JARVIS, $8,2!",35, Raspberry Plenty of Interest Happening ~ Around Here, WEDDINGS AND ENGAGEMENTS Miss Bonaparte Will Wed the Count de Moltke. SOME SUMMER PLANS Notwithstanding the absorbing interest which the world of politics presented the Past week, social, domestic and matrimon- fal affairs around this section were of a character so important that it is -safe to Say the usual amount of attention was paid them in every detail. The gorgeous ar- rangements made for the Vanderbilt-Wil- son wedding were no less absorbing mat- ters of conversation here, where the high rrinciples are tolerably well known, as in New York, where they are recognized stars in the social firmament. Inasmuch as the rroposed marriage of their son was so dis- tasteful to the Vanderbilts, his decision to wait another year indicates more than the average amount of common sense. In- terest in that part of the Vanderbilt side of the controversy which alleged that the young lady was at least ten years older than her fiance has brought the truth to the surface. The high keeper of New York's vital statistics has disclosed the exact date of her birth, and proves that Miss Wilson entered this world of smiles, tears, ambitions and disappointments only three years sooner than Mr. Cornelius Vanderbilt, jr., but who, if all accounts be true, 1s not yet prepared to desert the pa- ternal roof. The wedding announcements hereabouts have contributed greatly to pleasant gowip. That of Mrs. Bugher and Capt. Nicol Lud- low of the navy was a great surprise, al- though some suggestion of the likelihood of such a termination was understood by their most intimate friends. Mrs. Bugher is now at Deer Park with her mother, Mrs. Wash. McLean. The wedding, it is now understood, will not teke place until the fall. Capt. Ludlow ts now in California. ‘The wedding of Miss Bessie Gorman and Mr. Wilton J. Lambert will be attended b: cnly their family circles and _ personal friends, but it will be a beautiful event. The bride is one of the most charming of a group of unsually interesting sisters. The Gorman girls are perfect housekeepers. Both at their city and country homes they divide the cares and responsibilities of the management between them and take th greatest pleasure in their respective tasks. At the wedding next Wednesday evening the bride will be unattended, but the groom will have a Princeton friend, Mr. L. F. Little of Louisville, to stand up with him. Rev. J. Havens Richards, 8. J., president of Georgetown College, will perform the ceremony. The cottagers at Bar Harbor have given up the cool June days to the golf lnks. One of the young men who will be seen out on the links very often is James G. Blaine, jr., who is to spend the summer at Steepways, the country place of Mrs. Emmons Biaine. Here's an idea for the entertainment of the stay-at-homes, or verhaps it would suit as a mid-week dissipation at a sum- mer resort. Up in Lynn, Mass., the other day, a matron gave a spinster reception The invitatiors were In rhyme, and were confined to ladies between the ages of forty and eighty, who had during their live: tecelved and declined proposals of mai riage. There were 100 of these ladies pr ent. Luncheon was served in the barn, which was handsomely <iscorated in lav- ender, lignt green and purple, and twelve matrons and twelve young ladies cared for the tables. A feature of the luncheon was the huge spinster cake. American girls who have married into the English aristocracy are well to the front in carrying out the duties and obli- gations of their station. The young Duch- ess of Marlborough has already opened several institutions and agzicultural show: Mrs. George N. Curzon, who, by the wa is said to be looking han-isomer than ever, has assisted the Duchess cf Devonshire at a fancy fair, and was one of the guests at the prime minister's historic house party, which the Princess of Wales and the Duc! ess of York honored with their presenc a much greater distinction, by the way, than a ‘visit from the jolly, ubiquitous prince. Mrs. and the Misses Brice were among the party of Americans entertained this week by the Duke and Duchess of Marl- borough at Cissbury, a place taken by them for the races at Ascot. The Brice party, with ex-Secretary and Mrs. Fair- child, Mrs. Slater and Miss Gwynne of this city, are among those who enjoyed the races with the duke and duchess from the royal inclosure. The Prince and Princess of Wales occupied a splendid place near by, which had