Building: Papers, Moth-proof Goods, Fire’ Brick, Tile Asbestos, Flue Lining, Pulp Slate, Clay and ke apis Brought the Court to Time. From the Philadelphia Daily Evening Telegraph. Magistrate Ladner was seated in state be- hind the tall railing In his Callowhill street office, his dignified clerk at one elbow, his dreaded constable at the other, when a well dressed man entered, mounted the step be- low the railing, leaned over, crept and ob- sel ed: judge, I wish you'd commit me to the house of correction.” “Too late,” answered his honor curtly. “Drop around tomorrow morning.” The magistrate was thus brief because the Tequest was no new one. Scores of tramps apply to the police justices for lodging and board on the Pennypack. But Ladner’s vis- {tor was not to be discouraged. “My name, judge,” said he, “is Silas El- kinton. I live at ‘202 Gratz street. I've been drinking too much and eating too lit- tle. I’m all broken up and I haven't a cent. Won't you give me a chance to brace up?” “You can have it tomorrow,” was the re- ply. ‘The boat has gone up the river, and I don't commit in the afternoon to suit the conventence of any man that wants to go to jail.” Jellrm desperate.” rejoined. Elkerton. “If youion’t commit me now I'll smash some- body's window; then you'll have to do it.” “Go ahead,” said Ladner, for the man did not look a person to carry’ out the threat. “You Won't commit me?" “No! ‘Smash! Silas Elkinton’s fist went through Magistrate Ladner’s door pane, price, $1.75, right under the awful constable’s very nose. Now," said the visitor, “I'll bet you'll commit’ me.”* ‘ou've thrown aces,” the magistrate re- Joined, red hot. “I'll commit you for a year.” ‘ou are more than kind,” said Elkinton, and the constable marched him off to Moy amensing and a square meal. —seo—______ Hoxtility to Foreigners in China, The London Standard correspondent at Shanghai telegraphs that Viceroy Chana, notorious for his hatred of foreigners and for encouraging natives in the barburo' treatment of Europeans, is reported to ha’ addressed a petition to the throne openly advocating the extermination of foreigners in China, and especially English, in order to prevent the eventual partition of China among European powers. The hostility to foreigners in the provinces is unabated. THE FALL SEASON, |ctgo ana wit return home by Niagara Washingtonians Getting Ready for the Coming Winter. End of Festivities at Summer Resorts Weddings and Engagements— Personal Notes. ‘The season, which has virtually closed at many of the fashionable resorts, has not been phenomenally gay. For oae reason oF another, few of those who have hitherto set the pace, have shown any desire to add to their reputation in that way lately Take it all in all, the Washingtonians at Bar Harbor have kept to the front better than at any other point. Families like the Lelters, the Warders and the Brices have been scarcely mentioned at all. Jomatic colony at Newport has done pret- ty well in the dinner line, and have been prominent wherever there was anything brilliant going on. Mavrofeni Rey's achievements in hospitality have been giv- ing much pleasure to his friends ut bar Harbor, and he can return here with abundant proof of his success. ‘The Washington colony at Beverly, which included the Hazens, Bughers, Pattene and Eustis families, who went away with such pleasant anticipations for the summer, found the first break in their circle by the death of Col. Bonaparte. Four cabinet households are under roof, so to speak—the Carlisles, the Lamonts, the Bisselis and the Olneys. It will be two or three weeks yet before the Lamont man- sion will be fit for its new mistress to 40 in and design its future arrangement, but it is fast getting into presentable condition. Unlike the rest of the cabinet, who are anxious to get within easy walking al: tance of the White House, the Olneys have selected a home at almost the farthest point they could from that important cen- ter. The Edmunds mansion, where the Attorney General has been’ comfortabiy settled since his return, is well arranged for entertaining, and in ‘all probabilizy will be put frequently to the test. The house has always been a quiet one, and has no history of hospitality save of the quietest scale. The drawing room and dining room are on the second floor, after the manner