THE EVENING STAR: WASHINGTON, D. ©, SATURDAY. NOVEMBER 11, 1893—rWENTY PAGES. HEAD OF FOUR CHURCHES. is It Any Wonder Ministers Break Down? Bishop Phillips Brooks Died as the Result of Overwork. Rev. Henry Langford, the Eminent Preacher, Just Sav From Same Fate Overwork kills. The great bishop. Phillips Brooks, was stricken down in the prime of his manhood and usefulness | as the direct result of physical and uervous ex- haustion brought om by overwork. Now comes the news tha: Rev. Henry Langford. | the eminent Baptist divine, of Weston, W. Va..j has just escaped utter nervous and physical pros- tration. He is pastor of four churches. Is it any wonder that be broke down im health? ‘The reverend gentleman gives a very interest- ing account of himself and his troubles: “For tem years." be said, “I have been nervous and growing worse all these years. During the lust four or five years I became so nervous I could scarcely sign my name so it could be read. I was so nervous that I could sot read my own) sermon potes after they had been laid aside awhil-. | “I was unable to hold my head steady in the pulpit. nor could I held or hat my books and papers without embarrassment, owlug to the tremb- ling and weakness of my hands and arms. I was so mervous that.I could scarcely feed myself. In fact, my Bervous system was wrecked. “I tried many remedies recommended by phy- | dinner of the season at the British embassy | | on Wednesday sent a thrill all along the sicians, but found no permanent relief. BEY. HENRY LANGFORD. “One day I was in the store of R. S. Ogden, at Sardis, W. Va., and be said to me: ‘You take) two bottles of Dr. Greene's Nervura blood aud nerve | remedy and if you say it don't help you, you need ot pay for it.” “I took two bottles of this medicine and found so much relief that I buaght two more bottles, and now I am wonderfully improved in health and strength. Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and) Rerve remedy did it. I can heartily and truthfully recommend it to the sick. Too much cannot be said in praise of this splendid medicine. “I say this for the good of other sufferers from Rervous and prostrating diseases who can be cured | by this remedy. For myself I am thankful to! God that I found Dr. Greene’s Nervura blood and | Rerve remedy and for what it has done for me.” | You who suffer with nervous and physical weak- | ness and prostration frum overwork or other cause have only to follow the example and recommen- | dation of Rev. Mr. Langford in order to insure a| return of health and strength. This truly remark- | able and harmless vegetable remedy is the dis- covery of the successful specialist in curing nervous | and chronic disenses, Dr. Greene, of 35 West 14th Street, New York. The doctor cam be consulted im all cases free of charge, personally or by letter. | Extraordinary PRICE TO MEET THE TIMES.

Her nose would frequently stuff up and she was continually trying to clear | her throat, which was very highly inflamed and often ulcerated. In fact, it was a frequent vc- | currence for ber to refuse food om account of the pain the swallowing induced. She was very hoarse | most of the time, and the slightest exposure ag- gravated ber condition. Her mother says: “I cer- tainly am thankful that I took Bertha to Dr. Jordan.

