AFFAIRS IN ALEXANDRIA Trying Hard to Untangle the Democratic Comp!ication. The Convention Next Monday — Char- ters Granted and Other Loc: Noten of Interest. At a meeting of the city and county democratic committee last night there were present Messrs. Sweeney, chairman; Cook, Price, Penn, Carter, Dobie, Wilkins of the city and Messrs. Sissen, Douglas and Febre of the county. Chairman Sweeney present- ed the telegrams and correspondence be- tween Chairman Ellyson of the state demo- cratic committee in regard to the present state of affairs in this city, The situation was then thoroughly discussed by nearly all of the members, and upon the motion of Mr. Carter it was decided to send one of the committee to Richmond to confer with Mr. Ellyson, and, if possible, to bring a written statement from him bearing upon what the committee has already done. Mr. Gardner L. Boothe was appointed by the chair to go as a representative of the whole committee. Mr. Boothe left this morning at 4:30 o'clock. The committee then adjourned vrtil 10 o'clock Monday morning, when Mr. Bocthe will make his report. What action will be taken upon Mr. Boothe's report is rot known, but it is reported that the com- mittee may rescind its action in calling the convention for Monday, and order a new primary, with the ruling that the can- d'date receiving the largest number of votes be declared the nominee of the party. Messrs. May, Bendheim and Lipscomb have appointed their delegates for the con- vention Monday, and say that they pro- pcse to be there and make a nomination. Another Charter. Judge J. K. M. Norton of the corporation court has granted a charter of incorpora- tion to the National Loan and Endowment Association, a Washington corporation, which proposes to sell stock that is to be paid for in monthly installments, and to loan money on such stock. The capital stock of the company is fixed at not less than $10,000 nor more than $50,000, divided into shares of $20 each. The officers are Henry C. Terrell, president; Lewis W. John- son, vice president; A. H. Terrell, secretary c. K. Johnson, treasurer, and Samuel Ri ley, assistant treasurer. Mr. J.T. Callahan is named as the local’agent. The officers, with the exception of the secretary, who is from Richmond, are all Washingtonians. Foot Ball Season Opens. The Episcopal High School will open the foot ball season this afternoon in this vicin- ity with the eleven from Kendal! Green In- stitute of Washington. The High School eleven has been hard at work training since the school opened, and a hard-fought game may be expected. There is a movement on foot ‘to reorganize the eleven in this city. The managers of the New Alexandria Com- pany have offered the use of the grounds used by the Old Dominion base ball club for the games, and it is hoped that the eleven will be successful, and that they will arrange for a good many games during the coming season. Officers Elected. The Young People’s Union of the Second Presbyterian Church met in the lecture room of the church last night and elected the following officers for the ensuing year: Wm. H. Melchior, president; Wm. Camp- bell, vice president; Isaac B. Field, sec- retary; A. H. Thompson, treasurer; A. M. Wible, religious committee; Miss J. Heis- ley, membership committee; Mrs. A. Wood- ward, social committee, and P. J. Dempsey, musical committee. This union has been most successful in past years in its work, and we hope that it will continue in the good work. Noten. A coal cart belonging to Mr. D. W. Aitch- eson was struck by an electric car near the corner of King and Lee streeis yester- day and one of the wheels was smashed. The condition of little May Pullman, who fell from the porch of the residence of her grandfather, Capt. J. T. Webster, on Thursday, is improved, and she is now sald to be out of danger. Mr. Jas. R. Caton, Mr. Harry Hantzman and Rev. Mr. Benson attended the Sunday school convention of the M. P. Church in Washington yesterday. The revival services in the First Baptist Church last night were Very interesting and were largely attended. Rev. Mr. But- ler conducted the services. ‘Tramps are again greatly annoying the farmers of this section. Last night the lights of fully twenty campfires could be seen along the line of railroad between this city and Washingto: Police Officer W Ferguson yesterday received a telegram announcing the death of his brother in Baltimore. Maj. E. H. Janney and his daughter, Miss Bessie, who have been on an extended tour through Europe, have returned to their home near this city. : Father J. J. Bowler, pastor of St. Mar: Catholic Church, is still confined to residence on Duke street by sickness. Mr. Charles Duffy, who nas been confined to his home for some time by sickness, is reported to be in a critical condition. The transfer barge of the Baltimore and Onto railroad that is used in conveying cars across the river left here last right for