The mysterious movements of several young men, some of them from Anacostia and some from Washington, during the past few days on the Marlboro’ road, just across the District line, have greatly aiarmed the residents of that section. ‘The young men took possession of an old barn which had been unoccupled for a long time, and converted it into a work shop. There were rumors that bombs and infer- nal machines were being made there, but as a sentinel was kept posted to keep every one not interested in the enterprise away, and he refused to answer all questions, nothing relative to what was going on in- side the bern could be ascertained. The Anacostia police also made some inquiries in reference to the matter without success. They have since been directed by Capt. Austin not to bother themselves any fur- ther about the barn or those who are oc- cupying it, as it is certain no crime is in- tended. It is understood that one of the young men has admitted that the party is constructing a flying machine, which is sure to be a success when completed. Mr. H. A. Linger yesterday purchased at public sale the extensive green houses on the Good Hope road, which have been operated for many years by N. Studer. ‘The price paid was $20,400. The establish- ment is one of the finest of the kind in this section of the country. Mineola Tribe of Red Men had their an- rual excursion yesterday to River View, and a delightful time was experienced by all who participated. , Harriet Choates, a colored girl, aged eighteen years, whose home is in Hillsdale, was last night reported by her mother to Sergeant Anderzon as having been lost in Washington. Harriet, who destred to have her child turned over to Agent Lewis of the board of poor guardians, Was taken to Mr. Lewis’ office by a policeman, and Mr. Lewis, it is said, promised to put the wo- man on an Anacostia car, /Bo that she could reach her home again. Harriet was never in Washington before in her life, and it is supposed that by some means she got on a car of some other line-than the one ene should have taken and has become lost. ——— ee An Abandoned Infant. A colored infant about one, month old was left at the front door’ of Meredith Hurdley’s residence, No. 1237- 34 street southwest. A note pinned to the child’s drees requested that the infant be named Mary Elizabeth, which is probably the name of its mother. THE SOCIAL WORLD What Society is Doing at Bar Har- bor-and Newport. DEADLY DULL 18 THE CRY At All the Summer Cities by Mountain, Lake or Sea. SOME HOME EVENTS The Newporters are complaining that everything they do is so magnified and ex- aggerated in the reports that are sent out broadcast over the country that they are beginning to Aght shy of any mention at all. There is a gcod deal of truth in the complaint, but there does not seem to be any feasible way of doing away with the trouble. In spite of all statements to the contrary, only the simplest form of enter- taining has gone on up to this date, and the real events of the season will not be- gin till the first week in August. Then there will be almost a month of gayety without’ a break, so far as indications point. While the wheel is uppermost now as rec- reation, the completion of the Golf Club and its opening with the amateur contests will divert the fashionable mind for a little while. A series of dances will also be given at the new club house. A rumor also pre- vails that an amateur circus performance is to be a feature of the coming month, with Mr. Oliver Belmont’s private menag- erie of wild animals, in addition to the other talent which may be found amongst the agreeable and available men taking their August vacation at some of the pal- aces by the sea. Men are, however, the only luxury not attainable in Newport, any more than at less favored spots. If one strays over to Narragansett a bellman, fig- uratively speaking, is sent out to look him up, and at the Pier such an arrival, if he really be an eligible, creates a flutter which is almost hysterical in its intensity. Truly, matches are not likely to be made at these earthly paradises, except for very few. The ergagement of Miss Whitney to Mr. Almeric Paget has been one of the most interesting announcements of the week. The young lady must certainly be a wise, discreet friend, for she has shown her ability to keep her own secrets. Without being a beauty, she has a good face, in- dicative of strength of character and the wish to please, even in little things, which is such an attribuie in her father’s dis- position. The young Englishman who has een so fortunate seems to have the right stuff in his make-up. A younger son In a family of fourteen, he realized at sixteen years that the family acres, as extensive as they are, would never get around. Com- ing to this country, he found work on a ranch, and, if success has come to him, the family influence does. not seem to have had much to do with it. Another feature of the