Lenten Entertainments for Passing Leisure | ‘The Senate yesterday confirmed the nomi- H nations of J. Marshall Wright to be naval Ours. officer at Philadelphia; W. G. Sweeney to be surveyor of customs at Dubuque, Ia.; W. H. Biggs to be receiver of public moneys at Dalles, Ore.; W. A. Wilshire to be reg- ister of the land office at Lake View, Ore, and a number of postmasters. The Senate reserved the right to reconsider the con- firmation of Mr. Wright if found desirable. Mention was made of an anonymous Jet- ter received by the Senators accusing Wright of having expressed gratification at Lincoin’s death, and it was stated that un- jder ordinary circumstances no attention | would be paid to such a communication, | but that in this instance the writer had | said that there were charges on file with the | President confirmatory of this charge. | Hence it was suggested that investigation should be made as to the existence of these charges, which is to be done before the con- firmation is officially announced. Mr. Har- ris took occasion to remark during the dis- cussion on this point that, while his state was democratic, no one regretted Lincoln's death more than he. Local Pe: Among the pensions granted yesterday were the following: Weddings, Luncheons and Receptions —Personal Notes of Interest. It would not be at all surprising to the intimate acquaintances of Mrs. Cleveland if she and the babies were domiciled in the Cleveland cottage at Lakewood before many weeks more, or perhaps in a much © shorter period. While no definite plans have as yet been arranged, it is known that President and Mrs. Cleveland would enjoy a little change before they open up their country home, Woodley, for the warm weather. Their Lakewood cottage has re- | mained vacant all winter, and Mrs. Cleve- land would find a stay there very restful and attractive. Mrs. Audenried gave a luncheon today.

The Italian ambassador, Baron Fava, gave yesterday evening at his home, 1211 Connecticut avenue, a large reception to the Italian residents of Washington, on the oceasion of the fiftieth birthday of his maj- esty the King of Italy! The Italian society “Unione e Fratellanza” appeared in a body, preceded by the Marine Band, whose direc- tor is an italian, and which includes many Italians among the musicians. The band played the Italian Royal March, “Hail, Columbia,” and other numbers, and one especially composed for the occasion by Prof, Fanctuili. The Itatians offered to the amttssador a magniliceat basket of red roses and lilies of the valley, decorated with Tibbons in the Italian cvlers, with an_in- scription of their good wishes for King Humbert. Speecies were made by the pres- dent of the Italian society, by Dr. Verdi and Mr. Guiseppe Verdi and other mem- bers, and toasts were given to the health | of their majesties the King and the Queen of Italy, and by Baron Fava to the Presi- dent of the United States and the welfare lot Americ Baroness Fava, Marquis Impe- and the itaifan consul, Mr. Chas. smans, were also present.

Manager Schmelz had sixteen members of the Wash- ington Base Ball Club jumping the rope, and they enjoyed it apperently as much as @ party of school boys would have done. The men were ranged in a circle, and 2 ‘one of them took & position in the center the ring and held in his hand a rope about fifteen feet long, with a weight attached to one end. Next the rope was rapidly whiried about in a circular motion from the center pivot, passing about one foot from the floor. ‘Jump!” shouted Mr. Schmelz, and his play- ers jumped, but it required a quick eye and great activity to keep from being hit. When the rope did strike @ man he had to relieve the pivot man and swing the implement. It was, indeed, an amusing spectacie and caused a continual laugh from the partici- pants. “They imagine they fun,” said the manage: a ba cant, meee work is now being ac: complis!
