It must be rather distressing to royalty to see the small value set upon the gifts which it is the habit of distributing among its friends and followers. These gifts are corstantly being converted into cash in a most public and open marner, without the slightest delicacy or restraint. ‘Thus, at a great public auction held at London, there was a valuable gold-mounted ard jeweled cane, which belonged to the late Maharajah Dhuleep Singh, and had been presented to him by the Prince of Wales as a token of friendship and regard. It was but the other day that a number of very charming etchings made by the queen and the late prince consort forty-five years ago were put up at auction at Dublin. ‘They had been presented by her majesty and her husband to one Of her former ladies in waiting, on whose death they had been offered for sale by the heirs. The shop wirdews of one of the great pawnbrokers at Berlin were filled some months ago with an entire collection of valuable watches, snuftboxes, adorned with gems, articles of jewelry, etc., all pre- sented by various sovereigns and royal Yersonages to the late Count Visone, min- ister of the Fousehold of the king of Italy, and pledged without being redeemed by his seapegrace son, who, until the other day, was a secretary of the Italian embassy at Berlin. Thus it happens that one finds pins, rings, snuffboxes and even autograph portraits in the possession of pe>ple for whom they were certainly never intended and who make improper use of them for the pur- pose of obtaining social prestige. Perhaps the grossest case of all, however, was that of Baron von Redowitz, now Ger- tran ambassador at Madrid, who, on the conclusion of his mission at Constantinople, where he had represented Germany diplo- matically for a number of years and en- joyed the particular friendship of the sul- tan, who was never tired of loading him with valuable gifts, deliberately put up at public auction in Constantinople itaeif, un- der the very eyes of the sultan, all the presents which he had received from his Ottoman majesty. ———___+e+—_ Viewed Differently. From the London Sporting Times. “Boy fell into the water at the park to- day," remarked Master Pitcher, as he placed his hat over a bust of John Bunyan and took a seat on the music canterbury, “and just as we all thought he was a goner his bi, dog pulled him out.” “That shows, Arthur,” remarked Mrs. Pitcher, how dangerous it is for boys to at'the water's edge. “Think so, ma? I thought it showed how safe a boy was if he only had a dog.” coe A Suggestive Motto. ri Tid Bit ught a bulldog,” said Parsniff to p, “and I want a motto to his kennel. Can you think of ign, ‘Teeth in- hy not use a dentist's ed Lessup. here?’ " sugge: THE PAPERS DISAPPEARED Another Ohapter in the Legal Oomplica- tions of Mr, and Wrs. Thos, G. Hoover. Judge Cox Postpones the Hearing of the Case to Permit a Search for the Missing Documents. ‘The application of Mrs. Mary L. Hoover for an injunction restraining her husband, Thcmas G. Hoover, from visiting her resi- dence, 1723 5th street, and from in any way interfering with or molesting her dur- ing the pendency of the sult for divorce filed by her the 6th of last June, came up for a final hearing before Judge Cox this morning. A temporary restraining order was grant- ed Mrs. Hoover by Judge Cole last month, but when the case was called up today several important papers were reported missing from the’ files by Messrs, J. McD. and Campbell Carrington, counsel for the Gefendant. The missing papers were the answer of Mr. Hoover to his wife's appli- cetion, a similar application of his and ten affidavits in support thereof. They were lest seen last Saturday, when Mr. W, Williamson, counsel for Mrs. Hoover, re- quested the clerk to make copies of them for him. When Judge Cox's attention was called ‘o the matter today he directed that the case go over until tomorrow morning, a search meantime to be made for the papers. Each party of the suit, it is understood, claims to be the owner of the house in avestion, and each is desirous of an order restraining the other from claiming it as his or her own exclusive property. eS B. AND 0. GRADE CROSSINGS. The Commissioners Are Asked How Long Their Dangers Are te Threaten. Why are the dangerous grade crossings along.the line of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad left unprotected? That is the question the president of the Northeast Washington Citizens’ Association wants nsweret. The people in his section of the city are much interested in this subject, and in a letter to the Commissioners today he urges that the matter be considered as soon .a8 possible and the raflroad made to comply