The first fi line, and there will not be much time now; for dullness in any part of the diplomatic set. In all probability there will be nu-/| merous departures next week for New York | and the horse show, fashion having decreed | that this event and no other shall open the | gayeties of the winter. After next week the Thanksgiving preparations claim at- tention here, there and everywhere, and those who have received the much coveted invitation to the first Patriarchs’ ball in New York, which takes place on December 13th, have the greatest of all treats in pros- pect. In Baltimore and elsewhere the debu- tantes are already being presented in large numbers, and bud teas are the amusement of the closing hours of every day. Our buds, as usual, must wait until near or about Christmas to unfold their charms. The number does not seem very large this year, but if quantity is lacking, it is more than compensated for in the quality. Some of the prettiest girls seen in years are to make .their maiden bows between now and H New Year, and girls, too, not only pretty, but accomplished and clever in many ways. There are to be two debutantes from the Supreme Court circle this winter, Miss Fannie Brewer and Miss Condit Smith. Justice and Mrs. Brewer are in the Lamar house on Massachusetts avenue, and they have almost entirely transformed its in- terior. A more attractive and cozy home it would be hard to find. Miss Fanny Brewer, who will make her debut, is a charming young lady,and has spent the two last win- ters in New York to avail herself of ad- vanced musical instruction. Miss Bessie Brewer is just on the borderland between school days and young ladyhood, and hates to give up the joys and duties of school for the demands of society. This winter, how- ever, she will take part in the entertain- ments in her own home, but will not make her formal debut for another year. Justice and Mrs. Brewer hope to have both their married daughters with them for the holi- days. Mrs. Carrick, whose brilliant mar- riage took place at St. John’s Church East- er Monday two years ago, has a baby four months oid, and the coming of this treas- ured member of the family is looked for- ward to with great delight by the grand- parents. Mrs. Brewer commenced to re- ceive callers last Monday afternoon, and hopes to do so right through the winter on that day. The Chief Justice and Mrs. Fuller are in mourning this winter, and the sadness that the prolonged and serious illness of Mrs. Colin Manning occasions them,and, in fact, all the court families, is very great. Mrs. Manning has been ill in her father’s house for the last eighteen months, and though at times her condition has been somewhat improved, there has not been at any time much hope of her permanent improvement. Lately she has been so ill that the worst seemed inevitable, but during the past few days has rallied a little. Mrs. Hugo Wal- lace has been home lately on a visit.to her parents. Justice and Mrs. Jackson have taken pos- session of their new home, the former resi- dence of ex-Secretary Noble, on K street, that they purchased last spring. Justice and Mrs. Brown are several weeks in possession of their new home, corner of 16th and Riggs street, although they have only the third story in such shape that it can be used. They were so determined, however, to commence this season living under their own roof that they are willing to put up with all the inconveniences of it. ‘The two lower floors are still filled with the workmen, but by Christmas it is expected that the mansion will be completed in every Particular. Justice and Mrs. Shiras will live at the Arlington this winter unless they change their mind and go to housekeeping. Mrs. Shiras finds it hard to remain away from Pittsburg for any great length of time, and therefore but few persons here outside of the court circles have had the pleasure of mak- ing her acquaintance. Justice and Mrs. Gray are in mourning for the stepmother of the former, who died some months ago in Massachusetts and to whom the justice was devotedly attached, and are not going into society this winter. Mr. Yang Yu, the Chinese minister, is | doing a great deal of sightseeing, upon which trips he {s frequently accompanied by his little son, who takes a delight pro- portionate to his years in the new sights and scenes. The minister is also fond of going to the theater, when Mrs. Yang Yu goes, too, with other ladies of the legation and their husbands. Mr.Yang Yu has al- ready made a great many visits, especially on the ladies of the diplomatic corps and upon a number of others of the resident families to whom he brought letters of in- troduction from a former minister here, Mr. Chang. There never was a legation dressed in finer raiment than that displayed by the minister and his suite. His garments are in the daintiest colors and m embroidered and trimmed with gilt. His jewels, too, are something that will be en- vied by the ladies. He wears in front of his cap sometimes a beautiful ornament, the center stone of which is of a rich pink color, and which !s surrounded by a ring of very large pearls. On the band of the cap {s one glimmering pearl of extraordinary His young son has two just such ornaments on his cap, but they are much smaller and do not attract so much attention. Everywhere the minister has visited he has made the most agreeable impression, and if he could only speak English his happiness would be complete. The legation out on lsth street is very elegantly furnished, the windows are generally filled with flowers, and the yellow flag with the big black dragon waves triumphantly from the tall flag staff. The marriage of Miss Warder and Mr. Thoron next Wednesday at the Warder residence will be one of the most elegant home weddings of the autumn. The bride, who is cordially Hked amongst young ani old, will be attended upon this most impor- tant day by two bridesmaids, her younger sisters. His eminence, Cardinal Gibbons, will perform the ceremony,which will take place in the hall upon which all the spacious rooms of the first floor open.

