The Reasons Why: Handkerchiefs previously sold by | | makers and importers were at full prices from full stocks.

Maj. and Mrs. Rittenhouse presented their pretty young daughter yesterday afternoon at a tea which was not only attended by the army contingent, but largely by the resi- dential circk in society. The house was fragrant with the flowers sent the debutante and a rosy hue predominated over every- thing, with the lamps burning under pink | to annoy Mr. Adams, shades and the tapers on the tea table shaded also in pink. The hostess wore a becoming toilet of garnet silk, in strong contrast to the pretty white mull worn -by the debutante with its frills of lace and youthful adornments. A corsage bouquet of Violets and a hand bunch of white carna’ were the finishing touches. Mrs. Hunt, wife of Gen. Hunt, and Mrs. Robert Catlin pre- sided at the tea table, while the Misses Cat- lin, Miss Hichborn, Miss Bessie Crowe, Miss Edith Woodward, Miss Maud Woodward, Miss Jennie Hunt and Miss Hendricks of Leesburg a: ed in entertaining.

Senator Thurston of Nebraska has in- troduced a bill for the settlement of the Pacific railroads’ debts. It provides for the sale of the government interest in both the Union and Central railroads on July 1, 1896, to the highest bidder, but there shall be no sale unless the bid shall be at least 50 per cent of the government interest. The bill is very long and devoted mainly to the details of the transfer and manner of sale. —— Mr. Grow’s Historical Incident. In the debate in the House last Tuesday Mr. Galusha Grow of Pennsylvania made a speech, which was very brief, but ex- ceedingly pointed. It was during the dis- cussion of Mr. Barrett’s resolution to im- peach Ambassador Bayard. Mr. Grow said: “I rise simply to recall an historical inci- dent which I think illustrates the spirit that ought to control the action and the utterances of the representatives of the American people at any foreign port. At the outbreak of the war Mr. Charles Fran- cis Adams represented the United States at the court of St. James. On one occasion he was in conversation with some English gentlemen high in authority, whose sym- pathies were on the side of the confederacy. Up to that time success in the field had crowned the confederate arms, and one of these English gentlemen, thinking possibly said te him, ‘Mr. Adams, these confederat eem to fight well.” Mr. Adams’ reply was ‘Yes, sir, they are my countrymen. This remark of Mr. Grow’s created con- siderable applause at the time, and he has been frequently complimented by members since then upon making it. AMONG THE TOILERS District Assembly to Runa bine of Her dics, Opposiiion to the Anacostin Road- Other Matters Considered by Labor Bodies. As foreshadowed in The Star yesterday, District Assembly No. Knights of Labor, at its meeting last night determined to pur- chase six one-horse herdics and the neces- sary horses to compete with the Anacostia Railway Company and to have the improved service ready for operation by next Tues- day. The managers say they intend to pay the employes not less than $1.50 per day each and as much more as the receipts of the line will justify. General Secretary Hayes and Messrs. Mar- tin, Kenny and French of the executive board of the General Assembly, Knights of Labor, were present and evinced much in- terest in the railway question. The subject of organizing the employes in the cut-rate laundries was also discussed, and much opposition thereto was developed. The delegates from the Laundry Workers’ Assembly maintained that they had the right to make an effort to have every laun- dry in the District pay Its employes living wages, but that they could not fix a scale for their employers to charge their cus- temers. This view of the situation was finally adopted and full eked to act was given to the Laundry Wo * Assembiy. A special committee of nee Was appoint- ed to co-operate with a committee from the federation, appointed at its last meeting,to agitate the question of suffrage. There was some discussion in reference to certain bakeries, which, it 1s said, are cutting in the selling price of bread, but action thereon was deferred. Galvanized Iron Workers. The semi-annual election of officers for the Galvanized Iron and Cornice Workers’ Assembly was held last night, with the fol- lowing result: S. C. Childress, president; A. Silverman, vice president; William H. Whiting, recording secretary; John De- vaughan, financial secretary; J. H. Pratt, treasurer; H. Keifer, warden; Mason Mor- ris, conductor; Robert Taylor and J. H. Wilson, trustees. The Paper Hangers. The temi-annual meeting of the Paper Hangers’ Association was held last nignt. The election of officers for the ensuing term resulted in the choice of H. M.

Mardens, members of the board of manage- ment of the labor bureau. _— Lynched the Bloodhounds. From the Cincinnati Enquirer. Sergeant Perry Phipps of the Chattanoo- ga police force was until three weeks ago the possessor of three fine bloodhounds, one of which had become quite famous, having run down a number of criminals, but now his famous dog, Jud, is no more, and with this comes quite an interesting story. About two weeks ago Phipps took his dogs to Morgan county to run down @ negro named Hurd, who had killed a young white man. The dog was put on the trail and led one hundred men a chase of about two hundred miles, consuming two days and nights, but it seems the old dog deceived them, for while they were gone the negro was caught and lynched. This so infuri- ated the party which had followed the dog that they in some way got her away from Phipps and kept her until he had gone home, then lynched her. Phipps spent two days looking for her, and does not know yet what became of her. ——— Traly Thankful. From the New York Sun.
