Pleasing Diversions in Society Dur- ing the Past Week. THE VISIT OF THE PRINCESS. Cireamstaners That Gave Food for Gossip— A Trihate to a Kepubile’s Simplicity — A Lesson In Koyal Honors at the British Legation—Personal Notes of Interest. Society bad no end of diversion the past week. The princess has come and seen and conquered. On every side there are heard ex- pressions of pleasure at everything she did or said. It was unfortunate, however, that the divinity that hedged her about permitted her to converse only with those who came in an official capacity. There were several ladies | who, during many years of residence in Mad- |rid, were as familiarly acquainted with the infantas and their royal mother, Queen Isa- bella, as they are now at Lome with their next door neighbors. Her royal highness on Wed- nesday night allowed the diplomatic corps to wait a little longer for her presence than that due them. They were all assembled in the par- lor at the Arlington a few minutes before 9 o'clock and it was a quarter of ten when she came in. The princess had probably not heard that there is no body of gentlemen sny where as punctual as the diplomatic corps at this capital. She was exceedingly amiable and gra- cious when she did appear. The rs, however, were equal to the emergency and were able to entirely bide their chagrin at be- ing kept waiting so long. Another little circumstance has given the ‘ips something to talk about. It is this: Vhy did the princess dress so plainly at the White House dinner when the following even- ing a wealth of the jewels, such as only rovalty can display. decked her magnificent toilette at the ball at the British embaxsy. It may have been that the lesser degree of finery was asi- lent tribute to the simplicity of our demo- cratic institutions and that she preferred to let every one else outshine her. In truth, this is actly what happened. Tne object lesson in royal honors paid to her at the embassy was interesting and valuable. In New York it has taken columns of the dai!y | papers to explain precisely what was the correct thing to do, while here at the embassy we saw it accomplished by « host and hostess familiar With all the exactions of the code, and delighted to be able to. show their roval guest their per- sonal admiration and regard in dotag oo. formal program was carried out with the per- fect ease and self-possession which these affable representatives of the British crown, but the princess would not accept that part which would cut her off from communica- tion with the rest of the guests. The red drawing room at the legation was kept especially for her. She was escorted there by Sir Julian, and if she had not cared to leave the room those with whom she wished to converse would have been brought in there and presented to her. However. she preferred more to watch the brilliant scens in the ball room, both before and after upper. Before the royal party went in to supper the quadrille onneur was danced in the red drawing room, Sir Julian dancing with the princess and Prince Antoine with Lady Parnosfote, | This formally opened the ball, although general ng. was not possible until long past midnight, after some of the guests had taken their d re. The royal party remained until about 2. but the ball room was not deserted by the dancers | until nearly 4, thus closing one of the most | brilliant occasions that has marked this year. ‘The Indy managers of the Children’s Hospital Will give agarden party and kettle drum on Thursday afternoon next on the grounds of the hospital, 13th and W streets, after 4 o'clock.

Recently the Navw Department manufactured at the powder works at Newport, R. I., two va- rieties of emokeless powder. The base of both these powders was pure gun cotton, which is turned into celluloid and then reduced to grains, but they were differently treated in preparation, and yesterday they were subjected to tests at the proving ground at Indian Head to deter- mine the exact effects of the different treat- ments. A six-inch gun was used for the teste, although the powder was really intended for eight-inch calibers. ‘The trial shots showed that the different methods of preparation of the same material produced very different results, as one of the powders gave to the shot a veloc- ity of 2,000 feet per second, with a pressure in the chamber of eleven tons, while the other showed a velocity of 2,250 feet, with a pressure of sixteen tons, a The w Danigh Minister.

