In respense he wrote as follows: “Dear Sir—In obedience to rogue I state scme of my personal knowledge of value of Paine’s celery com as a medical remedy for certain afflictions and as follows, namely: “Judging from my own experience it is a first- class remedy to restore the nervous system when broken down or impaired from overwork of mind or body, revivifying the energies. It strengthens the digestive powers and cures costixeness; truly it is a great nerve tcnic, a good alterative, a splerdid diuretic. It is good for the kidneys and the blood, renews vitality and restores strength. It surpasses anything I have used as a health re- newer, a strength giver and system regulator. It quiets’ weak nerves,’ gives better rest, increases Doth appetite and digestion, and brings back lost power of balmy sleep. nature’s sweet restorer. | “Yours truly, WILLIAM HENRY DEWITT. ‘There is the statement of Judge DeWitt—straight as a die—clear—conclusive.

Mecting of the City Council and Busi- ness Transacted—Social and Personal Notes.” ‘The regular semi-monthly meeting of the city council was held last night with a latge attendance. No business of great importance was transacted. The report of the joint committee appointed at a former session for the consideration of the lease of the city gas works was read, and they recommended that the city advertise for bids. The vote stood 7 to 6 in favor of it. A bill was passed granting the Washing- ton, Alexandria and Mount Vernon Electric Railway Company the privilege of connect- ing its tracks at the corner of Royal and Wilkes streets with the tracks of the Southern railway for the purpose of han- ling freight. A communication from May- or Strauss recommending that the alms house be supplied with water from the main running to the Driving Park was read and referred to the committee on streets. An ordinance ordering the build- ing of a bulkhead on Union street between Queen and Princess was passed and the sum of $500 was appropriated for the pur- pose. An ordinance to put down curbing on Union street, from Duke to Wolfe, was passed, as was also an ordinance to sell for $6,500 to the Alexandria Fertilizer and Chemical Company the American coal wharf property, which belongs to the city. The petition of property owners to allow the Pennsylvania Railroad Company to tap the sewer at the corner of Henry and Cam- eron streets was referred to the committee on streets. There being no other business before the body, it adjourned until the sec- ond Tuesday in March. The Dancing Class. The hotel at Fairfax Court House on Monday night was the scene of a brilliant gathering, the occasion being, the last meeting before Lent of the “dancing class,” which has added so much to the pleasures of that quaint little town during the past season. The room was bright with the retty faces and willowy forms of some of irginia’s typical beauties, and the inspir- = Is Not An experiment — but a Proved Success, 'Thous- ands of housekeepers who at first thought they never could use any shortening but lard, now use COTTO- LENE and couldn’t be in- duced to change, simply because it is better, cheap- er and more healthful.

Danc- ing was kept up until a late hour, and it was with a sigh of deep regret that the strains of that old familiar ‘Home, Sweet Home” were heard drifting o’er the room. The german was gracefully led by Mr. Vernon Ford. Among those present were noted Mrs. Floyd, Mrs. Ewell Thornton, Miss Jennie Moore, Miss Cooper, Misses Dunnington, Miss Maggie Moore, Miss Du- vall, Miss Edith Moore,Miss Antoine Wells, Messrs. C. Vernon Ford, Conway, Chi- chester, John C. Dice, Thomas ‘Keith, Mon- cure, Bond, Duvall, Holbrook and Thorn- ton. Lost at Sea. The schooner John O. Sweeney, which sailed from Charleston, S. C., for this port on the 4th instant, consigned to Messrs. W. A. Smoot & Co., has been lost at sea. The steamer Assaye, which arrived at Queens- town yesterday, landed the crew of the Sweeney, which sprung a leak on the 10th and was abandoned after having been scuttled. Notes. Services: were held in all of the Episcopal churches this morning at 11 o'clock. Mrs. John Perry is very sick at her home on Prince street. Mr. and Mrs. Harris Freeman celebrated their golden wedding yesterday. The lecture of Rev. Dr. McKim at the ‘Theological Seminary yesterday was very interesting and well attended. Mr. James R. Caton has gone to New Orleans to attend the Mardi Gras. Mr. John McCuen has been appointed a special officer for Alexandria county. There were but two cases before the -mayor. in the police court this morning. Ernest Lee, charged with assault on John Lee, was Nned $1 and costs. A young white man, charged with assaulting his wife, was dismissed for want of evidence. ‘There were fifteen lodgers at the station house last night. Messrs. M. M. Davis and George H.

