Miss Julia Grant, daughter of Col. Fred. Grant, and Miss Vivian Sartoris, daughter of Mrs. Nellie Grant Sartoris, who are guests of Mrs. Potter Palmer for the sum- mer at Newport, were given a dinner and dance by the latter last week. The gowns of the hostess and her nieces were unusual- ly pretty. Mrs. Palmer wore a gown of light brocade, embroidered with wreaths of pink roses and purple flags. - The elbow sleeves puffed less than seen on the other gowns. Miss Grant wore a dainty creation in organdy, striped purple and Nile green over changeable rose and purple taffeta silk. The bodice was cut low and trimmed with chiffon. Miss Sartoris wore a gown of Nile green shot silk, the skirt of the silk, the front gores joined together with inser- tien of real lace. The square cut odice was of embroidered chiffon, with a ruffle of chiffon around the neck, edged with a dainty lace. The sleeves consisted of ruffles of chiffon extending from shoulder to el- bow, the ruffles edged with lace, and in which nestled a butterfly bow of the green silk, beautifully jeweled. ‘The New York papers announce the re- turn of Mrs. and Miss Bonaparte, and that the marriage of the latter to Count von Moltke-Hintfield may take place at New- port.

Barnes'of Chevy Chase’ The marriage was the fitting sequel of a genuine summer romanée. Mr. Frisble is a_clerk in the Treatury Department and Mi: Barnes is the pretty daughter of a ‘armer near Chevy Chase. Mr. Frisbie se- cured board in the vicinity of Chevy Chase about six weeks ago and fell desperately in love with Miss Barues the very first he saw of her. The feeling was fully recip- recated, and after a few. days’, courtship their engagément was announced. The marria, took place Saturday afternoon and was largely attended by residents of Chevy Chase and Washingtonians who are summering in that vicinity, all of whom have watched the case with great interest from the first.

The marine hospital bureau 1s informed by the United States consul at Cardenas, Cuba, that there were twenty-two cases and nine deaths from yellow fever in that city during the two Weefs ended July 20. ‘The United States consul at Matanzas re- ports that there weré*100 cases of yellow fever and one death from smallpox during the week ended July 15. Yellow fever, he says, ts confined to Spanish troops. The fever is equally prevalent and fatal in oth- er provinces of Cuba, and is proving more disastrous to the Spanish forces than the bullets and machetes of the insurgents. Dr. Caminero, sanitary inspector at San- tiago de Cuba, says that the sanitary con- dition of that province shows no improve- ment, there having been 118 deaths from yellow fever and smalipox during the week ended July 18. He says that yellow fever is becoming yery prevalent among the sol- diers, and there are now over 100 cases un- der treatment at the military hospital. The disease has taken a most malignant type, and death is the invariable result in all the cases. Smallpox {s also increasing, and the high temperature experienced within the last few weeks seems favorable to the de- velopment of the disease, MR. BLAINE’S SPEECH Silver Men Making Use of Two Para- graphs From It. HOW If WORKED IN MINNESOTA Republican Committee Sending Out the Whole Effort. ee eS WHAT MR. TAWNEY —— ae SAYS In the United States Senate, February 7, 1878, Mr. James G. Blaine of Maine deliv- ered a speech upon the bill then pending to authorize the free coinage of the standard silver dollar and to restore its legal tender value. This speech is now being revamped by both the silver men and the gold advo- cates in the pending campaign, and por- tions of the speech are used in support of free silver coinage and of the gold standard. Mr. Blaine handled the subject from the standpoint of a bimetallist, and therefore his remarks taken in part in certain places and without the qualification of the suc- ceeding paragraphs can be construed in a meaning exactly opposite to the sentiment expressed in another portion. After pay- ing tribute to the value of silver in the monetary system of this country and de- ploring its demonetization, he declares against the adoption of the single silver standard. He then opposes just as vigor- ously the single gold standard and ex- presses the desire that silver might be re- monetized, but deprecates the effort of the United States to attempt this task alone and at the 16 to 1 ratio, and declares that it must be done by international action. Careful reading of Mr. Blaine’s specch shows that in the summary of his conten- tions he places himself substantially in the position that is now taken by the republi- can party through the declarations of the St. Louis platform, whick pledges the party to endeavor to secure international _bi- metallisin, and which opposes independent free coinage cf silver at 16 to 1. Free Si Men's Work. The free silver men have exiensively cir- culated throughout the west some quota- ticns from that speech of Mr. Blaine. ‘This is done in the form of small handbills con- taining two paragraphs from the spcech, as follows: “I believe gold and silver coin to be the money of the Constitution—indeed, the mcney of the American people anterior to the Constitution—which that great organic law recognized as quite independent of its own existence. No power was conferred on Congress to declare that either metal should not be money. Congress has, there- fcre, In my judgment, no power to de- monetize silver any more than to demone- tize gold; no power to demonetize either any more than to demonetize both. “Few persons can be found, I apprehend, who will maintain that Congress possesses the power to demonetize both gold and sil- ver or that Congress could be justitied in prohibiting the coinage of gold; and yet in logic and legal construction it would be difficult to show where and why the power of Congress over silver is greater than over gold, greater over either than