October Brides, Orange Blossoms a! Other Timely Topics—rer- sonal Notes. The clans are gathering home again in spite of the fact that a deadly dullness pre- vails, and some of the most active of the social rulers are not expected for a month or two yet. One can feel the impulse cre- ated by the returned travelers along the line of domestic routine, at the butcher’s and the baker’s, but just as great as at any cther point, at the bicycle schools. These necessary finishing departments of an up- tc-date curriculum, are turning out fresh scholars every week, to add to the ever in- creasing number of enthusiasts on the wheel. ‘ There is no Question but that the fall is the most desirable of all seasons for those sociably disposed, but who do not care par- ticularly for the regulation dress-up winter events. The weather is just right for both outdoor and indoor enjoyments, and in con- sequence many of those who hi after half of September was p because even: the quiet of the cap preferable to a longer separation trom their home comforts.

There are all sorts of rumors as to the prospects of the winter. That it will not be unduly gay seems a foregone conclusion. This belief is strengthened by the fact that several of the residents who ordi- narily contribute largely Testal round will not be here. This breac’ be more thzn made up by the new-com: and especially by one or two who have been quietly looking on for a couple of seasons and are suspected of having am- bitions of social distinction, with abundant ability to carry them out in good style. The administration families, with perhaps a few exceptions, cannot be expected to do very much and are planning very little to that end. December will witness the usual budding forth of the new cand for society's smiles—the debutantes. The list, as last year, will be largely made up from the residential families, and will be, as always, unusually interesting from any point you view it. Next month, so far as its earlier part is concerned. will show up pretty well in the wedding line. A number of interesting events are set for dates in the first fort- night, and invitatiors in large number: already abroad. The wedding of Miss S ley and Lieutenant Holbrook October 1 will be solemnized in the Soldiers’ Home Chapel. Weddings among the officers’ families at the home have seldom occurred in this chapel, and if there be pleasant weather for this one it will be an ideally beautiful affair. If moonlight illumines the scene, such as happened several times last week, the romantic surroundings, to say nothing of the general comfort and satisfaction, will be perfect. Wednesday evening next, at the re: of Mr. and Mrs. F. Freund, their son, Fred- erick, and Miss Edith M. Stull will be mar- ried by Rev. Dr. Rodgers. Mr. Harry Freund will be best man, and Miss Blanche Armstrong will be maid of honor. A ban- quet, enlivened by the Marine Band, will follow the ceremony. Other weddings are those of Miss Carrie C. Clarke and Captain Guy E. Jenkins of the National Guard, October 6, M Taylor and Mr. Robert Mor) Wednesday afternoon, October 7, and on the same date, but a morning event, that of Miss Bessie Stanton Lawton and Mr. .

Mr. Blanco is the chief of the Mexican boundary engineering com- mission and his work in that connection has nearly been completed. Both Mr. and Mrs. Blanco are enthusiastic cyclists and have spent many pleasant hours on_the suburban roads around this city.

Its Report Delay H The report of the Venezuelan commission, ajpoinied last January to investigate the British-Venezuelan boundary-line dispute, Probably will be made to the President shortly before Congress convenes in De- mber. It was expected that the report ht be ready by November 1, but compll- cations in connection with the work im Holland has caused delay. Justice Brewer, the chairman of the commission, has called @ meeting of the commission for October 9. The material collected in Spain by the British and Venezuelan governments rela- tive to the original Spanish possessions im the territory in dispute, and the material om the propaganua at Rome where the records of the old Catholic missions are kept, is In the possession of tne commis- s.on. The prospective delay will be incl dent to the work of Professor Baer, whe has been charged with the task of ransack- ing the Dutch archives in Holland. Profes- sor Baer was instructed to make a most thorough search for everything that migut have a bearing on the subjeci, and to ob- tain accurate copies of all documents. iis investigations led him to London. Justice wrewer yesterday received a cablegram from him saying that nis werk in London bad been completed, and that he would re turn to Holland, but could not finish befure the middle of October. With the submis ston of the report to the i’resident the com> mission's werk ceases. oe Executive Clemency. The President has granted a pardon ia the case of J. W. Phillips, convicted in Alabama of illicit distilling, and sentenced April 23, 1886, to fifteen months’ imprison- ment and $100 fine, the prisoner being tn an advanced stage of consumption. The application made in the case of C. N. Chisolm, convicted in Georgia of coun- terfeiting, for restoration to rights of citi- zenship, has been denied. The President ays that he is usually quite willing to tore rights of citizenship to those who have been convicted of crime, and, after having suffered punishment, appear in time to redeem their characters and live honest ives, but that in most cases of this kind @ term of probation is required as a test of the sincerity of their professions of reform- ation. In this particular case, however, he says the character of the crime precludes clemency. To Try Lieut. W headed jams. A court-martial, Col. Simon by: Snyder, 19th Infantry, has been ordered to meet at tober fh, Fort Wayne, Mich., Monday, Oo- for the trial of Lieut. Wm. M.
