A large party of New Yorkers have come on for the event. The entire first floor of the Normandie will be in use. Guests will enter by the I street door and depart by the 15th street en- trance. The reception will be held in the large dining room. The parlors at the other end of the house have been hand- somely decorated with plants and electric light effects. Gen. ard Mrs. Miles were given a royal welcome yesterday by the olficers and la- dies of Washington barracks. The gym- nasium was the scene of a brilliant recep- tion from 4 to 7, and every army and navy family in the District was represented in the throng of guests. Every inch of wall space was covered with flags and bunting, and palms and trailing vines added a fes- tive touch. The Third Artillery Band played throughout the reception, and a col- lation, with all the necessary liquid accom- pariments,was served in the midst of the most attractive surroundings on -the plat- form at the far end of the hall. Capt. Closson stood with Gen. and Mrs. Miles, to introduce the guests, and Mrs. Closson stood with Miss Miles at a little distance. As everybody knew everybody else, the re- ception was of the most sociable character. The officers at the barracks looked after the comfort and pleasure of their guests in every particular. Gen. Miles and all the officers wore their full dress uniform. Mrs. Miles, who has such cordial and pleasant manners, looked very handsome in a gown of biack satin, with a finish of mauve satin, Miss Miles wore an effective cos- tume of gray crepon and a Rubens hat in black velvet and plumes. Col. and Mrs. Francis Colton welcomed hundreds of their friends yesterday to their spacious home on Connecticut avenue. The drawing rooms and library, which are so rich in rare and beautiful works of art. were thronged from 4 to 7 with all the pleasant people one remembers quickest when friends are mentioned. Mrs. Colton received in a dainty toilet of light yellow -recade, and was assisted by Mrs. Sargent, Mrs. Gilmore, Mrs. John M. Wilson, Mrs. McComas and Mrs. Greely. Col. Coltcn held court in the library, and Miss Clark and” the Misses Colton, the three young members of the household, were his able assistants. In the dining room Miss Woller and Mrs, Willard F. Warner did the honors of the table. To enumerate the guests would be but to men- tion hundreds whose movements are fol- lowed with interest in official and resident circles. Mrs. Grant and Mrs. Sartoris gave a housewarming reception yesterday in their newly purchased home on Massachuégetts evenue. On the first floor, where a gor- geous setting of poinsetta blooms and palms gave a holiday touch, a collation was served in the breakfast room. Mrs. Grant and Mrs. Sartoris met their guests in the drawings.room, which was decked with ferrs and orange trees in bloom. The | many rare ornaments attracted Attention, and perhaps non2 more so than a malachite table, around which there was always some admirers.

Foster, Mrs. Yanx, Senater and Mrs. Elkins, Senator and Mrs. Stewart, Justice and Mrs. Gray, Miss Ida Thompson, Gen. and Mrs. Sternberg, As- sistaat Postmaster General Jones, Judge and Mrs. Bancroft Davis, Justice and Mrs. Brown, Miss Pitts, Mrs. Audenried, Mrs. Hazen, Mrs. Bugher, Justice and Mrs. Har- lan, Mrs. McKay, Mr. and Mrs. Hinckley, Mr. Kasson, Mr. William Acklan and Col.

A. Arias, actual minister of the interior of Honduras, and Dr. and Mrs. Guzman.

The centerpiece was of white carnations, with streamers at either end of broad white and bive satin ribbgn. The corsage bouquets were of white carna- tions and ferns, tied with blue and white ribbons, and on the end of a streamer was the lady’s name. On the outer cover of the menu cards was the Guatemalan coat cf arms, and on a leaf the musical program. A mandolin orchestra played Guatemalan eirs throughout the dinner, which was not only a novelty, but a great delight to the guests. When the ices came on each frozen Santa Claus held two or three tiny Guate-" malan coins, which made welcome little souvenirs of a delightful occasion. Mr. ard Mrs. James F. Barbour arranged a pleasant welcome last night for the home-coming of their son, Fred. Keyworth Barbour.

The drawing rooms were decorated with southern smilax and sprays of pine. The mantel was banked with bridesmaid roses, and the doors and Windows were garlanded with green. The bay window in which the ceremony took place was banked with sprays of pine in the ferm of an arch, from the center of which was suspended a marriage bell of white carnations. Pink and white ribbons extwined with smilax were gracefully ar- ranged from each side of the drawing room door to the bay window, forming an aisle, down which the bridal party march- ed, and at co nient distances on each side of this aisle were stationed small stands of pik and white upon which were placed heavily shaded lamps, alternating in these colors. The house was darkened throughout, and the soft light, which Mended so harmoniously, lent a glorious tint of color to the scene. The shades which adorned the lamps throughout the house were each draped with four large paper chrysanthemums, the handiwork of the bride, The dining room, with its elegant ap- ointments, presented a pretty picture. The mantel was banked with roses and trimmed in smilax. a candelabrum with colored ta- pers forming the cen‘er piece. The table was deccrated with roses and green, and two Cupid lamps shed their radiance over the viands, tempting and delicious.