with the law. : Some time ago, it will be recalled, a reso- tution was passed at a meeting of the as- sociation calling for this information. The Commissioners were furnished with a copy of the resolution and they sent copies of it to Lieuts. Kelly and Heffner,’in whose pre- cincts the alleged violations of law were being committed, Their replies were duly received. President Tucker, however, takes issue with Lieut. Kelly in’ his report and calls attention to the crossings at Massa- chusetts avenue, E street and G street, which, he says, are left unprotected at night after 9 o'clock. ‘There ‘are other crossings not protected at night, he says, in support of his statement that he has personally inspected them himself. ——.—_ SEARCHING FOR HIS DAUGHTER. Mr. S. M. Douglass of Norfolk Requests Poltee Assistance, in the Queat. Mr. S. M. Douglass,, of No. 2 Shields street, Norfolk, Va., calledat-police head- quarters this morning and requested In- spector Hollinberger to have the police look out for his. daughiteD Bessie,. who is seventeen yecrs old. She is,of slender build and has a large mo:e.@n ;her throat. Her father says that she left heme in May last with a woman.named ‘Nannie Powell. He learned of her having been in Philadelphia and Baltimore, and he now thinks she is in this city. cITy LIFE IMPROVING. aaa gy President Kingsbury’ Addresses the Social Sefence Association. The opening session bf the annua! meet- ing of the American Sécial“Sclence Associ- ation was held_at Saratoga last evening. F. J. Kingsbury, LL. D., of Waterbury, Conn., president of the association, deliv- ered his annual address on: “The Tendency of Men to Live in Cities.” In the course of his address Prestdcnt Kingsbury said that a recont writer has sald: “The great fact in the social development of the white race at..the close of the nineteenth century is the, tendency all over the world to congre- gate in great cities.” Doubtless this Is rtrue, but it is not a new cr even a modern dency. For when the earliest dawn of Vanthentic history sheds its pale- light .on. the darkness which lies beyond it shows us citles as large, as magnificent, as luxuri- ous, as wicked, and, apparently, as old as any that the world has since known. Baby- lon, Ninevah, Memphis, Thebes, Damascus, were cited by the speaker as examples. ‘The summing up was: 1. For economic reasons a-large part of the work of the world.must be done in cities. t 2. Almost all the good things of life are easiest of attainment there. 3. Change from city to country a portion of the year is desirable and attainable. 4. The city is growing a better place to live in year by year. 5. Efforts to relieve the congested condi- tion by deportation of homeless children, etc., arc good, but only touch the surface, and city degeneration must mainly be fought on its own ground and on economic and not sentimental lines. 6. Just now the country life needs atten- tion as much as the city. The whole prob- lem, as sociological, is comparatively new, but progress has been made and the future is full of promise. —+e0«—_____ To Continue the Business. The business of the late firm of Willett & Ruoff is to be continued at the old stand by Mr. Charles Ruoff, who has been conaccted with the firm for eighteen years. Mr. Ruoff is well known in business cifcles, and is respected in the community. Mr. Ruoff’s father will also be associated with him in the new business. Mr. Ruoff has gone to New York to buy a n2w stock of hats,.and expects to open next Saturday with a full line of latest style hats, and will offer re- newed inducements to the former patrons of the house for a continuance of their pat- renage. ———— ‘The New Run to Norfolk.

SEEKING A SWINDLER Policemen on the Lookout for a Shrewd Colored Rascal. He Makes Old People in the Country Bis Victims by Pinying on Their Susceptibilities. A telephone message was sent to the sev- eral police stations this morning directing the officers to look out for and arrest a young colored man who is wanted for swindling. This young man went over in Prince George's county a few days ago and succeeded in robbing a countryman of $17, and yesterday he robbed an unsuspecting old colored man named Charles Hall, who lives on the Bowen road, Hillsdale. His first effort was-made some days ago, when he went to the house of a colored woman he- yend Anacostia and imparted to her the sad information that her son, who had en- sted in the army, had died. “His body,” said the shrewd young man, “fs at the express office, and it will re- quire $17 to get it.” The poor old woman, who was heart- broken because of the sad news she had been teld, hurried to the house of a neigh- tor, and got