of English basement houses. The Oh have plenty of means and will entertain liberally. The Secretary of State aud Mr: Gresham are seemingly In no special kurry to go to housekeeping, and have made no selection yet. When Miss Herbert returns the Secretary of the Navy will choose be- tween the houses he has in mind after her judgment is secured, and the Secretary o! the Interlor and Mrs. Smith will be rcady to go housekeeping next month. ‘That coming events not only cast shad- vs before, but seemingly obliterate en- tirely, remembrance of things right here, is well exemplified by the fact that Baby Ruth has a second birthday to celebrate some time this month and there ts not any particular fuss being made of it, either. There are not many of Baby Futh's cun- ning ways and bright speeches repeated nowadays where they would get into print and all the world enjoy them. She is satd to have a remarkable memory for names and faces, a trait for which both her parents are notea. One of the cabinet ladies calling the other day at the White House was rather surprised when Baby Ruth called her by name, although she had not seen the latter for over three months, It now seems to be a settled thing that the Leiter family will take possession of thelr splendid new home this winter. The return of the Mexican minister and Mrs. Romero is now looked for every day. Lieut. Diaz, who has been with then on their extensive western trip, left them at El Paso to return to Mexico to spend a month at the palace with President and Mrs. Diaz. Mrs. Blatchford, accompanied by her son, Mr. Appleton Blatchford, will be here week after next to make some arrangements about her Washington house before it is rented. She will spend the coming winter in New York city. The Bonaparte mansion fs being placed in readiness for the return of Mrs. and Miss Bonaparte. Ex-Secretary of State and Mrs. John W. Foster are now traveling in Switzerland and will start for Constantinople about the first of next month, and continue their journey around the world, if the fear of cholera and quarantine should not cause them to change their plans. Mr. and Mrs. 8. M. Bryan started this morning for Chicago. Representative and Mrs. Sibley have taken the Wheeler house for the coming season. Senator and Mrs. Dixon have gone home to Rhode Island for a short stay. ‘The Bachelors’ ball last night at Lenox was the opening event of the season there. Mr. Pierre Bodkine of the Russian legation was on the committee of arrangements. Among the guests were the Whartons and Warders of this city. ‘The marriage of Miss Edith May, daugh- ter of Mr. and Mrs. W. V. S. Wilson of N. J., and Mr. Frederick William Riggles of this city is announced to take place the 2th of October. The marriage of Miss Laura Wight Wiley, daughter of Mrs. Virginia Wiley, to Mr. David Lewis Sandoe, took place’ at high noon on Wednesday, at St. Mark’s Episco- pal Church, corner of 3d and A streets southeast. ‘A large number of friends wit- nessed the ceremony, which was performed by the bride’s uncle, Rev. G. W. Williams of Sharon, Pa. It was one of the prettiest weddings that has ever taken place on the Hill. The bride wore a handsome dress of French gray cloth, trimmed with velvet of a darker shade, and hat and shoes also to match. She carried a bouquet of La France roses. The bride's sister, Miss Vir- ginia Wiley, preceded her as maid of honor. She was dressed in a white mull gown and carried a large bunch of white roses and a prayer book, bound in white leather, from which the ceremony was read. The best man was Mr. C. C. Hunt of New York. The ushers were Mr. Ephraim Cornman, Mr. Charles F, Roberts, Mr. W. A. Mitchell and William S. Hodges. The bride and groom left on the 2 o'clock train for an extended tour through the west. They will visit the world’s fair, the bride's relations and the groom’s parents. From thence they will go to Asheville, N. C., re- turning to Washington about the middie of October. The bride received many hand- some presents, and all of them useful. They will be happy to see their friends at 1206 North Carolina avenue northeast when they they return. Mrs. B. F. Jueneman and her daughter, Mrs. Willie Reh and her children, have re- turned from a three months’ stay at Colo- nial Beach. Miss Jane Culhane has gone to Round HM, Va. Mr. and Mrs. P. P.

