STRID! selt-law3w GOSSIP OF THE CADETS Speculation is Rife Among the High School Boys About Appointments. Chances of the Various Candidates at the Central, Eastern, Western and Business Schools. The question most thought and spoken of by the members of the High Schools proba- bly is the appointment of cadet officers, which takes place about three weeks after the opening of school. There seems to be less doubt ‘about the highest position than any of the rest, as the colonel is invariably the fourth-year cadet who stands the best in studies. This year there is more uncertainty than ever as to whether the lieutenant colonel will be a memter of the Central School or the East- ern, but, as the Eastern has the right to claim this position, provided it has a com- petent officer to fill it, there is no reason why it should not receive the appointment. Moreover, there are ten or twelve fourth- year cadets at the Eastern, which will pre- vent the appointment of more than two or three third-year boys. As Julius G. Sommer of the Central has a ketter average by 3.3 than the next highest cadet, Wm. English, who has 93.2, and Theodore Graff of the Eastern has an average of 95.5, which is better than C. J. Brock’s by 1.5 points, there is all probability that these two will hold the tions of colonel and leutenant colonel, respectively. Major of the First. Harry Auer, it is said, is almost certain to be appointed rajor of the first battalion, while the rank of major of the second bat- talion ts conceded to C. J. Brock. The position of regimental adjutant may again be givén to Joseph W. Butts, who re- ceived it near thé clcse of last year. Wm. English may-be appointed regimental quar- termaster, or) if J. W. Butts becomes a cap- tain, he may be regimental adjutant, and W. H. Von Bayen or James Hottell may be given the position of quartermaster. There will most Ukely be three third- year boys te obtain the rank of captain, two of whom‘aré-the highest in their class. and the other ‘a very close third. It is thought to be Guilt certain that one of them will bé'Ghas. J. Fox. Frank C. Daniel is conceded the third appointment. Fither James Hottell or W. H. Von Bayer, members of. the’.fourth-year class, is ex. pected to r¢ vé@' the appointment for the fourth captaincy. mene tovBe Lieutenants. ) There are ynusaally many candidates for the nine subaltern positions at the Centra) this year. Those standing the best chances for first Heutenancles are H. C. Hoge; who has @ chance for the adjutancy; J. N. Hoover, J. B. Kelly, who may be the bat- talion adjutant or quartermaster; M. Cy Maxwell, H. 8. Wood and K. E. R. Steven- scn, with R. H. Platt and H. E. Olcott as second choices. It is the general opinion that the boys who will be picked out to be second lieutea- ants are among the following: R. H. Platt, H. E. Olcott, A. Howe, F. A. Hummel, C M. Billard and C, Mayer. As to the officers at the Eastern, the po- sition of captain of one company has long been conceded to Nelson Gapen. The sec- ond captaincy lies between Harry Smith and Harry Hurst, with the odds favoring the former. If any commissions are to be given to the third-year cadets, Mr. Spauld- ing and 8. Miller are most apt to be the successful ones. Supposing that the sub- alterns will be taken from the fourth-year class only, the positions of first Neutenants are conceded to H. Hurst and- Arthur Baum and those of the second to Fred Yount and James Williams. At the Business High School. The question of captains at the Business 1s practically settled, as Luther Steward and Newton Ferree are expected to re- ceive charge of the two companies. There is some doubt as to one of the Ge Heuten- ants, as W. C. Blanchard and P. C. Grimes are very close rivals, while G. L Taite is slated to be the other. It is thought by those in a good position to judge that W. H. Sommerville will hold the commission of adjutant for the second battalion. The boys thought to have the best chances for a second lieutenancy are James Kelly and V. G. Austin. The other second lieutenant will most likely be either P. C. Grimes or W. C. Blanchard, At the Western High, like the Business, there is not very much doubt as to who the officers will be, as there are only a few to be appointed at the former, and there are not many to pick from at the latter. Jesse H. Wilson, brother of the captain of '93 and ’94, will, it is presumed, attain the same position, while Durell Chaney and George Berry are the leaders for the honor of being the first and ses- ond lieutenants, respectively, of last year’s successful company. ‘A report