The ceremony will tal: on April 11 at 7:30 e place | and will be followed by a reception at the residence of the bride’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. V. N. Huyck. Only a family party will be pres- ent at the ceremony. Miss May Huyck will attend her sister as maid of honor, and Mr. Rengifo, the Columbian arge d'affaires, will be best man. The bride's uncle, Rev. Father Boone, College, Baltimore, will officiate, assisted by her cousin, Rev. Father Dy. of the Sulpician Order, of St. Mary’s Seminary, Baltimore.

Mrs. Damrosch was here last week to spend a few days with her mother and sister. The date of the we ding has not as yet been definitely deci upon. Both the Blaine and Beale fam being in deep mourning, the wedding will be necessarily a quiet one. Only the inost intimate friends of the contracung parties will be present, making, in addition to the relatives, only the giving of six invitations.

Local Happe: zs of Interest to West End Residents, On March 24 representatives of the miners employed in the fields near the upper end of the Chesapeake and Ohio canal and@ the presidents of the various coal companies in- terested there will confer in regard to the Proposed reduction in mining rates. The miners are now receiving 50 cents a ton. This amount they have gotten from 1883 up to the present time, with the exception of the interval from 1884 to 1887, when the price was necessarily cut @own, owing to the decrease in the selling price of the fuel. A strike was participated In by the minera, though, before the reduced figure was ac- cepted. No such action is anticipated, how- ever, in connection with the reduction now | Proposed. The miners have reasonable men | considering their cause. The general belief is Uhat the proposed reduction cepted by the miners. Proposed Railroad.

Too Many Mothers Want the District to Support Children. Benedine Brown, a young colored woman, carrying in her arms a four-weeks-old ille- gitimate child, appeared in Judge Miller’s court today, and asked that the infant be turned over to the board of guardians. She claims that the child's father is a cleri in the pension office, and some weeks ago she swore out a warrant, charging him h criminal assault, but the grand jury ignored the charge. The child was attired in a handsome silk embroidered white gown, and showed every evidence of good care, while the mother was also comfortably dressed. “I'm too weak to work, and am unable to care for the child,” was what she told the court. “She's been put out of the haspital,” said Mrs. Braxton, the woman's adopted mother. “I'm unable to support her, and, of cour: she has no home.” “I can't even take care of myself,” said Benedine, when questioned by the’ court, | i | | | Veterinarian, , he is poor and a stranger, jand carriages,’ “and of course I can’t look after the baby “There are lots of persons in this ci | who haven't brown stone houses and horses sald the judge, “but they can look after their offspring.” Every illegitimate child, the judge sai is more or less in this condition. added, “I don't know that we are called upon to provide for every one of them. It's in the power of the mother to make t child destitute and then bring it to court More than six months ago I predicted all these children would be brought in saddled upon the board, to eat up the ap- propriation. If this thing is to be ec it will only operate as an encouragement to vice. These mothers come in here, and are willing to give up their children with very | much grace and very little reluctance. “There are thousands of women in thi city,” the judge added, “who have a arms and half a dozen ott around them, and who are able to work.
