McLean’s Cotillion Last Night — Distinguished Guests — Mra and Miss Blackburn's Tea—Other Teas and Ke- eeptions—Personal Notes of Lnterest. Society is never satisfied with itself unless it hasachance to accent its every-day clothes ‘with a bit of old-time patches and finery. We will have s bal poudre on the 29th, and Mr. and ‘Mrs. John McLean are to give it It will be the crowning triamph in the beautiful series of dances they are giving this month. On the whole it is a successful winter and it would put the memory of the oldest chaperone toa severe test to count back toaseason when so many beautiful balls followed after one another so quickly as they have the last six weeks. All the cotillions this winter have been beautiful spectacles, but last night's event at Mrs. Me- ‘Lean’s seems to have eclipsed them cll. With the spacious ball rooms in private houses, and slong purse to buy all the tempting things offered, it has been something of an effort for the club germans to make their dances notable or memorable events. In fact, the Duachelors’ Cotillion had their most brilliant party this last week. because there was little else ull last nicht to suggest a contrast. Wednesday's cotillion wasa great success. Mrs. Frank Riggs re- ceived the guests. The managers of the Washington Assembly concentrate all their strength in the ball of next Wednesday night. It is going tobea great event. Probably a hundred or more couples will dance. The house balls already announced are Mra. Hammond's for next Fri- day nightand Mrs. McLean's for the 19h. ‘The last Eachelor's cotillion is oa the 17th. ‘There is always the margin for the unexpected, and rumor has it that Mrs. McKee's ball at the White House will wind up the season with roper brilliancy. Then after the Shrove Fataey gayeties society puts on the mythical sackeloth and askes and turns its mind ¢lubs. Beginning on Monday the ga has exactly three weeks and one da; credit. So far the season has not been prolific of wedding engagements. The alarming scarcity of men noted in these columns as an incident during the early winter has not improved. At nearly all the large dances already given men from New York and Baltimore especially and a few even from Boston have lent their pres- ence. Girls, and such girls they are, pretty, well mannered and well dressed we have in sbundance, anda fair share of them will be marrying a year from now men irom every- where else but home. Representative Sanford, the wealthy member from Amsterdam, goes down south in a or two to wed his pretty young cousin, Sanford. There isa grain of co the fact that a wealthy bachelor, who is spend- ing the winter here, «ays that he knows no where time can’ be killed more rapidly, Relightfully oF more systezaticaliy than im this city. As he came here to be amused, and is achieving that object under most distinguished Uidance, it is probable his satisfaction may have aspecial significance. it is needless to remark that all the giris are willin ‘The following is # list of the leading events of the coming week: MoNDar. ‘Mra.

A bill has been introduced in the Maryland legislature which, if passed, will put out of existence the one remaining pool-selling firm in the state. It is simed at Lynn & Wall, doing business in Arlington, near Baltimore. ‘Two years ago alaw was enacted forbidding pool selling at any other place than at a race track, and then only when there was racing. All’ the pool rooms in Ealtimore at once suspended business except Lynn & Wall. ‘They leased. the half. mile track in Arlington about three miles from the city, where,‘by complying with the letter of the law, they have been enabled to do business right along. They secured a half dozen platers, engaged several men as starters and timers aud advertised daily races: While claiming to sell pools on these races they also made books on allevents throughout the country, They did big business. ‘The measure just intro. duced probibits pool selling except at agrici tural fairs and legitimate race tracks, and then g-| only at each of these fifteen days in the year.