over the two. If, therefore, silver has been derone- tized, I'am In favor of remonetizing it. If its coinage has been prohibited Iam in favor of ordering it to be resumed. If it ricted I am in favor of having This was the phrase from Mr. Blaine’s remarks which the free silver people have set up, alone and unqualified by subsequent expression, and have cast it broadside through the west as words from the lips of one of the greatest republicans who ever lived, indorsing their position. It was ex- pected to work well among the silver re- publicans and prove the clinching bolt in the argument to fasten them io the free silver ticket. Counteracting Its Effect. The republican congressional committee was informed a week ago of the circulation of these one-sided selections from Mr. Blaine’# speech, and proceeded at once to counteract the effect by causing the dis- tribution of the whole speech with the qualifying remarks. Representative Tawney of Minnesota, who is in the city, tells a story showing the effect of the misrepresentation in one case. Minnesota is a great Blaine state, you know,” said Mr. Tawney, “and any utter- ance of that statesman receives attention. I heard that 2 prominent republican in my section was talking of voting the Bryan and Sewall ticket. I went to him and asked him what on earth he meant by such talk ilver is all right,’ he said, ‘and you fellows are wrong.’ “Why do you think so? I asked. “I am with Blaine on this question. He was for sllver, and his opinion 1s good enough for any republ:can to follow.” “With that the fellow dragged out of his pocket one of these democratic handbills and quoted Blaine on me, triumphantly. I told him he had been imposed upon, and then produced the speech in full. He quick- ly discerned the true position of Blaine, and became furious with his democratic ‘mis- informers. “If they will He about one thing they will lie about another,’ he said, and with that he has taken the stump for the re- publican platform, as stated by Blaine and reiterated by the St. Louis convention.” ae ee ee GUESTS AT ST. GEORGE'S, Washingtonians Enjoying Themselves on the Potomac. Correspondence of The Evening Star. ST. GEORGE'S ISLAND, St. Mary’s county, Md., August 2, 1896. This place is one of the liveliest on the Potomac Although many cottages were built this season, still there is a great de- mand for more. Some ten or more parties who came down on last Saturday’s boat were unable to get accommodations. There are no less than tweaty sail boats kept busy during day and night. Fishing has been very successful. Sheepshead of large size are being caught daily. Those who have not been here for two or more years will be surprised at the new pler, at which all the river landing boats stop. This does away with the old plan by which visitors had to be brought across the river from Piney Point at 2 and 3 o'clock at night. ‘This pier is the longest on the Fotorvac, extending four hundred and fifty yards or more, and makes an inviting promenade in the evening. i Those who are now here from Washing- ton are the following: Mr. Daniel Donovan, Andrew Taff and daughter, Mr. Henry J.Gross and wife, Mr. and Mrs. Jackson, Mr. A.

Pattison of Pennsylvania said today in answer to a question as to whether he would support the Chicago nominees and the platform: “Unquestionably, and I shall do my part as a citizen to bring success to the candi- dates.” In speaking of a probability of a further defection among the presidential electors in Pennsylvania, he said: “If any gentle- man named as an elector feels that he can- not obey the mandate of his party, he ought to withdraw without being asked.” PENNSYLVANIA DEMOCRATS Many Old Leaders Repndiate the Chicago Ticket and Platform. Others Accept the Candidnates— Chauncey F. Black’s Address a Plea for Bryan and Sewall. The Pennsylvania democrats are as se- riously divided as are those of any state in the Union. Many of the old leaders re- pudiate the Chicago ticket and platform outright. Col. McClure and Mr. Singerly, like Mr. Harrity, are taking to the woods— unwilling to support the ticket, but equally unwilling to ally themselves with the re- publicans. But there are still others— sound money men before the Chicago con- vention—who will not leave their party on the currency question, and who accept Bryan and Sewall as their candidates. Mr. Black’s Ponit! In this class is Mr. Chauncey F. Black president of the democratic so 3 of Pennsylvania, and president also of the National Associaticn of Democratic Clubs. Mr. Black took the position months ago in an interview printed in The Star that the currency question ought not to be per- mitted to divide the democratic party. At that time appearances indicated that the und money men would be in control at hicago, and Mr. Black came forward with a compromise proposition on the sub- ject of the presidential veto, designed to placate the silver men and keep them from bolting. He advocated the rule of the ma- jority. Now that the boot is on the other leg end silver is in control, he accepts the party's decision and will work for the suc- vers of the ticket. Hix Address on the Subject. Mr. Black’s position, and that of his us- soclates, is defined in an address, >opies of which have just been received here, issued by the executive committee of the demo- cratic societies of Pennsylvania. It ts drawn by Mr. Black, and it goes at length ‘into the subject. He takes the ground that the present movement of the national de- mecracy “implies no danger to any legiti- mate interests. It is founded upon sound republican principles. It is moderate, con- servative, democratic. Of the great and in- creasing host en din it, the ord ing and liberty-loving democratic ns of the United States are the bulk and pro- pelling fore Hope for Bryan and Sewall. The address, which is signed by Mr. Black as president, concludes as follows. “Now that the issues are clearly