MAKKLE’S LEBTERS. He Says They Were Business Epistles and Furnished No Evidence of Insanity. Mr. O. J. Markle, against whom proceedings of lunacy were instituted oneccount of letters he had written to cabinet officers and others, has sent a statement to Tux Stan holding that his letters were on business matters and that if given tothe public they would be seen to furnish no evideuce of unsoundness of mind. “In my opinion,” he says, “there is only one letter that really needs any explanation, and I have made a kind, gentlemanly request of the roperly interested that I should be to call and explain. And I feel con- fident that the persons to whom they were written have that magnanimity of mind and those principles of character as to freely grant me pardon when I entreat it of them. My let- ters were all wtitten in a courteous tone and with the greatest respect to all parties con- cerned, for, claiming to be a gentleman of ed- ucation and character, I would not will- ingly detract from ‘the worth of any one, and especially from those in prom- inent official life or refined society. ‘The letter 1 wrote to Secretary Eikins was one strictly on business, concerning a leave of ab- sence I desired; and I wrote to him because I was informed that he was the proper person to address, my letter containing nothing, so far as 1am aware, that would at all annoy or offend any gentleman. I have also written to one Sen- ator and two Representatives, and have con- ferred with several others personally, but these letters were also on business; and if I cannot have wrougs righted 1 may ‘see or write to others or even the President himeelf. The Constitution mnsckaies Wie ae freedom of speech so long as I do not abuse that privilege.

ING STAB: WASHINGTON, D.C, TUEADADPREBRUARY Q100 THE WORLD OF SOCIETY How the Gay, Fashionable People Are Enjoying Themselves. DINNER TO YOUNG PEOPLE. Secretary and Mrs. Etkine’ First Social Enter- tainment—Mrs. Stanford's Elegant Lunch- eon—Dinner Parties, Teas, Receptions and Luncheons—Personal Notes of Interest. Secretary and Mrs. Elkins gave their first dinner party in their new home last night, en- tertaining a company of young people. The dinner table, spread in the artistic dining room, inde @ most attractive picture. The center- iece was an oval plat of maidenbair fern. tween the silver candelebra, in which the tapers were burning under white rosebud shades, there were white and gold Bohemian glass vases filled with Puritan roses and a spray or two of maidenbair fern. All the wafers were tied with green and silver ribbon and the ice cream camo on in little candy baskets with a pretty white rose und its foliage made of the cream. ‘The guests were Mr. and Mra. McKee, Mr. and Mrs. Russell Harrison, Miss Blaine, Miss McMillan, Miss Washburne, Miss Grace Davis, Miss Breckinrid, Miss Gould, Miss Elkins, Lieut. Chamberlain, Paymaster Heap, Mr. Breckinridge, Mr. Townsend of London, Mr. Edward Gould of New York and Dr. Jayne of Philadelphia. Secretary and Mrs. Elkins have invitations out for three other dinners, the first on the 19th, when the President and Mrs. Harrison will be the guests of honor, another on the 25th and another on the 29th, in honor of bis emi- nence Cardinal Gibbons, Mrs. Elkins will receive tomorrow afternoon for the first time in her new home. Mrs. Leland Stanford gave another superb luncheon today, when the table decorations were in pale yellow and purple. The table cloth was of yellow and white satin brocaded in cross stripes. ‘The gold and silver epergne in the center had « high bouquet of purple orchids and jonquils—one-half of each Hower. ‘The fruit dishes on either side were filled with large purple and white grapes. On squares of Irish “poit lace at either end of the table there were silver cups filled with orchids and jonquils, the same flowers making ound bouquets in low repousse silver dishos at the .exfreme ends. The effect of the flowers was to make on each side of the table the orchids and jonquils alternate. ‘The tapers were wuito, burning under yellow and silver shades. At each cover the yellow and white silk napkins were folded in flower shape on the gold plate, and near by was the luncheon souvenir. These were little yellow and purple ‘satin mortar board hats, placed alternately as to color. ‘The inside of the bat made a bonboniere. The ribbons round the crowns had floating ends and upon these the name of exch guest was painted in gilt Against this delicate background of color the fine Vienna glass decorated in Watteau figures and the gold and silver dishes of strawberries, &e., stood out like jewels. The ladies at table were: Mre. McKee, Mrs. Russell Harrison, Mrs. Dimmick, Mrs. Justice Gray, Mrs. Dolph, Mrs. Manderson, Miss Voorhees, Miss Dawes, Miss Blaine, Mrs. Quay, Miss Ida Thompson, Mrs. Join McLean, Mrs. Andrews, Mrs. A.

