improvements they represent shall not interfere with the sale of less desirable mechanical devices already in use, In this way they have acquired proprie- tary righte in many most valuable inventions which dentists would be glad to employ only that the monopoly has cabbaged them, and will not roduce them for the public benefit because to lo 80 would cost money. These manufscturers, too, have enormously ve plants, with- out which no rival could possibly compete with them, Take the matter of tooth-making, for instance. To make a start in this little trade one must have, for a single item, at least fifty molds representing different sizes of = Such molds are carved by hand in rass 80 laboriously that €250 apiece is the ordinary price for good ones, There you have aninvestment of $12,500 right off. Other suit- able apparatus is apportionately dear. Thus it comes about that, if you want a set of false teeth, you are compelled to buy them of the trust, ae your dentist, for the reason that no outsider has good ones to sell. A TAX ON THE TOOTHLESS, Furthermore, you must pay for your teeth just as much as the trust chooses to charge ou—that is to say about four times what would te areasonable price. If this demand were ‘ayoeganh best would have to “ante up” all same, unless you made up your mind to forego ae or were content with grinders of painfully inferior quality. The monopoly has special processes of its own for turning out the rubber in little red rae gr oe from which the “plates” are made, while molars and incisors themselves, with the artificial gums they fit in, have to be cast in lain with most (gy eg care, and colored by expert hands, There is the delicate pink of the gum and the yellowish tint of the tooth toward the root, both to be combined with the very sub- stance of the material, as the set, upper or lower, takes my, from the mold cast by a model in wax of the patient’s mouth, id wheu the finished product comes forth from the 22, 1889—-TWELVE PAGES.

This concern is as big as ail the other manufacturing firms y= together, and is | backed by a capital of $20.000,000. In fact, it rans the monopoly that grinds the dentist that handles the forceps that the tooth that aches in the jaw of the luckless patient. And it is the last-named who is the real victim of the trust, POKER WITH FRENCH VARIATIONS. Those who ought to know declare that the soul-destroying game of poker is more danger- ously prevalent just now in Boston's clubs then ever before. For obvious reasons, the Somer- | set, which represents the Rilt-edged idleness of the town, goes in for this sort of amusement most extensively. There has always been a freat deal of gambling in this club. Its mem- bers are mostly rich young men, who find an agreeable employment for their leisure in green-baize exercises. Next to the Somerset in point of addiction to such dissipations, it is said, is the Algonquin, a comparatively new social organization with a ve and some- what indiscriminate membership. Many of the merchant princes who belong to it are fond of @ little game, and jackpots run high there, Also there are several small and ver exclusive eamonens clubs here whic! have no object of existence worth men- tioning save pokor. The time, even for those who can afford it, is of course de- moralizing. Nothing can be introduced into a club so likely to produce discord as a poker- table. Besides, the game, though commonly sup] d to be all luck, is essentially one of skul, and in a club where it is played there are almost sure to be men who, by means techni- cally fair, actually make their living out of their winnings, As for the pastime's demoral- izing influence it is already beginning to be complained of in the French clubs where the game has been domesticated. The Parisian club, as everybody knows, is a proprietary gambling hell pure and simple, and the adop- tion cf poker has seriously reduced the re- ceipts of the croupier; for the percentage-ac- erning to the “house” from the American form of the card-vice is much less than that obtained from baccarat, and the loss thus involved has necessarily occasioned no little disgust with comparatively harmless “draw.” In the latest number of the Paris [lustre this feeling is editorially voiced by a sympathetic leader writer, who says that the innovation actually threatens the clubs with bankruptcy. Save for the abstraction of an occasional “chip,” by way of contribution, he adds, the banker “has nothing to do but to look at the ‘pokerites,’ who remain seated for hours, speaking a lan; fe unintelligible to most people, as, ‘Je suis blind’ (I am blind), ‘Vous m'avez bluffe’ (You have bluffed = ‘Faisons-nous un pot’ (Let us make a pot), and sb on.” These phrases will be familiar to every experienced poker player who reads this letter, however mysterious they may appear to the uninitiated.

At Epsom, which on Derby day 1s said to be one vast temple of the evil one, it is just the opposite, for right in the center of the crowd, among bookmakers, pugilists, and acrobats, and all the noisy rout, a tent has been erected in which and from out of which a small army of energetic Methodists are carrying the war everywhere into the enemy's crowded camp. Asearlyas 10 an immense and ever-growing multitude assembled; the giant “fancy fair” was in full swing, and busiest among the busy were, once again, the faithful hundred, all of whom had volunteered their help, and many of whom gave up four precious days of their annual boliday to be present at Epsom.

Then once again there was more singing, and occasionally the sun looked down upon the small band of men kneeling on the grass with bare heads and faces turned to the earth, calling upon their God to look upon the multitude and t&guide them to his peace—a strange sight indeed on the race course on Derby day.