A Church That Has Had a Long and Suc- cessful Existence. ‘Correspondence of The Evening Star. Exxtox, Mp., May 25, 1893. Protestantism early found a foothold in America, and in the course of time some of its seed fell upon the soil of old Cecil. It proved to be good ground. for out of this seed grew St. Stephen's Church, in North Sas- safras, near the old historic village of’ Earle- Ville, at the head of the placid waters of the Bohemia river, and within sight of the grave that marks the last resting piace of the ilius- trious Augustine Hermen. This seed first took Toot in 1692, and from that time to the present day large congregations have worshiped at her shrine, and hundreds of men and women who there learned the way of truth and life have gone where ‘congregations ne’er break have no end.” the third century of her exist- no hait in her step nor haze in her vision she moves resplendent as in the "dew of ber youth.” Starting witha feeble begin- ning: this old historic church has proven power for good in the cause of Chistianity und | stands today as brigbt as the sun, us fair as the | moon aud as “terrible as an army with ban-| t sin and unrighteousness. This cl 1s been in continuous existence since the 10th day of January, 1693, according to the | records kept in the parish registry since that time. For more than two centuries the history of this noble old church goes back. Upon the time-worn pages of its registry are to be found the names of some of the most honored in the chureh and the state, THE FIRST CLERGYMAN, ‘The first clergyman who expounded the gos- pel from its pulpit was Rev. Lawrence Vander- busb, of whom little is known except that he died in the year 1696. ‘The parish was formally organized in January, 1692, and its first vestry consisted of the following gentlemen: Casparus Hermen. William Ward, John Thompson, Ed- ward Jones, Henry Riggs and Mathias Vander- huyden. At's meeting held the following year it was ordered that the 12,440 pounds of tobacco be disposed of ax follows: To the minister, 8,000; to the sheriff for receiving it,620 pounds, and to the clerk, 800 pounds, The residue 3,018 pounds, was placed in the hands of Ed ward Joncs, to defray some necessary charges in fitting and repairing the meeting house. ‘The next minister that appears on the registry is Rev. James Crawford, of whom nothing is known. ‘The taxables in this year were 321, In 1694 the taxablos were $38,and the amount of tobacco raised for ecclesiastical pur 18,480 pounds, The vestry conclude: oses Was in 1696 to purchase more land upon which to erect a church, and accordingly 100 acres was pur- chased fromW. Ward for 5,000 pounds of tobacco, Casparus Hermen was entered into contract with to build a church of brick or stone, to be 26x35 feet, the walls to be two inches thick at the foundation aud eighteen inches above. For so doing he was to receive 18.000 pounds of tobaceo, A year passed and still no church was built, and the vestry questioned Hermon as to why he had not fulfilled his contract. He | replied that the building of the state house | took longer than he supposed, and also that he | Was prevented by unseasonable weather and the losing of asloop of materials, name year the vestry purchased 200 more acres of land for a glebe, so it now had over 300 acres of glebe land Re hard Sewell was the next minister. In the year 1698 the taxables were 329, yielding 13,160 pounds of tobace Zour the vestry lost one of its most w ers in the death of Casparus Hermen. CONTRACT TO BUILD THE cuURCH, Hermen having failed to build the church the contract was given to Matthias Hendrick- son and James Smithson for 18,000 pounds of tobacco. In 1714 the taxables at North Sassa- fras parish, which now embraced all the coun- | try between the Sassafras and Elk rivers, had | eased to 520, and in 1721 numbered 726. well resigned as pastor in 1726, after a | pastorate of more than twenty-six years, In 1724 the parish was without arector and Thomas Puesley was appointed reader by the vestry and was to put up the greeus at the usual time, | for which he was to receive 2,000 pounds of tobacco, Rey. John Urmstrom’ was inducted | into the parish in 1724. He wasan intemperate man, and the records show that upon one oc- casion he was 80 overcome with liquor he was unable to read the services, so that the People went out. A complaint was made and e was tried ona libel exhibited against him by the wardens for many wicked and immoral actions,which were proven before the commis- sioners appointed in his case. He was about | to bring suit for the recovery of his salary and to prosecute the president of the commission- 8 that tried and disposed him, when ouc day he, ina drunken fit, fell into the fire and was burned to death. Urmstrom was succeeded by The ta: blew in the year 1743 were 1.443. Rev. Hu Jones died in the year 1760, at the ripe old age of ninety years, His successor was Rev, Will- iam Barroll. A SMALL SALARY, On October 19. 