The unprecedented heat of the last week FOR SALE—LOTS. \ | winere it is made its way even to Warrenton and Monday was | Tegistered as the warmest day since 1872. But | the waves of heated atmosphere are #oon spent when brought in contact with the counter waves | of cool mountain breeze and gayeties continne irrespective of the condition of the elements. | DELEGATES TO THE ALEXANDRIA CONVENTION, | On Monday the Cleveland and Stevenson men | of Fauquier held a mass meeting in the court house to elect county delegates to the con- gressional convention to convene at Alexandria August 10, who will nominate a candidate for Congress from the eighth district of Virginia, The meeting was called to order by Mr. H. C. Yates, who was made chairman, and fifty-fow of the leading men of the county were ap- pointed, without instruction. This delegation | is known to be cordially in favor of nominating | Mr. E. E. Meredith, who is fully indorsed and | ‘approved by his constituents. je mass meeting adjourned to the clerk's office yard, where they and many others were entertained by music and speeches. Mr. H. Waiton Moore and Mr. Eppa Hunton, jr., were the orators of the occasion. At night the town hall was filled with an au- dience to witness the performance of Edison's improved phonograph. The audience of over 200 persons heard clearly and accurately sweet strains of music or comic songs as they alter- nately poured forth from what looked to be a big copper funnel on its side. THE GERMAN AT THE SPRINGS. The Tuesday german at the springs gave | place this week to the tournament and ball beld there Wednesday afternoon and night. ‘The | three successful knights were the Messrs. Davis, | Mr. George Davis being awarded the first prize. “fhe enjovment of the ball was lessened by the fearful thunder storm which swept over this region in the early part of the night, keepmg away numbgrs who would have added charm to | the eniertainment. THE. STORM. The storm did much damage and struck and | ret fire to a barn on Major Barry's farm, which was built in 1800 and contained a large store of grain and hay, one item being 600 bushels of wheat. The downpour of water was #0 heavy | a8 to raise the mountain streams beyond ford- | ing bounds, and Dr. Robert I. Hicks of Warren- ton and Miss Minor of Richmond, in attempt- | ing to cross a creek, barely escaped with thei lives. Midway the channel the horse, making | no effort to stem the current, floated with it, | drawing the buggy behind her. Fortunately the buggy caught ngainit the “siep log” which crossed the run, under which the horse had ‘Selena qiety ducked her head and gone on, but was | tained by the stoppage of the attached vehi- | ele. Dr. Hicks and Mive Minor scrambled | ashore on this log, then succeeded in cutting loose the horse. Horseman and woman then trudged two miles through mud and mire, over plowed fields, to seek shelter for the night, and were most hospitably received by Mrs. Isham Keith and family and kept until sent for the ensuing morning. 5 HUNT CLUB RACES. The Warrenton Hunt Club for some weeks have been preparing for races which will take place at the race track near the town on August 4. Many blooded and well-trained horses have been entered, and we feel assured the raceg, will be of a superior order and prove interesting to all who attend. After the races a german will be given at the town hall, and handsomely en- graved invitations are now being circulated far d near. This club is numbered among the eleven recognized hunt clubs of the United States. A race horse belonging to Mr. Owens, that was under training, bfoke its leg on Tucaday and had to be killed, FRIDAYS GERMAN. Friday's german at the town hall was, as usual, a brilliant success and efficiently led by Dr. Baldwin Day with Mrs. G. Gaines, So nu- merous were the belles and beauties only some can be mentioned, among them Misses Griffith and Anderson of’ Baltimore and Mise Virginia Day of Warrenton, who, as strikingly hand- some women, carried off ‘the first palm, while noticeable for lithe, and attractiveness | ese Charlotte Nelson p. Miss Lizzie Tyler of Wach- wely in Parinian costume, and Mi Connor and Hicks were charming in light blue brocade and silk. and the latter in dainty muslin, with Roman ribbons. Among the gentlemen were \esers. Cum- mins, Bland Payne, Louis Finney and Clay Ward of Washington, Mr. Wm. Corse of Alex~ andria and Mr. Barber of