THE SOCIAL WORLD. Washington People at Noted Sum- mer Resorts. WEDDINGS SET FOR AUTUMN. Preparations for the Gay Season—Wander- ings of Well-Known Washingtonians—Per- sonal, Notes of General Interest—White House Improvements. The scattered ranks of society, whether at home or abroad, are already indulging antici- pations of what may be counted upon with cer- tainty as its entertainment during the coming fall and winter. Inside of another four weeks many of those whose own movements in the so- cial world are of interest will be home again, ready to start or to assist some one else with the milder form of gayeticn prevalent here in the early autumn. So far as social happenings are concerned September is without exception the quietest month in the year. Very rarely even ® wedding breaks its monotony, if it is desired that society should be considered as looking upon any such auspicious event. In that case the wedding bells are heard where one’s friends are sup- posed to be gathered, and so bridal festivitie will be plentiful enough in the country, the mountains and by the sea, but very few of them here st home. Some ot the prominent folks did not leave town until the 1st of this month and will not come back, if they can help it, un- til the 15th of October. ' By that date there will be stir and movement fll along the line, and, with everybody fresh, eager and active for th fray, things can go spinning along with a ne’ zest. For the happy few who have splendid new homes to come back to the fall season opens up & vista of activity in which both pleasure aud inevitable small worries are equally blended. A small army of workmen ny ilies distance of eac! giving the fini mansions within easy other. These are the new homes of Mra. Chandler, Mr. and Mr. A. ©. Tyler and Mr. and Mrs. "Henry Strong— three big, buff «nd beautiful mansions, all re- plete with the best that moderate luxury can devise, and all owned by hosts and hostesses already widely known in the list of Washing- ton’s entertainers. With two others in close neighborhood, society can also look forward with a large amount of reasonable gratification, and these are Mr. Leiter's palace, on Dupont cir- cle, and Lieutenant and Mrs. Clover's mansion, near by. Ancther year or two must roll by be- fore either of these can be inhabited, and per- haps somebody else may come along meanwhile and completely eclipse both of them. Miss Dahlgren will anticipate the autumn tide of weddings by having hers at the season when her mountain home is taking on its most romantic phase, about the 15th of September. As already announced in_ the columns of Tur Stak, her marriage to Mr. Josiah Pierce will take place at “Dahlen,” Mrs. M. V. Dahigren's country place, and will be a quiet but stately ceremony, since Cardinal Gibbonsis to officiate and Kight Reverend Bishop Keane is to assist Miss Drexel, the youngest and now the only single sister cf Mrs John Dablgren and Mrs. Eric Dahigren, will be the bridesmaid, and some others of ‘the young people who have fig- ured in the marriages of the two Indies just named will attend these two young aspirants for matrimonial dignities upon this moment- ous occasion. Now, the one circumstance which their friends here will deplore is the fact thet Mr Pierce and bis bride will make their home in Baltimore the coming winter, as the former is engaged there in his profession. Mrs. M. V. Dahlgren will be with them also, so that in all probability none of the family will reside next winter in their Massachusetts avenue house. . Confusion still reigns supreme at the White House, and the chances are agaipst ite being in any way fit for the occupancy of the President's amily until the Ist of October or thereabouts, The decorators have just commenced the state dining room and green parlor and have finished the greater part of the front vestibuls. No part of the house is therefore open to visitors, us was expected might be possible last week. As far as the average sight-seer is concerned, however, they evince quite as much desire to look at the house in ite dismantled condition as if it were dressed up for a state ceremonial, and the disappointment in not being able to peep inside the front doors has been very great among the hundreds of visitors the past week. To the list of fall brides and grooms,in which Mr. Garland and Miss Heap, Mr. Balch and Miss Fleming, Miss Virginia’ Williamson and Mr. Hancock are already prominent, may be added those of Mr. Blair Lee and Miss Anna Brooke, whose wedding day is set for October. Mrs. Admiral Lee has just returned from a visit to Mrs. McKim and Miss Brooke at their Pennsylvania home. Another wedding with a diplomatic flavor,and ulso set for the fall,is that of Senor Don Antonio Leon Grajeda, third sec- retary of the Mexican legation, and ‘Miss Amy Darnes of Georgetown. ‘This young lady's sis- ter married a young Mexican in the early spring, and as their intended marriage was a surprise to all around at the time it created quite a sensation. ‘This young couple are now living in New York. ‘The home coming of Gen. Schofield and bride would have been made an entirely different one had it oceurred when society was in town. As it was an imposing display of gentlemen en- titled to