is going the rounds of the East- ern High to the effect that Carl Brock has decided not to attend school this year. This causes more uncertainty. ‘The Business boys claim that Principal Davis has been tendered the appointment of major of the second battalion for their school, but there is little likelihood of his accepting, as his boys do not get enough experience, the course being for only two years. If the report at the Eastern is true, it is possible that the lieutenant colonel will be found at the Central in the person of W. R. English, and that Theodore Graff will be major at the Eastern. Preparing for Examination. Most of the third-year candidates who are to be examifed next week are diligently applying themselves to the “tactics,” as they are all éxtremely anxious for shoulder straps. Therf is @ great amount of rivalry and uneasiness among the prospective offi- cers,which will continue for the next couple of weeks, when the various aspirants will have been examified and the appointments made according to their general proficiency. One of the hopes that the advanced cadets most entertain is that there will be a limit to the size of boys entering the ranks. Yéar by year the number of small boys who en- ter the High Schools and join the regiment seems to increase, while their size seems to decrease. Often the lads ste too young and frail to shoulder a gun, and every year there are some who break down and faint during the hot summer days, as they cannot stand the exercise as well as the larger boys. It is hoped by some that applicants will be required to be five feet or five feet two inches in height. —e . A Story of Mystery. Do you know what a “Story of Mystery” is? It is a continued story of which all but the iast chapter is printed, and then guesses are made as to the solution, then the final installment is printed. Early in October a most mystery story, “When the War Was Ov will be started in The Star, and five hundred dollars will be given for the first absolutely correct solution. In case no guess 1s abso- lutely correct the amount will be divided among those nearest to a correct solution. The guesses will be confined to women read- ers. Fuller particulars later. interesting elaborate feast, VERY DELIGHTFUL But, Like Most Things of the Sort, Rather Uncommon, FACULTY OF GIVING LITTLE DINNERS About the Bill of Fare and the Number of Guests. SOME ATTRACTIVE DISHES Written Exclusively for The Evening Star. T HAS BEEN SAID that the superiority of French dinners, or at least their distinc- tion, is due to “les petits soins.” In the ability to take pains lies the real secret of any success in life, and in the faithful care given to little things lies, unques- tionably, the succ2ss of “little dinners.” ee The woman aiming to be a powerful element in the social or diplomatic world will find that her most trusty weapon is a reputation and faculty for giving these delightful entertainments; but they must have her personal attention, for no caterer can furnish the grace of “les petits soins.” A game dinner is a feast that richly ap- peals to men. If your publisher hesitates over your latest manuscript, 'f your Senator is reluctant to throw his influence on the side of your ruther forlorn claim, bid those doubting sculs to a game dinner, and your cause will be in a fair way to triumph. With the soup serve banaras, to be eaten raw, with salt and pepper. Let venison fol- low immediately after the soup; that to be succeeded by an iced, but not frozen, punch, the contents so discreetly poised that in it there will be found “no tomorrow”—the highest proof of skill a mixer of punch can show. By the way, toast should always be served with punch. Then let the small birds appear in sweet little beds cf peas; there is no bird or ani- mal that does not feel honored by the alli- ance of green peas. The substantial part of the dinner must be concluded with a parade of ducks, their delftiousness en- hanced by the mellow richness of Burgundy. - Neither Long Nor Grand. For table decoration the eyes may rest, from the first scene to the last, on the goldenish beauty of pines, but since their fragrance is always so much more de- licious than their taste, it would be a pity to afford the disappointment of eating them. Of course, there must be the chasse-cafe, and for this the liqueurs should be Maraschino and Curacoa—never Ani- sette or Creme de Menthe. The present dinner a Ia mode Is a sensi- ble, charming repast, quite within the reach of any bright woman proudly in- terested in her own proper little kingdom, for many old stumbling