DOES LOVE LEVEL ALL RANKS? Secretary and Mrs. Alger Enter- tain the Woodfords. WHERE FOLKS ARE — oe Gossip as to the alleged matrimonial in- tentions of several prominent young cou- ples has taken a most charming form late- ly and with substantial supports. They are stay-at-home people, too, which is another satisfactory indication that there are just as good fish to be caught at home as at any other summer resort. Trosseaux now in process of development will dazzle our eyes throughout the early autumn and give us a number: of brand-new things to talk about. A senatorial engagement and the marriage of a Philadelphia Cadwalader and a chambermaid are two widely contrasted exhibitions of what the little god Cupid can do when properly worked up in warm weather. It is just possible that the show- ers of congratulations which the approach- ing marriage of the North Dakota senator and the charming young lady of his choice have evoked, are not as copious over in the Quaker city, where hitherto Biddles have married Biddles, Potters have united with Potters, and Cadwaladers; well, there never was anything quite good enough for them. Perhaps the couple can get along without the applause of the exclusive set to which the head of the house belongs, and it will be an interesting study in class distinctions to see if this marriage will ever be forgiven, even if it did take place in the silly season. The chances are that Mrs. Bridget Mary Ryan Cadwalader has no easy time ahead, and that her lord and master will not be able to convert his friends over to his way of thinking as rapidly as he did his pretty serving maid from the Kerry hills. Mr. Charles J. Bell’s family have been at Hull, Mass., but have now gone to Cape Breton. z Mrs. Thyson and Miss Thyson will leave early the coming week for Montreal, where they will spend several months. Miss Alger has been visiting the Misses Gary this week at their summer home at Catonsville, Md. Representative Sprague’s wife and fam- ily are settled in their cottage at Narra- gansett for the summer. Mr. C. F. Fox Adams, the new secretary of the British embassy, will be In charge during the absence of Sir Julian Paunce- fote. The embassy headquarters for the summer has been established at Manches- ter-by-the-Sea, and the younger members of the staff are now there. Senator and Mrs. Fairbanks have taken the Van Wyck house, 18th and Massachu- setts: avenue. Mrs. Guzman, who ts now convalescin: rapidly from her recent severe iline: pects to spend the month of Augus Manchester-by-the-Sea, a summer resort of which she is very fond. The Mexican minister and Mrs. Romero and the Venezuelan minister and Miss And- rade will leave Monday for Long Branch. Mrs. W. H. Hall is at Twilight Park, Haine's Falls, N. Y., for the summer. Mrs. Howard O. Cook is at Atlantic City, accompanied by Mr. and Mrs. Wm. H. White and Mrs. M. Curtis. A quiet, pretty wedding was that of Miss Edna Stevens and Mr. J. W. Herberson, at the home of Rey. Hervie Outwater, Mon- day evening, the 12th instant. The bride wore cream silk mull trimmed with white watered ribbon, and carried a shower bou- quet of bride roses. Immediately after the ceremony Mr. and Mrs. Herberson left for a two months’ sojourn in Montgomery county, Md. Secretary and Mrs. Alger entertained Gen. Stewart L. Woodford, minister to Spain; Mrs. Woodford and Miss Woodford at dinner last evening. There were no other guests. Mr. and Mrs.aJohn C. Bentley of Cloverly farm, Sandy Spring, Md., received abcut one hundred and seventy-five of their rela- tives and friends Thursday evening, the nth anniversary of their wedding. Bentley wore her bridal attire of tin and lace, a beautiful and be- cuming gown, which was not as totally dif- ferent frcm the present style as might have been supvosed. The parlors were testefully decorated with hemlock, cle- matis, sweet peas and nasturtiums, and the long hall with hollyhocks in great va- riety. Japanese lanterns were hang all around the house, end refreshments were served on tables under the trees. The presents, numbering several hundred, were both valuable and usful, ranging from elegant cut glass pitchers, bowls and vases to lamp chimneys, canned fruit and even a bag of marbles for John, jr.