Chameleons on ever heard of having a pet chameleon?” said an up-to-date young lady to a Star writer. “Why, you surprise me. The ani- mal is becoming quite a fad. Down in Fior- ida, where I was last winter, a very partic- ular friend of mine always carried her chameleon about with her wherever the went. I'm not sure but that she slept with it. At all events, she wore it constantly, "Yes, wore it, of course! That is the way to do with a chameleon, according to the latest style. Though I am getting very fond of my own particular specimen, I am not quite reconciled to wearing it yet. But this friend of whom I just spoke had her cham- eleon attached to 1 chain. She had a jew- eler fasten a little gold band around the creature's body, just behind the fore legs. To this band the chain was fastened, the other end of it being attached to a pin which is stuck into the dress, yh, I assure you that it is quite the thing. A number of women of my acquaint- ance in Florida last winter wore chamele- ons. They had them fastened to their dresses by slender gold chains, so that the animals could walk about. If you have a chameleon, it is correct to wear him all the time. Repulsive idea, you say? Not at all. See what a pretty little animal this is! Are its eyes not bright? And then it turns from one color to another in such a wonderful wa} When I tickle mine under the chin, he always changes to a bright pea-green. ‘Do you know, I was very much fright- ened when I brought my chameleon up from the south. After we left Florida last winter he positively refused to take a thing to eat. I tried him with scraps of raw meat and bread, but he declined to touch @ morsel. Files are his favorite diet, but there were none of those to be had in the north during cold weather. Finally, it oc- to me to experiment with cockroach- es, To my delight, he devoured them with avidity. I believe that half @ dozen cham- cleons kept in the kitchen and pantry would do away with every roach, particularly water bugs.” Dr. Stejneger, the reptilian expert of Smithsonian I; Ppl = “It 1s not a true chameleon. In fact, it is not so nearly related to the chameleon as the monkey is to man. Its right name is the ‘Anolis,’ and it is peculiar to America. Though a tropical animal, its habitat ex- tends up into Florida. It lives in trees and, like the real chameleon, is an eater of in- sects. “Here are a couple of true chameleons in this bottle of alcohol. You will observe that they are very different looking animals from the anolis. ‘They are not found tn America, but inhabit Africa, the south of Europe and southwest Asia. There are more than twen- ty different species. Some of them attain a length of sixteen inches when full grown. Certain kinds have long horns. They are a very ancient type of reptile indeed. “One of their peculiarities has to do with their feet. Each of these extremities has five toes, but is divided in such a manner that there are three toes on one side and two on the other. If you will put your hand in the position of being about to grasp, and will imagine that you have two thumbs and only three fingers, you will perceive the like- ness to the foot of the chameleon. It is made that way because it is designed for grasping the twigs of trees in which it lives. ‘The animal further assists itself to hold on by means of its prehensile tall, which it winds about the branch. Madagascar is a great place for chameleons. How do they change color you ask? Oh, that is very well understood, though it is not easy to explain in a few words. Beneath the outer skin are several layers of pigment cells, containing different hues. When the creature crawls upon a green leaf, the cells containing the green pigment come to the top, while the others retreat. It is the same way with the other colors produced. Of course, these color changes are entirely involuntary on the part of we animal, being merely intended to conceal {t from its enemies.” ——— A Luxurious Race Horse, From the Buffalo Courter. Ormonde, the famous race horse,which ar- rived in New York last week, has a lux- urious wardrobe. His dusters and hot- weather wraps are of the best white linen marked with a blue check. The same blue and white pattern on the blankets, which range from light to heavy weights and are of the finest lamb's wool. For extra cold weather are sets of tan-colored blankets and hoods which will hide the horse from head to heels like a huge ulster. Of the same pattern for rainy weather are sets of thin white rcbber coverings, as dainty as a young swell’s mackintosh. Rubbing towels, dusters, white and tan- colored cloths for bandages, and square blue and white checked padded flannel knee-covers, for use in walking exercise, finish the ‘wardrobe. They are the best Goods that could be tought in London. A quentity of English feed was brought over with Ormonde, and he will use that until he is acclimated. The hay cost $0 a ton in London, and is strewn with red clover tops. The oats come from Germany. Ormonde has a groom, @ second groom, and a watcher. One is ‘inclined to wonder what Ormonde’s thoughts would be if he should suddenly meet with reverses and come down to pulling a milk wagon. aaa Her Great Trouble.