pre- sented, Is there any just reason to doubt the patriotism of the voters of this state more than of others? We do not think so. On the centrary, we know that, with a thorough organization and earnest and united effort, many legislative and con- onal districts now held by the mo- nopolists may be redeemed, and we are not without strong hopes that the ¢ : votes of this great industrial wealth may be placed with those of the majority—for Bryan and Sewall. The great popular tide rising and rushing from ail quarters of the Union has not broken and turned aside upon the boundaries of Penn- sylvania. It is sweeping through this state as well. Our reports are of the most en- couraging description. The interests of the people here are the same as the interests of the people elsewhere. All we shall need to array a majority of the voters of Penn- sylvania against the common enemy, that to say, the trusts and monopolies, Syndi- ated upon the other side, is an efficient organization which will reach the people in their home districts, appeal to their manhood and patriotism and bring them, on election day, to the polls.”” Its Possible Effect. Very likely, it ts thought, the body of this ad¢ress—that portion arguing the case and appealing for democratic unity and activ- ity—will be adopted by the National Asso- ciation of Democratic Clubs and issued as @ national campaign document. Mr. Black's position as president of the national asso- ciation gives it importance. —__-2—_______ HE SAW THE RED LIGHT. ommon- Engineer Farr Vainly Tried to Stop the Reading Train. The most important statement with ref- erence to the causes of the fearful railway accident of lest Thursday evening at At- lantic City was made yesierday at Camden by John K. Macallister of the former city. Mr. Macalister 19 a well-known New Jersey railroad engineer, a prominent mem- ber of several societies and a thoroughly reliable man. He was in attendance at the funcral of his old friend, Engineer Edward Farr of the Reading express train, who was killed in the wreck. To a Philadelphia Press reporter Mr. Macallister said: “I visited the scene of the wreck as soor: as I learned of it, and very naturally began at once to examine the engine. I found that Engineer Farr had done all he could to stop his train, for the ir valve was wide open and the reversing var was thrown back as far as it would sterday afternoon my deductions were confirmed by a talk I had with Fireman Halihan. He told me that he was the first to see the signal Magging the train. He said he turned to the engineer and re- marked: ‘Ed, the red is on.” Halihan fur- ther said thot immediately Engineer Farr threw open the air valve and reversed the engine.” “Did the fireman say that the distance was too short in which to bring the train to a stop, or that the air brakes were in poor working order?” Mr. Macallister was asked. “No; he did not make any such state- ment, but I believe he would have told the truth if he fad. I have known Ed. Farr for years, and besides what I saw with my own eyes 1 am sure he did everyth in his power to avoid the smash. —— DOVER CITIZENS INT! RFE! RE. y to Ask for the Liberation of the Single Taxers. A Dover, Del., special to the Philadeiphia Times, dated yesterday, say: At last night’s single tax meeting the biggest crowd of the year gathered to hear the speakers, and the weary constables, acting under orders from the mayor, made no arrests, The men who are opposed to the new movement paid small boys to blow tin horns and otherwise raise a ra2ket, and the town officials actually gave the young- sters a permit to make all the noise they pleased. Tne permit was for a parade, but there was no line of march except that round and round the box on which the speakers stood. The scheme was a fail- ure. Some of the best and oldest residents of Dover have joined in a call for a mass meeting of citizens in the court house, and it is probable that resolutions will be pass- ed asking that the score of single taxers now in jail be released and permitted to continue their campaign in their own way. This will not suit the opposition element at all and trouble is certain to follow if the agitation is kept up. The single taxers are jubilant and claim to have a big majority on_ their side. The speakers last night were Haines D. Albright and Leonard Tuttle, and they were very much surprised when they es- caped arrest. They visited their fellows in the Kent county jail. os Andree’s Balloon Voyage Velayed. News has been received at Stockholm from Spitzbergen that Prof. A. S. Andree’s balloon had been filled and was ready to start July 27. The Virgo, with Prof. Andree, his two companions and his apparatus on board, sailed from Tromsoe June 15. Since June 22 the expedition has been established in Pike's House, in the northern half of West Spitzbergen, opposite Dane's Island. The stores and equipment had already been dis- embarked and the position was considered favorable. As the explorer had planned that his preparations would all be com- pleted and his balloon filled by the first week in July, it seems probable that some unexpected obstacle has been met with in completing the preparations. It was, how- ever, a part of the plan to wait for favor- able conditions—that is, a clear day when a brisk south, or nearly south, wind was blowing. CHRISTIAN ENDEAVO!

A female Mexican bull snake at Lin- coln Park, Chicago, has surprised the professors of natural histery at the Academy of Sciences by laying the large mber of twenty-one eggs. The madam, with her mate, Colonel, was sent to the park commissioners June 26 by Mr. Hathaway of Texas. The eggs are very much like hen eggs, and also about the same size. They weigh about five ounces each. The eggs were later removed from the cage, to be put on the roof, to allow exposure to the sun for the purpose of in- cubation. navy; Scott, Witte bury, Orang Winchester, Bugey Manufacturers Fail.