Baltimore, where it will be thoroughly overhauled and repairei. A new barge is expected here tomorrow. A force of workmen are now engaged in making walks in the new Douglass cem- etery for colored people. A monument will be erected in the center of this cemetery to the memory cf the late Fred. Douglass. Mayor Thompson had only one case be- fure him this morning for trial, that of Daniel Freeman, charged with disorderly conduct; fined $i2 or ninety days on the gang. Mr. John Fisher and daughter of York are visiting relatives in this city. —__—>___ A Gravity Reiinond. There is a gravity ratlroad now doing business in the western part of the city which promises to be-very successful. It is two miles long, from ‘Arlington to the Aqueduct bridge, and the distance is cov- ered in a very few minutes. The fare is five cents for the trip, and beautiful views of Arlington, Fort Myer and Washington are obtained. 5 = 2 John O’Neil's Estate. A bill tn equity has been filed by Attor- ney H. T.

THE SOCIAL WORLD The Wheel is Now the Social Factor of the Day. BABY MARIAN AND HER MOTHER Gossip of People of Whom Every One Has Heard. SOME OF THE FALL BRIDES If it were not for the wheel Washington would be deadly dull for that part of so- ciety which, for one reason or another, prefers to spend the autumn here. A stroll through the West End not only shows that three-fourths of the fashionables have not turned their faces this way yet, but also proves that the majority of the other quar- ter simply live on the wheel and wonder, in the name of all that is useful, how they ever managed to get along without some such diversion all their lives. Some so- ciety youngsters who were so bruised and battered after a half dozen tumbles that they began to think learning to ride was not such tremendous fun after all, were inspired with renewed courage the other day, when Mrs. Stewart announced her determination to take up~riding again. Mrs. Stewart has suffered greatly from several accidents, but they have not dimin- ished her courage and the lesson has not been lost on more timid young people of her acquaintance. Mrs. Carlisle, wife of the Secretary of the Treasury, began, a few days ago, to learn to ride, and while her first lesson and first fall were almost simultaneous events, she is persevering and is determined to conquer the silent steed in just as short a time as possible. Her instructors say she is an apt pupil. Socially nothing is happening nor will tll the latter part of the month, when some festivities surrounding several wed- dings ere expected to occur. The single excepticn in a home entertainment was the tea on Thursday afternoon at Mrs. Lo- gan’s home, Calumet Place. It brought to- gether the present social strength of the capital. Gen. Miles, who is the lien of the moment, certainly can find no fault with the success of his first social appearance, nor can any one eise. Mrs. Logan's parties are eminently sociable gatherings, and this was particularly so, only tinged by the re- gret that her lovely home is about to be closed for six months, while she travels for that length of time in southern Europe and the Holy Land. As a starter to the social doings of the early season, the tea was a great success. This impulse was quickene and strength- ened by the ovation tendered Gen. Miles by the Army and Navy Club on Thursday right. It was a biz cvent, if only a stag party, but it was only the firs: of the many which will welcome the general and his family to the capital. Mrs. Miles is not expected back from New York, where she is superintending the removal of her house- hold gcds to this city, for ten days er so, but as their home, corner of 20th and G streets, is being made ready for them, their domestic affairs will soon be in smooth run- ning order. Mrs. Cleveland and her baby girls are go- ing to enjoy another country outing, as after the return of the presidential party from Atlanta the White House family will go out to Woodley and remain there until Congress meets. The country around the suburban home of the President is robed in glowing colors just at present, and Mrs. Cleveland has such a fondness for the place that she much prefers it to living in town. The children spent nearly all the hours of sunshine in the White House grounds since they came back, and with the strangers they met were most friendly and chatty. Ruth and Baby Marian look like the:r mother, and Esther, who has gone into his- tory as the White House baby, resembles the Cleveland side of the family. She has so many of the President's ways and little tricks of manner, and oO energetic and anxious to wait on everybody, that the President calls her his little “working wo- man. Both the girls make great progres: with German, and are able to repeat many songs and verscs and scripiural passages They are sturdy, strong children, and are more plainly dressed, possibly, than any other two girls in the neighborhood