blocks of elab- orate preparation have been removed, and that it shall be neither too long nor too grand ts the effort of the highest fashion. The Prince of Wales has given his ideas tpon the length of a dinner in a manner not at all vague, and his loyal entertain- ers are very careful that he shall not be compelled to dawdle over a banquet longer than an hour at the outside, and a lmit otiforty rive minutes pleases him better still. Whoever wishes to give successful din- ners should not attempt much, but she should attempt often. If the servants are accustomed to hospitality, if the dinner party is simply the family dinner, “in large type,” there will be no confusion. Moreover, the hostess will not be so keenly on the watch for domestic blunders or so excited over the fate of some unusual dish that she will be unable to keep the con- versation rebounding, sparkling and squib- lke, from edge to edge of the small dining circle. In asking friends to dinner, she should re- member that their happiness will not con- sist In seeing her attempt to entertain on a scale quite beyond her means. She is re- sponsible for their comfort and pleasure while under her roof, and they can have little of either if she is so anxiously appre- hensive about her household arrangements as to be utterly helpless conversationally. Selecting the Guests. A small, simple dinner well within the ability of the cook, served to a congenial ccmpany, will score a triumph when the lorg-drawn-out menu of an expensively designed merely to clear off outstanding social claims, will be .an affair to be endured rather than enjoyed. In fact, the superfluity which, in the days when Thackeray turned his discerning ile upon “elegant gluttony,” was an im- pertant feature of social compliments, has passed into the outer region of “bad form.” Auy tendency toward prodigality in a menu must now be severely shunned. The first consideration in arranging a din- ner should be an effective selection of guests, a combination that shall be con- versationally electric. The ambitious host- ess will discover that the ones to be avoid- ed will come up for review far more fre- quently—the world of society is paved with them—than desirable ones. She should avoid the well-informed person; that 1s, if he fs fond of displaying his information, for he is sure to monopolize the conversation; the men of anecdote and travel, for they, too, are a tedious sort; the stiff, fromal pecple should be left cut’ also, because they will cast a gloom over the brightest hospi- tality—human refrigerators and hopelessly moral flat irons freeze all the bubble and crush all the lightness of any dinner. Propes Number to Invite. There can never be a universal rule for the desirable number of guests at a dinner. A famous French criterion, regardless of the muses and graces that have influenced another noied opinion, has declared au- thoritatively that six should not be ex- ceeded. Another asserts that there should be eight guests—six talkers and two listen- ers. Still another gastronomic savant, more elastic in his ideas, imposes but this limit upon the hostess—that she shall not put more people at her table than Providence and the cabinet maker intended should sit at it. Assuredly, those of us that have suf- fered the torture of being as tightly packed at a dinner table as the boxed sardines of the hors-d’ceuvre, simply because the host- ess wished to rid herself of all the obliga- tions possible with the one fell effort, will warmly approve of this opinion. No one has ever given sounder dinner advice than Brillat-Savarin. He does not harp upon the number of guests as the greatest ingredient of success, but he.draws their desirable characteristics with unswerving distinction. “Dinner party men,” he wrote, “should be intellectual without pretension, the women amlable without coquetry.” A few dinner suggestions may be of ser- vice to the hostess of the coming winter. ‘The paper frills that were once consider- ed an ornemental finish around the long points of chops or hams are quite out of favor. They were a memorial of the olden times, prior to the introduction of the carving fork, when joints were dressed for the dainty lady carver, who had to grasp a roast chicken or a leg of mutton with the hand while cutting it. They are no longer useful and are rarely seen on fashionable tables. Floral decoration will not end its mission with the table, but will extend to the food. Flowers will serve as a garnish for soups, two or three blossoms floating on the sur- face in rivalry to the croutons; the top of the