LENTEN DIVERSIONS. How Charity Will Cover a Multitude of Pleasures. MANY MATRIMONIAL RUMORS ‘The Reunion of the President's Family— Games and Club Meetings Take the Place of Dances—Some Coming Events—Weddings and Receptions. ‘Things have come to the accustomed stand- still for the first week of Lent. As somebody puts it, the “Lenten dissipations” seem a bit slow obtruding themselves on the public. It will hot, however, be near as quiet later on as the now would indicate. In a ‘week or so, all the sewing clubs, Dorcas socie- reading clubs, music clubs, whist clubs, cade cba Breseh clubs, German clubs, wish clubs, emergency clubs, conversation jabs. history clubs, Del Sarte clubs, fencing elubs, bowling clubs. riding ciubs, walking clubs, and eversthing clse but danc- img ‘clubs, will be in running order. Some of them have kept up an_ active Working existence all the winter in spite of the secial demands on the part of the members, ‘Mrs. Wilmerding has had a French club meet- Ang at her house one day each week all winter. when the latest good novels were read aloud by & professioual reader. There has been just as commendable an attendance at two or three of the church sewing societies, at which @ great amount of work has been accomplished. ‘The bowling clubs are likely to be very success- fai again this Lent. There is just enough Bobemianism about the whole thing to give it @ refreshing flavor after the champagne and terrapin of the winter. ‘The charitably inclined are by no means idle, as the various —_ entertainments ‘already announced plainly show. A delightful mrt is pore he the performance next Finureday afternoon at the ‘National Theater, when “Old Love Letters,” with Miss Kidd and Mr. Jack Webb, and “Box of Monke: with Muss Harter, Miss Painter, Miss Riddle, Mr. Webb and Mr. Buckley in the caste will be presented. In the minuet, in an act of the second play, the dancers will be a number of young ladies and gentlemen very prominent in society. The list of patronesses makes the en- tertainment a certain success. The Home for Incurables, one of the most deserving of the city’s charities, is the beneficiary. Washington Club may and doubtless will receive more attention from its members than they have found it possible to give it since last autumn. One part of the clab flourishes, how- ever, and that is the card room. ‘The ladies devoted to whist have never relaxed for a day scarcely their _ interest in their favorate game. It has been a strong bond all winter. The same rule that is ob- served in men’s club, giving member the Tight to the privileges of the club rooms for ten days, bas enabled ladies from many other Cities to get a Jimpse into the club life. The club has been Sn existence neariya year. S0 far as the casual observer may notice.tihe only difference between this and the dozen’ other #ourishing clubs is that the Washington Club has 4 permanent abid- ing place. To its everlasting credit, however, let it be said that none of the g°S*ip of the sea- son has first found words in the club. The talk at the Woman's Club evidently runs to certainties and not to hurtful gossip. Long ‘may it remain so. . and luncheons, musicales and con- certs are the leading features of next week's program. Monday night the Corean charge @affaires and Mrs. Ye will dine the Secretary of State and Mrs. Blaine. Tuesday night the Mexican minister and Madame Romero will enjoy the same pleasure at a dinner that will be spread in the legation room. Mrs. Bugher gives a dinner the same night in honor of Mrs. McKee. Wednes- day Dr. and Mra Pope have invited their to musicale at 7:45 p.m., and Mr. A. 8. Solomons has cards out for the wedding re- ception of hisdaughter, Miss Rosalie, who is to marry Mr. N. Taylor Phillips of New York city. Thursday the amateur performance at the National will engage social attention for the afternoon, and for the evening Dr. and Mrs. Pope have s second company of their friends invited to a musicale at7:45. On Saturday Mrs. Schofield snd Mrs. Andrews will give o Sunday will find the White House family re- United. From the accounts sent home the President and Mrs Harrison have greatly enjoyed their ten days’ vacation. and the x only wishes that the cx- igencies of the public service would permit his remaining another week. The ounger members of the household, Mrs. Mc- Keseed Mr. sod ce. Russell arrison, would have gladly joined them had not the engage- mentsin which they were three deep pre- vented. Their dinner for Mr. De Lamar on evening wound up the social func- tions at the White House for the present. Gen. and Mra. Geo. B. Williams, Miss Clark and Miss ill were among the gueste. By the way, Mr. De Lamar does not intend to settle in this city. New York is his objective point, but he ia in no special hurry to leave here yet awhile. Mrs. Harrison will keep «day as usual when she will be glad to see her friends. All the Sater she fas changed from Wednesday to ‘Thursday as soon as it became generally known, snd her friends were always advised of the e The same plan will be continued, for if one day was kept to for any length the re- ception would amount to a public oceasion. Mra. McKee's and Mrs. Russell Harrison's ball did not materialize after all and it would take a long chapter jg tell why. Rumor says ‘that a garden part; be substituted for it in the spring and the plan is generally commended by society, which has also the riding ‘club and the _ flower market in its spring possibilities. Both are good and beautiful ideas. and each will tend to make the capital additionally attractive when the fine weather comes to stay. Mra. Har- rison’s garden party is way ahead of them all in the fleeting fancies of society folks and the project grows with the telling. Just now the grounds around the mansions begin to show promise of the sum- mer’s bloom. There are rings and hearts avd diamonds of tulips, crocuses, just showing bright spots of color against the dark loam, and afew fine days will make the gadens very pretty indeed. As it looks today it makes a ing welcome for the return of Mrs. Harri- ton, who is so devoted to flowers. The air is full of matrimonial rumors, One wedding is already set for March 16 of a promi- nent New York and New London man and a young lady resident here in which society Teutl take on immense amount of intorcevont that a recent bereavement will restrict the wed- | ding party to the immediate family. ‘The | father and daughter im anotber family | are of having matrimonial inept member of the diplomatic « Kes his egagement almost ready to spring ba the public.