together the money. The fastest horse on the farm was hitched to the lightest vehicle, snd the young man was sent over with a friend of the soldier's mother, who was intrusted with the $17. When the freight office was reached the swindler took the money to pay the bill, as he said, but as there are several doors to the office, he made his exit, and, of ceurse, took the money with him. There was no dead body at the office, and the supposed dead soldier is still carrying his musket. Yesterday when the swindler, evidently the same one, appeared at Charles Hali’s house, he was very happy, because, he Pare a relative had died and had left him 000. said the young swindler to the old man, “I've got to raise $8 in order to pay expenses and get the money.” Old man Hall thought such a little thing should not stand in his way, and so he borrowed the money from neighbors and let the young man have it. This morning he was to meet him at Ist and B streets and get the money with a little interest. The old man came to town and brought his sister and child with him, but he soon found that he was the victim of a swindler, and reported the case to the detectives. CHARGED WITH SERIOUS OFFENSES A Wor an Insulier Forfelts Collateral —A Clerk Demonds a Jury Trini. There were two cases of alleged techni- cal assault called in the Police Court this morning, and one of the deferdants for- feited $50 collateral, while in the other case a jury trial was demanded. In the first case a tall, elderly man, with white beard, and much better looking than the average man, was arrested yesterday about noon charged with insulting Mrs. Mary Whit- ney. He gave his name as Thomas L. Johnson, and his occupation as that of a farmer, The police think he gave a fic- titious name, and believe he is not a farmer. It appears that Mrs. Whitney, who lives at 529 10th street southeast, was on Penn- sylvania avenue with her husbang viewing the procession, when, a3 is charged, this man approached, tcok hold of her arm and asked her to take a walk. At that time her husband was standing a few feet away, and when he learned of what had happen- ed he was ready to take the law in his own hands, and tne old man would prob- ably have fared bedly had not Policeman Williams appeared on the scene and ar-~ rested him. The police of the first precinct accepted $50 collateral in the case, and this was for- feited because of the good-looking old man’s failure to appear. In the other case a young man named William J. Yates, clerk in a furniture store, was the defendant, while Rosie Slaughter, a young colored woman, was the prosecuting witness. She went to the store where Yates was at work, and he went to one of the upper floors to show her some furniture. While there, the young woman charges, he took hold of her and made an indecent proposal to her. Complaint was made to the proprietor, and Policeman Bloom arrested the young man, who denies the charge. A jury trial was demanded by Mr. C. M. Smith, counsel for the defendant, and the case went over. —_—.__ “SADLY NEEDS IMPROVEMENTS. Residents and Property Holders of Ivy City Moving for Them. A delegation of citizens, composed of Messrs. D. J. Macaully, C. B. Ratcliffe, A. A. Murphy, L. Luebkert and Nicholas May, came in from Ivy City this morning and presented a petition to the Commis- sioners praying for improvements. Ivy City they set forth is in the District, and the taxpayers there are entitled to some consideration. They need light, sewers, and water, not to mention street improve- ments.

There was a large audience present last night to welcome the City Club, and it grew very demonstrative at times. Those old-time favorttes, reat Frenchy—Paulo and Dika—set the boys wild with their Parisian songs and dances, Tom Dolan introduced a number of his latest songs, and Bryant and Fulton ex- ecuted a clever sketch, “The ‘Papers of the Day.” The Milburn Sisters danced and sang themselves into popularity at once, The performance opens and closes with a clever burlesque, introducing Fanny Ev2r- ett, the dainty queen of burlesque, and Charles F.

A rumor was circulated today to the ef- fect that the Herdic Company had sold all their vehicley to the Atlanta Exposition Company for use in conveying visitors to the various buildings in the exposition grounds. This was called to the attention of the officers of the company,who prompt- ly denied the report. They stated that the only ground for the story was the fact that the company fad rented a tew herdics, for which they had no use, to the Exposition Company. It was positively denied that there was any intention of withdrewing the kerdics from the streets of this city. ———— Hix Smcke Was Coxtly.

