The bay window of the parlor was turned into a bower, where the count and countess stood to receive congratulations. Back of them were palms and plants and over their heads hung a mat bell of white carnations, the clapper of which wus made of violets. Roses in profusion decked each of the parlors and the dining room, where the breakfast was spread. The table. with its wealth of old family plate and glass. had as a center jiece a great bouquet of Jacque roses. The xes of wedding cake were tied with narrow white ribbon.

In person he is of commanding height, has « frank, pleasant face and manners that have made him a general favorite in society. ‘The President's reception at the White House last night in honor of the diplomatic corps was a drilliant event.

Here will be located the power | house. Already the consulting engineer of the road, Mr. Daniel Bontecou, has, with the con- sent of Mr. Henry Hurt, the president of the road, secured the services of Mr. Root, the dis- tinguished architect of Chit who will pare plans for a six-story building. which will ovcups the entire square. The magnitude of this building will be appreciated when it is | stated that the dimensions will be 241 by 185 feet. The first named figure is the frontage on E street or Pennsylrania avenue, from which it is separated by a small triangular . There w:ll bethe same frontage on D street, while on 18%¢ and 14th streets the front of the building will be 185 feet. It is the in- tention to make the building architecturally worthy of the location. THE BUILDING WILL BE FIREPROOF. The principal front will be mainly of stone and the entire building will be built of brick, stone and iron and will be fireproof through- out. Mr. Hunt, the president of the road, states that in the estimate made of the outlay required for the entire improvement about £450,000 was allowed for the construction of this building. The total cost, including that of the building and ground, will be about $1,000,000. The company will have use for only the first two stories of the building, and it is the inten- tion to ft up the upper stories so that they can for jt manufacturing put a heat, power and light being supplied 40 all por: ng. AN ARTISTIC EXTPRIOR. The artistic exterior whieh it is proposed to give to this building and ite height of six stories is the company’s contribution to the adornment of Pennsylvaniz avenue and also, it is hoped, will be a source of revenue. But the rimary object is its use as a power Louse. The location could not be better for this purpose. Itisas nearly as is practicable the central int between Georgetown, the navy yard and t. Pleasant. The length of the present tracks of the road from Georgetown to the navy yard is five miles, 7th street being considered half the distance. The 14th street line is two miles and a halflong. The new power house located at thus point will be the center of three cables, which will ran the cars over the entire Line. ‘There will be a cable to the navy yard, another to Georgetown and a third to Mount Pleasant. ‘These cables will run around great drums or spools, which will be turned by an immense engine located in the power house. A POWERFUL ENGINE WITHOUT NOISE. The engine that is expected to do all this work will be a powerful one, as might be sup- posed. But it will be so constructed and the gear- ing will be so arranged that, Mr. Hurt sa: there will be no noise and no’ vibration. ‘The American Concert Company, assisted b; Mim ‘Birdie Lucas, violin soloist; Mr. W.
