Bonaparte's Ball at |W the Arlington Last Night. zick|A SCENE FROM FAIRYLAND. = LEK Miss Bonaparte’s Debut—Other Entertain- ments of Note—Teas and Receptions—How Society People Are Enjoying Themselves— Personal Notes of Interest. Under countless rosy lights in a ball room jose mirrored walls reflected again and again every moving figure, with the pungent odors of the wi in the shining, overhangin, ns, the delicate fragrance of a thousani lovsoms delighting the eye in every direction, an assemblage of Washington's beautiful Women and distinguished men—this was the Bonaparte ball inst night. A more brilliant and notable occasion has never taken place here. In the middle parlor, the tapestry room of the great ball room suite at the Arlington, Mrs. Bonaparte stood with her handseme young daughter to receive. Here her guests enter- ing the gold parlor at her right, or sauntering about the Louis XIV parlor at the end of the suite, or gliding over the smooth floor of the room could all be seen to advantage. It was » marvelously beautiful scene, to which each new arrival added another feature. So many elegant gowns have been rarely seen together in this city. So spacious are the rooms, how- ever, that when, at 11:30, 300 guests bad gath- ered it was only in the ball room that the num- ber showed. Belles and beaux had the long stretches of the middle salon as weil as the re- from a few turns on the ball room floor. floral decorations were not only elaborate but especially tasteful. They centered in the ball room, where the mirrors were framed in ef- fective greens and the music gallery was al- most a bower. The window recesses were massed with palme. Under the music gallery, clear across the room, the cotillion favors added color and beauty. The centerpiece wasa gi- gantie white slipper. ‘This was tilled to over- lowing and in fact half hidden by the tiny slippers filled with flowers that were given to the girls in one of the figures. On two screens and two pyramid steps the other favors were ranged. For the girls there were drums, tall directoire canes, each with «painted ivory head and a pretty French device, little sailor bats and lovely feather fans in the shape of hearts, diamonds, elubs or trumps. For the men there were short walking sticks, all tied with ribbons, brase trampets with ribbons to throw around the neck. tiny tambourines and red, white and blue rosettes. Col. and Mrs. Bonaparte and their daughter made a striking group as they stood to greet their guests. Mfrs. Bonaparte was in a trained gown of black velvet. She wore dia- monds in her hair and diamond ornaments on a black velvet band around her throat. Mise Bonaparte. for whom the occasion meant her first insight into the world of vociety, was dressed simply in white tulle, garlanded with white bloseoms. She had on some famous pearls. which once belonged to ber great grand- mother, the wife of Jerome Bonupurte,who was the youngest brother of the Napoleon Bona- arte, tirst consul of France.

Several Interesting Relics of the Old Volun- teer Force Prevented. ‘The meeting of the Veteran Volunteer Fire- ‘men’s Association last evening at their quar- ters, 19th and H streets, was well attended. Mr. James H. Richards presided, with Mr. J. J. Peabody secretary. Mr. 8. K. Swann of the Union was elected an active member. Mr. William Sherger, an honorary member, was elected an active member. Mr. J. W. Thompson, for Mr. R. W. Dever- eaux of Richmond, presented the hat worn by the donor's father, R. F. Devereaux, when a member of the American Hook and Ladder Company; also a badge of No. 7 Company of Meriden, Conn., from Mr. J. A. 8. Baker; also some relics from T. H. Peto of Philadelphia (through Mr. H. C. Stewart), one plate labeled “Re 4," and one “A Clear Track and .” ‘The gifts were accepted and ‘Yotes of thanks adopted. Mr. Thompson remarked that the preceding evening two little girls had left a note at bis house inclosing an Odd Fellows’ watch chain for presentation to the president, Mr. James H. Richards. He knew not who the children were nor who was the donor, but for the party he complied and made the presentation. From the letter it appears that over a year ago Mr. Rich- ards called on tho party, who was then in Pov- erty and sickness, and’ he not only cheered them by his words, but relieved their poverty. It gave him pleasure to hand the emblem to the president. The president was visibly affected and was taken by surprise. He remarked that he would appreciate this gift, coming from whom he did not know. He had made it a rule whenever he could to benefit his fellow man, and, God help- ing him, he would so continue. ‘The sceretary reported that Mr. Joseph Fry of Columbia as ill. Some discussion took place as to the appara- tus and the president was requested to have it placed in first-class order. Mr. Peabody, for a friend, presented a por- trait of the late W. W. Corcoran, who was a member of the Western Star Company. An application from Mr. George W. Goodall of the Anacostia for membership was received. A resolution was adopted extending an invi- | mi tatiouto the veteran association of Baltimore to participate in their parade on the 22d of February and in tho trial of apparatus. a ALEXANDEIA, ‘THE UNITED STATES COURT FOR ARLINGTON. The United States district court, Judge Hughes, in session here, has been occupied mainly as 8 court for Arlington reservation. ‘The grand jury had in charge bills for several crimes, alleged to have been committed there, and returned an indictment against James Lipscomb for shooting Ann Jackson, but ignored a bill against B. P. Pollard for attempt at outrage on Harriet Somerville, colored. ‘The administration of justice on that reserva- tion will constitute a distinct branch of the business of the court, and all fines or other money collected by the court from that reser- vation will be held as a separate fund to be administered under special orders of the court. THE MUSICAL REMEARSAL. Few occasions this winter have been as pleas- ant as the complimentary rehearsal of the Alexandria Musical Association last night at Sarepta Hall. There was no empty seat. The program, as usual, was made up of ten selec- tions, which the encores doubled. Mr. L F. Randolph, the vocalist of the occasion, sang “Marguerite” and “Love's Sorrow.” Messrs. Waterbury, Owens, Whittlesay and Walls, in | betas sang Kreutzer's “Chapel” and “Hush . My Baby.” Mr. Wm. Cooper gave a flute solo, “Come Back to Erin,” and the associa- tion, as band or as orchestra, gave many de- lightful renderiny ‘The rehearsal was in .

It was the intention of the company to buil@ ® plant outside of the city limits for the treat- ment of the garbage, and it would be removed from the city in water-tight carts. Mr. Clark called attention to that clause tm the apecifications which made it imperative for bouseholders to put their garbage where it would be accessible for collectors.
