Small charges. 8 am. tw m. Sundays, 9 to L a GboncEs & SON, 4115 Pa. avo, Now the Strong Light is on the Bland Family. Personal and Intellectual Traits of the Silver Leader's Wife and Chitdren—Notes. If Mr. Biand gets the presidential nomina- tion there is no question but that the fam- fly and home life of Mr. Bland will have an intense and practical interest to the Amer- ican public, friends and opponents alike, far more perhaps than the story of the whirligig in politics and sentiment which has brought him so prominently to the front. Again, as it has happened so often in this country, a poor man’s family whose everyday life has been without particular interest to any one outside of the small community in which they were raised, has the searching scrutiny of the public eye cast upon it, and the revelations disclosed are those of thousands of other happy homes throughout the length and breadth of the land. When Mr. Bland was in Congress his family life was in keeping with his purse. He resided in modest quar- ters each session, and the location was generally because of easy proximity to the schools attended by the children. Both he and Mrs. Bland believed in surrounding their home circle with all necessary com- forts, and the only extravagances, pos- sibly, have been on the @ducation of thar children. Eight children, two girls and six boys, have been born to them. In this group all of them ola enough to go to school have had every possible advantage in the school Hne. They are bubbling over with talent, and take as naturally to books as ducks to water. Both Mr. Bland and his wife have given their children a strong example in this regard. A few years ago Mr. Bland began to take a fondness for the piano. He had a good ear for music, and, unsssisted, save by-timely hints and advice from his wife and daugnter, acquired a practical knowledge of the theory of mu- sic, and couid stand a severe cross-exam- ination in thorough bass. Mrs. Bland has been a student all her life. She taught school before her marriage, and has been as diligent at her books since as apy of her children. From time to time, she has taken up special subjects, and pur- sued them under instructors until mastered to her satisfaction. She is a good French scholar and equally proficient in music. These scholarly tastes in connection with the care of her house and children and the supervision of their studies, have occupied her time to the exclusion of social pleas- ures outside of her own home. Miss Frances Bland, the eldest of the children, has received her education at the Holy Cross Academy, in this city, and hes been a pupil boarder there since her father’s retirement from Congress. She is a member of the graduating class of '98. She is a good musician, and this branch of her education has received particular at- tention. The oldest son, Theodore Bland, attends the Christian Brothers’ College, in St. Louis, and is regarded as a brilliant student: The second daughter, Virginia, is only five years old. The baby boy, now about three years old, was baptized at St. Patrick’s Church, im this city, and Mrs. Romero, wife of the Mexican minister, is his godmother. Mrs. Bland has gracious and pleasant manners, and, while never seeking any public notice or attention, in fact, being of rather a shrinking disposition, and averse to anything which would greatly interrupt the pleasant monotony of her home, would figure most acceptably in the highest so- cial position or where any weuld be appreciated. Mrs. Bland is a Catholic, and during her residence in this city attended the church nearest to her residence, ss that she and her family are identified with beth St. Matthew's and St. Patrick’s churches and their religious s0- cteties. One cf the prettiest weddings of the sea- son took place last night at the Fourth Presbyterian Church. The contracting par- ties were Miss Minnie Babcock, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George Babcock of 12th street, and Rev. Mr. Clarence Allfather of Mexianna, Tex. The ceremony was per- fcrmed by Rev. Joseph T. Kelly of the church, in which Miss Babcock was a member and a great favorite. The ushers were Messrs. Charlie Babcock, cousin of the bride; Ernest Merrick, Jos. Kelly, jr., and Benjemin Franklin. The bride was arrayed in a heliotrope pineapple silk. The material was brought from the East Indies by her grandfather. lt was trimmed with lace which has been in the family for many years. She carried a bouquet of bride roses, which she dis- tributed among the young ladies of the church. She was attended by her sister, Miss Jessie Babcock, and Miss Lires of Ohio. The church was beauiifully decorat- ed with palms, lamps and art flowers. The couple stood during the ceremony under a large arch, from which was suspended a Magnificent wedding bell made of white roses, carnations and sweet peas. ‘The ccuple left on a midnight train for their future home in southern Texas, where the groom has’ charge of a large district. A birthday party was given by the Misses Mary and Lottie Seitz at their residence, 711 2d street. After refreshments were served games were played. Amung those present were the Misses M. Fitzgerald, N. Fitzgerald, K. Costello, N. Sweeney, D. Harbour, M. Savage, M. Sullivan, F. Kemp, N. Sullivan, M. Whippe, 6. Leary, E. Whip- pe, M. Leary, F. White, B. Owens, M