1803, the vestry entered into an agreement with Rev, Henry Lyons Davis as rector for one year. He was to receive 100 pounds specie. A pound was €2.66%, | Tn 1804 is salary was raised to 560 pounds.” The v. try at this time was composed of the follbwing: William Ward, Richard K. Heath, John Mercer, James Morgan, Thomas Severson, John Com- égys, Richard Davis and Peregrine Biddle. A tax collector's receipt is on file for $14.60, aud the tax last year was $114.43. In August.1815, Rev. Mr. Davis resigned owing to ill health’ His last sermon was preached in November. He was the father of Mr. Henry Winter Davis of Maryland, The latter part Sf 1815 the vestry advertised in the New York news- papers for a rector and Bishop Kemp appointed latthew Pearce lay reader. On July 20, 1817. Rev. William Ninde was called and entered rector, He died the foliow- ing September. October 21, 1823, Rev. George Waller was made rector. ‘The old church at this time being in a ruinous condition and un- safe for use the vestry decided to tear it down and rebuild, On August 30, 1823, « contract was entered into with Matthew Weir, a carpen- ter, to complete the church 30x40 feet high, with chancel in the rear,for $1,200, CONSECRATED BY BISHOP KEMP. This building was consecrated by Bishop Kemp, July 21, 1824, and stood until 1873. The names of twenty-nine families appear on the list of pew renters, only five of whose descend- ants are now connected with the church, In 1826 Mr. Waller resigned. He was succeeded us pastor by Rev. Mr. Hotchkiss. April 18, 1828, Peregrine Biddle died, and out of respect for him the vestrymen wore crape on their left arm for thirty days. He served twenty-three years and was present at every meeting of the vestry. Rev, Mr. Sitgreve was the next minister, but he died shortly after he entered upon his du- tics. In 1831 James MeKiney was called. He resigned in the following year owing to poor health. 1835 found Rev. John Coleman tor. On January 7, 1837, Mr, Coleman having resigned. Rev.

DECORATIONS AT THE MADISON SQUARE GARDEN IN NEW YORK WERE NEVER EQUALED IN THIS COUNTRY—THE PRINCESS VIEWS THE GAY SCENE FOR ONLY A SHORT TIME. Rich and magnificent as have been the decor- ations of Madison Square Garden in times past it is probable that those of last night were never equaled; certainly never before in this country have they been surpassed. All the artistic skill of the florist was called into play to present a scene that will never be forgotten by those for- tunate enongh to ‘witness it. The ball took place in the assembly room, and on this occa- sion its appearance was that of one floral bower. From the street below to the innermost recesses of the hall there wasa profusion of nature's choicest beauties, all combining to make a pic- tare bewildering in its detail, charming in its conception and harmonious in its development The floral bower began with the entrance on the Madison Square side and extended to the stairway, forming the ascent to. the assembly chamber above. The roof of the bower con- sisted of a background of green foliage, in which innumerable white blossoms had been worked; the sides were of lilies and blossoms, columns of sweet peas ‘and pink roses forming the apparent support of the roof. Pendant from the ceiling were here and there tassels of Baroness Rothschild roses clustered together with white atin ribbons, In the ascent to the stairway the walls and ceiling ee covered with palm foliage, here again it blossoms beinginterwoven with beautiful effect, and clusters of white flowers tied to the hand- rails the entire Cistance to the lobby of the assembly room. The lobby itself was trans- formed into a veritable garden. WHERE THE PRINCESS RECEIVED. The place of honor in the Assembly Hall was of course, assigned to the infanta and her suite, and here all that artistic skill could do had been accomplished. This royal apartment was made up by making the three boxes at the south aide nearest the stage into one, the whole being con- verted into a gorgeous floral bower, with a pro- Jecting canopy resembling in the exquisiteness of its treatment the interior surfuce of a deli- ately colored sea shell. The outer edge was made up of rare orchids and maidenbair ferns, and the