Spec al Correspondence of The Evening Star. CAPON SPRINGS, September 4, 1897. ‘The annual grané ball and banquet given at Capon Thursday evening last by the proprietor proved a brilliant climax to the long series: of handsome entertainments given here during the summer. Both the ball and dining rooms were beautifully decorated with vines, ferns and cut flowers, a feature of the supper being the ‘long tables at ore end of the room, where were set forth huge joints of beef, saddles of mutton, hams end pigs roasted whole, in true old-time Virginia fashion. The guests were received by Mrs, W. H. Sale of Capon, in black brocade and old point lace, as- sisted by Mrs. C. F. Nelson, in black lace over white satin and diamonds.

NO COMPILATION OF TREATIES. ete Senator Lodge’d Hexolution Providing for One Failed. Constantly recurring statements in news | dispatches from Washington to the effect that the resolution reported by Senator Lodge at the end of the late extra ses- sion of Congress providing for a compila- tion of all the treaties now in force hbe- has been created ress reports that ig arena of State at its AGES. Richard Wheeler Held for Trial Upon His Own Admission. Richard A. Wheeler, colored, aged about thirty years, today pleaded guilty of having three wives living, and was held in $1,000 for the action of the grand jury. The arrest was made by Detective Carter. The statement was made to the court that October 31, 1894, Mary Madeline Clark of 618 12th street northwest was married to the defendant by Rev. W. T. Jackson; that October 13 last Wheeler and Rosa Smith of 513 New Jersey avenue northwest were married by Rev. C. C. Mason, and that June 21 last, Wheejer took for his third wife Louisa White of 452 H street north- west, the ceremony being performed by Rev. George W. Lee. Each of the ministers named identified the prisoner as the man he married to the woman who recognized him as her husband. Wheeler ceclined to make any statement, and Judge Kimball simply said “$1,000 bond.” The second wife carried a small babe in her arms and seemed to be very much more distressed at the unfortunate circumstances which have befallen her than were either of the other women. In conversation the first wife said Wheeler treated her well until he grew tired of her; the second said she had no cause until now to complain of Wheeier’s conduct toward her, and the third said Wheeler had treated her like a perfect gentleman. Wheeler has for some time past been em- ployed as a waiter at Dietz’s saloon, on 7th street northwest. When arrested by Detective Carter, Saturday night, and in- formed of the charge against him. Wheeler denied having married more than one wo- man, but when he found that the evidence against him was overwhelming he decided to plead guilty. —_—__ ITS INITIAL RIDE. Washington City Troop Takes a Jaunt to the Country. The maiden ride of the recently organized Washington City Troop took place yes‘er- day afternoon into the adjoining country, under command of Capt. E. H. Pillsbury. Several members of De Molay Mounted Commandery, Knights Templar, accom- panied the troop, there being about twenty- five horsemen in the party. The member- ship of the troop is now within ten or twelve of that required for admission in the District National Guard, and the additional number are expected to soon enlist. Se ee SLASHED HIS THROAT. Peculiar Accident Which Happened to a B. and 0. Conductor. Capt. Bender, one of the conductors on the Royal Blue Line of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad, met with a most peculiar accident Saturday evening, and his escape from fatal injury seemed to be almost miraculous. Shortly after the train left Philadelphia, about 8 p.m., it became necessary, which was very unusual, to take a siding. Capt. Bender alighted and went back toward the rear to see if there was sufficient room on the siding for his train, when he stumbled ard fell on a barbed wire fence, thereby cutting a deep gash, fully an inch long, in his throat. 5 Such assistance as could be rendered to Capt. Bender was promptly given by the train crew, and word of the accident was telegraphed to Dr. I. R. Trimble, the com- peny’s chief surgeon, at Baltimore. Dr. Trimble met Capt. Bender upon the arrivai of his train at Camden station and sewed up the wound. Despite the pain with which he was suf- fering, Capt. Bender stuck to his post and brought the train through to its terminus in Washington. Later, he went to his home in Baltimore, where, yesterday, he was thought to be improving, but was not able for duty. es OFFICER KENNEY'S RETURN. Well-Known Patrolman Comes Home and Explains a Mystery. Policeman William J, Kenney of the first precinct, who disappeared so mysteriously when he got his month’s salary Tuesday, and who has since been dropped from the Police rolls, returned home last night and was ready to go on duty this morning, to find that Policeman J. F. C. Nebb had been promoted to his place. Mrs. Kenney, wife of the officer, was much surprised when her husband walked in the house last night, and his return caused rejoicing in the family. It is explained