engagement of this young couple is that it will not take another great American for- tune abroad, and this seems to please everybody. Three men of the Paget family have married American girls, and the pre- cedent is, therefore, well established amcng them. A rumor is spr2ad about that: Mr. James G. Blaine is soon to be married again, but, with tantalizing brevity cf detail, the name of the other partner to the contract is not given. This naturally relieves Mr. Blaine of any annoyance in the matter, since the same thing Is said every day of other well- known men, and he has grown used to read- ing smart things about himself. Just at present Mr. Blaine is with his mother and Mr. and Mrs. Damrosch at Stanwood, Bar Harbor. Mr. and Mrs, Truxton Beale are at Newport with Mrs. E. F. Beale, and Miss Abigail Dodge is at her own home in Salem, where she is slowly improving in health, amid familiar surroundings. Mr. and Mrs. Hugh Grant will soon re- turn from Europe, and spend the rest of the summer with Senator and Mrs. Murphy at Saratoga. The Casino dance last night at Newport was a great success. Mrs. Alva Vanderbilt and Miss Consuzlo Vanderbilt were con- spicuous figures on the floor, it being their first dance of the season. Mrs. Vanderbilt wore Nile green satin, with waist of drab embroidered silk, cut low, with black steel embroidered bretelles and nile green puff sleeves: Over her ieft shoulder and under ter right arm was a string of large, hand- some pearl beads. In front of her bedice was a diamond star. Miss Vanderbilt wore flowered brocaded silk, with waist of rich Spanish lace, trimmed with pink satin. She wore a large diamond pendant. Among those present were the Brices, Camerons, Capt. and Mrs. Ludlow, H. O. Bax-Ironsides ani Lord Westmeath. At Bar Harbor Mavroyeni Bey, the Turk- ish minister, gave a yachting party yester- day. After the party had spent several hours on the water, they sailed over to West Gouldsborough, where they partook of a delicious luncheon. Among those pres- ent were Alfred Le Ghait, the Belgian min- ister; Barcn and Baroness Hengelmuller, Count Szechnyi, S. Vogel of the Swedish embassy, John Ford of the British legation, Mr. and Mrs. R. H. Townsend and Mr. and Mrs. Charles Payson.

Since the formation of the respective boating organizations of the city amateur rowing has been maintained at a very high standard in this vicinity, both as to the prowess of the various crews, which have from time to time represented us in foreign regattas and as to the clean character of the f*port furnished. Never in the history of aquatics has there been any charge of professionalism or crooked work against a Washington carsman, and as a result the Potomac river regatta has been always regarded with great favor in other cities. The maintenance of this standard in- volves considerable expense to those in- terested in this branch of sport, as the clubs have no source of revenue other than contributions of their members, and their appeals to the public for sssistance have been few. The coming regatta of August 24 is an assured success from every standpoint, but the cest ef the same will greatly add to the already heavy burdens of the clubs, and to lighten this expense the joint re- gatta committee have appealed to the merchants and the general public for as- sistance. Moderate coutributions cnly are requested. 2 in Philadelphia, Boston and other boat- ing centers, it is the custom of the com- mon coun-il to make annual appropriations of a sufficient amount to defray all ex- penses of the annual regattas held in those cities, but, as stated, the whole expense of these events in Washington must be borne by the rowing men. See COLGATE MR. WINDOM’S ADVISER. He Was Author of the Three Per Cent Bonds. ‘The banking firm of Nesslage, Colgate & Company, which dissolved partnership be- cause of Mr. Colgate’s double life, has played an important part in the financial history of this country, according to the New York correspondent of the Philadel- phia Press. . It was Mr. Colgate, according to the Press correspondent, who suggested to Mr. Windom the plan which the late Secretary afterward publicly advocated—a funding of all the bonds of the government as soon as possible into a new issue, bearing 2 per cent,and on that issuing government notes, which would serve as the paper currency of the country. Mr. Windom’s idea was that this currency would act automatically, so that when there was too much of it out it would be presented for redemption in the bonds, and when there was too little money the bonds could be converted into currency. The small rate of interest he thought would overcome objections which might lie against bonds paying a larger rate. During his second term as Secretary of the Treasury Mr. Windom was firmly per- suaded that this would be an ideal cur- rency system for the United States, and some of our bankers have been inclined to think that he was not far out