A Cabinet Sise Joke—Summer Resort Echoes — Personal Notes. The cabinet families who happened to be in town during the last week have been holding consolation meetings while discuss- ing the tidings from Chicago. It requir- ed a few days for the heads of the ad- ministration households to bolt the tick- et, but the women were by né means as slow in giving their opinions. One cabinet officer who was calling at the home of an- other one night during the past week, was asked by his hostess: “Why haven't you been in to see us? I have been nearly dead.” “Sorry, indeed, to hear that, but we are all dead, or so near it, since we have noth- ing to live for, that I have not felt much like visiting,” was ihe laughing but hon- est reply. 2 ‘The consolation part in these and kindred discourses is found in going over past joys rather than in any hope of escaping politi- cal persecution in the future. The chances are that none of the present cabinet fam- ilies will honor Washington by a residence here but a very short time after the 4th of next March. They feel that they have ample time to arrange their future plans, and they will be all made, before the vic- torlous forces, equally disagreeable and un- welcome, whether silver democrat or gold republican, will have reached the capital. The wives of the gentlemen who have en- tertained the presidential bee the longest are at the moment their best consolers, just as they were a few weeks ago their most ardent supporters. ‘Those who got left the worst find great consolation in the fact that they never would have indulged such aspirations if it were not for the home whispers, and the womankind are thanking heaven that So- and-So's wife did not get a chance at a White House residence, fot it would have been the topmost straw on a social career already too heavy. 5 There is not one of Mr. John R. McLean's acquaintances in this city who would not be glad had he received the coveted prize, and all are pleased, anyway, that he had a week or more of genuinely new en- joyment, in being a candidate. But close observers at home felt, although he was looking to the White House, he had plan- ned for the usual summer addition to his I street home. There has scarcely been a year since he took possession of it but some changes have been made in it or some new part a¢ded. This time a new story has bee put on the back of the building on the 15th street side. Mrs. Washington McLean and Mrs. Bugher have been at Deer Park for sev- eral months. The latter has now the pleas- ure of entertaining her prospective hus- band, Capt. Ludlow. So great was the de- sire of the Deer Parkers to see the for- tunate man, who had won the hand and heart of such a charming woman that many of her friends were at the station to meet him. Mrs. Bugher, having had a hint of their intentions, warned the captain in advance to leave the train at Oakiand, which he did, and where she met him, with only a few appreciative lookers-on. No- body would be surprised if the announce- ment of their wedding came any day now as, with nearly all the family close at hand, there is no need of further delay, and the engagement has existed since last winter. Mr. Fred Bugher, who attains his majority the coming autumn, is much sought after in the cligible ranks. He has a large for- tune at his command, and with it has in- herited a kindly disposition, attract ners and lots of common sense and the knowledge of how to use mon It is understood that atter M marriage Mrs. Hazen will mak with her mother, Mrs. McLean. Mr. and Mrs. John R. McLean were at Deer Park several days this week on their way back from Chicago. They returned here yesterday, and will remain a few days before starting off again for the rest of the summer. From ail one hears of the doings of the folks at the fashionable or at the quiezer summer resorts, there is very little origin- ality displayed in the every-day life. Ex- cept for what has been injected by the wheel in the way of extra employment of time, the old program of hotel balcony gos- siping and as many new toilets as one’s means will allow are still the controlling issues. The swell girl who stays right here at home all summer, anc for choice, too, is a novelty, however, and she knows it and is proud of it. She appears on the streets just as often as she does in cool weather, and in the evenings can always be found at home, unless she has had a bid for the theater or an ice cream treat. At Newport the curtain has hardly been rung up yet for the summer gaiety. The illness of Mr. Cornelius Vanderbilt, sr., has had a most depressing effect in the circle in which he and family are so greatly es- teemed. At Bar Harbor the fun is not yet either fast or furious, but running over the list of the cottagers brings together a num- der of people who are scarcely ever dull or incapable of attracting attention to their . Bugher's her home movements, They wili surely shine in some way or other before long. At Lenox a neighborly feeling existe among the cottagers, but no striking «vents have been listed as yet, unless golf, beloved golf, can be construed as worthy such a definition. Manchester-by-the-Sea has the reputation of being one of the most ex- pensive resorts in the east. It is only those who have four-in-hands and large stables who cut any figure whatever. Camping out and roughing it generally has its own joined a number of Philadelphia friends to go to Atlantic City for two weeks. Mr. Ike Oettinger of West Washington has gone to Pen-Mar for the summer. Miss Carrie Ackley of Columbus, Ohio, is visiting Mrs. 8. F. Brooks, 3023 14th street. The Misses Smythe, Curtiss and Nellson of Capitol Hill are at Leonardtown, Md., for several days. The Misses Mollie and Carrie Bennett and Miss Gertrude Barron left today for Frederick, where they will spend the sum- mer, Mrs. W. H. C. Thompson will spend two weeks at Lake George with her sister, Mrs. H. A. Hall. Miss L, Ragan Spickard of Blacksburg, Va., is visiting her cousin, Mrs. George Simmons, No. 1100 Roanoke street, Colum- bia Heights. Mrs. Romanzo Edson, who spent last win- ter in New York studying, is now at Deal Beach, N. J., for the remainder of the sea- son. Misses Agnes and Loretta Rainey of No. 20 G street northwest will leave for Bar Harbor Tuesday evening, where they will stay until the 15th of August. Miss E. De Grummond, Mr. R. A. Ford and B. H. Bagley are attending the con- vention of the Baptist Young People’s Union of America at Milwaukee. After the adjournment of the convention Miss De Grummond expects to visit relatives in Detroit.

