The Whereabouts of Well-Known Washingtonians. PERSONAL NOTES OFINTEREST With the President and Mrs. Cleveland back in the White House and most of the cabinet families at least partly represented in their home, the official life of the capi- tal has quickly resumed its normal tone. Of social life visiting back and forth the ladies of the official families now can have all they want. The exchange of experi- ences among those to whom public life is @ new and untried condition gives plenty Of zest to these meetings, more probably now than when the incidents will come too close together to be properly indexed, as it were. There is great pleasure mani- fested amongst the cabinet ladies to have Mrs. Cleveland home again. If everybody did not know it before the time is opportune to remark that President Cleveland keeps a very fine table. There are few delicacies or substantials in the market that are not seen on the well sup- Pied table to which he sits down three times a day. Neither reed birds nor oysters were set before him yesterday though, but he got right close to them with snipe and oyster plant. Watermelon and in fact all fruits are welcome desserts just now at the White House table. It is absolutely refreshing to record that another stalwart American father has put himself on record against the adoption of & foreigner as a son-in-law, even though he did have an undeniably genuine title »nd ® family history running back a century -or two. The recent announcement and subse- quent of the engagement of Miss Pullman and Prince Isenberg of Austria has brought out the fact that it was no want of persistent industry on the pert of the prince that he is not to enjoy the use of some of the Pullman millions, Although his sult did not meet with all the favor Le hoped, still success seemed very close, when Mr. Pullman had the chance to put’ the clinching argument to the whole affair. He said in very energetic language, and not to be misunderstood, that his daughter might marry @ prince if she cared to do so, snd he did not half believe she did, but if so she could consider herself cut off from eny share in his estate. The young lady, like a dutiful child, went right straight home with her mother to Chicago, and the whole affeir has ended very happily for everybody but the prince, who, having in all probability come to this country for no other zeason, has to begin and pay court to some other rich girl who may want to be a princess. The big balls this season at Newport could be counted on the fingers of one hand. In fact entertaining has taken quite another turn. Those who have yachts set the fashion for hospitalities afloat and the climax will perhaps not be reached until Mr. and Mrs. Vanderbilt ask their friends aboard thetr $750,000 sea palace, which is expected to shortly anchor off Newport. Mr. and Mrs. Astor had a large party in- vited for one day the past week for a luncheon and fete aboard their yacht, but The bad weather prevented. On land’ just at present the strongest social attraction is the novelist Paul Bourget and his wife, who receive stacks and stacks of invita- tions every day and can't begin to accept all that ‘hospitable friends are offering them. One of the most enjoyed treats yet given them was the yachting party on Narragansett Bay of which Mr. Perry Belmont was host. Col, and Mrs. A. Cleveland's ideally beau- tiful summer home at New London has most extensive grounds. One feature of the latter hard to duplicate is the famous elm tree under whose spreading branches it is said, one thousand persons could find shelter. Mr. and Mrs, W. H. Smith have returned from the world’s fair. The diplomatic arrivals the past weck have been most important. The German ambassador, Baron von Saurma Jeltsch, has been seeing the capital under the gul- dance of Baron von Ketteler since Wed- nesday. After his formal presentation to the President, which will probably take lace the coming week, the baron and his ughter will go t> Chicago to give as long @ time as possible co the fair. The new Chinese minister, Mr. Yang Ju, is busy getting settled down in the new legation out on 14th street. ‘The new Argentine minister has a charm- ing wife who, like himself, speaks English perfectly, having been educated in New York city. They have three small children. They are going to housekeeping very shortly. Mr. and Mrs. Westel W. Willoughby have returned to the city and are stopping for the present at the Hamilton. After Octo- ber 15 they will be at the Concord. Ex-Commisstoner Dent, who was married on Thursday at Cumberland, Md., has taken his bride, who was Miss De Cormis, to Berkeley Springs, where they will reside in the ew residence bullt by Mr. Dent the Rast year. Mr. Dent has lately celobrated is seventy-sixth birthday, but the lady of his choice is scarcely half that age. While their marriage was somewhat of a sur- prise to the family of the ex-commissioner, it is sald to be the culmination of a long acquaintance and the esteem that the par- ties have mutually held for many years past. As Mr. Dent has disposed of inuch of his Georgetown property, where he for 80 many years resided, it is quite likely that for the future he will make his home at Berkeley Springs where the good wishes of numerous friends will follow him. Mr. Patrick J. Drury and Miss Jennie C. Fitzgerald were married Tuesday morning at St. Dominic’s Church, Rev. Father Mc- Fealy, officiating. Only ‘the relatives and immediate friends of both parties were pres- ent. The bride was becomingly attired in @ gown of hellotrope lansdowne, trimmed with pearl passementerie and carried a bo- quet of bride's roses. Immediately after the ceremony the couple left for an extended trip north and on their return will reside at 220 9th street southwegt, where they will be pleased to see their friends.

I found him alone in cl the responsibilities resting upon solitary watch dog of the two and a half miles north station. He informs me that of a regular crew, and in case he is authorized to obtain volunteers to limited extent from the others living in the vicinity, for which an allowance of one day is paid ment. On the occasion of Wednesday there was a vessel wrecked near Asbury Park, driven on about seventy yards from the from which four of the crew the remainder rescued of the employes of the hotels in the % Some two months masted schooner Thos. in a gale a few hundred I am writifig, and, although only fifty feet § from the beach, te of the crew were lost. in neither case was there any appearance of any one connected with the United States service. Thus six hi ficed within reach of hut the parsimonious action ment. The storm of Monday last did not in violence the hurricane of the Broke fearfully coast, e fearfully upon the wreck of all the bath houses structures on the beach, not a vestige i j i z Place represent the hurricane as the sever- est in the past thirty years.
