A Brilliant Social Event—Distinguish- ed Guests and Eloquent Talk—Personals, Dr. Wesley Reid Davis of the Post Office Department gave a dinner last evening at the Metropolitan Club in honor of the Rev. W. Hudson Shaw, A.M., fellow of Balliol College, Oxford, who is now delivering a course of lectures on the university exten- sion plan at Metzerott Hall upon successive Tuesday afterncons. Covers were laid for twenty. The guests were Postmaster Gen- eral William L. Wilson, Secretary of the Navy Hilary A. Herbert, Secretary of Ag- riculture J. Sterling Morton, Maj. Gen. Nelson A.

W field Monroe of Baltimore, a near kinsman of the host; Mr. Crosby S. Noyes, Mr. Charles M. Ffoulke, Dr. D. E. Salmon, chiet of the bureau of animal industry, and Rev.

Townsend Lansing of ic cl Albany. ‘The table decorations were of unique beauty, consisting of large vases of Favrile glass richly filled with masses of narcissu Jonquils and white roses. This exquisite gless repeats the charm ef the ancient Roman iridescent glass, but far surpasses it in grace of form. The menu was a suc- cession of delicious surprises. Dr. Davis acted as toastmaster, ously presenting each speaker in his tur The toast of honor was “Our own first lady of the land, shrined and beloved by the hearth felicit- He said lus theme appealed with conquering charm to every sold cavalier and citizen, irrespective of part creed or nation, and was found in the hearts of the womanhood and childlife of the world. The second toast was “Her majesty, Victoria, for more than half a century queen of earth's greatest empire, yet none the less a tender, steadfast wife, moiher and friend.” Lord Gough was chosen to spond, but was unavoidably prevented fi attendance upon the dinner, His place wes handsomely filled by the Secretary of t Navy. The guest of honor spoke with mas- terful fascination to the sentiment of “England and America.” He fully justified the remark of the great John Bright, who said that before there could be a war be- tween America and her mother country again there would be a war in England. The Postmaster General talked deli fully on “Memories of the Washington that is gone.” Bishop John ¥. Hurst s}oke to the subject of “The greater Washington, the coming university center of the worid He submitted a budget of facts that asion- ished the most learned gentlemen present, concerning the accumulated scientitic and educational equipment of the capital cit The Rev. Dr. stadcliffe more than sur} himself in handling the toast, in politics.” He was introduced as z rot so fully “a prospective citizen of the new Jerusalem as to forget that he was a man among men in Washington.” Solicicor General Holmes Conrad warmed the cockles of the guests’ hearts with his reminiscent talk upon “The good old times.” In the small hours of the morning the final toast was given, Each gentleman was presented with a liqueur glass shaped like a flower as a souvenir of ihe dinner. When se were filled, Dr. Davis proposed “The resident, the supreme expression of an honest man; the noblest work of God.” The toast was taken by the Secretary of Agri- culture and made to burn with the living force of his best gifts. The evening was voted to be unprecedent- ed for its comradeship and cheer. The guests were reluctant to break their circle. Bach man went his way under the speli of memories never to be forgotten, wearing his bunch of white Scotch heather for “good luck.” The engegement of Miss Marjorie Stuart and Dr. James Stuart, both of this city, is announced.

PEARY’S DETACHMENT Much Mystery Surrounds His Relief From Duty at New York. Speculation as to Whether He Pro poses to Again Make a Trip to the Frozen North. Tke case of Civil Engineer Robert B, Peary, the arctic explorer, is exciting con- siderable gossip in naval circles. A few deys ago he was detached from duty at the New York navy yard and placed on waiting orders. Ordinarily such action is @ reflection on an officer unless it is taken at his own request. Mr. Peary was as- signed to duty at the New York navy yard last November, and consequently when relieved had been on active service less then five months. During his service cer- tain frauds were practiced by the con- tractors for the construction of ‘a cause- wey in Wallabout bay by the use of an inferior quality of bolts. It is said that the frauds were discovered by: Mr. Peary. At any rate, the work was suspended in order, it is sald, to.get authority from Congress for 4 change in ihe plan of the ‘auseway. Surrounded by Myster; The sudden detachment of Civil Engineer Peary was surrounded with an unusual amount of mystery, and it is sald that no one but Secretary Herbert himself knows the reason thcrefor. It is only fair to Mr. Peary, however, to say that he was re- lieved at his own request, and not be- cause of the alleged fraudulent work in his department. Still, no one seams able to explain why he was placed on waiting orcers after such an exceedingiy short term of service, especially in view of the fact that he has already been unemployed for a longer period, comparatively, than probably any other officer of the navy. He has been in the navy all told about fourteen years, during which period he has been unemployed (that is, so far as the navy is concerned) six years and five months. Most of this time has been spent in private work in connection with the exploration of the arctic region. He was given leave of absence to enable him to Prosecute this work, with corresponding] reduced pay. ‘ si Plans for the Future. There is much speculation in regard to Mr. Peary’s plans for the future, and it is @ question whether the department has other work for him or whether he is to be granted leave of absence again so that he may make another trip to the frozen north, The question having become the subject of newspaper discussion, Mr, Peary took oc- casion to make a public statement to the effect that he had neither funds nor plans for another polar expedition. Notwith- standing this statentent with regard to a “polar expedition,” the belief still prevails that he contemplates another trip to the north. What a Friend Says. “It is possible,” said a friend of his toa reporter, “that Mr. Peary will devote his period of waiting orders to a lecture tour to recoup himself for various heavy ex- penditures made during his arctic experi- ences or as a result of them. It is also possible that he may join an expedition to Southern Greenland, wel! within the limits of the whalers, where Peary discovered the largest meteorite ever known. The party dug around the object, but It was too large to be conveyed to the ship, which could not be brought near enough to admit of iis be- ing taken aboard without extra means of lifting the interesting specimen. The Phil- adelphia Academy of Sciences is desirous of obtaining the meteorite, and I under- Stand that institution is willing to fit out an expedition to bring it to this country.” —_—___e-__. Reckless Driving. To the Editor of The Evening Star: At 4:30 p.m. on the 20th instant, while crossing F street opposite the Ebbitt House, 1 was assailed by a harsh command, “Git cut duh way! Whyn't chuh git out dur Doancher h’year me hollun’ at I barely escaped serious injury by jump- ing back suddenly, as a negro, well dress- ed and about cighteen or twenty years old, ériving a spirited dark horse, dashed by reyidly, the wheels passing within three or four inches of my body. Deafness in the left ear prevented knowl- edge of his approach until notified by his gcntle admonition. There were no other vehicles in that portion of the street, and he could easily have driven on either side cof _me. Cannot the practice of reckless driving be stopped? H.W. MARRIED. MOORE SMITH.