wear quantities of gold lace and regi- mental finery met them at the station and gave them a welcome as warm as the weather. Gen. and Mrs. Schofield tarried here longer than almost at any one spot since their marriage, nd the rest and comforts of home were agree- able to both. They have yet a great deal of traveling ahead of them, but it will be in the mountains, where they can be entirely sure of cool weather. Letters were received last week from Mrs. Romero, in which she gave graphic azcounts of the pleasant voyage across the ocean and the incidents of a short stayin Hamburg. The Mexican minister and his charming wife are having an interesting vacation. They are now in Russia and will travel considerably within and without the ezar's domain before they sail for home, about the 15th of October. Judge Payson's new home on Massachusetts avenue rapidly spproaches completion and he hopes to occupy it before the new year. Mrs. Skae of California will either bay or build a home here in the near future. Since the chief justice can here to reside each winter has witnessed the debut or mar- riage of one of his daughters. There are now only four of the seven left in blissful maiden- hood. The return of Miss Mary Fuller from her long stay in Berlin virtually amounts to a Washington debut, tho more so as she is gen- erally regarded asa very pretty girl. Of her musical talents and mental cleverness the opin- fon is decidedly unanimous. But the real debutante of the family next season will be Miss Katherine Fuller, who somewhat favors Mrs. Hugh Wallace in looks and style. The latter. by the way, has had the proud. satisfac tion of entertaining her father and mother this summer in her own home at Tacoma, Washington.

Next week the scientists will begin to gather in this city and for the following ten days every train will bring fresh accessions to the number of notable men who are coming from all parts of the country, The event that brings them im the meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. This is the great scientific body of this country and ite annual meetings are always oc- casions of marked interest. The first, session of the association will not be held until the 18th instant, but Auring all of next week there will be mectings of aftiliated societies. ‘The members of these societies belong to the general association, and as a matter of con- Venience it is arranged to hold the annual meetings about the same time as that of the general association. The first of these societies to Convene is the American Microscopical Society, which will begin afour days’ session next Tuesday at the medical department of the Columbian University on H street. The meet- ings will be held from 10 o'clock to 12 each day, and will be opened on Tuesday with ad- dresses of welcome by Dr. John 8. Billings, U.S. A., and by Dr. Thomas Taylor, president of the miicroseopicai society of this city, which will be responded to by Dr. Frank L. James of St. Louis, president of the society. The morning sessions will be devoted to the reading of papers, discussions, &c., and the afternoons to visiting the various government departments in which microscopy is employed and in conducting the working sessions. On Tuesday evening the annual address of the sident of the society will be delivered in the lecture room of the First Congregational Church, corner 10th and G streets, the subject of which will be: “The Microscopical Examina- tion of Clothing Scorched by Firearms.” A RECEPTION on Thursday evening will be held in the rooms of the preparatory department of the uni- versity—a soiree—to which the public are in- vited; and those who have enjoyed tke annual soirees given by the Washington society may expect to see in this all previous exhibitions far outdone. The American Society of Microscopists was organized in 1878 at Indianapolis with seventy- five members and has steadily grown until, at this its fourteenth annual meeting, its mem- bership amounts to 400. It has’ published twelve volumes of proceedings, the last containing a general index, which has been separately printed and distributed to over 800 libraries in this country containing 5,000 vol- umes or more and to many in Europe. One hundred and forty authors have contributed to these volumes on subjects connected with microscopical research, and the literature thus published constitutes 4 contribution to science second to that of no other society. The work done by members of the society in preparing accurate measures bas helped to make the works of American machinists the best in the world. The field of the socicty includes bacteriology, which is today recog- nized as the most important factor in disease, cre microscope has ae ie toga emene le to the geologist, who reli ly upon its testimony in the determination of rocks. As stated in the circular letter of the secretary of the society, “the mass of literature under the name of mic: y covers a field of knowledge well defined and more homogeneous than is denoted by the words ‘anthropology’ or “geog- raphy’ or even ‘astronomy.’” Arrangements have apernps aa the ae of — scopical goods and apparatus, and a number eke Manufacturers and ‘dealers will make attractive exhibits and demonstrations.

