Gunston not only instructs but polishes its pupils, for the refining influences that surround them are scarcely of less importance to their future than the careful mental train- ing they undergo.

NOT LINCOLN’S OWN WORDS A Famous Sentence From His Gettysburg Speech. Quoted From Henry Wilson, but Generally Supposed to Be Orig- inal With Lincoln. To the Editor of The Evening Star: The Evening Star of the 6th instant states that on “the bronze tablet” provided by the act of March 11, 18%, establishing a national military park at Gettysburg, Pa., “the immortal address” of President Lin- coln of November 10, 1863, is to be “per- petuated.” In doing that, a very proper thing in itself, should not care be had that injustice be not done to another meritori- ous and distinguished statesman by print- ing as original*with Mr. Lincoln what, was only a quctation by him? The Star prints the portion of the address intended to be perpetuated. It of course embraces the most famous clause of the immortal ad- dress, as follows: “It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us; that from these honored dead we take increased devoticn to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion; that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain; that this nation, un- der God, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that gcvernment of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.” “A government of the people, by the peo- ple and for the people’—these celebrated words, nor the idea which they embody, were not original with Mr. Lincoln. They ere simply quoted by Fim from the pre- vious writings of an emirent and patriotic man (Henry Wilson of Massachusetts), and should be placed bétween quotation points to indicate that they are not original witb the author of the address. Common justice forbids that they be “perpetuated in bronze” on a national public monument as the production of the brain and heart of Abraham Lincoln, whose deservedly great ‘fame, whore really grand services to his country in the hour of its imminent peril, whose “martyrdom,” need ao ‘surreptitious support. Henry Wilson, in a letter addressed to “James Redpath and others, Boston,” and THE SOCIAL WORLD Pleasant Days These Going Over Summer Scenes. THE GOSSIP WANDERERS BRING BACK The Duke’s Intentions and His Shiny White Shoes: SOME OTHER TOPICS Now that the air is a bit crispy social life begins to be decidedly. interesting. It is not the number df definite engagements, but the absence of them, and yet the plenitude of things every one has had on hand keeps the current going along smoothly and pleas- antly. Folks are getting back to town, and any quantity of gossip, delightful and otherwise, of the goings on of people in their sets all summer at the various re- sorts is commencing to circulate. Pretty secon we will know it all without the trou- ble of having had to live in its vicinity for the experiences. On the whole, Washing- tonians, by which we include our winter residents, have cut a wide swathe every- where they formed part of summer colo- nies. At Newport, Senator Brice’s family have never failed in a single instance to keep up the record which they established the first weeks of their residence at Beau- lieu. They have entertained and been en- tertained by all the people of note, and will come back to Washington with almosi a surfeit of social glory. Mr. and Mrs. Trux- ton Beale have also,been quite at the front of young couples, determined to enjoy themselves both at their friends’ boards and at theirown. Mr. Beale has gone into Wall street, but will not change his residence from this city, where, as in the past, he will have active charge of the family estates. He and his wife will return here when the fashionable birds of passage start fly- ing this way. Another change brought about by the summer is the settling down of Mr. and Mrs. John R. McLean in their New York house. They spent the summer at Bar Harbor, but as Mrs. McLean was not in the very best of health, their social activities were not as great as formerly. For the past fortnight they have been living in their new purchase, the Barrios house, in New York city, where Mrs. Beale is now making her daughter a visit. It is to be hoped that it is not their in- tention to remain in New York all winter, for few houses would be more missed than the hospitable center they have made-of the mansion 15th and I streets. Some of the travelers just back have seen the Duke of Marlborough, and, with that refreshing candor which usuaily accompa- nies the confidences of friends long sep- arated, report the owner of Blenheim Pal- ace “to be a very insignificant little snip.” To continue the comparison, to the detri- ment of the physical charms of this scion of a ducal house, it is further remarked by one who has seen Miss Vanderbilt and the duke together, that she could “eat her din- dated Nevember 27, 1860, before Mr. Lin- coln’s inauguration as President, and three years before the Gettysburg address, urges: “Ours is a government of constitutions—a government of the people, by the people, for the people.”” - The exact words literally quoted by Mr. Lincoln in his Gettysburg address, and on the proposed tablet they should be placed between. quotation points. Justice, histori- cal truth, command that they be not per- petuated on a public national monument as original in the famous Gettysburg address. WM. E. NOTT. ——ee Made It Lively. Jimmy Carter looked a very diminuiive offender as he raised his face above the tall and looked at Judge Kimball in the Police Court this morning. He wore a cal- ico shirt waist, and it will be several years before he arrives at the dignity of sus- penders, The charge against Jimmy was ‘‘throw- ing missiles” and otherwise annoying Mr. and Mrs. N. S. Johnson, Germans, who live at 2209 L street, two doors from where Jim- my lives with his parents. Jimmy eis only eight years old, but, according to Mra. Johnson, he made considerable of a nui- sance.around her back yard, pulling her clotheslines, and throwing stones when she remonstrated. The little fellow told Judge Kimball that he had ro intention of an- noying Mrs. Johnson, end his father ex- plained the whole trouble by saying that it was only a neighborhood row, growing out of the fact that Jimmy and other boys around there applied the nickname of “Dutchy” to the Johnsons’ little boy. Judge Kimball told Jimmy that he had no right to annoy Mrs. Johnson by pulling her clotheslines, climbing on her fence and throwing stones. The judge imposed a fine of $2, which the father paid. Jimmy prob- ably “worked it out” when he got home. ee Isidore Behrend's Will.