vol-au-vent will be scattered with rose leaves; and, following the recent example of the German emperor, who has set the fashion for the court of Berlin, we shall throw violet petals into the champagne. About Fruit Soups, Another innovation, though of less poetic attraction, will be fruit soups made of prunes, apples, raisins—the combination can be varied—simmered in water, with French sago, until the sago is invisible and the soup of a broth consistency. The cafe noir will be served in long, narrow glass tum- blers, accompanied with a tiny decanter of brandted cream. The possibilities of the potato will receive special attention. While there is no vege- table more satisfactory than a well boiled Potato, it seems almost impossible to per- form that culinary feat, and any novel ways of cooksne the old gaged which will aaa ble changes in the menu and still be withh within the intelligence of the aver- age cook, will be.eagerly welcomed. The following recipes will be found quite sim- ple to prepare and deliciously satisfactory: Turin potatoes—Put in a pan two table- spoonfuls of chopped suet and the are measure of butter. In this fry brown chopped onion and one tablespoonful ot chopped herbs. Add eight potatoes, slightly boiled and cut in thick slices, and fry them for a few minutes. Pour over a teacupful of stock and the same amount of tomato sauce, and stew all together for five minutes. When ready to. serve, sprinkle with grated cheese. Milan potatoes—Scoop out the centers from some peeled potatoes, and fill them with a mixture made as follows: Four hard-boiled eggs, half a pound of cooked chicken, a tablespoonful of parsley, an onion, all minced fine and seasoned with salt and pepper. Mix well with two beaten eggs, brush over with the white of an egg, cover with grated cheese and bread crumbs, bake them brown and serve with fried parsley. Parmesan potatoes are eaten with great- est appreciation when served with roast goose or domestic ducks. For these cut baked potatoes into slices, place them in layers? in a baking dish, sprinkle each layer thickly with grated Parmesan cheese, pour over them melted butter, and heat them in a slow oven. Send them to table garnished with fried sage. For a fish course Venetian potatoes can- not be excelled. Boil a dozen new potatoes with a small bunch of celery, a spray of mint, the rind of a lemon, and salt to taste. When boiled, remove the celery, mint and lemon rind, cut the potatoes into quarters, and pour over them the follow- ing sauce: Two ounces of butter rolled in flour, yolks of two eggs beaten with a little milk, the grated peel of half a lemon and a pinch of salt. Stir over a slow fire until the sauce is thick. _ THE McCAFFERY FORTUNE Testimony Now Being Taken to Establish Heirship. Rom: mtic Story of a Thrifty Irish Im- migrant—Several Marriages and Various Wanderings. The celebrated and more or less romantic case of John McCaffery has come up on Proceedings in Washington and Baltimore during the past few days. Testimony is being taken to establish the family history and the heirship of the many children of the several marriages. McCaffery was born in Ireland in 1808, and there married, before he was twenty, Mary Dawson, a girl fifteen years old. Three children— William, Nancy and James—were born in Ireland, before McCaffery, when about thirty years old, came to America, leaving his family behind him. He found work as « contractor on the Erte canal, and sent for his family, who, witn the exception of the daughter Nancy, lived with him for several years at Elmira and Corning, N. Y. James died, and a second son was torn, also named Jantes, and likewise died William became lame by the kick of a horse, and for several years was a boat- man on the Erie canal and then suddenly disappeared. It has been established that he was drowned in a storm in 1862 near the mouth of the Potomac, while sailing from Washington to Philadelphia. The elder McCaffery prospered in busi- ness, built several canal boats and also took contracts on the Erie railroad. Four more children were born while the family were in New York, two of whom died at Elmira. In 1848 the entire family made a journey to New York city on one of the canal boats. There, for some reason, a quarrel arose, and Mrs. McCaffery went to a small town near Lake Seneca, in Naw York, and from that time on little or rothing was heard of her until six months after McCaffery’s death in Chicago, in June, 1894, when she appeared and claimed an interest in his property. McCaffery’s First Disappearance. McCaffery was lost sight of after the