Correspondence of The Evenine Star. ‘Came Crom. Car, Bax River, Mp., August 7, 1891. ‘The fifth day of the encampment of the sixth battalion at Camp Cecil Clay dawned clear and bright. The weather was warm, but tempered with a fine breeze which blew from the south at intervals during the day. The boys were alert snd active during the morning and policed the camp so thoroughly that Maj. Bartlett sitting in his headquarters tent made the remark that a small piece of straw, about six inches long, which met his eyes as be gazed around, looked as large to him as the “ridge Pole of the hospital tent” The canse of all this extremely great care in the cleaning of the grounds was tue expectation upon the part of the men that their sommanding gen- eral would visit them in the course of the day and inspect the camp, this to be followed by a review of the troops, in connection with the fourth battalion of’ the Maryland National Guard, as was origipally contemplated when the sixth left Washington. ‘These anticipations Were not realized and a complete change in the program was made. The camp andthe grounds presented a beautifal appearance, however, and were the subject of frequent complimentary remarks on the part of the visitors. AN EXTENDED ORDER DEILL. During the morning preparations were made for an extended order drill by the entire bat- talion. Promptly at 3 o'clock in theafternoon, under the command of Capt. Wilson, the bat- talion marched down to the cleared ‘tield just to the right of the eravity railroad, and in « few minutes thereafter were deploying us ski mishers upon an extended line. The spectac Was an interesting one, and as the boys ad- vanced to the charge orassembled around their officers at the signals given it was not hard to realize the great advantages which will accrue to future armies in the development and adop- tion of the extended order formations. 1) men suffered somewhat from the heat, and one poor fellow was so overcome that it became necessary to puthim under the care of the medical “department, where be received the best of attention aud at night was very nearly himself again. ‘Ibis is the first occasion upou which the hospital tent and its appurtenances have been brought into requisition. Gen. Ordway and staff and Col. Clay and staff arrived in camp about 3 oclock this afternoon, taking quarters at the hotel for the night. The camp was visited shortly {terward and thoroughly spected by the party, after which the field where the skirmishers were engaged was visited ‘and a short time spent in viewing the drill. ‘The eligibility of the site of a the camp and its surround- cart. mikey. ings was universally praised. REVIEW OF THE FOURTH MARYHAND BATTALION. The apparently special purpose of the gen- eral commanding and his staff in visiting camp today was to review the fourth battalion, Mary- Jand National Guard, commonly known as the Baltimore Light Infantry, and to witness the dress parade of that organization. This com- mand arrived at Bay Ridge about 5:20 p.m. and was marched to the slight eminence just to the right of the sixth battalion camp, where they stacked arms and were temporarily dismissed. About an hour later, accompanied by its band and drum corps, the fourth marched over to the parade ground for the re- view. Dressed in white duck trousers, with dark blue frock coats, liberally covered with white trimmings and white helmets, the or- ganization presented to the view a very pretty picture, in striking contrast to the plain but serviceable army uniforms of the sixth. The ceremonies of the reviewand dress parade were executed with that exactness and attention to detail which is ever pleasing and catching to the general public eye and which has made this command famous. The companies are composed mostly of very young men whore am- bition to excel in military matters is plainly patent. The manner in which they passed in review and the execution of the ceremony of dress parade proves this beyond all cavil. ‘The commanding genera! of the District National Guard was no doubt much pleased with the militray exactness displayed by the command and the honor paid to him by its special visit to Bay Ridge to pass in review before him. The organization is commanded by Col. Howard, who was accompanied by his full staff, includ- ing a chaplain, whose services, presumably, are rarely needed by the members. A SKIRMISH FOR SUPPER. During the review by Gen. Ordway of the Maryland boys the routine of daily military duty wassuspended for the time being in the sixth battalion. There was no dress parade, and owing to the time occupied by the fourth in ite ceremonies the department fellows came near losing their supper, not reaching the ‘to- bles until nearly 8 o'clock. An energetic use of the king's English finally induced the man- agement to permit the officers and men to have that which they contracted to furnish, there being no provise in the agreement that the visits of excursionists and other side fey- tures should interfere with the proper supply- ing of food to the command. A grand ball was given in the evening by the Baltimore battalion at which the elite of the | monumental city was present in large force. ‘The costumes of the ladies were said to have been magnificent in the extreme and to have supported that fine exhibition of taste for which these fair ladies are noted. The boat and trains were held over by the management until 10 o'clock, in order that the excursionists might enjoy the festivities incident to the oc- casion. ‘The crowd present was simply enormous. Every train and boat came in loaded to its The camp was thronged whom were many mem- Rifles of Washington, ac- panied by their friends. The excursion given by this orgunization was unquestionably ‘& great success. 4 FINE GUARD MOUNT. During the day the camp was thoroughly guarded and a large force of sentinels was on daty. The officer of the day, Capt. W. E. Horton, was here, there and everywhere at the same time. A fine guard mount was set up. ‘The officers of the guard were Lieuts. Leckie and Moore. The general and his staff and Col. Clay were recived with all due honors by the guard upon their arrival at the camp. Capt. W.E. Horton is the youngest member of the brigade staff, being but twenty-three years ofage. He is descended from a long line of an- cestors whose sentiments were decidedly war- like, his family having been represented in the revolution, the war of 1812 and the late civil war. He isa graduate of the Washington City High School, receiving a scholarship from that institution. He served as commanding officer of ae, oy A High School battalion during his last year at school.