Flow- ers. Miss Terrett and Mr. Hunter United in Marriage—Mr. Belmont’s Ball—Personals. NEWPORT, R. L, Sept. 3.—The engage- ment of Miss Gertrude Vanderbilt and Mr. Mcses Taylor, though not formally an- nounced, is now conceded by their friends. The attachment is a most natural one. Mr. Taylor was the special friend of the late William H. Vanderbilt, the brother of his fiancee, and the families have long been on terms of intimate friendship. The great fortune of Miss Vanderbilt is almost match- ed by the millions of Mr. Taylor. He is the second son of Henry A. C. Taylor, and his inheritance came from his grandfather, Moses Taylor, one of the most successful and respected of the old-time merchants. Miss Gertrude Vanderbilt is the eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Cornelius Van- Gerbilt, and one of the world's richest heir- esses. She is pretty and attractive, slightly above the medium height and slender. Her complexion is fair, her features small and regular, her eyes gray and her hair brown and abundant. A very pretty wedding took place at half- past 12 today at the residence ef the Misses Fillebrown, 905 23d street. The bride, Miss Margaret Stewart Terrett of Fairfax coun- ty, Va., is the daughter of the late Major George H. Terrett of the United States ma- rine corps,-and the groom, Mr. W. Brooke Hunter,. is the Hyattsville correspondent of The Ster and a son of the late Dr. John Hunter of this city. The home of the Misses Fillebrown, who are cousins of the bride, was decorated with flowers, and par- ticularly attractive was the drawing room, where the ceremony tock place. The bride came into the parlor escorted by her uncle, Mr. Gibson Terrett, and preceded by a flow- er girl, little Eda McKnew, who carried a basket of white flowers, and the maid of honor, Miss Katherine Fillebrown. Dr. Al- fred H. Wells of Hyattsville was best man, and the rector of Pinkney Memorial Church, Rey. Chas. J. S. Mayo, performed the ceremony. Only relatives and a few intimate friends were present. The bride was gowned in white silk, with lace and white ribbons, and carried bride roses. The maid of honor wore white silk, with a bodice of light blue chiffon. The couple received 2 number of valuable pres- ents. This afternoon they went to the mountains of West Virginia, where they will spend their honeymoon. They will re- side in Hyattsville: Mr. O. H. P. Belmon:’s ball last night at Newport was the christening of “Belcourt,” his palatial stable bachelor apart- ments. The host was sufficiently recovered from his late severe illness to receive his guests, but he is still practically an in- valid. 5 Belcourt is the finest combination of a villa and stable to be found in America. The fittings and furnishings are fit for a castle. Rare old tapestry and bronzes, statues of full-fledged horses, with knights in armor astride; thousands of dollars’ worth of paintings, etchings and engrav- ings, all emblematical of race horses, coaching and of all kinds of racing of an- clent and modern days, are on the walls of the coach reom, where the supper took place last night. -The Belmont colors and coat of arms are everywhere prominent. Down on the first floor and connected with the ball room is the stable. Here the thoroughbred horses were In handsome stalls and placed on dress parade. They were covered with pure white blankets and with colors to match. Such a scene was never witnessed at a ball in America. The pretty women, in chic gowns, strolled through the bril- Mantly illuminated stables with as much freedom as they did in the ball room. The ball room, running the entire length of the second story front, ts finished in old oak, Gothic style. Great beams divide the walls into panels and the ceiling into elegantly carved archways. Statues of four horses bearing as many kinds of an- client armor are conspicuous figures, as well as four standing knights exhibiting | four other styles of coats of mail of the olden time. The time till midnight was taken up with general dancing. The first supper was then served, and an hour later the cotillion was begun, and none to compare with it in favors and novelties ever has been at- tempted in Newport. Grafton Cushing led, aided by Hollis H. Hunnewell, jr. The favors cost $7,000. They included English ‘riding whips, silver mounted, and with silver pencils in the bandles; scores of metal novelties, such as thermometers and ash receivers; wide and gorgeous satin sashes, with jewel orgaments of rhine- stone and real pearis; satin caps in col- ors and form like those worn by Belmont’s jockeys, miniature -herse blankets, court oré >s for the neck, French walking sticks, driving figures with French @riving whips, cribbage boards and euchre counters, horses’ heads mounted on sticks. Parisian flower fans, satin bags hung with jewels, small satin slippers filled with natural flowers, gilt bird cages with singing canar- ies, tortoiseshell and silver tablets, empire sitk fans, beautiful enough to be carried by the finest lady in the land; silk flags of all nations, fang and ribbons, and beauti- ful bouquets of flowers. Every favor showed the Belmont coat of arms and was stamped “Belcourt,” and somewhere had @ trace of the Belmont rac- ing colors, maroon and red. Ten figures were danced, and for each there were four sets of favors. Indeed, favors were so plentiful that some were left over. The elaborate and costly favors were dis- tributed by Mr. Belmont’s English “tiger,” about three feet in size. The lad was dress- ed in high boots, trousers, silk hat and cockade, and on bis back were two wings to represent a modern Cupid. Mr. Bel- mont's two Egyptien servants, dressed in true native costume, with drawn swords, aided the “tiger.” The second supper was at 2:30 o'clock and was the closing feature of the remark- able ball. Like the first it was served on twenty-six small tables, each bearing a beautiful floral design. The carriage house, costing hundreds of thougands of dollars, with its tile floor and its general finish, unequaled in the land as a storage place for vehicles, was converted into a dining hall, brilliantly lighted and handsomely decorated with pa'ms.