of the Executive Mansion. Excepting some informal visiting and an occasional guest at luncheon and dinner, Mrs. Cleveland, like many less distin- guished hostesses, will enjoy the quiet and calm of the autumnal season, and will make no effort to show herself to the gay world of society or officialdom till the real winter sets in. It is a very pretty sight, and an illustration of womanly as well as republican simplicity, to see Mrs. Cleveland driving around these fine days in a phae- ton, with Baby Marian cuddled up in her arms, and unattended by either nurses or servants, except the coachman. The day when Presidents and wives drove out be- hind four horses in full state and panoply has passed. President and Mrs. Cleveland use the phaeton more frequently than any other carriage in their stable, and very seldom have even a footman with them. The good people of Atlanta will regret that Mrs. Cleveland will not be with the Presi- dent next week at the exposition, but the baby’s claims to her mother’s almost undi- vided attention are paramount. The two new families in the cabinet circle will start a fresh spell of activity in that directicn. It would be hard to find a lady better fitted to adorn her position than Mrs. liarmon, wife of the Attorney General. The Harmons have taken a_ delight- fully situated house on K street, own- ed, but never occupied, by Mrs. Fred May of California. It is well furnished and has a sunny outlook over Franklin Park. Mrs. Harmon is not overfond of drawing room effects, and when a visitor drops in the hostess leads the way to the little library adjoining, where, both in the cavernous depths of big arm chairs, drawn up near the log fire on the hearth, conversation is likely to take on a friendliness, which Mr: Harmon thinks would hardly be possible in an empire drawing room. Her acquaintances here a few weeks ago were very limited, but that will not last long. She had not met Mrs. Cleveland until this week, and has yet met but a few of the cabinet ladies, owing to the long distances separating them since the appointment of the Attorney General. The Harmon family circle includes three daugh- ters. The eldest, who is only twenty-tw is the wife of Mr. Edmund Wright of Phil- adelphia, and will be here for a visit the coming winter. She is the proud mother of the only boy in the family, the Attorney General's first grandson, who is now about seven months old. Miss Harmon, who is a very prepossessing young lady, is almost a debutante, as last winter she went out to parties for the first time in Cincinnati. Miss Margery Harmon, the youngest member of the family, is in school here. The family will undoubtedly entertain throighout the winter considerably. If there is one structure which Mrs. Harmon likes better than another in this eity it 4 the Washington monument. She says fascinates. her completely, and she has made it a study while taking her afternoon drives to look out for points where it was not possible to get a glimpse of it. So far she has not found many. Mrs. Wilson, wife of the Postmaster Gen- eral, has lived in Washington during her husband's zongressional terms, but she is almost a stranger to the great body of ro- ciety folks. Her health has never been vigorous enough to permit her to do much outside of her own household, even if her tastes had not been that way. She does not care for the gay doings of the great world, as she is devoted to reading and do- mestic life. The Postmaster General bought a house or Q street last summer, and Mrs. Wilson, since her return from their sum- mer home at Charlestown, has been occu- pied with getting it in order for occupancy. Miss Wilson will be an invaluable assistant to her mother, and will virtually take her place. Both ladies, it is expected, will ac- company the presidential party down to Allanta next week. Nearly all the cabinet families are now in town. Mrs. Olney and ner daughter, Mrs. Minot, arrived on Thursday night. As pre- viously intimated in these columns, Mrs. Hoke Smith will not leave her Georgia home until after the visit of the President and cabinet, for whose pleasure and >om- fort the Secretary of the Interior will uat- urally feel largely responsible in his own city. Mrs. Smith will entertain the party very handsomely. Mrs. Leland Stanford has been here since Mencéay, and may rema‘n another week, for there are few people who come to this city who have her enthusiastic admiration for it She loves to mark its progress not only in the extension of its suburbs, but also in the constantly improving character of every section. While here primarily for business. her recreation consists in the long drives that have been so pleasant the past week. Mrs. Stanford, in her ability to conduct so satisfactorily not only this suit, but also the management of a vast fortune, makes a splendid example of a wife who was not enly thoroughly conversant with her hus- band’s affairs in