The classes in rhetoric and philosophy will be formed as Soon as possible. Grant's Pontoons. To the Editor of The Evening Star: Under the heading “Grant Wanted No Pontoons,"’ The Star of today copies from the Indianapolis Journal the story of an interview between*Gen. Grant and a New York Tribune correspondent, according to which Gen. Grant, after having crossed the Rappahannock, and having had his at- tention called to the absence of pontoons, told the correspondent that he did not need any pontoons, as in case of a defeat there would not be a man left alive to use them. It seems a pity to spoil these latter day war stories, but the fact is that Gen. Grant, after crossing the Rappahannock on May 4, 1 had his pontoons taken up and sent with his train to Todd's tavern. They went right along with the army, and were used on the Anna river, the Chickahominy and the James. C. F. KEEFER. September 13, 1895. ————_ Transfers of Renal Estate.

District residents are admitted, ner“off his head." Why she should care to eat her dinner or any other meal so un- comfortably is explained to mean that the daughter of the house of millions is very much.taller, perhaps*a head, than her titled suitor. She is very tall, very slight, and her style of beauty is somewhat Japanesque, but those who know her have much to say of her amiable manners and dispdsition. So do they pile up nice things about the duke, who has made friends in every di- rection, and who, if he cannot be seen in an ordinary gathering of stalwart young Americans, has not shown any symptoms of increased head circumference because he happens to be a duke and seemingly favored as a suitor in the divided Vander- bilt family. Just to show how keenly the duke is watched, the day that he appeared at the Casino in a pair of shiny white shoes it set the whole social fabric to wondering what sort of stuff was in them. The ad- vanced force insists that the covering on the ducal pedal extremeties was nothing more or less than celluloid or sonrething similar, while the more conservative rea- soned that the shoes were of white patent leather, Just at present what the exact substance was forms as much of a problem as whether or not Miss Vanderbilt is to be- come the future Duchess of Marlborough. With a friendly way of helping his youth- ful grace to make up his mind, it has been suggested that if he wants a bigger pile of dollars than even this young lady’s for- tune, there is Miss Virginia Fair or Miss Perkins to be sought, the first with fifteen millions to her credit, with no incum- brances, and the last with seventeen mil- lions, also without bothersome restrictions. It is too bad that even dukes are misun- derstood when they persistently favor lo- ealities where heiresses abound. Mrs. U. S. Grant, who has been at va- rious resorts nerth all summer, and Mrs. Sartoris, who has been at the Hot Springs, are now together again at a New York ho- tel. Neither Mrs. Sartoris, whose engagze- ment to a gentleman whom probably she has not scen in the last six months still persistently appears regularly in print, nor her son Algernon, who was reported en- gaged to a wealthy New York miss, seems to have any intention of joining their ca- reers to those of others just at present. Mrs. Sartoris has plenty of admirers, and her son is welcome everywhere, but the latter has another year at Oxford before settling down as a’future American citizen. It is expected that both Mrs. Grant and her daughter will reside here the coming win- ter, for Washington increases its fascina- tions for them in comparison with no other place. Mr. and Mrs.*Hugh J. Grant were in Saratoga last weck, on a little visit to Senator and Mrs. Murphy at their cottage on Broadway.

WAS THE MAN. Charles E. Watson Made a Costly -Mis- take Last Night. Charles E. Watson, a well-built and ath- letic-looking white man, twenty-one years of age, was a defendant in the Police Court this morning on the charge of dis- orderly conduct. He was arresfed last evening by Policeman Hodges of the first precinct on the complaint of a lady to the effect that he had spoken to her in an in- sulting manner on the street. \The complainant was walking along 7th street with her husband, and she waited for him while he went into a drug store to make a purchese. While she was waiting outside, according to her testimony, Wat- son came up and accosted her. She orde: ed him off, and when her husband came out_told him about the affair, and he at o1.cé started off in pursuit of the fellow. Just as he overtook Watson Policeman Hedges came on the scene, and put the of- fer.der under argest. In court this‘ morning Watson denied stoutly that he was the man, ahd claimed that it was a case of mistaken identity, = evidence was against him. 0, you're the man,” said Judge Kim- ball. “I am satisfied that the only mis- take in this case was the one you madi when you spoke to this lady in such a manner.

Frazer late yesterday afternoon against James E. Dexter and the Secretary of State, praying that Dexter be enjoined freth collecting the sum of $1,600 from the Secretary of State as part of a sum of $2,500 alleged to be due Dexter in the set- tlement of the Mora claim. The Secretary is also asked to be restrained from paying the $1,600 to Dexter. The court is further prayed to decree the.amount to be due to the complainant, and is asked to direct the Secretary to pay the same to her? The pe- tition was presented to Ju Cox, who granted a temporary restraining order, re- turnable next Wednesday. The complainant alleges that Dexter is indebted to her in the sum of $647.10, and that Dexter is entitled to receive $2,500 from the Secretary of State of the funds in his hands to be paid to the parties en- titled in the said Mora claim. The com- plainant alleges, further, that Dexter, in payment of his indebtedness to her,” as- signed to her $1,600 of the said $2,500. ev- ertheless, she says, Dexter now denies her claim, wherefore, she seeks to have him restrained, as prayed in her petition. —<—<——__ The Southern Ladies’ Relief Society.