of the way. It has been generally understood here that it_was Mr, Colgate who suggested to Mr. Windom that brilliant exploit of his when he was Secretary of the Treasury under Garfield, and by which at his discretion he refused outstanding government issues at 8 per cent, although a few months before the bankers had been so frightened at the proposition advocated by Mr. Carlisle to re- fund at 3%4 that they brought on a brief money. panic by surrendering their bonds and thereby contracting the currency many millions of dollars. ——__+e+—___ The most expensive short story ever printed is “The Long Arm,” the $2,000 prize detective story, the first installment of which will be printed in The Star of Sat- urday, August 3, BRICKLAYERS’ UNION. ed nt the Meeting Last Night. Considerable business of aa important character was transacted at last night's meeting of Bricklayers’ Union, No. 1. The committee representing the union at the Labor day corference, which meets at Typographical Temple tomorrow, were di- rected to request that’ the route of the parade on Labor day be changed so far from that previously agreed upon as te have the line proceed down Indiana avenue to Ist street, along that street to Pennsy vanla avenue and around the Peace Monw ment, from thut point taking up ‘he route as originally laid out. It was decided that it would be inad- visable to participate in a joint picnic, as Was proposed at the last meeting of the La- bor day conference, and a committee was appointed to inquire into th> expediency of the union giving an excursion to some point down the river. It is quite certain that a very large num- ber of the members will participate in the parade on Labor day, but no decision has been reached in reference to a uniform, and it Is probable that none will be adopted, each man being permitted to wear such articles of clothing as may best suit his convenience. A committee was appointed to see Build- ing Inspector Brady and request he shall appoint a bricklayer as an assistant build- ing inspector. The members of the organi- zation think that they are entitled to this recognition, as the craft is not represented in his office, and, as a matter of fact, the organization brought the subject to the at- tention of the District Commissioners sev- eral months ago. The committee will call on Mr. Brady in a few days in reference to the matter. The following officers for the ensuing term were nominated: President, W. H. Maghan, Thos. Levi; vice presidext, Thos. Sullivan, M. J. Lynch; recording secretary, C. C. Hessler; financial secretary, R. H. Mc- Mackin; corresponding secretary, Thomas McLane; treasurer, M. C. Canty; sergeant- at-arms, M. J.O’Connor; assistant sergeant- at-arms, Patrick Boland. There will proba- bly be additional nominations for these offices on the night of the election, which occurs August 9, ——__ AFFAIRS IN GEORGETOWN. The Local Bicycle Club Has Been Dise banded. The Georgetown Bicycle Club has dis banded and the effects of the organizatioz sold. A falling off of interest brought on the disorganization. This club had the largest membership of any wheeling body in the District, and up to a year ago was remarkably progressive. Internal dissen- sions aros2, however, and the leading spir- its stepped out from the management. Their successors were unable to sustain the old interest, and the club house at 25th and M streets was given up. It was a three-story, commiodious dwelling, with club house facilities. The beautiful parlor furniture realized at auction but #9, and other effects were sacrificed. At one time the club membership exceeded one hun- dred and fifty. Record breakers of various kinds, trick riders and all-around crack wheelmen were on the roll. Albert Eskridge was arrested yesterday for violating the police regulations in driv- ing cattle through excepted streets at un- lawful hours. Fred Green, colored, was taken in for “threats,” James Smith for being intoxicated and William Hawkins for acting suspiciously. Se The American Pri er. The movement for the release of Mrs. Maybrick shows wonderful vitality. A Women’s International Maybrick Associa- tion has been formed, and is holding meet- ings before another appeal is made to the home secretary. Dr. Helen Densmore, a brilliant and learned American lady, is the president; Mrs. Katherine Prindiville of the Chicago Times-Herald is vice presi- dent; Mrs. Massingberd, troasurer, Mrs. es Cook, secretary. The associ: tion operates in the interest of Mrs. May- brick, both in this country and in England, in order to bring more influence to bear on the authorities and awaken more sympa- thy for their client. The first of a series of drawing rcom meetings will be held at Dr. Helen Densmore’s residence, in Elm Park Gardens, on Wednesday next, and meetings will be held in the principal towns in the country. ———_—_ The first installment of the $2,060 prize detective story, “The Long Arm,” by Mss Mary E.