All this array of mate attire is displayed in connection with the convention of the Custom Foremen Tailors’ Asso- Ciation now in session this city. Every year at its meeting the asso- ciation offers handsome medals for the best specimens of the handi- work of its members, und these prizes are eagerly sought for and the contest is a hot one.

In this way they are able to work to- gether and so keep up in the front rank of the march of progress in style. Tho association is consequently looked upon by its members as a sort of mutual beneficial organization. The president of the association, Mr. Shep- herd, in conversation with a Stax reporter this morning. spoke of the fact that for the pa: eight vears the chang users had been so ght as to amount to almost nothing at all. This, he said, was tho longest period in all his experience that the style had remained st: tionary, and it not only diminishes the cali for custom work, but it has allowed _ re nade goods to keep right up in the procession, so far asshape and style are CHAS. 3.

The nov- elty that is proposed is, more properly speak- ing, ® revival of an old style. iii PEG-TOP TROUSERS. Back in 1858 and for a year or two later the “dandies” used to wear what was known as “peg-top” trousers. If the members of this as- sociation of cutters have their way, and they are very likely to, the dudes of 1892 will be arrayed in very similar raiment. A number of the gen- men who are discussing clothes at Willard’s this week wear trousers of this sort and it must be admitted that they look very well in them. The change is not such a radical one as to attract unwelcome attention in any way. The trousers are cut in such a way as Maud Morgan and Minnie Ewan and a quartet of male voices will take part. Mra. Attorney General Miller will omit her regular reception tomorrow. ‘The Washington Assembly ball will be an carly affair.

At the opening of the Overman court-martial in Cleveland yesterday Wm. C. Kain, the pay- ing teller of the National Bank of Commerce, identified the check for $24.52 drawn by Major Overman to his own order and which was credited in the engineer's account with the government to the payment of the account with the Worthington Co. and another small bill. Patrick Hourihan was called to tesufy concerning the charge that Major Overman’s coachman was on the govetnment pay rolls as a boatman and guage reader, but his memory seemed very bad and he was excused. The examination of Henry Rossiter, the clerk in Major Overman’s office, brought forth a sensation. He said that the Worthington and Lamsons vouchers were partly made out by him according to orders and partly by Over- man, The receipts were in Overman’s hand- writing. The bill of Lamson Bros., sent to the office, was for ohly €2.60. Upon cross-exam- ination he said he had ighored Major Over- man’s order after theebarges and suspension to report to him at Washington with his duplicate vouchers. ‘Then the defense, on the ground of attack- ing the credibility of the witness’ testimony, launched a thunderbolt at him. Judge Sand- erson, by ® series of questions, compelled Rossiter to admit that he left the empioy of the Domestic Sewing Machine Co. in Chicago in 1886, a heavy defaulter. He, the cashier aud beokkeeper of the company's Chicago office sunk $20,000 of their money in wheat specula- tion, 1t is stated tRat the matter was kept out of the newspapers, that not even his most in- timate friends of his relatives knew of it until the unwilling admission of Rossiter, and the loss has long since been made guod. It is stated that Kosbiter teld Maj. Overman in confidence the history of his detaication and settlement when he acceptedemployment in the engineer's office. Rossiter is almost pros- Scatet ey! the revelation of his guilt this late day. ‘The judge advocate announced that the prosecition was ended. Col. Gardiner again moved to quash some of the specifications on the ground that the money alleged to have been misappropriated was 10- tended for river and harbor purposes and not for the use of the miiitary service. The court — and adjourned for the See ARRESTED ON SUSPICION.

The men had rented two rooms in the house for a week snd had paid their rent in advance.

A sample pair would be about twenty three inches at the knee and seventeen inches at the base of the structure. ‘The advocates of the new style claim that trousers cut on those lines are far less likely toget baggy at the knee. A FANCY DRESS SUIT. Another garment that is rather more revolu- tionary in its character is a dross suit that has been sent on from the west, It is cut on the conventional lines, bt it is made of bright electric blue rough cheviot. ‘Tho waist- coat is heavily plaitel and is edged with a pale blue silk ball \ trimming.

The price must in all cases be considered. — PRACTICAL WORK PROGRAM. One of the most valuable departments of the ‘susociation is that of practical work, and in the past it has always been of great interest and usefulness to the members. The committee of arrangements state that the practical work pro- gram for the present convention promises to be of more than usual interest, as it contains many names of those recognized as leaders of the pro- tession.