Massachusetts. Late arrivals in town are: Mra, Leonard Mar- bury and Mrs. H Jones and family of Alexandria, Messrs. Lucien Keith and Scott and wife of Roanoke, Va., Mr. and Mra. Columbus Schriver and ‘Miss Florence Ander- ‘ton of Baltimore, Miss Mamie Jackson of Phila- delphia, Mr. and Mra. James Thomas of Rich- the Missos Cassilier, Miss Julia Wilson and Miss Tongue, all of West Washington; Miss Mary Belle Gregory, of Oxford, N. C., and Mrs. R. Murray Naonn of New York. ‘Within the last two water works have been introduced into thetown and city will find here their home water ie ft by pipes from about iwenty UJ monte E Street Baptist Ceurch. on and bis ab- will $e eereniad by, r. Dt. SOCIAL MATTERS. Where Well-Known People Are Spending the Heated Term—Personals. As soon as the President gets away the White House will come in for its annual midsummer cleaning—as practically all the residence portion will be closed. It will be remembered that last summer the dining room and green parlor were redecorated, the year before the blue parlor, so that every of the first floor, save the red rlor and the corridor, have received the wutifving touch. These are the parts where the skill of the decorator will be seen next and tly needed. With this work finished the entire house, from cellar to garret, has been made more habitable, more sanitary ‘and more beautiful in every way ate on Ges to be deplored being that Mrs, whom the credit of the entire transformation is due—is herself the least able in health to enjoy ite results, The news from Loon Lake of her condition from day to day is most encouraging, and while the progress she makes can be scarcely esti- mated except by comparing it week by week, still she is getting stronger gradually. The Prewident will be accom to Loon by Mr. Tibbetts. Mr. Halford will re- main here in charge of this end of the public business and his chief's campaign, assisted by ‘Miss Sanger, who has all the experience of hav- ‘D | ing been through it all once before. Mr. Dins- more of the White House staff is slowly recov- ering his health at Lebanon, N. H., where he is stopping with his brother. ‘The cabinet families are pretty well scattered, though nearly all of them have a representative or two here. By next week, however, even the most indefatigable will feel at liberty’ to go, if only for short intervals, Secretary and Mrs. J. W. Foster have had Mr. and Mrs. Lansing with them for several months and the little children of their eldest married daughter, Mrs. Dulles, The residence of the Secretary of State is just about as com- fortable as it is possible to have within the city limits and the wide veranda at the rear of the drawing room adds another stretch of comfort, which has been thoroughly appreciated the past week. Mra. Foster and her daughters being thoroughly accomplished women find great pleasure in carrying ona system of reading ¥ | during the summer when they have more leisure than usual. The ladies often epend the morn- ings on tne balcony, one reading aloud while the others accomplish marvels of fino needle- work and make the very most of their enforced stay in town, The Attorney General's wife and danghters have remained here all summer and will only go away when he can. ‘The chances are that they will seek their recreation and rest at some cool spot in tho New England hills. Miss Halstead has stayed here to keep her sister's house open. Mrs. Noble and her younger sister were last week at Bar Harbor, | where they were having a restful stay. Mrs. Elicins spent most of last week here with the secretary, but was glad to again return to her mountain home before the last hot spell came. Whe wife and danghter of the Secretary of the Treasury and Miss Rusk are having » de- |lightful stay in London, where, as it is only natural to be expected, the American colony have entertained them continuously and lav- ishly. They will be back early in September. Mra.and the Misses Wanamaker have been doing Carlsbad, and laying up treasures of health and strength against the ordeals of the coming winter. Mrs. and Mias Wilmerding are also in Europe, with a party of friends will make quite a in Paris before their return to this coun- Senator and Mrs, Wolcott left on Wednesday for a two or three weeks’ tour of the northern summer resorts, and after that will turn their faces toward their Colorado home, where their servants have already preceded them. ‘They ve speut