Bread Makers Worship It. If you would see how some of the old-time housekeepers of Washington worshiped Ceres Flour and how careful they are to buy it every time you would not wonder at its great popu- larity. The very best wheat grown in Minnesota and Da- kota, the greatest and most modern mills in the world and the finest refineries used by flour manufactures are the foun- dation that makes “Ceres” the magnificent flour that it is. Buy your cook ‘Ceres” Flour * —and if she is any kind of a cook at all she cannot help but make you good bread and rolls. There is no flour “just as good” —no flour so universally popu- lar—and no flour sold by as many grocers as “Ceres.” In- sist on the grocer sending you “Ceres” every time. Accept no * substitutes.

THE WEDDINGS OF NEXT WEEK Return of Secretary Lamont and Family From the Maine Coast. THE LATEST Se NEWS The agony is over at last and the offi- cial announcement of the engagement of Miss Consuelo Vanderbilt and the Duke of Marlborough comes at a most opportune moment, provided it is not followed by a denial. Every twenty-four hours lately has seen a new set of plans formulated for the youthful duke. One day he is to accom- pany his future mother-in-law and flancee to Atlanta, and the next he is whisked off for a season of travel in another di- rection, In the meanwhile, lke any other sensible fellow, the duke kept right on laying siege to the heart of the fair young lady, who has much to recommend her to a good man’s fancy, outside of her for- tune. Should the marriage take place within this year, the duke will have had plenty time to become acquainted with the land of the future duchess. The announce- ment has certainly been received with great joy amongst that part of the duke’s countrymen, who happen also to be his tenants urd employes, to whom the ex- pected stream of shining gold will give new heart. If the Hammersly millions did so much in restoring the credit of the late duke and the grandeur of Blenheim castle, what a boon the Vanderbilt gold will be to the present head of the house! The duke will be twenty-four on November 13. Whatever big game he may bag on his western tour, he starts out with the certainty of having made the best match, financially and other- wise, possible in this country. After the horse show will come the wedding. New York has a most interesting gossipy sea- son ahead. Miss Vanderbilt is only eighteen, and has spent a fair part of her life in Europe. About a year and a half ago she visited with her mother at Blenheim castle, where she will soon reign as mistress. It is likely that Mrs. Vanderbilt will be more in Europe than in this country for the future, unless she prefers to have her other children—two sons—educated in the land of their birth. The fashicnable season at Dinard, in France, was enjoyed by a number of Americans. Mrs. Hughes Hallett gave a cotillion in honor of the Infanta Eulalie, which was led by Jean de Castellane, “brother-in-law of the Countess de Castel- lane, nee Gould.” The Spanish colors were preminent in the decorations, and in the cotillion favors. In one of the figures the infanta was given a golden lily, and a num- ber of young ladies holding distaffs came forward and sang a quaint old Breton spin- ning song. Mis3 Eustis, the daughter of the American ambassador to Paris, was among the dancers. Mrs. Nellie Grant Sartoris is at the Arl- ington for a few days, having come on from New York to place her daughter, Miss Rose Mary Sartoris, in school at George- town Convent. She intends to take & house here again for the winter, and may make her selection during her present stay. Mrs. Grant also expects to be in this city the most of the coming winter, but is as yet undecided whether to take a house or not. Mr. Algerron Sartoris may not return to England to finish his education, but, in- stead, enter Georgetown College, so as to be rear his mother. The Duke and Duchess d’Arcos (formerly Miss Lowery of this city), after a short trip, Lave now arrived in the City of Mex- ico, where the duke represents the Spanish government. A pleasant welcome has been extended to the coufle. Secretary and Mrs. Lamont and family are expected home today from Sorrento, Me., where Mrs. Lamont and the children have enjoyed every minute of their stay. Several pretty weddings will mark the coming week. On Wednesday at noon Miss von Redenstein and Mr. George Herbert Stcckbridge will be married at St. Thomas’ Church at noon. A breakfast will follow at the residence of the bride's mother, Mrs. Elsie von Rodenstein, on Riggs stree' In the evening, at the Metropolitan, Miss Lille Graves and Dr. William S.

