Good Riding a tle a Brilliant Corona- Ball—Some of Those W Participated Correspondence of The Evening Star. CAPON SPRINGS, W. Va., August 28, 1894. The tournament and ball given at Capon on Thursday last were among the finest that have ever taken place here. The tour- nament was under the management of Messrs. Chas. H. Mills and Frank Tilford of Washington, to whose judgment and skill in selecting the knights and making all other arrangements its great success was due. Only gentiemen riders were ad- mitted to the lists, and the exhibition both of horses and horsemanship was in many instances superb. Those taking part were T. M. Lippitt, Knight of Elmington; D. F. Lewis, Knight of Buena Vista; L. B. Mc- Cormick, Knight of Would-tt-I-Could; L. M. Allen, Knight of Glen Allen; W. L. Lewis, Knight of Monterey; T. B. Hardesty, Knight of Arabia; C. M. Brown, Knight of Red Cross; Frank McCormick, Knight of Frank- ford—all from Clarke county—and L. A. Cover, Knight of Angerona; A. S. Worth- ington, Knight of Ivanhoe; A. L. Cover, Knigyt of Carrot, and B. F. Eichelberger, Knig® of Capon Lake, from Frederick county, Va.: chief marshal, W. B. Richard- son, Missouri; assistant marshals, W. L. Washington, Pittsburg, and A: B. Worth- ington, Baltimore; judges, Col. J. P. Farley, (S.A. and Messrs. M. W. Beveridge, Washington: Powhatan Weiseiger, New York; J. H. Hoffecker, jr. Wilmington, Del; Robert Harrisburg; S. H. Chanvenet and F. L. Wayland, Philadelphia. Both the charge to the knights and the coronation address were well delivered by Mr. W. A. Little, jr.. of Fredericksburg, Va. The successful knights were L. A. Cover, who won in three cides, taking eight out of nine rings, and crowned Miss Snod- grass of Harrisburg queen. T. M. Lippitt, who chose Miss Anastasia Howard, Rich- mond, first maid of honor; L. M. Allen, who Selected Miss Nora Moran of -Chariottes- Ville as second maid,.and A..& Cover, who crowned Miss Wyville of Washington as third. The coronation took place at 9 o’elock, in the ball room, which was -lavish- ly decorated with festoons of evergreens, golden rod and potted plants. Upon the stage at one side of the room was the throne, effectively placed against a buck- -Sround of red and gold. Preceding the en- trance of the royal party came in the chaperones of the ball, Mrs. W. H. Sale, Ca- pon, in black silk and diamonds; Mrs. R. A. Dobie, Norfolk, black satin and lace; Mrs. zoel Norfolk, black velvet, white point Jace and diamonds; Mrs. J... Farley, Phila- delphia, black and pink brocade; Mrs. De Haven, Philadelphia, cream satin and lace; Mrs. Snodgrass, Harirsburg, white moire and diamonds; Mrs. J. P. Washington, Pittsburg, black lace over satin. After the coronation a quadrille was danced exclu- sively by the royal party, after which the general ball began. At midnight a banquet of cold meats of every variety, salads, game, ices, fruit and all other procutable delicacies were served, after which dancing was resumed and kept up until Old Sol began to peep on over the wmountain tops. The programs for the ball were very dainty and nandsome, and the music, under the direction ef Prof. Donch of Washington, particularly fine, the band at Capon being considered one of the best at any resort in the country. Among those present at the ball were ‘Miss Mildred Lee, Mrs. Roger Mills, Wash- ington, in black satin and Jace; Miss Fanny Mills, lavender tulle; Mrs. Charles H. Bills, cfeam satin and“tacé; Miss Snod- grass, Harrisburg, in white organdy, with sleeves and sash of pink satin; Miss Bell, St. Louis, black lace, with yellow ribbons Mrs. Chauvenet, gray brocade; Mrs. Alfred Whelen, Phila- deipt.ia, white silk mull and pearls; Miss Baker, Chicago, gray. tulle, with black vel- ; Miss Bessie Baker, white mull; Mrs. Croshaw, Washington, white satin and lace; Mrs. Cook, Wasmmngton, pink bro- cade; Mrs. C.

