In every Rich shoe there is a number. If you’re at the mountains, seashore or lake- side and wish to re-order by mail, note the number in the shoe and write us. That is the best way to get an exact duplicate of what you are wearing. If you want some- thing else describe it and send us the size and width of the footwear you're wearing at present, and we assure you that we will send you what you ask for. If we don’t strike it right at first, send them back and we'll try again. You know what a stock this is for novelties, you know that everything that is stylish—that is worn by the capital city’s best- dressed people is here. You know that such a stock of footwear and such footwear is not to be found south of New York city. And, by the way, if you are in New- port and wish to save from $2 to $3 on every pair of shoes order from us. Sea- bury’s styles are here at much less than Seabury asks. We have found it difficult to keep pace with the de- mand of officers’ riding boots. Orders by mail come in daily from the remotest points. We're pleased to be able to state that we have a full assortment again of the tan boots for wear with the new KHAKI suits and of the black calf boot for wear with the regulation uniforms. We are selling these for $2 less than New York stores ask. This has been the greatest Oxford season yet. We have sold nearly twice as many already as last year. People say that our assort- ment is as large as can be found in New York. We have tried to have everything that is sanctioned by the best dressers. The common styles are not to be found here. Each style is exclu- sive so far as this city is con- cerned. It is this distinctive- ness which makes “Rich’s shoes” famous. B.

THE SOCIAL WORLD Plenty of Partners at Newport at ECHOES OF THE, LONDON SEASON ee How Two Little’ Cuff Buttons Met in Washington. 32 PERSONAL NOTES There are plenty of men and to spare at Newport, notwithstanding the absence of some of the shining lights, who have gone to the war. The whirl of events in which the Count of Turin was the conspicuous figure the past ten days brought them all to the front. Thursday the count refused all social invitations, as he had some spe- cial sightseeing on hand. but was ready again for the fun yesterday and for the rest of his stay, which concludes by Wed- nesday next. As the end of the month ap- proaches the usual program of dinners and dances settles down to everyday rezvlar- ity, although the conspicuous entertai ments will not begin until next month, by long-established custom. The cabinet families in town are getting pretty well acquainie? with the sta home fraternity and have little idl on their hands. Secretary and Mr: who are comfortably installed in the lands house at Chevy Chase for the mer, greatly enjcy the cool evenings there, when they are seléom alone. One evening of the present week the President and cab- inet took dinner with Secretary Gage. The bells and dinners of the present Lon- don season have been great crushes of swelldom, but more thoroughly up to date in novel ideas and beautiful arrangement A great many of the more noted entertai ments were preceded by concerts, at wich ne vening, when Lady Rothschilds was hos- tess at a large musicale, a dinner preceded, and the guests went later to Lady Iveagh’s ball. At Lady Portman’s ball her gardens were iluminated, and all the guests enjoyed strolling about in the fresh air between the dances. The consideration of the hostess for her guests was such that she had a great pile of knitted shawls near the gar- den gute for those who wailed to protect themselves against possible colds. Those who have not splendid establisaments bave managed to entertain very handsomely all through the season at favorite restaurants, and for one concert in particular the guests were grouped on verandas overlooking the Thames. Nordiea sang for the delectation of this company, and the event was a tre- mendous succe: The youthful Duchess of Marlborough has been distinguished all on by her splendid gowns, but the ce of jewels. At a dinner party at ondonderry House she wore her diamond iura and the Vanderbilt pearls, which al- ways create a sensation. There is a new hint for wedding acrangements in the coming marriage of an English girl and a Russian. There are to be eignt or ten lit- tle girl bridesmaids, and thelr costum are to be topped off with Russian he: sses and bouquets tied with the Russi: 3. The Prindé of| Wales was booked very rae part in the remaining festivities of the season, but his injured knee has cut short his participation in any more gayety ‘at present. ‘The opening day of the Eton and Harrow cricket match was gorgeous In point of weather. Light dresses were possible tn the warm sunshine, arid the gathering was one of the very prettiest England can show. Mrs. Joseph Chamberlain, as Miss Endicott, was rather too reserved in man- ner to indicate the success which she has attained in her husband's country. She ts pointed out again and again as the most popular Ameri¢an( woman in England, just as her husband was certainly the most pop- ular Englishman who ever came to the United States. He is still identified with his well-known fad of orchid raising, which Hower adorned. his: Buttonhole the after- noon he was married at St. John's Church. Mrs. Chamberlain's visits to this country have grown farther apart of late years, but Americans who figure to any degree in the London season see her everywhere. Mrs. Stanford, widow of Senator Stan- ford of California, contributed a valua- ble object lesson to rich people the world over the other day when she asked the San Francisco courts to reduce the income allowed her from her late husband's es- tate. When the senator died Mrs. Stan- ford was allowed $10,000 a month to main- tain her household tn the manner to which she had been accustomed, but from time to time she has had this amount reduced until last week she petitioned the court to make her allowance $1,000 a month in- stead of the $2,500 which she has received the past two years. The San’ Francisco papers call her peti- tion @ novelty, but make the explanation that Mrs. Stanford is so anxious to see all the provisions of her husband's will carried out in her lMfetime that she has willingly given up her large income that it may be applied to other uses in the es- tate. This is rendered much easier to her by the fact that she has been gradually cutting down her personal expenses, and lessening the magnificence with which the senator loved to surround her, and feeis that she gains rather than Joses by more simple ways of living. The two-million-and- a-half legacy to the Leland Stanford, Junior, University has been paid as well as a larger sum to other beneficlaries by the senator's will, so that within a com- paratively short time his widow need feel no further anxiety about his wishes in the disposition of his vast estate, for it will all have been distributed precisely as they planned between them, and as far as pos- sible in the way they arranged when the instrument was written. Stanford heirs, however, are just like others who inherit large slices of great wealth. Several of them have voluntarily refused to accept their share, and have presented it to the Stanford University; others are willing to await the final distribution rather than embarrass Mrs. Stanford in any way, while others again desired cash payment. Judge Hunt in granting the request for the reduction of income said it was a nevel experience, but that his confidence in Mrs. Stanford’s judgment was such it gave him pleasure to sign the order. Mrs. Stanford keeps several of her Cali- fornia homes open, but they are not con- ducted by the retinues of servants nor in the elaborate style they were in her hus- band’s Hmetime. She makes use of her Nob Hill mansion in San Francisco when she ts in that city, but it is very seldom she enter- tains there or gives it any of its former Efe. Most of her time is spent at her place, Palo Alto, at Menlo Park, which is near the Leland Stanford, Junior, Univer- sity, and which will, after her death, be- long to it. Mrs. Stanford pan make what use she pleases of any ofthese homes. The Palo Alto house is where her husband died, and the one from which their son started hap- by and well with his parents on his last Evropean journey, an@ near which his re- mains rested until they were placed by the side of his father:in the great marble tomb the latter had erected, The house is full of memories of the boy, on whom such love was lavished and upon whom such hopes were built. His whip still hangs where, he Jeft it in the hall, and on the front lawn are the miniature track and the engine and train of cars which were his favorite amugement. A lady prominently. identified with the administration families, and one of the Lrightest_ and prettiest of the young ma- trons from the west, was visiting the other day a friend who is a native Washing- ry popular in its day, since one often sees it in old-fashioned pletures. The back was about as big as a five-cent THE EVENING STAR, "BATURDAY, JULY 23, 1898-24 PAGES. cubby holes in my desk, I found the button and put it to its present practical use. But come to think of it, how did you get your button?” As they say in novels, a musical, rippling laugh was heard before Mrs. Newcomer re- lied: mwell, to tell the truth, Lieut. Blank gave it to me in Hong Kong one night. You know mother and my sisters did the world round once and I went with them. We met Lieut. Blank at several ports, and how devoted he was!” Then it was th2 other lady's turn to laugh, and be 8 aid. The last fifteen minutes of the it were given up to laudatory de- scriptions of their respective husbands—the Pleasure they take in staying home even- ings and the personal sacrifices both are ca- pable of when it comes to giving their de- voted wives anything they may fancy. Vice President Hobart and Attorney Gen- eral Griggs and their families have left for the Thousand Islands, where they will spend some time at “Heart Island,” as the guests of Mr. and Mrs. George C. Boldt. ‘‘Heart Island” ts one of the most beautiful summer residences in the United States, and. indeed, “Heart Istund,” with its splendid residence, its terraces, tuwers and lakes, its masses of beautiful flowers and gorgeously plumaged birds, is but a part of the domain, for another large isle, “Harbor’s Island,” adjoins it, and a large “farm” across the river, with a bicycle track and golf links, as well as gatden and orchard, is also part of the really royal residene The late Mrs. W. W. Rockhill, wife of the United States minister to Greece, whose death was announced the past week, was formerly Miss Carrie Tyson of Baltimore. She was the daughter of the late Gen. Tyson of Glen-Elg, Howard county, Md., and spent much of her youth in this city, where she was an acknowledge belle and beauty. She was educated abr: d had traveled extensively. Two daughters, Miss Dorothy and Miss Daisy Rockhill, survive her. A lawn party evening for the was given Wednesday relief of the wounded un- der Dr. Bayne’s care at Chickamanga Hospital. The credit of the affair is due to Miss Jeanette Robertson, who worked o make it a success.” The spacious urrounding her grandmother's home, No. 645 Fennsyivania avenue southeast, Was prettily decorated for the occasion. Chinese lanterns and the national colors were everywhere. There were a number of tables at which were served ices by dozen or more pretty young ladies. Amoag those who assisted were Mrs. Sewell and Misses I. Gummell, L. Wagner, M. Ford, Ockert, 8. Martin, J. Robertson, M. Brad- shaw, B. Washington, M. Wagner, L. Gum- mell, I. Pistorio and J. Smith. Forty-five dollars was realized. The residence of the Misses Flora and Cara Ec d, 1230 New Hampshire avenue, Was the scene of a merry gathering last evening, July 22. Vocal and instrumental music and dancing were indulged in un- tila late jour, after which a bountiful re- Past was served.