Another engagement in which many Wash- ingtonians will be interested is that of Mme. Barrios and Senor de Rods. Mme.

Coleman, convicted of perjury on Feb- ruary 4, was sentenced to the Albany peniten- tiary for five years. An appeal to the court in General Term was noted by bis counsel, Mr. French, who urged that friends had written letters showing that he was of fair reputa- tion. The court said be was not a first-class citizen notwithstanding the letters, and proof was clear as to his guilt. On the trial here he did not hesitate to perjure himself, and apparent! did so only for the friendship he had wit the principal. Perjury was becoming too prev- alent here and was almost committed in ‘this room.

MAR that ‘the only thing the sensible and respon- siblg people of this District are concerned J ate be this controversy is this, viz: What is @ right and justice of the matter? All Pefeonalities irrelevant. Now, for what pur- let me ask, should appropriations be jade other than those I enumerated, namely, ‘Ro provide forimprovements, the health’of People and the education of the children of the /District?” As to how much should be soe: propriated is a question about which intelligent men and friends of the Dis- trict may honestly differ. I deny that I made any threat to govern- ment’s contribution to the capital's expenses, The national treasury is the goote that lays the golden egg for this District. I simply warned the people or their agents that they might by imprudent suggestions or demands reduce the size and value of that egg. I believed then, I know now, that the suggestion wis timely, it was most certainly kindly meant. Shall itbe forgot- ton in dealing with appropriations by the general government at this juncture that we are in the presence of a deficit m the treasury, evidenced by the very best possible proof in the fact thet the money is not on hand to pay outstanding obligations and up the sink- ing fund? Will it be denied that the burden of taxation does fall most heavily here, as every- where, upon the small property holder? And, sw to the matter of the surplus raised by taxa- tion here resting and rusting iv the govern- ‘ment treasury vaults is concerned, it does seem: me the merest fiction that excited fancy ever created. How can this be while the District is the debtor of the gov- ernment, and the government without suf- ficient money on hand to meet its obligations. ‘The best use ever made ofa surplus dollar in the pocket of an individual or a corporation was and is the payment of a debt therewith. If the revenue raised by taxation in this District is over and above the requirements of an hon- estly and economically administered govern- ent let the rate of taxation be reduced, and you fewer of your ple seeking homes outside of the District. very democtat at least will subscribe to the doctrine thatevery doilar raised overand above the legitimate use of public money is robbery of the tax payer. So far as Mr. Weller is con- corned, lot him settle with the republican Sec- retary of the Treasury, who recommended to Congress a reduction of over $1,000,000 of the oftimates submitted by the Commissioners, and Ben he will be in » position to complain con- ntly of me for thinking their estimates ex- travagant. In conclusion I have only this to say: I have demonstrated in the past my regard for the substantial welfare of the District. One evi- dence of this abides and will abide when we are forgotten, I introduced and pressed to its pasuage the bill appropriating $100,000 toward erecting the spiendid bridge which spans the eastern branch of the Potomac at foot of Pennsylvania avenue. I could point to many other improvements I have in sn humble way helped to pass through Con- xres» since I been bouored with a seat in the House. My regard for the District shall not be lessened, nor willl be deterred from ‘any vote or pursuing any course my judgment may approve by harsh or unjust criticism from any quarter, I am very respectfully yours, aungs Compton. ——— FOR THE STARVING RUSSIANS, Additional Contributions Received by the National Red Cross Society.

Ihave many friends there and I think it a high honor to be connected with anything which represents the capital of our country, but Ido object to being made merchandise of and donot consider myself assignable prop- erty.

The Clerk of the District Court Makes» Re- port Agaimat It. The clerk of the Supreme Court of the Dis- trict has made a report upon the bill to regu- late marriages in the District of Columbia, in which he says: “I find it in my opinion largely impractical inqujsitorial in its character and prohibitory inite operation. It would greatly increase the clerical labor of this office over the present sys- tem, witbout increasing the fees necessary to meet its additional expense. It makes heavy Viabilities for illegal issuance of licenses, and at the same time does not clearly define what would be an illegal issuance. ent law hax stood the test of twent; le. satisfactory as any law ou the subject would likely prove. The only thing in connection with it that bas given any serious embarrassment is the failure of ministers to make the proper and legul return, after they have performed the marriage ceremony, which has in many cases seriously interfered with ob- taining necessary legal information in regard to marriages. It is therefore my opinion that the bill in its present form, if it became a law, would in nowise be an improvement over the present law.” ——_— THE COURTS.