Carroll Institute Minstrels.—The Carroll Institute Minstrels entertained a large au- dience last evening at Carroll Institute Hall with an entertainment that differed in near- ly every feature from the show that earned the enviable reputation now enjoyed by the organization. The personnel of the min- strells was unchanged, and when the curtain rose on the first part George O'Connor, Percy Leach, Will Cullison and Elmo Jasper oc- cupied their accustomed places on the ends and Phil. Baer was posing as interlocutor. The success of the performance was in large part due to the efforts of the staff, George T. Cox, manager; Percy F. Leach, stage director; William H. Lepley, secre- tary; Willlam S. McCarthy, treasurer; Chas. F. Locraft, property man, and to Ben. Jud- son, the musical director, who arranged all the music, and to the assistance of the Car- roll Institute Orchestra. For the Church Orphanage.—The ladies cor nected with the management of the Church Orphanage have arranged for a con- cert to be given at the house of Mrs. Mackay-Smith, 16th street, tomorrow (Sat- urday) afterncon at 4 o'clock. There is every prospect of a success, as the members of the Ladies’ A‘d have sold a good number of tickets. The orphanage is doing a pub- lic service in a quiet but-efficient way, and this effort on the part of the ladies deserves a hearty response. Vassar Students at Metzerott’s.—One of the most unique entertainments of the sea- son will be the performance of Frank R. Stockton’s “The Squirrel’s Inn” by Vassar students at Metzerott Music Hall early rext month. The characters, both male and female, are taken by the young ladies, and’ as this is the first’ time that anything of this kind has ever been attempted outside of the college, it will, un- doubtedly, draw large audiences. The en- tertainment is for the benefit of the Vassar Students’ Aid Scciety. “Uncle 'Rastus.”—Rev. E. B. Bagby, who Was at one time chaplain of the House of Representatives, will give a free lecture this evening at 8 o'clock at the Vermont Avenue Christian Church.

Johnson will deliver another lecture in his course on countries and nationalities at the Metropolitan M. E. Church, 4% and C streets, this evening at § o'clock.

The ac- tion iteeif was a curious one. One Mrs. Kittie Morrison brought suit against her sister, Elizabeth H. Rodgers, widow of the late millionaire, Alexander Montgomery, and now Mrs. Arthur Rodgers. Mrs. Mor- rison sued to recover $250,000 for inducing Montgomery to marry her sister. Mrs. Rod- gers’ attorneys demur, on the ground that the contract sued upon was “against pub- lic policy.” Judge Daingerfield sustained the demurrer. He declared as a legal principle that “con. tracts in promotion of marriage are void. Judge Daingerfield went on to say that mar- riage brokerage contracts were void under the common law of England, although “valid under the civil law of Justinian.” This would make them valid in nearly all the countries of continental Europe. No pre- cedent was found for the suit by any of the counsel. Judge Daingerfield may therefore be looked upon as a pioneer. SWALLOWED ROUGH ON RATS. A Long Life of Depravity Ends im Suicide. Lizzie Herbert, colored, seventy years old, who has spent many years of her life in the “Division,” ended her existence last night, it is thought with a dose of “Rough +» on Rats,” for a box of the poison was found on the floor near her dead body th’ morning. Lizzie kept a disreputable house ~ for many years. For several years past she 2” has been addicted to the use of intoxicants, "” She has been arrested a number of times ' for petty offenses, including disorderly con- duct and drunkenness, and has been well: known in police circles for fully twenty» years. Last night she was about the “Di- vision” and her own shanty as usual, and those of her class who saw her noticed nothing about her conduct to indicate that she contemplated ending her life. When the light in her room went out nothing more © was heard of her. She failed to leave her — room this morning, and Policeman Flathers |. was asked by her friends to make an in- vestigation, The policeman broke open the door lead- ing to her room and there on the floor found the lifeless body of the old woman. Beside her was the box of poison, and the officer, naturally enough, concluded that she had committed suicide. The officer took charge of the premises and notified the coroner of the woman's death. It is likely that Lizzie’s body wilh be buried in potter's field. es Mr. Murphy Acquitted. ‘The case of Francis T. J. Murphy, the up- holsterer, arrested yesterday on complaint of John C. Govers, on a charge of grand larceny, as printed in yesterday's Star, was tried in the Police Court today. Govers, who had been in business with Murphy, is a decorater. and the check which figured in the case was given him by James G. Blaine, jr., for work done on his mother's house. The check was for $127, and, as printed in The Star yesterday, Mr. Murphy had it cashed and kept most of the money for an alleged debt. During the trial of the case in the Police Court this morning it was shown that civil proceedings be- tween the parties are pending, and Judge Miller concluded that this transaction is @ part of the civil case. The judge found that Mr. Murphy had committed no theft and acquitted him. —— Say They Were Badly Treated. Three men, fresh from the hardships of life on en oyster dredger, called upon San- itary Officer Frank today for assistance, They were Walter Mathiason, a Scotch- man; James McDermott, an Englishman, end Edward Murphy, en Irishman. The Scotchman had a sore hand, but he had no scrious compleint to enter against his em- ployers. But the others lodged a bitter complaint. They worked, they said, about eighteen hours a day on half rations, were beaten and otherwise cruelly treated, and were then put ashere at Lower Cedar Point, without being paid their wages. Sanitary Officer Frank furnished them transportation to Baltimore, and advised them to enter criminal proceedings against those whom they said had treated them so cruelly. ——_—_. Soap Made From W From London Invention. It is dfficult for one to always realize how much we owe to science and inven- tion. By these two powerful genii of mod- ern times waste has become valuable, and little or nothing is lost. Under the name of soap stock a peculiar product appears to be prepared in the province of Leece, in the consular district of Brindisi. It is pre- pared by subjecting the residue of the olive kernels to chemical processes under the action of sulphuric acid, after all means of extraction by pressure have been exhaust~ ed. Of this substance it is stated that dur- ing 1894 the quantity produced amounted to about 1,200 tons, the medium market price for which ranged at about $# per ton. This article, which is of little value lubricator, has an extensive sale for use soap manufacture, and in years when the oil crop has been favorable considerable quantities have been exported to America, Great Britain and northern Europe. This cil is locally known as “olio sulfureo,” or sulphur oil, from the system of its extrac~ tion. The refuse left after the extraction of this oil is known as “sausa,” and is used for fuel for steam boilers by millers, as being more economical than coal. ite.
