THE WORLD OF SOCIETY Farewell Courtesy to a Popelar Young Lady, Miss Davis Will Entertain for Her Fature Sister—Rev. Mr. Matthews’ Wedding—Notes. Miss Davis, 1306 Roanoke street, Colum- bia Heights, will give a tea Thursday, May 20, at 5 o'clock to meet Miss Barber. A notable event in Glendale, near Cin- cinnati, Tuesday last was the marriage of Miss Elsie Procter, davghter of Mr. and Mrs. William A. Precter, to Rev. Paul Clement Matthews, son of the late Justice Matthews, rector of St. Luke's Episcopal Church. The ceremony took place at high noon in the Glendale Episcopal Church, Right Rev. Bishop Vincent, Rev. Dr. Peter Tinsley and Dr. Benedict officiating. After the church service a wedding breakfast was served at the magnificent home of the bride’s parents, and fully 200 guests en- joyed the hospitalities. The decorations of the church and house were all in pink and white flowers from private conservatories. The bride was gowned in superb white satin, cut high in the throat, and trimmed with rare old point. Her veil fell grace- fully the length of the train, and her bou- quet was a huge bunch of bride roses. Miss Ellen Jackson and Miss Pattie Jackson of Richmond, Ind., and Miss Matthews, all in gowns of pink flowered organdie, with big hats trimmed in pink roses, preceded the bride down the aisle. Miss Bessie Proc- ter was the charming maid of honor. Her gown was green and white organdie, with hat to match. Rev. Mr. Matthews is well known here. Mr. I. N. Just of South Lyon, Mich., is visiting his sister, Mrs. Sara K. Spencer, 120 5th street southeast. Mrs. Burnham, wife of Captain Burn- ham, is at Atlantic City. The captain and their son, Mr. Ralph Burnham, expect to join her there. Mrs. R. F. Baker left town today for a short sojourn at Old Point Comfort. Senator Roach and family have moved to Chestnut avenue, Takoma Park, for the summer. Mrs. Scott of Richmond, widow of R. T. Scott, consul to Brazil in Buchanan's ad- ministration, is at 1234 13th street. She is on her way to visit her daughter, in Chi- cago. ee CHURCHMEN’S LEAGUE. Annual Meeting and the Business Transacted. At Epiphany Charch last night the an- nual meeting of the Churchmen’s Leaguc was held. Reports trom the various offi- cers showed that the league was in a pros- perous condition. According to the report of the executive committce, read by the secretary, Edward F. Leoker, since the last meeting there had been one death and three resignations. Five free lectures had been given. The membership was 268. Fif- teen applications for membership, among them being that of Engineer Commissioner Black, were repcrted by the committee on nominations, and the persons named were elected. Frem the committee on Sunday observ- ance, Rey. Dr, Eliott, the chairman, stated that neither house of Congress had taken action on the Dill introduced in the last Congress. In his opinion a lay- man could do no more efficient work as chairman of a committee than a minister, and he moved that the change be made. The motion was adopted, and W. T. Young was appointed chairman of the committee, Dr. Elliott being retained as a member of the committee. A communication from the secretary of the conference of church clubs in New York, in regard to an organic union of clubs all over the United States, was read. The suggestion that a constitution be adopted and that delegates be sent to a convention, to be held in Cincinnati in February, 1808. was referred to the ex- ecutive committee for action and a report to the league. The following officers were elected: P ident. Melville Church; vice presidenis, J. Davi: Looker; treasuré: committee,- Lewis . Aspinwall, Josiah B. Per- A H, Elliott, Arthur S. Browne, Henry Cc. Whitirg and Edward F. Looker. An address was delivered by Bishop Sat- terlee, who spoke in terms of commenda- tior of the work accomplished by the league. cil Clay, John A. Kasson, Lew F. secretary, Edward w. = WEIGHTS AND MEASURES. Mr. Werner Replies to Charges Made by Mr. Bond. ‘To the. Editor. of The Evening Star: Knowlrg that you are always fair and just in your dealings and are willing to rublish both sides, I wish to reply to the statement of Mr. Bond before the Com- missicners to the effect that I had been giving “very short weight” at the Soldiers’ Heme, and had appealed to him repeated- ily to get me out of the scrape,, and for that reason wanted him removed. Mr. Bond shows his entire ignorance of what he is talking about, and is now trying to cover his neglect by malicious misrepresen- tation, as any fair-minded person can see frem the following facts: The Soldiers’ Home buy their coal de- livered at their grounds and weighed on their own scales by a government weigher, and after welghing same, make out a tick- et giving the weight and kind of coal. I do not fvrnish them with any weights at all, I accept the. weights as recorded on their owr. scales, and only discovered a difference in weights from my own private weight sheet, consequently how covld I be accused