separation, but it is now supposed that he went to boating in the Dismal Swamp canal, where, as in New York, he again prespered by merchandising, as well as commerce. With his thrift he took another wife, a woman named Douglass, born in England, by whom he had severa! children, one of whom was named Marian and another Henry. A few years later he es- tablished this family and the children of his first marriage in a small, rough dwell- ing on the banks of the Chesapeake ang Ohio canal near Alexandria. McCaffery is remembered by old boatmen as going up and down the Chesapeake and Ohio canal be- tween Alexandria and Cumberland@n the early fifties, trading and transporting rro- duce and manifesting in every way sub- stantial thrift and excellent business sense. Some time in the winter of 1851 or 1852, ‘Mrs. McCaffery No. 2 was burned to death by the explosion of an oil lamp, and the little girl Marian received severe burns, the scars of which, fortunately for her, she bears to this day, and by which she has been able to establish her right to a share in the estate. The house was also burned by this casualty, and there followed a dispersion of the family for a time. The children by the first wife were sent to school in Alexandria and Washington, and Marian and Henry were taken to Han- ecck, Md., and sent to school, living, mean- time, in two or three families whose testi- mcny has been obtained. The boy Henry, it has been found, died while a child. Mar- fan became the wife of John Hooper, and is now living in Baltimore. Georgetown Heirs. The daughter Sarah married in George- town a man named George Seaman. She died, leaving two sons, John and James, both of whom are still living in George- tewn. There was also a daughter, who is now Mrs. Anna Whelan of Baltimore. Su- san became Mrs. Brown Austin, and lives at McKeesport, Pa. Margaret married a man named Shipley, and lives at Hagers- town, Md. The daughter Nancy, who had been left in Irejand at the time of the first emigration, »because she was at that time quite sick, lived for a number of years in Philadelphia, and died there, leaving no children. It was not long after the death of the second Mrs. McCaffery at Alexan- dria that McCaffery married again, this time selecting Nancy Ganoe of Hancock. She died not long afterward childless, A Second Disappearance. McCaffery disappeared soon after the Potomac flood of 1852, and was never heard of again by his children until after his Geath. He wandered about over the coun- try, it seems, finally settling in Chicago, where his inborn thrift and quick wit again brought him success, and ke amassed a fortune estimated to be somewhat in excess of half a million dollars. Much of this is in valuable real estate, constantly enhanc- ing. Some years ago he made a journey to Washington, and visited a number of towns in the region where he thought he might find his children and grandchildren, but without success. In Ghicago he became prominent, was a director in the Illinois ‘Trust and Savings Bank, and managed iis affairs with excellent discretion, being rec- ognized among the business men of the city as a man of sound judgment and pregres- sive ideas. He left a will, in which he named his different sets of childten as bereficiaries, and made a complete and careful disposition of his estate. Most of the heirs have been hunted up and their claims practically established. —— Manchus and Hatred. From the Spectator. _ The statesmen of Peking, secretly irri- tated to madness by their defeat at the hands of “the pigmy people,” who, likg themselves, are Mongolians, yet have sur- rendered their minds to the west, have de- cided that, as between the two ambitious powers, they choose Russia as the protect ing and guiding friend. The Russian am- bassador, not the Japanese, will be tha ruling “influence” in Peking, and if China remodels herself, which is doubtful, it will be under Russian officers, Russian finan- ciers, and Russian engineers. Hatred counts for a great deal in human affairs, and it certainly looks as if the Manchus, outraged in their deep-seated pride by the Japanese victories, had sought aid fiom a house which they regard as equal, against a house which for centuries they have considered and treated as in- ferior. That is an astonishing change, and one which may profoundly affect the future both of Great Britain and Japan. EPWORTH CHURCH The New Structure Moving oa To- ward Completion. WILL BE A HANDSOME AFFAIR The Basement Rooms Nearly Ready for Occupancy. PLAN OF THE BUILDING The basement of the new Epworth Meth- odist Episcopal Church