When Warm Days Come Again There Will Be Other Attractions—Per- sonal Notes of Interest. An absolute calm would have settled on matters social had it not been for the herse show this week, ahd it was the only affair of consequence that can boast of con- tirued chapters for some time past. The show prospered in spite of the dreary weather which has been its accompani- ment from the start. It gave almost limit- less oppertunities for the display of new gowns and hats. The big hats were plen- tiful, but seemingly did not provoke the usual resentment, as the events in the ring could be seen in spite of this sort of ob- struction. The spring hat this time is not Tegarded as an artistic success by any means, and, therefore, there is some ex- cuse for the freak structures worn, and in which some fair dames manage to look very pretty. The tip-tilted small gray hat, a sort of page’s cap, that Miss Leiter has wern the past winter, which on the right side seems to be balanced on the edge of the rolling brim and on the left is filled with curling feathers which fold in closely to the hair, was seen repeated in other celors. Miss Leiter wore hers one evening, and its most effective copy was in tur- quoise worn by a handsome young matron. Others were seen subsequently in other colors. These were the sensations in the illinery line. ‘Thos2 who had boxes at the show were conspicuous in their steady attendance, which is precisely what it should be, since most of the pleasure of those to whom it vas all a new experience consisted in watching the coming and going of this part of the audience. Just as soon as good weather is assured there will be talk of lawn parties and simi- lar festivitizs for which blue skies and dry lawns are a prime necessity. The suburban places about Washington are pretty likely to be occupied by their owners during the next couple of months, and perhaps longer if the exigencies of the siiuation cause Washington to be more desirable a resi- dence than elsew! These who. have these places all ready to step into are con- sidered particularly fortunate at this june- ture, sinc: it prolongs for them the period during which it will be unnecessary to defi- nitely settle their summer plans. Only those who have inland destinations seem2d to have as yet concluded their arrange- ments for a late June flitting, such as they erdinarily make. Rear Admiral and Mrs. Crosby have ioned their proposed trip to Europe this summer. Mr. and Mrs. John Sherman are enjoy- the quiet of private life in a manner t his ing most commendable. The day after ment from the cabinet, the ex-Se made a tour of the pinet with his wife and thoroughly enjoyed the pleasant experiences. Washington is the ideal home for ex-public men, and with the splendid home the Shermans have here there is every reason why they will con- tinue to make it their headquarters for most of the year. Mrs. Day, who is in a hospital at Cleve- land, recovering from a recent illness, is already a great favorite in society, and upon her return to Washington will re- ceive a most cordial welcome from the ladies of the cabinet hosts of other friend, al Gary and wife hz altimore after a stay where they immediately after the furmer’s retirement from public life.

The parlors of her hand- some residence on 16th street. were trans- formed into floral bowers, with a profusion of roses, fleur de lis and other spring blos- soms and patriotic emblems. A very large number of guests were in attendance from both official and private circles. The re- freshment tables were bountifully furnish- ed, and were'in charge of s group of at- tractive young ladies. The occasion was enlivened by music and singing. Mrs. L. H.

L. Whitman of Co- bian University. following paper in reference to Rev. Dr. Whitsitt will be laid before the con- vention today or on Monday, and is ex- pected to provoke much debate. The paper embodies the action of the trustees of the Theological Seminary at a meeting held yesterday, and i Hows: “Having re d certain communications from Baptist bodies within the bounds of the Southern Baptist convention touching the management of the seminary, and be- lieving that the communications are en- titled to their most respectful considera- tion, the board of trustees, sensible of the grave responsibility which rests upon them, now in their annual session at Norfolk, V; make the following statement: Inasmuch s the communications refer only to issues hich were settled by the trustees at their last meeting, it is proper to say that after twelve months of mature and prayerful re- flection, we can find no reason for modi- fying in any degree our statement made at that meeting, but, on the contrary, we feel constrained by our convictions of duty to reaffirm our adherence to the action then taken. In this connection the trus- tees desire to render profound thanks to God for the gratifying measure of pros- perity which has attended the seminary during the last session, and_ to testify gratefully to the ability, efficiency and worth which every department of this in- stitution has been conducted since our last meeting.” Officers of several auxiliary societies of the convention were elected. —__+— Senate Adjourns to Monday. At the conclusion of Mr. Pettigrew’s speech in the Senate yesterday afternoon Mr. Quay had the pending bill temporarily laid aside in order that a bill for the es- tablishment of post offices in military posts or camps might be considered. The bill went over, under objection by Mr. Pasco of Florida. The consideration of the post office ap- propriation bill was resumed, and unani- mcus consent was given that a final vote on the bill should be taken before adjourn- ment Monday. The Senate adjourned until Monday. a Civil Officials in the Army. An interesting question has arisen at the War Department in connection with the appointment to military places in the vol- unteer army of persons who now occupy federal positions. It applies te the es of Assistant Secretary Roosevelt, Consul General Lee and Representative Whceier of Alabama. The judicial authori! the War Department say that whe: son holding civil office returns to the du thereof, after having been sworn mto the military service, he ceases to be an officer of the army. They base their c on section 1222 of the Revised which reads as follows: “No officer of the army on the active shall hold any civil office, whether by elec- tion or appointment, and every suc4 officer who accepts or exercises the functions of a civil office shall thereby cease to be an officer of the army, and his commission shall be thereby vacated.” ——_—_ -2—____ Walker for Assistant Seerctary. Chairman Boutelle of the House naval affairs committee called upon the Presi- dent yesterday afternoon to urge the ap- pointment of Rear Admiral John G. Walk- er, retired, as assistant secretary of the navy to succeed Theodore Roosevelt. In his representations Captain Boutelle in- formed the President that his committee was unanimous in urging upon him the great desirability, in this time of special exigency, of availing himself of the excep- tional experience and ability of Adimiral Walker. He cited to the President the re- markabjJe service rendered by Assistant Secretary Fox during the administration of President Lincoln, which, he said, was due largely to Mr. Fox's previous experience as an officer of the navy. Mr. Boutelle said that his action was taken entirely without the knowledge of Admiral Walker and solely with a view to the public interest at this time, when the experience, in so important @ position as that of assistant secretary of the navy, was unusually desirable, —— e+ —____.