Seidl and His Orchestra Are Ooming to Washington So is Slivinski, the Rival of Paderew- ski, and the German and Austrian Bands—Local Organisati: The musical season was fairly opened this week with the concert of the Boston Sym- phony Orchestra on Monday night, followed by that of the Choral Society on Thursday. From now on the musical attractions will come thick and fast, and the lovers of the art will find abundant food to gratify their desires. As was stated last Saturday in The Star, Washington people will have an op- portunity to hear Seidl and his excellent orchestra, although after the failure of the first attempt to bring him here he had about concluded to give Washington the go by this season. Prof. Cloward has, however, succeeded in securing Seidl, and also the great Pclish pianist, Slivinski, who has created a furore in Europe equal to if not greater than that raised by Paderewski. Slivinski does not depend upon any unique personal appearance, but relies for his suc- cess solely upon his musicianly ability. He will appear here in conjunction with Seidl, which will make one of the greatest combi- rations ever presented in this city. The interest excited for band music by the concert of Mr. Sousa’s band is likely to be kept up, for the two German military bands that played in the German village at the world’s fair are coming here, as is also the Austrian band that was heard in Old Vien- na, and which has since been so successful in New York, Then, too, it is understood that the United States Marine Band is pre- paring for a concert, when the friends of that organization aze expected to rally to its support. In local circles it may be said that the Georgetown Orchestra is much encouraged under its new leader, Mr. Morgan, and promises to present an excellent showing when it shall make its appeazance in public. As the members were rather late in getting together, the number of their public re- hearsals may not be as great as in former years, yet it is asserted that the standard which this organization had maintained for so long a time will be preserved, and that substantial progress will be shown in its work. . Some of the church choirs are Preparations for concerts to give the a] public an opportunity to ascertain the excellent material of which they are com- posed. Among these is the choir of the Church of the Epiphany, which will give excerpts from the “Messiah” some time dur- ing the Christmas holidays, under the di- rection of Mr. Hal Leiter. The excellent quartet of this choir, composed of Mr. Ree- side, Mr. Turpin, Miss Craig and Miss Stid- ham, will sing the favorite solos, supported by a well drilled chorus in the other parts. This quartet, besides being well balanced, possesses excellent voices for solo work, Miss Craig, particularly, having a soprano of unusual purity and breadth of tone, abundantly competent to cope with the score of Handel's great oratorio. | There was one number at the Choral |Society’s concert that deserved recognition, jand that was the trio from Elijah for fe- |male voices sung by Mrs. Shir-Cliff, Mrs. |True and Mrs. Herndon Morsell. It was sung without! ‘companiment and the qual- ity of each voice was plainly manifest. Both Mrs. True and Mrs. Morsell are too jFarely heard in solo work. The former wae for years the leading local contralto |and the excellent singing of the latter |when, as Miss Lizzie Burton, she was the lalternate with Miss Adelaide Phillips in (the Boston Ideals, is very pleasantly re- | membered. |.

A SAILOR BOY'S ing ner- FORTUNE. From Beggary in California to a Snug Competence in England. From the Sau Francisco Examiner. Thos. Stone, an eighteen-year-old Eng- | sh sailor, who has been living a hand-to- | mouth existence in Oakland during the last seven months, has fallen heir to the estate of his father, valued at over £32,000. It was an early hour on a stormy morn- ing last March when a bedraggled and worn-out young man applied at the home of Michael Rigney, 215 7th street, for a | meal. He told a straightforward story about deserting his ship in the bay the day be- fore, and said he had slept under the sth street bridge all night. Mr. Rigney took compassion on the desolate sailor, and sup- plied him with food and warm clothing. As Stone proved willing to work, and there was a good deal of labor to be performed about the place, Mr. Rigney permitted him to remain, and since then he has made the Rigney home his headquarters. During his leisure hours Stone spent his time instructing a young son of the Rig- neys in the trade of boat building. In a lot adjoining the house he established a minia- ture ship yard, with cradle, blocks and ys, and there he built a full-size steam |Jaunch, which lacks nothing but an engine |to make it complete. The tale the stranger told was about as follows: Five years ago he was a school boy in England and had a penchant for reading tales of adventure. His reading made him so long for travel that he ran away and went to sea. When | he came home his father took him to Liver- | pool and bound him over to a sea captain for a voyage to and from Australia. He was signed for two years, but long before the voyage had been finished the boy's Greams had been dispelled and he had de- | termined to desert. When the vessel reach- ed San Francisco on the homeward voyage he accordingly got ashore and stayed there. He was penniless, hence his application for charity at the home of the Rigneys. During the voyage from England to Aus- tralia the sailor's father died, leaving him a fortune of more than £32,000. But the | news to this effect came only very recently. | Young Stone wrote from Oakland to his father several Umes, but received no re- sponse, so when Walter Seawell, an Oak- and contractor, left for a visit to England a few months ago, he was commissioned by the young man to hunt up his father nd see why he failed to respond to the | communications addressed to him. Mr. Sea- well found that the elder Stone was dead, and notified the son of this fact and of |the further fact that he was no longer | poor. The news has since been confirmed |by the British consul of San Francisco.