by his friends that he had been taking morphine to ease pain, and on pay day he took an overdose. The drug so affected him that instead of re- turning home he got on a train and went to Boston, where his sister lives. Not until he reached Boston, it is claim- ed, did he realize what he had done, and he returned on the next train without even calling on his sister. An effort to have him reinstated is being made. ——————— BACHELORS CAN'T BE TRUSTED. Boston Women Resolve That They Are Not Fit for Office. The recent manifesto of Mrs. Charlotte Smith against the bachelor politician has become the subject of much attention from the Woman’s Rescue League of Boston. As a result a set of resolutions was passed, setting forth that “The American bachelor politician shirks his duty to the human family when he fails to provide a home for seme good woman before he engages in the profession of politics, therefore, he is not to be trusted after he has entered a political arena in which temptations sur- round him on all sides, and, that, unfor- tunately, modern society has heretofore given the political bachelor too much lati- tude by ignoring his private life. “Resolved, That as far as practicable a list of bachelor politicians who are aspi- rants for public office be obtained in the states of Massachusetts and New York, and formal protests be sent out against their election or re-election by the Woman's Res- cue League, on the ground that they are ineligible to hold public office.” The league extends its congratulations to ex-Mayor .Edwin Upton Curtis of Bos- ton, on his approaching marriage, and rec- ommends for him a two years’ vacation from politics, in which to enjoy his honey- moon. +e A Hall of Presidents Suggested. To the Editor of The Eveaing Star: In an issue of your paper of a few even- ings ago you refer to the probable uses for the old library ropm of the Capitol. May a stranger offer a suggestion? Why not make of it a hall of Presidents, in which the statue, in marble or bronze, of every President, and these only, shall be placed? Vice Presidents are thus honored in the Senate chamber, but no provision seems to have been made with systematic design as far as the chief magistrates are concerned. The zeal, patriotism and states- manship of our Presidents who have served during periods of profound peace have been as great as those who have gained their renown in war. Then why not honor them with a place in a statue hal) that belongs to the nation, and keep a consecu- tive record of that much of our history in marble? Our history and our prosperity is not a record of half a dozen administra- tions, but of all of them, If the old library room is not suitable or available for such a purpose, why not one of the magnificent rooms of the new Con- gressional Library? A hall of Presidents would be a harmonious filling in of the visi- ble of our country in its capital ity. «NEWCOMER. es NECK BROKEN BY A FALL ‘Mrs. Oaroline Taylor, Well Known Philan- thropist, Almost Instantly Killed. Union Charge of Home for Friendless Girls. Mrs. Caroline Taylor, president of the Woman's Union Christian Association, in charge of the Home for Friendless Colore¢ Girls, was killed yesterday afternoon by falling over the very high embankment on which the home is situated, her neck being broken. The Home for Friendless Colored is located on Erie street, between 17th a 18th streets, Meridian Hill. The buildi is a rickety frame structure, perched the top of a cliff, which has been cut a in the grading of a street, rude steps lead- ing from the street below to the home. As president of the Woman's Union Christian Association, in charge of the home, Mrs. Taylor had, since its humble beginning, about ten years ago, devoted her very life to its welfare and the bi ment and advancement of those f less ones it sheiters. It was her custom to visit the home every Sunday afternoon, and yesterday she called some time t fore 4 o'clock. She conversed with t matron, Mrs. Flint, for some time, ris nd then departed. She walked out on the em- bankment and looked down. Probably Lost Her Bai It is supposed that she was considering at the time the question of providing, out of the very limited resources of the home, suitable steps from the street to the build- ing, the landlord not being willing, it is claimed, to provide them. It is supposed that while looking over the embankment Mrs. Taylor either lost her balance or was attacked by vertigo. She was not seen to fall, and was only discovered when the matron, not noticing her return, child to see where she was. Looking over the embankment, the child was horrified to discover Mrs. Taylor 1 at its foot on her face, and appa’ dead. The little one gave the alarm, and when Mrs. Taylor was picked up she was practically dead, giving but a gasp or two after the friends reached her. She was her. Coroner Carr was summoned and ga certificate of accidental death, it fall. The body was later removed to Mrs. Taylor's late home, 2223 12th str funeral will take place from the Serean Baptist Church, 18th street, at 3 o'clock Wednesday afternoon. Woman of High Character.