Willlam Joyce, a young man whe has been in trcuble several times because of his alleged distonesty, was arrested last night by Detectives Boyd and Helan and lccked up on charges of false pretenses. His mother, who has done so much for kim, and spent considerable money to keep him out of prison, is almost broken-hearted, but she still wants to protect him. While living at the Hillman House he was ar- rested for stealing some bells, and was fined $10. In other cases brought against him he was put under bends not to repeat the offense. His arrest last night was vhe result of the issuance of two warrants charging crookedness. One warrant alleged that ne had forged the name of W. Perry to check for $42, which he tendered in pay- ment for a purchase of goods from the firm of A. D. Clark & Company, on Mat ket space. These goods he had sent to C. W. Smith, Hotel Kilrain, Baltimore, mark- ed “To be called for.” ‘The bill amounted to $8, and the defendant was given $24 in change. The other complaint was made by Cray- ercft & Byrne, grocers, on C street near the Baltimore and Ohio depot. This mor: ing Joyce was photographed for the gal- lcry, and was afterward arraigned in court. He asked for a continuance, for the reasu that his mother had not yet made arrang: ments with his attorncy. His request was granted, and the case was set for Tuesday. _— AN UNLAWFUL PRACTICE, Shipping Grain Part Way by Local and Part by Through Rates, Commissioner Prouty of the interstate commerce commission has announced his decision in the matter of alleged unlawful rates and practices in the transportation of grain and grain products by the Atchi- son, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway Com- pany and others. Shipments of grain we carried to Kansas City, Mo., from points west thereof by local rates, and quantities of grain were afterward reshipped and re- billed from Kansas City to Chicago or other destinations at the balance of the established through rate from the original point of shipment to Chicago or other vl- timate destinations, instead of the hi local rat in force from Kansas City such destination. It was held that si shipment and reshipment did not cor tute a through shipment from the point of origin to the point of final destination, and grain so shipped and reshipped was not entitled to the benefit of the through rate in force. It was further held that the shipment from the point of origin to Kan- sas City was local, resulting th the grain becoming Kansas City grain, and the fact that it had come from a point farther west was no reason for applying on shipments of such grain from Kansas City any less or different rate than was in force f2om Kansas City. No opinion upon the practices of milling or reconsigning or holding in transit, if the shipment 1s a through shipment uj-on a through rate, is expressed. ee CHANGES IN POSTMASTERS. The Number About the Last Administra e as im the ‘The number of changes made in pres! dential post offices between March 4 and July 7, according to the official figures of the Post Office Department, was 416. For the similar period the changes during the last administration were 429. Of the num- ber under the present regime the changes at 66 offices were based on resignations, 136 on expirations of the commissions of incumbents, 126 on removals, 73 by reason of the office being raised to the presiden- tial class, and 15 on deaths of the post- masters. Included in the total are 78 cases in which changes were due to reporis of post office inspectors. The largest number of changes (34) were made in Indiana, with Illinois a close second with 32. The total number of presidential post offices on July 1 was 3,741. ——e. Heavy Surf at Belmar. Special Correspondence of The Evening Star. BELMAR, N. J., July 15, 1897. By far the most interesting feature of the week, especially to the summer visi- tors from the interior of the country, was the magnificent exhibition of breakers which old Neptune treated them to on Tuesday and Wedresday. The storm was the heaviest known here of a summer since the one of August, 1890. The surf came rolling ia fifteen feet high upon the board- walk and adid considerable damage to it, and also to the ocean boulevard. ‘The summerites turned out in full force to see the spectacle—women as well as men—in the driving storm. Belmar ts evidently going to maintain its record as the champion euchre-playing town on the Jersey coast. The sport has started up at the hotels very briskly. A half dozer. parties are in progress this evening. There are also elaborate full- dress hops at a dozen of the big hotels. —_-.__ She Declined the Seat. From the Omaba World-Herald. A funhy scene was enacted on a Dodge street car a few evenings since. The car was very crowded, and a young man was seated upon the lap of another young man. When the car stopped at 16th a charming young lady entered and looked about for a seat. The young man who had a seat upon the lap of his friend forgot his position. Rising from his seat, he bowed to the young lady and said: ‘Take my seat, miss.”” The young lady blushed, the young man suddenly remembered where he had been sitting, and the young man still seated nearly fainted. ——— eee ___ It matters little what it is that you want whether a situation person who PROFITED BY A MISTAKE. Novel Experience of a Man W! Deuble. There are two men in Washington who look much alike, and amusing mistakes oc- cur nearly every day with one or the other On account of the resemblance. Recently one of the two told a Star reporter of a number of his experiences which were due to his being mistaken for the other man. One of these is of rather an extraordinary nature, and it is very fortunate to him that the mistake occurred. He told the story as follows: “One summer night I attended the theater with @ young lady. Tt Was a performance, I remember, early in the summer, at one of those times which occur very often here in Washington when we are thrown sud- denly from winter into real summer. “I had not been at all well that day, and should not have gone to the theater; but I thought I felt strong enough to do so. I began to feel tll immediately after we took our seats. I did not care to disturb my companion, and thought I would await the close of the performance, so I remained in my seat. When the first part was through I was so faint that I was obliged to men- tion it, and the lady and 1 went outside. We were standing in the lobby of the theater, waiting to go home, when a coachman, dressed in handsome livery, approached me. He spoke respectfully, and said: “My, but you are looking badly tonight. You must be sick, sir. You look as if you wouldn't be able to get home.” “I told him I had been taken suddenly ill, and he expressed considerable concern, all in @ perfectly respectable manner, and as if he had known me for years. He looked at me a little, as if making up his mind, and then said: “I'll tell you what I will do, sir. The senator's carriage is Just outside, and I know he won't be out for some time.