They Will Appea: im Every Sort of Shape That Fashion Can Suggest. The violet is the flower of the coming winter. All the new things of every sort are cov- ered with violets. The new embroidery patterns are in violets. The new candle- shades have paper violets stuck upon them. Even the candies are of a novel tint— urple. Pithe newest ribbons in the shops are vio- let, the color running through a surprising number of shades. The latest fancy soaps are wrapped in violet-colored paper. Note paper in pale violet is to be ea fashionable fad, and my lady will scent her dainty mouchoir with violet perfume. Some of the swellest Washington women are going to give violet teas during the coming season. On these occasions of mod- ish festivity many gowns will be worn of white silk with violets brocaded upon them, bei great bunches ofthe same flowers. One dress already” 4e- signed will have a low cut bodice entirely surrounded by a deep wreath of violets. At tea tables violet ribbons will be stretched from the candles to the chandeliers above, forming a sort of May pole éffect. A Violet Room. One Washington house already has a whole room done in pale violet—the wall paper, hangings, furniture coverings, every- thing. A pretty effect is produced by mak- ing violet the color-motive for a lady's bedchamber. The counterpane and pillow shams may be of white muslin over vioict, and the dressing table in the same mater- jals, tied with great violet bows in several shades. If nothing else is done in recogni- tion of this new fad, one should have at least one sofa pillow of violet. Violet has even become the proper color for babies, replacing the old-fashioned blue and pink. The violet tea gown will be very much the thing. It is noticed that all the newest and m dainty porcelains are or- namented with violets, either scattered about or in solid bunches. The latest de- signs in jewelry are in these flowers, and fancy pins and such trifles in violets will be popular as gifts for the approaching Christmas. Of course, this rage for violets will add greatly to the price of these blossoms dur- ing the coming winter. Many women will mix imitation ones with the real for econo- my’s sake, and their bouquets will not be less beautiful for that reason. Violets are perhaps more successfully imitated than any other flowers. A Clerk in the Business. A young Washington lady employed in VIOLETS THE the Treasury Department is likely to find) this s profitable season for a pleasant busi- ness which she devotes her leisure moments to conducting. She raises violets on a small farm of her own near Anacostia. The | work is very easy. She has more than 30 glass sashes, under which the flowers bloom all winter long. In May each year she has some fresh ground plowed, and in it she plants all of her violets, taken from be- neath the sashes for that purposs. Then she simply takes up the sashes, covers the newly plarted violets with them, and ihe work is done. In October they begin to bloom, and con- tinue all through the winter, so that the young lady can pick them every day and send them to market. All of her violet | plants came from one little pot which she bought at the Center market five years ago. They are made to multiply by dividing the roots, so that a single plant taken up in the spring will supply s score or more. She sells her violets to florists in Washington cr New York. Prices are higher in the me- tropolis, so that it PRUs to express them on. They never bring less than a cent apiece, and sometimes two cents. There is always a market for violets, and there is never any difficulty in disposing of them. Any florist is glad to buy them, if they are good ones and in prime condi- tion. They must be picked always in the afternoon, because otherwise they lose their perfume. To ship them, they must be Placed in bunches in pasteboard boxes, with waxed paper folded loosely around them.

A deep gloom is hanging over the adoles- cent section of the masculine population of Doylestown, the cause of which is the near- at-hand exodus of the army of pretty and@ learned women who have brightened the town with their presence since Monday last. A party of about twenty of the prettiest teachers gathered around the dining table at the hotel today, and, among otaer sub- jects equally interesting, the advisability of corporal punishment w discussed. Miss Mary Duval was decidedly in favor of do- sd away with such — vut Miss Eva asey, an attractive little lady, strongly urged its necessity. “I believe,” said she, “that in some cases it is the only way to act.