Congressman Davin Replies to Con- Sressman Pigott. To the Kilitor of The Evening Star: Sir: I notice in your issme of the 2éth instant a review of the populist bills, in- troduced in the last Congress and this, taken from a speech im the Hecord by Con- sressman Pigott of Connecticut. I thank Mr. Pigotc and The Star for advertising our bills, as it will cause many people to think of them who otherwise might rot do- so. I wonder, however, that it did not oc- cur to Mr. Pigott that the unheard of ab- surdity of his “recapitulation” might not throw the laugh onto him rather tnan upon the populists. Mr. Pigott tries to show that the populists desire to flood the country with more than thirty-five billions of worth- less paper. The fact is, these populist bills are near- ly all emerge: cy measures, calculated to relieve the distress of the country, ard, the Diesage of any ene of them will render others unnecessary. For example, my bill for the “relief of certain mortgage debtors” would cause an incr2ase of money up to $® per capita, including the money now in cireulation, and not including lawful re- serves In the banks and the United States treasury. The ircrease of money under that bill would bring good times; labor would find employment at good prices, and my bill for the enlistment of an indus-- trial army would not be needed. Neither will the two bills of Congressman Glover, in the last Congress, be needed, and they would be dropped. That knocks twenty-two and a half billions of dollars out of Mr. Pigott’s footing. The same is practically true of the bills of Messrs. Peffer, Hudson, Boen and Kem. The passage of any one or two of the important populist bills for the relief of the present money famine, would render all, or nearly all, of the rest unnecessary, ard they would be dropped. I also discover another iittle diserep- ancy in Mr. Pigott’s figures. Discussing Yay bill for the “relief of certain mortgage debtors,” on page 10,298, he estimates that it would require three and a third billions ef dollars to carry it into effect; but, on page 19,300, in his recapitulation, he calls the amount ten billions. Of course a little discrepancy like that is not much for an orthodox goldbug when discussing popu- lists. But I claim that his first estimate ts at least a billion too much. The money in this country is monthly. reported, by a democratic secretary, as over one billion six hundred millions. Call it éne billion and a third, allowing the rest for lawful reserves in addition to present reserves not included in the seeretary’s estimates of money. Tuke this from the taree and a third billiors, which Mr. Pigett first stated that my bill would require, and it leaves two billicns es the entire sum de- manded by the populist bills. It increases the present circulation to a little over twice the circulation that we had fifteen years ago (1879), when we resumed specie pay- ments with twenty millions less people than we have now. So when we lift Mr. Pigott off of his wonderful mare’ est, we find it full of “fuss and feathers,” but with only cne egg, and that not a very frightful one. Populists desire to relieve. the distr 3 of the country. They did not Delleve that the repeal of the silver purchase clause of the Sherman law would do it, and it has not. They do rot believe that an endless chorus of “chin music” on the tariff will do it, and it will not. But an increase. of money will relieve the distresses of the country, if the lessons of history teach anything; and there is no other remedy. The populists in the last Congress and this have offered about a dozen bills in this line—to increase the money and relieve the people. The passage of any one or two of these remedial measures will render all the rest unnecessary, and they will be dropped. So, then, if Mr. Pigott will deduct some thirty-three and a half billions of dollars from his footing up he will have no quar- rel with the populista. In closing, let me try the bills of the two eld parties by the rule which Mr. Pigott ap- plies to populist bills. Some 8,000 bills have been presented in the House during the present Congress, mostly by men of the two old parties. If they should all, exeept the Repulist bills, become laws, what would be e result? No man ean imagine. No figures could express the situation. I think all will agree that Pandora’s box would be open and bhedlam would be rampant. It bas been estimated that over 13,000 bills were introduced in the two Houses during the first session cf the Fifty-second Congress, mostly by old party members, and that three and a half per cent of them became laws. The country was aimost ruined. The second session of the Fifty- second Congress did not help things. An extra session, and a long regular session of the Fifty-third Congress have been held. No populist bills of a general nature have been passed, but more old party bills have become laws. The country is rapidly grow- ing worse. Millions of men are tramping, starving and begging for bread. The loss- es to the country through contraction of money, falling prices and enforced idle- ness, are many millions of dollars per day, to say nothing of the indescribable human suffering, the increase of crimes and s eldes, and the dangers to, the peace of the country. The late Senator Plumb, in 1890, estimated the decrease of values in this country through currency contraction at three billions of dollars in twelve months; and, sald the Senator, “this contraction has been going on for ten years.” The fact ts, business is dying. The New York clearings were fourteen billions of. dollars less. in 1992 than in 1881, with an increase of fif- teen millions of people; and the clearings do not Increase, though the poulation does. These evils cannot be cured by misrep- resenting and ridiculing populists, Kinder- garten statemen must See place to men who are capable of learning from the Jes- sons of history, and.