Lafayette Square Opera House.—The new Lafayette Square Opera House will not open until the 30th instant. Manager Albaugh found that it was impossible to finish the building sufficiently far to permit a_per- formance with comfort to both players and audience by next Monday, and so was re- luctantly compelied to postpone the opening one week. The initial attraction will be that originally announced—Miss Lillian Russell and her excellent company in her latest operatic success, “Tzigane.” Miss Russell is now singing this opera with great success in Boston, where she will ex- tend her engagement one week and then ecme to Washington. Manager Albaugh says that when the new opera house is completed it will be the finest in the coun- try, and that it will be by far the safest from fire. But little woodwork enters into its construction, the cost of which will not exceed one-half of 1 per cent of the build- ing’s cost. The scaffolding in the. interior row gives it a chaotie appearance, but with an army of workmen night and day order and beauty will result within a week, and everything will be ready for the public on the 30th instant. Allen’s Grand Opera __House.—Coyne Fletcher, a lady who has made some repu- tation in the literary world, hos written a play, which she has called “The Bachelor's Reby.” It was first brought out in Mem- phis, Tenn., and scored 1 success. A favor- able verdict has also bean given in cther cities where it has been played. It will be presented for the first time in Washington text Monday night at Allen's Grand Opera House by a company ander the personal direction of Mr. McKee Rankin and headed by Mr. and Mrs, Sidney Drew. The story of the play deals solely with the social life of a far western army post. There are no Indians, no wars, no trampmng of horses, nor intimation of strive. An attendant sctmdal furnishes the comedy element, while charming love episoces intertwine tnemselves, which, with the military sur- roundings, form a backsrouad to the pic- ture pleasing in effect. Mr. ard Mrs. brew both have good parts, as -ln-< also Mr. Reckin, and the other chatacters are in ccmpetent hands.

Many Other Local Notes of Interest te Both Residents an@ Outsiders, Edward Parker, a white man about twen- ty-five years of age, son of a preacher, was charged by Arnie Patterson in the mayor's court this morning with seduction under promise of marriage. The woman is a widow abcut ten years older than Parker and lives on South Union street. In her testimony she claimed that Parker had promised to marry her after having accom- plished her ruin on the 15th of last June. She defies ary one to say aught against her character. Parker claimed that he had remunerated the woman on several occa- sions, and hed never promised to marry her and had never thought of such a thing. Neither side could produce any material witnesses, and his honor reserved his deci- sion until tonight. Family Troubles. George Chichester and his family and Mrs. Blanche Green and her family live next door to each other in the western section of this city, and they are continually indulging in little family scraps, which on several occa- sions have wound up in the mayor’s court. A few days ago Mrs. Green chargad Chiches- ter with ——— her, and he was fined by the mayor. y George charged Mrs. Green with atlewing' her three-year-old child to strike his two-year-old child. Quite a wordy war took place, and when quiet was finally restored his honor requested Mrs. Green to keep her children in the house and warned Chichester to do likewise. The case was then dismissed. Overcome by Heat. John Sutton, one of the men engaged in the work of laying the new gas mains, was overcome by the heat at the corner of Pat- rick and Queen streets yesterday afternoon and fell to the ground unconscious.

Notes. Mr. Thos. Hoy is confined to his home, on North Washington street, with an attack of hay fever. Dr. Laurence Stabler arrived here last night, after a delightful trip through Eng- land, France and Germany. In spite of the intense heat, the Opera House was crowded last night. The play was the “Limited Mail,” and was enjoyed, to judge from the frequent and prolonged applause. Tne Society for the Prevention of Cru- elty to Animals have adopted resolutions of respect to the memory of the late Miss Fawcett, who was the founder of the so- ciety in this city. Mr. Charles Crook of this city left yes- terday to accept a position with a large wholesale house in St. Louis. Officer Atkinson of the police force has recovered sufficiently from his recent ill- ness to be out. It is said that Mr. John Green, another member of the Alexandria bar, will an- nounce himself a candidate for nomina- tion for the house of delegates. He will make the fourth in the field. —. He Denies It. Policeman Michael Lynch, partner of Pri- vate Creagh of the sixth precinct, stated today to a Star reporter that there is no foundation for that part of the complaint made by Mrs. Laura Thompson of 410 New Jersey avenue gainst Creigh, in which she claims that Lynch went to her house with Creagh. He says he has been Creagh’s part- ner for four years and has never been at Mrs. Thompson's house. —— The Boston steamer Sagamoere had her bows crushed in by the Benim in a fog at the mouth of the Mersey.