Sweeney, M. Dougiass, Masters J. Fitzger- ald, J. Sweeney, H. Klotz, A. Owens, T. White, R. McMahon, J. McMahon, W. Mc- Mahon, A. Fitzgerald, A. Leary, G. Savage, B. Sweeney, and Mrs. E. Lutz and Mrs. J. Hurley. Owing to the unexpected and serious ill- ness of the bride, the wedding of Rev. Marion J. Kline of Harrisburg, Pa. and Miss Belle F. Leeds of this city, which was to have taken place the latter part of Au- gust, was solemnized at 11 o'clock Monday night, June 6, Rev. Dr. Domer officiating. At Elkton, Va., a brilliant ball was given at the hotel this week, when were present some of Washington’s leading people, Mrs. P. H. Hill and her four charming daugh- ters, Miss Gilliss, Miss Randolph, Miss Craig, Mr. James P. Voorhees, Mr. I. B. Kendall, Mrs. J. B. Appleberg, Mr. Heber May, Mrs. Kirkpatrick and Mr. Harold May. About fifty couples participated in the dance and enjoyed an elegant supper. Among the Washingtonians at Loch Lynn Heights, Md, are Mrs. T. P. Simpson, Miss Julia Simpson, Miss S. J. Neal, Mrs. Clem- ents, Mr. S. K. Burche of the pension bu- reau, Mrs. M. R. Eddy, Miss Josephine Eddy, Masters Oliver and Augustus Eddy, _ Elizabeth Eddy and Miss Dora V. il. Mr. and Mrs. E. A. Greenough will leave today for Rye Beach, N. H., for the sum- mer. Mrs. William Seward Marks and Miss Dorothy Marks left this morning for Pitts- burg to visit Mrs. Edward Godfrey, for- merly Miss Kittie Marks of this city. Mrs. Minnie Treadway, accompanied by her cousin, Miss Agnes Booth, will leave the city tomorrow to visit friends and rela- tives in New York and Massachusetts. Mr. Henry H. Duncan and wife of Florida are spending a few days with Mr. and Mrs. W. P. Couper of 28 Iowa circle. Seas ENLISTMENTS IN THE ARMY. Slight Decrease in the Number, but Quality is Better. There has been a slight decrease in army enlistments of late, and the present strength of the army is about 600 less than its maximum force of 25,000 men. Officers of the adjutant general's oifice at the War Department are authority for the state- ment that the quality of the recruits is tmauch beiter than for many years, and that connection with the file of the army no lenger carries with it the social degrada- ticn, which formerly attached to it. The improved condition is stated to be due in part to the new system of recruiting, which allows a regiment to fill all vacancies from its immediate neighborhood. It is also due in @ great measure to the stringent rules row governing admissions to the ranks of the army. Greater care is now taken in the character of the recruits than here- tofore, and the candidate must produce satisfactory procf on that point to in- eure his enliziment. Acccrding to one of the officers at the War Department the conditions of the sol- der are much better than they were even ten years ago. The better class of soldiers has made the service more agreeable, ani there is a more congenial relationship ex- istirg between officers and men, althovc of course, there can never be an abso on three-fourths ui of clothing and food. ‘The army is by no means the disrepu- table organization it was once charged with being,” said an army officer. “It is really agreeable, and I should say prefer- able, in every way for a. man who is doom- ed to manual labor ail his life, with noth- ing to show for it at the end, and very little m as he goes along.” EXCURSIONS. ‘The Macalester will make three trips to Indian Head this week, same as last, leav- ing her wharf, foot of 7th street, Thurs- day, Friday aad Saturday evenings at 6:30 o'clock. This schedule will remain in force the balance of the summer. The boat coming. Christian Endeavorers and their friends will find these trips in the cool of the evening most delightful and refreshing, after spending a hot and fatiguing day in the city. There is a good cafe on the boat and at Marshall Hall, and popular prices prevail. . During the Christian Endeavor conven- tion the steamer John Sylvester will make Special excursions to Lower Cedar Point and Colonial Beach every day at 9 a.m., except Saturday, when the boat will leave at 6 p.m. There are an unexcelled table and orchestra on board the boat, which is with- out state rooms, giving all the room pos- sible for the comfort and convenience of passengers. ° . Christian Endeavorers and their friends in the city should not fail to take in the queen of all side trips, that to Old Point Comfort, Norfolk and the Atlantic ocean, To afford those who will attend the con- vention an opportunity to visi these fa- mous places and to view the beautiful scenery and many historic places en route, the Norfolk and Washington Company have added a day boat to their line, which leaves the wharf, foot of ith street, July 9, 11, 13, 15 and 17, at 7:30 a.m., and ‘eturns fo the city following days at 7:15 p.m. The reduced rate tickets are good until the 18th instant, inclusive, and passengers: san go by day and return by night, or vice versa, if desired. At Norfolk connec- tions are made with boats to New York and Boston by sea, and by rail for all points south and west. River View affords a pleasant place visitors to this city to go Re eg account of its near loeation to the city and the quick time made by the fast boats in the service of the resort a trip can be made to it without the loss of many hours of sightseeing at the na- tional capital.