Today. There was not much business in Judge Kim- ball’s court today and the judge had plenty of time to examme a lengthy communication that he received from Mary Ann Dougherty, who is serving a term in the work house for vagrancy. Mary, as is well known, figured as a public character during the Cleveland administration, when the President vetoed her pension bill. In herJetter to the court she said: “The first one that ever meddied with my character was no less @ person than Grover Cleveland, and the next was the police and the Police Court. } When I wanted a character I did not come to the Police Court to get it It was proven in the United States Senate by ladies and gentlemen of honor.” Mary goes on to tell how she has suffered in prison, and, while admitting that she is not a total inor, she denies that she isadrunkard. The judge has not acted upon her application for release. SAM MOORE'S MOTHER. When the procession of prisoners reached the court Lizzie Moore was the first called for trinl. Lizzie, who is: a good-looking colored woman, is the mother of Sam Moore, the negro murderer who is under @ life sentence for killing a fellow prisoner in jail. She was charged with ordinary disorderly conduct and she plead guilty to the charge. Judge Kim- ball fined her €5, but she was unable to pay tho fine. “T'll plead guilty to save myself, judge, your honor,” responded William Clark, when ar- raigned on a charge of disorderly conduct and rofanity. “I didn’t swear,” he added, “but ‘ll say guilty anyhow.” Policeman Huber's testimony was to the effect that the prisoner was profane on the street and he continued his profanity all the way to the station. “And,” added the oficer, “he used profane language in the station this morning.” Ten dollars or thirty days. GIVEN TIME TO PAY HIS FIXE. John Sullivan, a heavy-weight young man, who was arraigned for being disorderly, plead guilty and asked for mercy. “Yesterday was the first day I had worked for some time,” be said, “‘and last night I drank too much liquor.” e ’ll give you time to pay your fine,” said the judge. “And I'll take the pledge,” added the young man. nd I'll help you to keep it,” said the judge. “How much time do you want to pay your fine?” “Well,” responded the young man, “I can earn a dollar a day.” ou can have ten days in which to pay your Jefferson, a South Washington negro, plead guilty to a charge of being disorderly in saloon on Van street, and the usuai fine was im Frank Maguire said guilty to « charge of vagrancy, and went down for twenty days. “Foand begging on Pennsylvania avenue,” was the charge ugainst George Kelpy, and as he had been working recently the juage gave him the benefit of a light sentence—thirty days on the farm. Three colored men, Cato Bray, Daniel Bundy and William Harrison,who were arrested by Po- Hceman Browne, were fined for disorderly cou uct. William Wright, charged with vagrancy, was relensed on his own. fecognizanee, ana'then another batch of prisoners, inciuding disorder- lies and vagrants, appeared and were tried. palin. dat ne HELP THE POOR. Some Letters Which Have Been Received at Police Headquarters. “Now is a good time for the charitable peo- ple to give to the poor,” said Chief Clerk Syl- vester of the police department to a Star re- porter this morning. ‘Ihe applicants for axsistance are numerous, but the poor fund is about gone. Mr. Sylvester has many letters on file in his office either from the poor persons themselves or from their neighbors, ‘The letters show that there are many cases of suffering and want in different parts of the city. One letter from South Washington, much shorter than the average, asked for assistance in this way> “Will you please help me toa few groceries and some clothing? I am in very bad cireum- stances and have three orphan children.” Acitizen looking out for the welfare of a neighbor just before Christmas wrote: In aiding the poor on Christmas you can also send provisions to. where there are five small children. ‘Ihe mother has been sick a few weeks and the father has no work just now. ‘The lady herself would not ask for anything, but I am a neighbor of hers. 1 know they are in_need and are ashamed to ask for anything. Please send them something. Under recent date a woman wrote: “I am compelled to ask you to help me. Iam quite sick with the grip and my childrer are also sick." The woman then tells of the doctor's orders for ber to remain in the house. Her rent, she said,was nearly due, and as she could not live in the street she agked assistance in bas’ ee, ‘a “Ivis with the deepest feeling of a rn em for the first mother,” writes another applicant, “that compelled to ask aid for time.” ‘This woman states that she has been confined to her room on account of sickness, Which has been made worse because of insufi- cient fuel to keep herself aud children warm. She concludes by saying that she hopes to get @ position that has been promised her, so that she can provide for her children. Another woman requests the loan of §8 to y her month's rent im order to keep her five little children together. She promised to re- turn the money as soon as her husband secured work. She said she was sleeping on the floor where she was and that if taken sick she would certainly die. She concludes: ‘For God’s sake please help me to get my rent.’ Dozens of other applications of the same kind are on file and the police are distributing what the citizens send to police headquarters or the police stations. wane eS The Second Regiment, D. C. N. G. Sharpshooters’ crosses and markmen’s but- tons were presented to the qualified members of the second regiment. Col.
