RECEPTION AT NANONAL: RIFLES’ BALL Distinguished Oratots Rehearse the Stories of the War. THE PRESIDENT’S REGRETS General Harlow L. Street, commander-in- chief of the Union Veterans’ Union, was given a flattering ovation at the National Rifles’ Hall last evening by his comrades of the Department: of the Potomac. The hall was elaborately decorated with Ameri- can flags, and there was a large audience of those invited to welcome the newly- eieeted chief officer of the. organization. The stage was occupied by distinguished men, representing Virtous” fraternal and patriotic eocietics. The comrades of many’a field of battle talked of-war times, enjoyed a ‘mtisical and literary program and concluded the even- ing’s entertainment in the banquet hall of the armory, where a bountiful repast was spread.. Among those present were ,Pay- master General Stanton, Col. Tyler Powell, Dr. Frank T. Howe, Commanter Hopkin and staff, and the entire staff of Gen. Street. A unique feature of the staze decorations was an old straw hat, prominently dis- 16 played in the center of an American fiag. made, hung back of the stage. The hat was patterns, whi ibed “lucky box,” and around the the words: “Springileld, Ohio, 1897 Je waists, only in which sold for 54 39 cents.

Eddy, who has been trying to cateh the likeness of her highness for about two wecks, thinks he will get a first-class one this time. She stood without a change of expression, with- out moving a musele, and, Mr. Eddy as- serts, made one of the best “subjects” he has ever had. She could not be persuaded | to descend from her lofty “height, 30 he, like Mchomet, when the mountain would not { come to him, did the next best thing. Mr. Eddy did not go to the goddess in person. This was a little too hazardous, but he sent his emissaries, in the shape of six or seven of his large kites, which fut- tered over the Capitol, one after another, something like wild ducks on the wing. “Washington is the strangest place for a good breeze I ever saw,” he said to a Star reporter today “I have been here about two weeks,” he continued, “and in all that time I have had orly about two days when it was possible to fly my kites. The only way I can ac- count for it is that it is an inland city, and therefore has not such steady breezes as those on the coast. It is the first inland city where I have tried to fly my kites. I hepe I shall be able to take some good pictures foday.” In the meantime he struggled with a re- fractory seven-footer, which seemed bent cn not joining two other kites flying over in the direction of the Capitol dome. careful manipulation the big one was per- svaded to join the others, and soon there was a string of them, trying to pull their owner from the top of the Butler build- ing, where he was engaged, and take him to join Prof. Andree, in the far nerth. - Mr. Eddy yesterday took somé the Capitol, the grounds about it and the Library building, which were entirely satis- factory to him so-far as-they went. What he most desires is to catch the Capitol, the new Library building aud a view up Penn- sylvania avenue, all in.one negative. The wind today has been much better his purpose than on any day since rival, and he hopes that wher he finishes, by sundown or when the wind he will have accomplished what he set to do. The experiments still continue a large number of persons. The suited to his ar-.

A letter from President McKinley was then read, expressing his regret that he could not attend the campfire. “Love's Old Sweet Song” was rendered by a male quar- tet. Secretary Wilson of the Department of Agriculture was then introduced, ard was given a rousing reception, the hall re- sounding with cries of “Tama jim.” He opened his remarks by recounting an in- cident that happened at the White House when the country was wondering whether Hayes or Tilden had been eiécted Presi- dent. “Some one hal threatened,” the Secretary said, “to march on Washington with 000 men. Mr. Townsend was considerably worried over this, and when ne met Gen. Grant he said:~“General, do you think we will have another rebellion?’ replied the President. ‘I suppose if we did you would crush it as you did the last?’ con- tinued Mr. Townsend. ‘I dil aot crush the rebellion,’ replied Gen. Granz; ‘it, was the noble army cf young men. And, let me tell you, they will be ever ready to do so again, Should occasion require.’ ” Question of Pensions, Of the opposition occasionally heard to the appropriations for pensions, Mr. Wil- son said: 3 “If you. hear any one say that..we are paying out tog much money for pensions, just take him off to one side and say ‘to him: ‘My friend, if there had been many men like you in ‘61 the pages of history would have been differently written.
