Mr. and Mrs. C. W. Johnson have issued cards announcing the marriage of their daughter, Stella to Mr. P. J. Galligan. The ceremony was performed by Father Staf- ford at St. Patrick's parsonage at 10 o'clock this morring, only the immediate family of the bride being present. After the_cere- mony Mr. and Mrs. Galligan left for At- lantic City, where they will remain three weeks. On their return they will be pleas- ed to see their friends at their new home, 41 Quincy street, West Eckington. Col. John A. Baker and family, accom- panied by Miss Martha Hichborn, are so- journing for three weeks at the White Sul- phur Springs, W. Va., prior to starting for Halifax, N. 8., where they will remain till the middle of September. Lieut. William H. Coffin of the 5th Artil- lery, U.S.A., and Mrs. Minnie Mansfield Wood were married last week at San Fran- cisco. The wedding was a very quiet af- fair. It was first announced to take place at the residence of the bride’s father in San Jose, but as the groom’s leave of ab- sence was curtailed and he had to return to his new post at Fort Canby, arrange- ments were hastened. Lieut. Coffin, U.S.N., of the steamer Alert, a brother of the groom, was best man. The ceremony was Performed by the Rev. D. O. Kelley, the chaplain at the Presidio, according to the rites of the Episcopal Church. At its con- clusion those present partook of a wedding breakfast. The bride was gowned in a dark traveling dress and wore a hat to match. Lieut. and Mrs. Coffin have gone to Fort Canby. The groom is a native of the District of Columbia, and has been in the army since September, 186). He has been stationed at the Presidio for four years past, until transferred to Fort Can- by, Washington, about four months ago. The bride is the widow of Capt. Abram E. Wood of the 4th Cavalry, U.S. A. She is the daughter of the Rev. Dr. Mansfield of San Jose, at whose house she has resided since the death of her first husband. Mrs. Geo. R. Kessler of 1437 Corcoran street has gone to join her husband at Cin- cinnati, who is stationed there as special examiner for the pension office. Mrs. Powell Berry is visiting for a few days at Mrs. Gordon's, 905 8th stret north- west. Mr. and Mrs. W. W. Burdette are at Jamestown, R. I., accompanied by their son and daughter. Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Pilling and family are at their home at Gloucester, Mass. Mrs. H. E. Ryan has gone to Atlantic City. Miss Ella F. Matthews has now gone to Oranda, Shenandoah county, Va. ‘Mr. and Mrs. C. C. Glover and family are at Apersand, N. Y. Mrs. M. W. Shuster is at Capon Springs. Miss Ida Myers of Baltimore, who has been visiting Miss Annye Sondheim of 612 G street, has returned home. Rev. Dr. 8. H. Greene, pastor of Calvary Baptist Church, and Mrs. Greene left today for their summer vacation, which they will spend as usual at Troy, Vt., the home of many of Mrs. Greene’s relatives, and within a dozen miles or so of Dr. Greene’s birth- place and boyhood home.