To the Editor of The Evening Start Last night’s Star publishes a resolution, introduced by Mr. Tucker of Virginia, ap- pointing a commission to locate the troops stationed at Appomattox Court House at the time of the surrender, to prepare a thap of the ground, etc. Aside from the fact that the engineer corps of the army went over every foot of the ground years ago and prepared and published a most thorough map of the field, the strangest part of this scheme is that a majority of this commission were either not at all at Appomattox at the time of the surrender, or exercised no command there and could have no personal knowledge whatever of either the topography or station of troops. Fitz- hugh Lee and Gordon were there; they held @ comparatively short line, and together made the attack on Crook, which gave them enough to do on their own line with- out being able to pay any attention to any other portion. Gordon alone of the two re- mained to surrender at Appomattox. Neither Wheeler nor Tanner was there at all, and if William Howard Mills was there he cer- tainly exercised no command, as he is not once mentioned in the voluminous reports and correspondence published by the war record office. One would suppose that a commission for such a purpose could be selected from among such surviving com- manding officers as were at least on the ground and in position to have some per- sonal knowledge of what they are to locate, APPOMATTOX, ——.——_ - Horseshoers Combining. A joint meeting of the Master and Jour- neyman Horse Shoers’ Association was held at Costello’s Hall last evening. The object was to bring about an effective combination of the two associations and to legislate for the best interest of the trade. There was a large number of the craft present. Mr, J. H. Mitchell was called to the chair, and Mr. D. C. Harity was made secretary. After some discussion of matters relating to the craft the meeting adjourned to meet next Tuesday evening. ——__ Miss Wataon’s Water Color Collection Visitors to Veerhoof’s galleries during this week will enjoy a rare treat, the at- traction being Miss Amelia M.

GRIDIRON CLUB GUESTS OF AONOR The Weddings and Other Attrac- tions of Shrove Tuesday. ALL QUIET TODAY Mrs. Hearst transported two or three hundred of her friends last night from these practical, commonplace times back @ couple of centuries to the days of 1770, when mea and millinery ought to have been synonymous terms, and when effeminate luxury, picturesque attire and music played by the great masters of harmony and song themselves were the diversions .of the princes and their courts. When her guests entered they were received by servants garbed as Moors, in gaily embroidered cos- tumes of crimson velvet, with fantastic turbans. It was their duty to escort the guests to the music room, where the hos- tees, in a superb gown of brocaded_ satin and flashing with diamonds, presented each new arrival to Miss Florence Bayard, in whose honor the magnificent hospitality was given. The corner of the room under the balcony, by rococo glass panels at the back and the appropriate furniture, was converted into a perfect Louis Quinze bower. It seemed framed in the drapery of gray silk which, heli by a Cupid sus- pended from the ceiling, was caught up at either side by other Cupids. On the face of the balcony a number of old musical in- struments—a lyre, lute, trumpet, violin and tambourine—were artistically tied with rib- bons, to which festoons of flowers gave the proper finish. Anton Seidi’s orchestra played the comp: sitions of Haydn and Mo- vart. A trio for piano, violin and ‘cello from the former was given by Messrs. Henry Huss, Henry Schmidt and M. Jaeger. Mme. Lillian Blauvelt sang an aria from “The Creation” and the page’s song from “The Marriage of Figaro,” by Mozart. The harpsichori used“is an old instrument, made in Salzburg in 1760, and was played on by Mozart. The floral decorations were in keeping with the permanent features of each room, and nothing so artistic in detail has ever been seen here. When the guests for the cotillion commenced to arrive, Mrs. Hearst and Miss Bayard received them in the reception rcom. This is a Louis XVI room. The walls are covered with light blue satin and were festooned with gar-' lands of pink roses. In the large drawing Toom, where the effect is a delicate rose color, the rose garlands were white and suspended by broad white ribbons from the cornice. In the dining room great masses of American beauty roses were grouped. Supper was served in the Holland supper rooms down stairs, on small tables, and the waiters were in the livery of 1770. The co- tillion commenced about midnight, and was led by Mr. George Andrews of Baltimore and Miss Florence Bayard. The favors were embroidered ring boxes, heart-shaped velvet pincushions, empire fans, silk work bags and bouquets of flowers, and for the men silver pencils, cigarette cutters, rococo miniature picture frames, pen wipers- and note books. As the invitations called for 1770 costumes, the guests at the cotillion were radiant in silks and satins of antique designs, with powdered heads and patches. Miss Bayard wore rose-colored brocade, her sister, Mrs. Warren, was in turquoise satin, and the ther guests of the house, Mrs. Cropper-of London, Miss Anthony and Miss Peck, wore gowns of the 1770 period. The entertainment. was planned on a magnifi- cent scale, and every detail most success- fully carried out. The Chilean minister and Mrs. Gana gave a superb dinner last night in honor of the Secretary of State and Mrs. Gresham. The other guests were Senator and Mrs. Sher- man, Representative and Mrs. McCreary, Minister and Mrs. Romero, Minister Men- dorca, Miss Mendonca, Assistant Secretary of State and Mrs. Uhl, Minister and Mrs. Zeballos, Miss Edwards and Mr. Cruz. The table was decorated with white roses, all the: appointments were in white and green, and the effect was most artistic. During the ten years of its history the famous Gridiron Club of this city has given many handsome entertainments, at which men promirent in all ranks of life have been the recipients of courtesies at the hands of this band of newspaper me! Their dinners have long had a national rep- utation, and invitations to share in the fes- tivities are always greatly to be desired. Occasionally, however, the program is va- ried, and the club members with their wives are themselves entertained. These gatherings of ‘the altogether” of the Grid- iron family, with other agreeable people in society or public life, have been at the head of the list of particularly enjoyable social events; as will be remembered by all fortunate enough to have been present at the charming reception given to the club by the late Frank Hatton and this season by Major Corson. ‘Last evening a recefftion of this char- acter was given to the Gridiron family by Mr. and Mrs. Crosby S. Noyes at their home, 1530 K street. For several hours the Gridironers and their wives and a large representation of Washington so- ciety, including diplomatic, congressional, federal and District officials, people of note in art and literature, and guests from other cities, enjoyed the opportunity of meeting each other amid pleasant sur- roundings. Rarely does such a congenial gathering of people get together. Several hundred were present, but at no time was there a crowd large enough to interfere with the free circulation of the guests. The house was beautifully decorated with flowers, and in the large dining room a bountiful collation was served. On the stairway in the big entrance hall hung a mammoth floral gridiron, and the same emblem was used in the decorations of the supper table. Mr. and Mrs. Noyes were assisted in receiving their guests hy Miss Noyes and Mrs. T. C. Noyes, who added greatly to the pleasure of the even- ing by a number of vocal selections, ren- dered in her best style. There was also delightful music by the Gridiron Club quartet, Messrs. Herndon Morsell, W. D. Hoover, J. Henry Kaiser and Al. Moshe! by a quartet of ladies, consisting of Mrs. Wattson Smith, Miss Florence Grigg, Miss Clandia Moore and Mrs. Herndon Morsell, and by Maj. Stofer, who contributed a number of his inimitable southern songs. The impromptu program was carried out under the able direction of Mr. E. B. Hay, who contributed greatly to the entertai: ment by singing and reciting. Mrs. Charles Tracey held a brilliant re- ception yesterday at the Arlington, and most of those who have known this charm- ing young matron during her residence here the past eight years dropped in for a parting call. Representative and_ Mrs. Tracey and family will leave here on March 6 for their home in Albany, and few of those who are severing official ties at this juncture leave behind them as many sin- cere well wisbers and who are parted from with as much genuine regret. Epiphany Church was thronged last night by the friends assembled to witness the marriage of Miss Meta Dora Noble to Mr. Charles Donald Marshall of Pittsburg. The ushers were Mr. Jesse Marshall of Pitts- burg, brother of the groom; Mr. H. H. Mc- Clintie of Pittsburg; Mr. J. V. Sloan and Mr. Charles W. Sloan of Baltimore; Mr. Charles Cowles Tucker of this city and Mr, P. T. Stuart of Philadelphia.