of giving “very short weigats” in the werds of Mr. Bond? The reason of Mr. Bcnd’s attack on me is on account of a statement I made before the Commission- ers a few days ago in advocating the im- portance cf appointing a practical scale builder as sealer of weights and measures instead of a man who knows nothing at all atcut scales. I stated that I discovered a difference between the weights of the Soldiers’ Home and my own; that the as- sistant sealer of weights and measures at my request weighed a load of coal on my scales, then followed the same team to the home and tnere weighed it himself on their scales and found their scales weign- ing short ten to twenty pounds on every 800 pounds us per letter from him in my posession, and notwithstanding that fact pleced a certificate on their scales as be- ing correct when they should have been condemned, as they were used as a stand- ard of weight in weighing my coal, which fact I can prove by Maj. Parker. treasurer of the home, and through Mr. Bond’s own correspondence, as he got me to dictate the letter to Maj. Parker for him to cover his son’s blunder, wh» is his assistant, and in justice to me to see if I could not re- cover fcr the injury I had sustained. I then precured a practical scale builder to examine the home scales, who found a large bolt had slipped through a rotten timber, which permitted the platform to rest on the foundation instead of swinging free. In further. éxpianation I would like to say that I had no personal feelings against Mr. Bond, only knowing there was to be a change in the office I was asked by the Weshington Coal Exchange to be one of a ccmmittee of three to walt upon the Commissioners and give our views.

In the_last appropria- tion bill there. was an item making appro- priation for practically a new boat, and an Alexerdria firm-is now engaged in build- ing a rew hull... This means the sale of the Joe-Blackburn as soon as the Patrol ts completed.

Judge Believed the Charge boned a 85 Fine. “I don’t drink, swear, ehew or smoke,” said Frank Tubbins an oyster dealer at 1718 Pennsyivania avenue, when he ap- Pearec on the witness stand in Judge Milis" court this morning; “and,” ‘he added, “I don’t believe anybody has heard me swear since I've been in business,” Profanity and assault were the charges against him, and Policeman Paul Kersten was the prosecuting witness. It appeared that Mr. Tubbins had been ordered to re- move a manure box from a public alley, and, on Monday of jast week. he inquired of the officer why he had not made others comply with the regulation. This inquiry, the officer thought, was an unwarrantable interference with his af- fairs, and he informed the eyster dealer that if he had any charges to make the police station was the place at which to file them. It was during this subsequent discussion that the officer pliced the mer- chant under arrest for alleged profanity. Mr. Tubbins was in his shirt sleeves, and it was only a short time before he was minus his shirt, for the policeman had pull- ed it off of him. This left his red under- shirt as, the only covering for his body. and persons at a distance had an idea that his white garment had been stained with blood. One of the witnesses was in an ice cream saloon, enjoying some frozen food, while another was in a pool room participating in @ game. Both rushed out and saw part of the trouble. The pool player said that the ee conberntely. tore Mr. Tubbins’ vest nd shirt off, while the - fectiy een latter stood per. “I want some explanation about this bus- iness of tearing off Mr. Tubbins’ clothes,” said the court. “What was Mr. Tubbins doing while the policeman was perform. ing as you descrtbe him to have been?” “Standing perfectly still,” answered the witness. “The policeman pulled off one side of his vest, and then the other, and afterward he pulled the man’s shirt off in strips. The next witness was a bicyclist, and he, too, thought the policeman’s treatment of the man was unwarranted. Up to this time the witnesses had said that Mr. Tub- bins was struck on the wrist by the po- liceman, who used his c! but a young colored man, neatly dressed, appeared on the stand, very much excited, and charged thet the policeman’s club fell against the man’s face and caused blood to come from his ear. The policeman was the only one who claimed to have heard Mr. Tubbins indulge in profanity. This was denied by the de- fendant, and the only other proof affecting this charge was that of witnesses who said they did not hear any swearing. Attorney Lipscomb, who apperred for the defendant, argued that the policeman, whom he characterized as a despot, had ex- ceeded his duty, and he thought his client had been brutally treated. In commenting on the case, the judge said the charge of profanity was sustained, and imposed a fine of $5. The citizen, he said, interfered with the officer, but the resistance in the case did not constitute an assault, and this charge was dismissed. A Pensioner's Death.