the summer months very comfort- ably at Oak View, where they entertained ina handsome wav. When they get out to Denver Mra. Wolcott has plans already made for a re-, ception in their Lome there, to be followed by various other festivities during the early fali. It has become pretty well understood now that the junior Colorado Senator and. hie wife are about the best dressed couple in the senatorial cirele. Mrs. Wolcott has always been distin- guished for her tasteful and atylich dressing, at this summer her husband surpassed all previous records by being the fortunate owner of no Jess than seventy separate and distinct suits of clothes, No one has been yet heard to say that they have seen him twice in the same combination of colors or textures, a statement that it waa thought only possible to make of a belle at Saratoga. ‘The brainy and vigorous Senator from the Rockies takes just as much pleasure out of his toggery as any belle. Mrs. MqMillan has remained here all summer to make the Senator's comfort complete. Their south balcony, fitted up with easy chairs and a handy center fable, has beon the rendezvous of many of their friends every evening after a late drive. Miss MeMillan and the younger portion of the family have been west ail summer. The Sena‘or and his wife left for Bar Harbor this morning. Representative and Mrs. Hitt always manage to make life in Washington not only endurable, but decidedly jolly.during an enforced summer stay. Mra, Hitt s balcony salon of two yeara ago, which was the feature of the summer in high lite, existed under sotae difficulties. The balcony was not near large enough. This sum— mer it way widened to almost twice its old capa- city. and for the last three months it has upheld a burden of statexmanship, social power and feminine charms that need ask no odds of a Newport or a Bar Harbor villa assemblage. he Hitt boys are always interested partici- is in these evening gatherings. The Hon. homas Lrackett Reed usually looms up upon these ocea ions—a colostal example of just how many yards of Irish linen or pongee can be em- ployed in the manufacture of a big man’s sum- mer clothes. While everybody looks sweltering Mrs. Hitt hersely is the incarnation of dainty feminineness in her pretty, cool muslins and light silks, Justice and Mrs. Harland have been here all summer aleo, but are only waiting for their sailing day, which they concluded they could do here | just as comfortably a3 anywhere else. They start for an extended European trip early in August, intending first of all to join their son, Rev. and Mrs, Harlan and Miss Harlan on ‘the continent, and then the party will travel together. The younger children of the family are to be placed in school also while their grandparents are abroad. ‘The Misses Merrick, daughters of the late R. T. Merrick, are all summering at their country place near Ellicott City, and entertaining in a way that many young ‘ladies blessed with the good things of thislife have not often thought of. Their guests come down in dozens to them every fortnight—little girls and boys from the orphan asylums of this city, and they are given # holiday fuil of real enjoyment. Mrs, Jno, Dalzell left on Friday with her family for Atlantic City and will be out of town now till early September. Mr. Ross Thompson has returned froma pleas- ant stay at Deer Park,where his wife and young son are spending the summer, Reprezentative and Mra. O'Neil of Massachu- setts sailed by the City of Chester on Wednes- day for Queenstown. “Mrs. Frank P. Burke of this city ascom; them. After a tour of Ireland, a stay in London and Paris, they will return the latter part of September. Senator and Mrs. Sherman expect to make their home in the elegant residence now bei: erected next door to their present house. it will be one of the finest of the modern man- sions. ‘The Senator aud his wife will go west after the adjournment, Miss Sherman is now away visiting with her aunt, Mra, Miles, Senator and Mra. Carlisie are going north after the adjournment and will make a stay of several weeks at Manchester-by-the-Sea. Count and Countess Divonne arrived in New York early in the week and the beautiful young countess was welcomed home by her mother, Mrs. Audenried. Their plaus for their stay in this country will include a few woeks of travel visiting their mother, Mrs. 8. aE street, ecoompanied by their Mr. GA. returned New York of several months, Mra.