been loaned them for the meet- ing. Senator and Mrs. Brice will again occupy this summer the Newport villa, Bellevue avenue, of Mr. William Waldorf Astor. In fact, they have taken a lease of the place for three years, and intend partly to re- furnish it. It is said that in consideration of the extended term for which the rental has been made there ts a slight reduction in the set annual price, which is $15,000, which the Brices paid for Beaulieu last summer. Mrs. Brice and the Misses Brice will go to Newport immediately after they return from Europe, which will be to- ward the close of this month. A young lady in Washington has just re- ceived a cablegram from Miss Louise Bo- naparte, daughter of Mrs. Jerome N. Bo- naparte, announcing her engagement to Count de Moltke, son of the Danish am- bassador at Paris, who is himself in the diplomatic corps. As this information comes from Miss Bonaparte’s most inti- mate friend, its authenticity is beyond question gand will be a pleasant surprise to the large circle of acquaintances of the Bonaparte family. Miss Bonaparte is very good-looking and a charming girl. She made her debut at a magnificent ball at the Arlington a year before her father’s death. She is thoroughly American in sen- timent, although most of her school life has been spent in France. Mrs. Haxall has closed her apartment at the Portland and will pass the summer at North Hatley, Canada, where she was last summer. Dr. Z. T.

POWER FROM REFUSE. ie ctric Lighting and Other Uses of ‘ower From Garhna; From Casster's Magazine. Garbage and town refuse disposal is one matter where the cities of Europe are far ahead of those of this country. An ideal plant of this kind is that at Rochdale, England.

This preference is due to the fact that by this method not only ts all organic matter Hable to putrefy and be- come a menace to the health of the com- munity destroyed, but it has been found by actual trial that the heat derived from the burning of this refuse may be used for the production of steam, which can be utilized for commercial purposes, and the revenue received from this source may be sufficient to more than pay for the cost of burning. There are no less than fifty-five such de- structors in different parts of England. The health committee of Rochdale, a man- ufacturing town of 73,000 inhabitants, re- cently adopted the method, with the idea of ultimately using the steam produced for electric lighting purposes. It has been found that this rough, unscreened refuse, running as much as 35 per cent of clinker ard ash, will evaporate 1.6 pounds of water for every pound of refuse burned, under boilers built to produce steam at 120 pounds pressure. Coal burned under the same boilers evaporated seven pounds of water per pound of coal. The two boilers have a@ grate surface of forty-five square feet each. gn building the two destructor cells a it combustion chamber, com- mon to both, was provided between them and the boilers, so that the gases could in- termingle, and that time should be allow- ed for the combustion of gases before they ceme in contact with the comparatively cold surface of the boiler, noting the fact that if cnce the organic matter in the fumes were heated sufficiently high no umount of subsequent cooling down could again make them malodorous. It is interesting to note that it is not necessary to use coal to aid in the burning of this refuse. The plant has been able to produce 340 brake horse power, burning two tons of refuse per hour. This high efficiency is obtained with ordinary boilers by using a forced draught. The weight of the refuse is reduced two-thirds and the volume three-fourths. “The author says in conclusion: “The dis- pesal of two-thirds of the refuse com- pietely fs an important matter, but when to this is added the fact that the remain- ing third is rendered quite free from any organic matter whatever, It is past con- ception that corporations and local com- panies will continue to tip such immense quantities of purefactive matter away. when, if they put in suitable appliances ard used the steam which can be produced, the refuse might be burned and @ profit made on the transaction.” A COLLEGE BUILDING. An Important Impro: Washington. Today work was begun in the construc- tion of a building for the use of Wood's Commercial College. It will be located in the rear of 311 East Capitol street, seeped which was recently purchased by rofessor Court F. Wood. The plans ave been prepared by A. E.