South, Rev. John O. Knott, pastor, corner of 7th and A streets northeast, is almost ready for occupancy— it cam be made entirely so in the course of a few days—and the event will be cele- brated in the becoming manner that will mark an era in the history of this remark- ably successful and prosperous congrega- tion. On this occasion it is hoped to have Present Bishop Galloway of the M. E. Church South, who has recently returned from a journey round the world; but if he is not able to be there, there will be other Prominent ministers in attendance, whose addresses will be well worth listening to. Preliminary to the moving into the new church tomorrow there will be at Met ropolitan Baptist Chapel, corner of 6th and A northeast, where the Epworth con- "gregaticn has worshiped since their old home was deinolished a few months ago to make way fcr the new church, a rallying day. In the morning at 11 o'clock there will be preaching, and the. church roll will then be called; in the afternoon at 3:30 the call of the roll of the Sunday school will Epworth M. E. Church, South. be meade, and at 7 p.m. the Epworth League roll will be called. The exercises at each will, it is expected, be very interesting, and the pestur of the church has sent a postal card to each person in any way interested, asking them to be present and answer to their name. The torner stone of the Epworth M. E. fhurech South, which is a credit to.the eastern section of the city, was laid during the latter part of June, and since then the work upon the constructicn has been pros- ecuted with all possible vigor. The Building. The structure is almost square, being 52 by 56 feet, and it is situated in a delight- ful neighborhood, being at the corner of 7th and A streets northeast. The material used for the walls is selected brick, which has been adorned with brown stone trim- mings and decorated stone at the doors. The style of architecture is a combination of Gothic and Romanesque, the hand- ‘some stained and jeweled glass win- dows being treated in the latter style. One of these windows is intended as a memorial to Rev. 8S. W. Haddaway, the founder of the church, and another a me- morial to Rev. Samuel Rodgers, D. D., who was presiding elder when the church was first opened. The others will be conse- crated to the memory of departed relatives or friends by various persons, but the donors do not wish to state publicly whom they desire to honor by their gifts. There are three entrances to the audito- rium, and there are three towers, the main tower being 100 feet high, with two subor- dinate towers, which extend to a short dis- tance above the slate roof, and all are peace of highly decorated brick worl The Interior. The interior of the church presents sev- eral new features. The principal of these is a dome in the center of the ceiling, from which will depend a chandelier, while the dome will also be arranged so as to aid in ventilating the church. The furniture for the audience and the pulpit, with the pul- pit itself, will be oak, the pews being of the latest pattern, and, it is believed, are unsurpassable fur comfort. A crescent- shaped gallery extends around the buil4- ing. The seating capacity of the main auditorivm is about 730. The heating and ventilating apparatus has been modeled in some particulars after that in the Capitol. Heat in the cool weather will be furnished by a team boiler through coils and distributed by means of a fan to all parts of the building. The arrangements are such that as fast as the warm air shall have performed the function assigned to it, it will be forced out of the building and a supply of fresh air introduced to take the place of that ejected. In the warm weather, cool air will be introduced and expelled in the same manner. The fan referred to will be ope- rated by a gas engine, so that it will have no dependence upon the boiler. ie basement is divided into study, H- brary, infant class rcom, Epworth League parlor and main room. All these can be thrown into one large room. A private stairway leads from the study to the pul- pit and a stairway through the main tower conducts persons from the basement to the auditorium, The height of the basement ceiling ts twelve feet and of the main auditorium twenty-six feet. The cost of the edifice will be about $21,000. The building committee is composed of Revs. J. O. Knott, chairman, and J. W. Boteler, Messrs. W. F. Hummer, H Bowman, treasurer, and J. H. Bell. Thi builder was Mr. L. B. Bursey, formerly of Berryville, Va., and the architect Mr. B. Wolts. ——._—_ It Was Whist in Truth.