President Gallaudet of the National College for Deaf Mutes at Washington, who was invited by the British government in 186 to give evi- dence to # royal commission as te the progress of deaf mute education in America, has lately been asked to dehver an address before the British Deaf and Dumb Association, which bas just held « national congress at Glasgow. At the closing meeting of the congress, held on Friday evening, August 7,at which the lord provost of Glasgow presided, President Gal- laudet delivered his addroms, discussing quite fully the various methods employed in the edu- cation of the deaf and showing how all pos- sessed merits peculiar to themselves. He demonsirated by ec from prominent teachers in Germany, : and the United States that the oral method can- not be employed successfully with exclusion of all others: that a large proportion of the deaf ave unable to acquire speech in any useful de- gree of perfection, and that with these who can succecd in articulation and lp reading better results are reached judicions use of the language of sign m connection with oral teach- natural to the deaf, is rejected, as is attempted to be done by the promoters of the pure oral method. “The successful and bapps lives of graduates of manual schools, Dr-Gullaudetsad, “theworld, over bear convincing testimony te the excel- lence of ‘this unjustly decried method, and to its capacity to afford ite subjects ail the easen- tials of au education. And these lives abow, beyond all possibility of successful contradse- tion, that, while specch may be « convenio and a comfort to the deaf, it ix by no means necessity to their highest intellectual, soctal ‘and moral development. Furthermore, the manual method gives i beneficiaries two invaluable sources of such development, which the pure oral method not only withholds but most cruelly places under @ stigma and ® ban #s tending by their use te drag the deaf down to the level of the brute. The speaker docs not hesitate to express the opinion, formed after many years of intimate association with deaf mutes, edu all possible conditians, that as b against the boon of speech and lip reading, reat though it be, the gift to the desf of te Eniguage of signs end the maneal alphabet are of tar greater value and comfort.” He cited the opinions of « number of promi- nent German teachers in «upport of this esti- mate of the value of signs and cronted quite & scusation by preventing testimony recently re- ceived from Germany proving eding the exist dical deficiencies in the method of that country, which has for a century ands half been the stronghold of oralism. President Gallaudet held that as betwoen the two great methods, the manual and the oral, if one were to be taken alone, the preference would be incontestably with the former, for under it ali the deaf can receive the maximum of intellectual, moral and social developmen of which they are capable, while under the latter a large proportion fuil because they are denied their natural means of communicating thought, the language of signs, and are ince pable of acquiring artificial speech. ‘The value of oral teaching to those able to profit by it was fully acknowledged, but the speaker insisted that it should be held rigidiy to # subordinate position im a broad, combined system, in which every method shown to be Usetul to auy considerable number of the deaf could have ats proper place. ‘This combined system, he aid, was almont universally adopted in the American echoule today and was destined to win the support of the world iu the near future. Lresideut Gallaudet gave some ipte facts concerning the coliege at Washington, showing that its graduates bad done most creditably in the more elevated occupations of life, and urged the establishment of institu- tions of similar grade in Europe, where none exist at present. ————__ Held for the Grand Jury.
