The Carlisle Family Enjoying a Vaca- Uon at Marion—Personal ; Notes. Mrs. William Jennings Bryan has evi- dently brought trunk loads of clothes for wear during her eastern trip, and her se- lections, judging by what she has already worn, are in excellent taste, Yesterday mcrning, for breakfast and to receive early visitors, she wcre ecru muslin, ruffled with white lace. Littie bows of white taffeta ribbon nestled among the frills and one at the back of her jace collar looked like a butterfly. A single American beauty Tose was stuck in her white ribbon sash, tied in a long bow, with ends at the back. For the reception, later on, she wore a Stylish combination ef black silk erepon, as thin almost as grenadine, and shot gray blue taffeta. The latter formed the back- ground, producing a charming iridescent effect through the sheer crimped figures brocading the outside material. The skirt hung in deep, full plaits, and was devoil of ail trimming. A plastron of white satin was arranged on the bodice, veiled with white chiffon covered with white lace applique. A jet collar was fin- ished with a black satin butterfly bow. The sleeves showed small puffs, quite high on tMe shoulders, in accordance with the new style, and came well down on io her hands, where they were cut in a deep point, frilled on either side with white lace. A black satin belt encircled her waist, and was finished in the back with a black but- terfly. Mrs. Stewart, wife of Senator Stewart, had a part in the reception also. She was dressed in black silk trimmed with jet and lace. She carried a small reticule on her arm, and wore a bonnet made up of big bunches of white tulle and clumps of vio- lets. Secretary and Mrs. Carlisle arrived at Marion, Mass., yesterday and will be the guesis of Assistant Secretary and the Miss- es Hamlin for the next fortnight.

ROCK ENON SPRINGS, Va., August 13, 1896. This old-time resort—the successor of the “Capper Springs,” famous for nearly a cen- tury—is still a favorite resort of Washing- tonians, as attested by its register. It is also a deserved favorite with Baltimoreans, there being many guests here from the “monumental city.” As of old, there are plenty of diversions to interest everybody, and, with the fine swim- ming pool and baths, everybody fs contented and happy. The thermometer reached an unprecedented figure here Sunday—95—but the nights remain cool. The guests are promised a great treat next week, in the shape of a water-polo contest between a team from Rock Enon, captained by Col. Fred. W. Eberly of Washingion, who has just returned from a salmon-killing trip in Canadian waters and a “summer-girl” trip along the coast of Maine, and a team from Capon, captained by a Baltimore “un- known,” possibly a lady. The costumes and prizes will be very original, and after the contest is settled it will be followed by a fancy dress bull at either Capon or Rock Enon. Among the Washington guests are: Mrs.M. I. Bennett, Miss Florence C. Kennett, Mrs. W. W. Anderson, Mrs. Mary B. Anderson, Mr. C. B. Keferstein and wife, Maj. Walter Gwynn, Miss H. L. Burke, Mrs. E. K.

A tournament is talked of, to take place about the 22d, under the patronage of Col. Eberly and Major Robert Johnson of Nor- folk, Va., both of whom are expert riders, to be followed by a joint debate in the even- ing between a “silverite” from Back Creek Valley and a “gold-bug” from Winchester. A Town Site Fight Settled. A long contest is practically ended by the action of Acting Secretary of the Interior Reynolds today in awarding to the city of Guthrie, Okla., lands in block 55 of that city, as against Thomas D. Hance, An- drew Frink and William Lowe, the last of the claimants. Numerous parties have fig- ured in the case, and much conflicting evi- dence has been filed. Miss K4 7 COUNTERFEITING SILVER DOLLARS, A Transaction Said to Be Engaged in by Two America: Guatemalan. Treasury agents have been instructed te investigate a report of extensive coun- terfeiting of standard silver dollars in Guatemala, or one of the other Central American states. The matter was brought to the attention of the Secretary of the Treasury by Mr. Ransom, U. S. minister to Mexico, through the medium of the Mexican Herald, a newspaper published in the City of Mexico. According to that Paper two young Americans in one of the Certral American states, presumably Gua- temala, have been for some time purchas- ing native silver dollars at the current Price of about 50 cents each, and coining them into American dollars to be put upon the market. It is intimated that the ex- tent of the fraud has already reached the sum of $2,500,000, but the details of the affair as set forth in the newspaper are quite meager. Minister Ransom evidently has no f1.formation on the subject h for he sends none to the Treasury I ment, and in the absence of Secretary C r lisle the letter was perfunctorily referred t the secret service bureau. Nothing what- ever is known abcut the matter there, but arrangements have been made to inve: gate it. In view of the fact that Central American doliars in question con- tain more silver than the American dollar and are worth but half as much under the Present gold standard it would appear that their unlawful recoinage into American dollars might prove a profitable transac- tion. Regardless of the intrins'c valuc of Such foreign coins their manufacture into n imitation of the American dollar is a Violation of the laws against counterfelt- ing and such offenses are subject to se- vere penalties, In case the report in the Mexican paper is true there will be ao dif- ficulty in inflicting legal punishment upon the two young men in question in the event of their capture and conviction. Coun- terfeiting is included in the list of extra- Gitable offerses in the treaties between the United States and most of the Central American states. —-: Trunks Held for Ronrd.