almost every detail, but also of one who so absolutely shared his confidence that the act of either meant their joint opinion. With the gigantic op- erations in railroading, and, indeed, every- thing with which the Stanford name was connected, Mrs. Stanford was so familiar with the smallest detail that hundreds of times since the death of her husband she has been able to give at once his reasons and opinions on any point. This confidence which was reposed in her so naturelly has been of immense benefit, since the entire burden has rested or her own shoulders. Her personal sacrifices she counts as noth- ing, if she will be able soon to see the end of the litigation. Should the Supreme Court decision be un- favorable she will be obliged to close the Stanford University and will never live in its vicinity again, as the destruction of that monument to son and husband would be more than she could witness. Notw standing all the worries, she feels recom- pensed in the knowledge that if all goes well ultimately, what has been done toward the establishment of the university is ob sure lines and exactly as its founder would have wished. She is so absolutely absorbed in this great benefaction to the vouth of California that it has made her scrupulo"s of the loss of every day or hour not spent in something to forward its progress. Dur- ing the past summer she has arranged with her own hands the Stanford memorial room in the museum of the university. With the possible exception of crowned heads there probably never was a couple who received more presents. All the trophies, cups, &c.. won by the Stanford stables and the hun- dreds of gifts exchanged by Mr. and Mrs. Stanford in their long married life make other additions of wonderfully rare and beautiful things, so that the museum: is al- ready richer in this one respect alone than those founded for hundreds of years. Some of the most interesting of California mis- sion relics have also been presented to Mrs. Stanford and enrich this collection. The fall weddir-gs, or early winter ones, for that matter, are not especially notable, in number at least, and whet will take place seem likely to be rather quietly ar- ranged. From an international standpoint the bells will ring out first the marriage of Miss Jeannette Payson, daughter of Chas. Payson, and Mr. Raymond Le Ghait, sun of the Belgian minister, who has spent several years here with kis father, and is considered very good-looking and decidedly agreeable. Miss Payson has lived most of her life abroad, and will accompany her husband to foreign parts shortly after their marriage. The yson family is going abroad also. The wedding day is set for October 28, and will take place at the Pay- son residence. Two or three other nuptial events for which the capital supplies the mep will be those of the Marquis de Cham- brun and Miss Nichols, daughter of Mi Bellamy Storer of Cinc:nnati, where the event will occur, and Mr. George Fraser and Miss Tutt of St. Louis, who are, how- ever, coming here to live, and whose wed- ding day is set for December 5, and one or two foreign matches, all arranged by the high principals, but only biding the time to overcome some parental objectioas, which now form insurmountable obstacles. The wheel is responsible for more revo- lutions than the tire makes. A chaperon seems to be one of the hitherto necessities ot fashicnable life who can be dispensed with and Dame Grundy still kept pacified. A young lady and a man can go for a ride on their wheels unaccompanied, but if the same young people were seen driving to- gether without a third person it would be considered either a formal announcement of their engagement or frightful ignorance of what is considered good form. And yet every one knows that the cpportunities for long rests and flirtations, if such ro- mantic pastimes are still current diver- sions, are more numerous wheeling than er would be possible riding or driving. No use saying that chaperons can’t ride. Why, the schools are full of gray-haired pupt who learn as @uickly as children. But with a Supreme Court justice pedaling in one direction and a cabinet lady learning to do the same, the pace is too rapid to Nother any longer with wornout ideas, 2nd it is likely the chaperon and her duties il soon be lost arts. Mrs. Grant is a model of housewifely enthusiasm over her new home, in which e and Mrs Sartoris and family expect to he happily domiciled within a short time. She is not only well pleased with her pur- chase, but delighted to have a home of her own again, and best of all, in Washington. Mrs, Audenried is back at her Vermont avenue home in excellent health, after a restful summer at Deer Park. Mr. and Mrs. John R. McLean, whose one handsome young son, Edward, is naturally the apple of their eye, believe in letting him fellow the bent of his inclinations as to his amusements and employment of his idle hours outside the school room.