remainder built up by an arrangement of alternate layers of Madame ‘Teeraut rosea, and the perfect white of the lily of the valley, which Eulalic admires so mucb. ‘The interior woodwork of the box was com- pletely hidden from view by an artistic garland roses and white lilies, with masses of interjected here and there. ‘The railing of the box was a mass of lilies of the valley. Festoons of white and pink roses and p ink pe- onies, tied with the princess’ colors, blue and white, floated from the chandelier. “The front of the balconies was somewhat similarly deco- rated, the festoons being garlands of white and ink roses, festooned at intervals with medal- ious of roses of tho same combination and mib- bons. The whole balcony rail was hidden be- neath many bunches of white and pink rose- buds, clustered with broad satin ribbons and streamers floating over the rail. The front of the stage presented a beatiful sight. Nine private boxes were arranged there, behind which. the peared a conservatory effect that was delusive in its naturalness. It ‘was created by an ingenious grouping of lofty palms, foliage plants and jardinierer of long- stemmed American Beauty roses aud lilac plants in full bloom. From the cornices, on each side of the tage, fell enseades of ferns and aspara- gus vines, in which were intermingled sweet peas and gardenins. On the right walla and under the balcony were magnificent collections of palms and tropical plants, with the project- ing celumus and stucco work concealed with panels of roses. On the floor of the stage across the front a parterie of rose plants in full bloom was arranged. of suificient height to conceal the front of the boxes as far as the rail, the latter being covered with white lilacs. The decora- tions, however, reached their greatest magnifi- cence in the room where the infanta received her gueste, This large apartment was furnished in the style of Louis XV, with the costliest of furni- ture and tapestry, wo priceless that the com- mittee took the precaution to have it insured for $200,000. The princess stood on a dais draped with elaborate Spanish hangings of the seveteenth century. The banquet hail on the ground floor was wrranged like a scene in Mad- rid, with banana, pineapple and orange trees in profusion, ENTRANCE OF THE PRINCESS. At 10 o'clock the boxes in the gallery of the concert room were nearly all filled with gor- geourly attired women, and with men, half of whom wore either uniforms or decorations of some Spanish society. In the assembly room adjoining the concert hall all was in readiness for the arrival of the guests of the evening. Shortly after 10 o'clock the lady patronesses who were to be presented to the infanta entered the assembly room and ranged themselves down the south side, with the gentlemen opposite, leaving the center of the room clear, In this assemblage were many of the leading society women of the city. Their gowns appeared to excellent advantage against the background of oriental tapestries. Diamonds and priceless gems shone at their throats and in their hair. The princess entered at 11 o'clock and was preceded by Senor Navarro, who led her up on the platform. Prince Antoine took his place at her left, and the marchioness stood at the ide of the dais near the prince. The infanta but looked somewhat tired as the presentation was begun. The prince made no attempt to conceal the fact that he was tired, and looked on with an air of ennui. The members of the reception and floor committees were introduced, the princess bowing and smiling as each ‘was presented. She wore a gown of pale blue brocaded sil trimmed with old pink. and the low corsage faced with pale blue lace. A necklace of dia- monds and turquoise encircled her throat, and there were diamonds in her hair. Afier standing eight minutes the princess showed signs of weariness and sat down, re- | ceiving the ladics sitting. ‘The appearance of the princess in the gallery was the signal for the opening of the ball. ‘The first quadrille was formed at once and the ball was begun without ceremony. After two or three numbers had been danced the princess went op the floor and slowly made a tour of the ball room. Later in the evening the princess and the guests of honor took snj per at a table on a raised platform at one side of the banquet hall, adjoining the assembly room. Mayor Gilroy sat at the right of the princess. At her left was the Spanish minister and next to him was the prince, Atter the supper the royal party retired tothe Savoy ALL OVER THE GLOBE— Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets are known.