-of comprehending the situation. Very respectfully. JOHN DAVIS. TAKING WHISKY FROM BOND. Something Mysteri Aboat Recent Operations, The Chicago Herald says: “No one in Chi- cago believed last night that the distillers ever made a serious attempt to borrow $5,000,000. The traders, who are now in a position to understand the va- rious moves made by those who were manipulating the market, think” the whole stery of the big loan was cooked up to give somebody a chance to milk the Street. They say it is absurd to suppose the loan could not have been had on the security offered. Advices from Peoria last night confirmed this-opinion and convinced traders that the large quantities of whisky had been taken from bond at the old reve- nue rate for personal account, almost as much, in fact, as the distilers would have taken out themselves had they got Mr. Sage’s money. The revenue collections at Peoria yesterday were $27,608, which broke all records. Money kept coming in all day from mysterious sour to be used in get- ting whisky from bond. Orders were re- ceived by the company for $1,175,000 worth of goods. It filled what it pleased and let the rest go. Ever since the tariff ill pass- ed whisky has been taken from bond at the old tax rat2 in a rathe> mysterious was ‘ow that it is all over, the discovery {s ade that the Peoria heuses have only suo,de0 gallons left on which the tax has been paid. Why they should be making heroic efforts to raise $5,000,000 to take that out wher only $2,500,000 would be is scmething nobody but outsiders n explain. The total collections at Peorla since the tariff bill passed aggregate $4,- 419,718. It is known that nearly 2,500,000 gallons of goods have been taken out, most of it during the last week, and the supposi- tion is that several heavy operators cor- nered that amount on thelr own responsi- bility oe Assigned to Regiments. The following assignments to regiments of officers recently promoted are ordered: Cavalry arm.—First Lieutenant William C. Rivers to the third cavalry, troop L.

IN MUSICAL CLRCLES|LATE A Prospect of German Grand’ Opera in Walter Damrosch to Bring His Big Company From New York—Sousa’s Popularity ‘at Manhatt: Beach. «: It is-quite likely that Washington will’ have much more good music the coming season than was at first anticipated. The regular series of Boston Symphony Orches- tra concerts are, of course, expected, and will take place, as usual, at Metzerott Hall. It 1s quite likely that Seidl will bring his orchestra here for a series of concerts, but whether they will come to Metzerott or Corvention Hall is not yet determined. The latest move is on the part of Mr. Walter Damrosch, in whose behalf Mr. Leon Mar- gulies said that it was Mr. Damrosch's guelies said that it was Mr, Damrosch’s first intention to give a regular Wagner festival, lasting at least three“days, In this city, the performance, of course, taking place at Convention Hall. This ‘was found impracticable, owing to an inability to ar- range dates for the artists who are coming over to participate in the séason of Ger- man opera Mr. Damrosch will give in New York. He is determined, however, that Washington shall have at least one op- portunity to hear these artists, who are the greatest in their respective roles in the world, and he has resolved to give one right of opera in Convention Hall. The date will probably -he the 6th of February, and that will bring it hin the short ses- sion of Corgress, and also just before the commencement of Lent. it has not yet been determined what opera is to be presented, but it is likely that {it will be “Tannhauser,” in which Max Alvery will sing the leading tenor role and the otker artists will be the best of the company that Mr. Damrosch will brirg over. If “Tannhauser” is decided upon there is a possibility that the cele- brated pilgrims’ chorus will be sung by the Washington Choral Society. Mr. Damrosch also contemplates the giving of three sym- phony concerts by his excellent orchestra, and every lover of good music certainly hopes that arrangements for these will be completed. These concerts, as well as the operatic performance, will be given at Con- vention Hall, and the size of that place of entertainment is sufiiciently large to enable the management to bring the price down to a moderate figure. Of course, the operatic performance will involve a great deal of expense, as it is Mr. Damrosch’s intention to transport his entire company from Ne-v York here, and as this will be the first op- portunity that the people of Washington have had for witnessing a performance of German opera by a reaily great company, with all the accessories of scenery and stage effects and accompanied by an or- chestra in size and quality fully in keeping with the singers, it