The cars of this enterprising line are so scheduled as to permit the accumulation of no more than two at one time at the western ter- minus, at the corner of 15th street and New York avenue. The track is s0 laid as to give a west-bound car a clear way to within about fifty feet from the end of the rails, where the road stops with a single track. The motormen usually stuy much nearer 14th than 15th street, in their extreme caution, which Is suggested by the constant presence of a still car on the little terminal spur. The people bound West are usually dumped from the car ve! near lith street, whereas their fare en- titles them to a ride to 15th street. The west-bound car then waits several minutes until the time comes for the start of the east-bound car. It would be perfectly easy for the east-bound car to be moved ahead past the swiich just as soon as the change of brake and grip-wheels is made, leaving the switch and spur clear for the car com- ing west, which is usually well filled with passengers. It seems to me, in common with hundreds of other regular patrons of the road, that the interesis of a majority should be consulted, and there are easily particular attractiveness in the Adiron- dacks and White mountains, and a great many Washingtonians prefer this enjoy- ment to any other way of spending the summer. Members of the diplomatic corps are scattered all over the country, each seeking relaxation and pleasure in his own way, but it is surprising how many of the ministers or their representatives turn up at the State Department once a week, and will continue to do so as long as the Secretary of State remains in town. Among the last of the foreign families to leave town was that of the Chilean minis- ter and Mrs. Gana. As Mr. Gana will shortly be transferred to Paris, Ocean City was selected for their summer outing, be- cause of its convenicnce to this city. The family have been a most charming addi- tion to foreign circles, and there will be great regret at their departure. Mrs. Hearst is in California, down at Mon- terey, where she will spend a month or so, and it would be hard to find a more at- tractive spot for rest or recreation. Mr. and Mrs. Hallet Kilbourn, who, with their family,are rusticating at Bleak House this summer, are entertaining so hospitably there that the name of the place has be- come more and more a misnomer. Twenty- five years ago, when ex-Gov. SI bought the farm and built the residenze on the highest point on ft, the surroundings were so bleak that the title fitted it accu- rately. He at once commenced to plant trees, imported spruce and firs, had a land- scape gardener lay out the old-fashioned flower beds, the walks and the drives, end Mr. Kilbourn took the greatest pleasure in assisting at the tree planting.

Criminal Law, Joseph Block, a Russian, twenty-fiv years old, who can neither read nor writ was yesterday in New York sent to Sing Sing prison to spend the rest of his natural life at hard labor, because, after once being ccnvicted of petty larceny, a jury found him guilty of burglary in the first degree Judge Aspinall passed the sentence, not because he desired to inflict such a seve punishment on the defendant, but because the habitual criminal law made the im- position of the penalty mandatory on him It is the first time in the history of Kings county that life imprisonment has imposed for any crime less than murder the second degree. Block might have pleaded guilty to bur- glary in a less degree and would have seen given a smaller sentence, but he stout- ly denied his guilt, and i that he would not admit ft to save his life. - _— Punished for Razor Carryt Kate Shreeves, the colored woman who was in the Police Court yesterday for car- rying a razor, was in court again today.