The Duchess of Manchester, formerly Miss Consuelo Yznaga of New York, will arrive at Newport in a day or two. She is a widow, and it is said she is one of the most intimate acquaintances of the Prin- cess of Wales and with her children fre- quent visitors at Sandringham Paiace. The duchess will be entertained at various Newport houses. The object, it is said, for which the duchess is coming across the water is to secure a rich American bride for her nineteen-year-old son, a comely youth who is passionately fond of postage stamps and devoted to amateur acting, in which he is exceptionally proficient. Until he attains his majority a couple of years hence his mother remains in charge and control of the ducal property, comprising the castles of Kimbleton, in England, and of Tenderagee, in Ireland, the latter being one of the most beautiful country resi- dences in the United Kingdom, dating back to the reign of King James II. She also has control of the patronage of the six church livings belonging to the dukedom; that is to say, she has the appointment of the rectors and clergy of six important and densely populated parishes, and is virtual- ly responsible for the spiritual welfare of the people residing therein. The duchess’ son, for whom it is said she will seek a wife, will accompany her. Lady Mary Montagu, the duchess’ daughter, will also be with her. Mrs. Fillmore Harrison and Mrs. Delia Sheehy of Massachusetts avenue north- west are at Atlantic City, where they will be joined by Mr. Harrison the latter part of this week. Gov. Charles Knowlton and wife of Au- gusta, Me., have returned to their home after a short visit to their niece, Mrs. A. L. Gunning. — Day Labor vs. Contract Labor. ‘To the Ueitor of The Evening Star: I am very glad to observe that The Star proposes to keep up its good fight for the abolishment of contract labor, so far as District work is concerned. Contract la- bor is unsatisfactory all around. It is det- rimental to mechanics who are masters of their respective trades, because incompe- tent workmen’ will ever underbid them. It is an injury to employers who take pride ‘In their work, because in their determina- tion to turn out nothing but first-class work they will hire none but first-class me- chanics—mechanics who demand, and de- serve, first-class wages. That fact shuts them out from competing with those who will bid low, expecting to come out even by employing cheap labor and by slight- ing work wherever the vigilance of the building inspector may be evaded. It is an injury to the fair fame of the city. For what citizen of Washington can take pride in exhibiting almost any one of the public buildings that have been erected in recent years? The laborer is worthy of his hire, and we have divine authority for that as- sertion. Hence the very principle of con- tract work is wrong. To have work done by the lowest bidder means to get the cheapest labor, to use the cheapest mate- rial, to get a job done “somehow,” so it may serve for awhile. To do work by day’s labor means to employ a competent superintendent, to use sound material, to utilize the most competent workmen to be found. Who would not prefer the latter? Surely the taxpayer, who in his own enter- prises finds that what is “cheap” is gen- erally dear in the end. Surely the mer. chant, who realizes only too forcibly that workingmen who recelve low wages are but indifferent consumers. Let us, then, put a stop to the present contract system at the earliest opportunity. It benefits no one, and it injures many. A good begin- ning has been made by the committee of the Federation of Labor, and with the continued assistance of the ever-reliable Evening Star, let us hope that at the next session of Congress the end sought will be accomplished.

Sunday evening a man named Washington was arrested in Washington with the horse in his possession.

Company Teams to Compete for Rail- rond Ticket Prizes, Preparations for Sea Girt seem to be in vogue throughout the entire District Ne: ticnal Guard, and unless all the signs fall the District detachment at the Jersey range will be nearly twice as large this year as at any previous meeting. ‘The number of individual riflemen—apart en- tirely from the members of teams—prom- ises to be up in the thirties or forties. Of company teams there will doubtless be several, as already indicated in The Star, and two of those teams will be furnished transportation by the brigade. The iden- tty of the fortunate two will not be known until August 19, as provided for in Circular N issued today from the adjutant gen- 's office in the following form: “To encourage the entry of company teams in the company team and carbine matches of the current annual meeting of the New Jersey State Rifle Association, it is Announced that transportation to and from Sea Girt will be provided for two teams of five men each, under the follow- ing prescribed conditions: “Each company officer commanding Co Corps—desirous of er notify the Inspector general of rifle prac- tice to that effect not later than Monday, August 3. “Competitors for places on the company teams so certified—not to exceed ten mem- bers of each company—will be furnished with twenty rounds of ammunition free of charge on Wednesday, August 5, and Friday, August 7. “Preliminary practice by teams will take 2. and Friday, One hundred rounds of am- ach team free of those two days. nesday, August 19, all company teams will report at the rifle range at Ord- way not later than 2:45 o'clock p.m. In the competition which will ensue each team will fire ten rounds per man at 200 yards and ten rounds per man at 50 yards. Teams using the carbine will be allowed five points on the team total at 2) yards and ten points on the team total yards. The two teams whose aggregates lead will be awarded the transportation to Girt.” Company A of the Engineer Corps has, it is understood, been shut out of the compe- tition for the reason that the probabilities point to there being eight o: of that company e transportation of a té the der—except E ph August 14. munition will b ; the m from Company A will, therefore, be provided for in the transportation of the brigade team.