is likely that the prices will be moderately high. Whether the best seats will be sold by subscription or not is still an open question. A Washington gentieman Who has had considerabie to do with mvusiclans“and mu- sical people was recently at Manhattan Beach and listened to some of the excellent programs which John Scusa and his mag- nificent band is giving there. He said that he had quite a long talk with Sousa, who has now reached almost the highest: wave of popularity, even at that resort where the late P. 8. Gilmore was almost worshiped. “I found, when I came down e,”” said Mr. Sousa, “that there was something of a feeling against me. Everybody remembered the splendid werk that Gilmore and his wonderful band bad done, and they consid- ered it rather presumptuous on my part to attempt to take his place In the affections of the people. I recognized the fact that their devotion to Mr. Gilmere was perfectly natural, and I didn’t seek to repress it in the least. On the contrary, I rather encour- aged it. I never spoke of Mr. Gilmore save in terms of the highest respect, and I could do so conscientiously, because I believe that he was the grcatest bandmaster that this country has produced. 1 had my band play the things that Gilmore had made most popular here. I played Mr. Gilmore's own arrangements of compositions, and I played them as well as the band could. Pretty soon the people fovnd that I wasn’t en- deavoring to wrest any of the laurels from Mr, Gilmore’s brow, but that I was en- deavoring to follow in his footsteps. They also discovered, I think, that I was not an imitator simply, but that I had orfginal ideas which | was endeavoring to carry out. ‘The tide turned in my favor, and today I believe I can say without egotism, that I am as popular at Manhattan Beach as was the late Mr. Gilmore.” “That is the true policy for a man to pur- sue,” sald the gentleman who was telling the story, “and it illustrates one reason of John Sousa’s success. It is remarkable to me,” he continued, “why we never hear the Marine Band play any of Mr, Sousa’s marches. Sousa is recognized tuday as the best writer of marches in this country. His marches have a dash and a swing to them that are peculiarly their own. They are played by the best bands in every city in the Union, and yet since Mr. Sousa left the Marine Band they are never played by that organization, which made some of these marches popular. I believe that I express the feelings of a great big majority of the Washington people when I say that I wish Prof. Fanciulli would occasionally allow the Marine Band to play some of Mr. Sousa's marches.” Mrs. Kitty Thompson Berry will be the scprano soloist of St. Aloysius’ Church choir next year. Mr. Arthur Percy: Harris, the composer of the “Three Dukes,” is hard at work upon his new opera, which he expeets to have com- pleted early in September, and kis brother, Mr. W. H. Harris, is putting in good time of. the libretto for this new work. It is the intention of these gentlemen to bring this new opera out in connection with the “Thr2e Dukes” and another opera of theirs, en- titled “The Baronet,” which has never yet been given In public; and alse to repeat the “Three Dukes” some time during next win- ter. The chorus will be practically the same as was heard in the “Three Dukes” last season, but there will be some changes in the cast. , —_-—_ SATOLiLI APPEALED TO. MGR. Rev. Father English’s Congregation Want to Retain Him. The trouble that has arisen in the St. Cecilia Catholic Church of Hastings, Neb., ever the transfer of Rev. Father English, the pastor, to David City has been brought to the attention of Mgr. Satolli. The dis- satisfaction of the congregation over the near departure of their pastor resulted last week in the appointment of a committee to 2ppeal to Mgr. Satolli, and yesterday the committee had an audience with the apos- tolie delegate. The interview between Mgr. Satolli, his private secretary, Dr. Papi, an} the representative of the discontented con- cegation occupied an hour and was held behind closed doors. The utmost secrecy rved. The representative of the church submitted his case and protested against the arbitrary action of Bishop Bonacum of the Lincoln diocese. He referred to the high opinion in which the Rev. Father English was held by his parishioners and asked Mgr. Satolli’s inter- vention to revoke the order of transfer, which takes effect September 1. It is un- derstcod that at the end of the interview the apostolic delegate promised to give the matter full consideration, and to reach a prompt decision. Mgr. Satolli_ refused to discuss the matter when asked about the case by a reporter. —_—_—_—_ Acts Approved.

A special to the Baltlmore News from La Plata, Md., says: One of the most hotly contested political struggles waged in Charles county in 7e- cent years ended Saturday night. Fraacts M. Cox, editor of the Port Tobacco ‘Times, and also clerk of the senate committee on printing, led the Gormanites. In his paper he defended the Gorman tariff bill and also upheld Senator Gorman's.course in the Senate. The leader of the Cié¥étand, of tariff re- form, faction was Mr, J. Samuel Turner, clerk of the circuit couft of Charles county. He made the fight strictly on the line of the Chicago platform. The result of the contest was not known until early yester- day.