They were attired in blue satin with ruffies of chiffon around the low necks, and carried bouquets of tulips. Miss Irene No- ble, sister of the bride, was best girl and wore blue and white silk and carried pink roses. The ushers and bridesmaids pre- ceded the bride, who came into church with her father, Dr. Henry Bliss Noble. ‘The bride was elegantly gowned in white satin, trimmed with pearl passementeries, tulle veil and wore a diamond brooch, th gift of the groom.

Thomas Holsey, who is one of the largest men on the police force, was the first one to appear on the witness stand in Judge Kimball’s court this morning. The first prisoners to appear were: William Green and Bruce Cole, colcred boys under ten years, and the charge against them was vagrancy. They had visited Columbian Unt- versity and taken kid gloves from the pockets of overcoats in the cloak room and sold them to hackmen for five cents a pair. This stealing was done Monday night, and the boys were so successful that they re- turned last night and were caught while leaving the building. One of them dropped a pocketbook he had taken from the cloak room. The big policeman got on the stand and related the story of the boys’ conduct, and when he told of how they had disposed of the gloves the court interrupted and made some remarks about persons buying from boys. “The hackmen didn’t know the gloves were stolen,” said the officer. “Any man who buys articles from such small boys must know that they are stolen,” said the judge, “and he ought to be prosecuted. If these boys could not get ready purchasers they would not steal.” Green said that he stole the gloves be- cause his ccmpanion told him to do so. “T stole ’em to sell,” said Cole when ques- tioned. “What did you do with the money?” “Took it heme.” “He sells papers,” explained Green.