A Summer Music School, Swim: Wheeling and Tally-Ho Drives —Last§ Arri Spcclat Correspondence of ‘The Evening Star. ASBURY PARK, N. J., July 23, 1898. “Founder” Bradley is making his annual attack on the young folks who put on their bathing sults at their cottages and then walk through the streets and on the plank promenade to the beach. The “founder” makes an annual attack on this class of summerites, as he does on the beer-ark venders. There is no statute prohibiting a person from parading the streets In a bath- ing sult, but it Is probable that the senator will do his best to get an ordinance passed. The National Summer School of Music, which is holding its eastern session at the High School building, is being very largely attended. The faculty inciudes some of the best-known lecturers upon music in this country. Among them are Prof. Louls C. Elson of the Boston Conservatory of Music, Pref. James M. McLaughlin, music super- visor of the public schools of Boston; Prof. F. W. Archibald of Boston and Prof. T. L. Roberts of Utica, N. Y. The department of drawing is under the direction of Miss Esther M. Grooms of the West Chester, Pa., Normal School, and the department ci physical culture, Miss Louise Hurlbut Allyn, New London, Conn. There are about three hundred students attending the cours? of lectures. Arrangements are under way for Asbury Park's annual baby parade. “Foun< 3 Bradley considers this show as peculi: ly his, and he is going to offer a large number of valuable prizes for the prettlest baby, the one that weighs the most at 2 certain age, the one who comes from the point furthest from Asbury Park, etc. An ef- fort will be made to get into line all the youngsters on this part of the Jersey coast. Miss Grace Miller of Baltimore, William Flint of Galveston, Tex., and Frank Hoyt ot Brooklyn attracted a good deal of at- tention to themselves and raised consider- able excitement this week by breaking the Asbury Park swimming record. They heard that Senator Bradley was going to have a long-distance swimming match in August, and so they made up their minds to practice a little for it. They went into the water at ath avenue, swam about a quarter of a mile out to sea and then turned south toward Ocean Grove. They came ashore at Ross’ pavilion, three-quarters of a mile from the starting point, Their progress was watched by thousands of people on the board walk. The bicycle enthusiasts at the Hotel Brunswick have reorganized the Bruns- wick “Bike" Club, which for a half dozen years has been the largest he among the hotels. Capt. Benjamin Ferrier of Jersey City has been re-elected, and Mr. Will Dean, master of ceremonies at the Brunswick, is guide; Mr. George Brandon is bugler, and the “boss biker” is Mrs. C. B. Woods. A series of evering runs has been begun to the resorts up and down the coast. The bicycle meet which is to be held here at the Athletic Grounds next Tuesday will be the most important series of bicycle races that has taken place in eastern New Jersey since the national meet occurred here in 1893. Mr. William A. Brady, Cor- bett’s manager, has the meet in charge, and a strong field of champions has entered. Among them are Eddie Bald, Tom Cooper, Fred Titus, Arthur Gardner, Earl Kiser and Major Taylor. The French champion, Edou- ard Taylore, who hoids the world’s hour record of thirty-three and a half miles, will give an exhibition mile paced by his’ own pacemakers. A good deal of interest is being manifested in the meetings which are being conducted in the old bicycle rink by Col. H. H. Had- ley of the Jerry McAully and the St. Bur- tholomew missions, New York. Col. Had- ley ts now connected with the church army. He is being assisted by a large corps of workers, among whom are Rev. W. H. Wharton, Baltimore, and Miss Miner of the Washington, D. C., deaconess home. ‘The music is in charge of Prof. W. J. Kirk- patrick of Philadelphia. “Founder” Bradley had another chance a few days ago to exhibit his eccentricity. The “Founder” has a great fondness for giving admonition to the people who throng his board walk and beach; so when the storm last week drove ashore a big log the shape of a butcher's block, he had it placed high on the beach, a seat put on it and a placard on which are these words: “Drift Stuff. These words are familiar to all per- sons who know anything about the Atlan- tic shore. ‘This drift stuff comprises a lit- tle of everything. This seat came ashore with other refuse. It may meet the eye of some poor fellow who has lost his place AFFAIRS 1n William Pascoe Drowned w Bething in the Potomac. William Pascoe, a white man, aged twen- ty-eight years, while swimming in the Po tomac at Smith's wharf, back of 3228 Kk street, yesterday evening, dove under 4 scow and was drowned. The accident oc. curred ‘between 7 "cl with several friends, being in swimming e the place. He was an expert swimmer The men were jumping in the water from off a scow at the wharf, and Pascoe at tempted to dive in the water en one side of the seow and come out on the other side He made the Jeap and after waiting for nis reappearance for several minutes his friends became alarmed. A search in th: water was made for him, but without suc- cess. His companions dove all around the cow, but were unable to locate the body until nearly haif an hour after his disap- pearance, Robert Golden finally recovering it. On the wharf the body was worked over for some time and a physician sent for, but to ne avail. The patrol wagon was summoned and the remains were taken to an undertaking establishment on M street and the coroner notified. _it is supposed that in making the dive beneath the scow Pascoe came up too soon and the concur. sion of his head against the bottom of the scow rendered him unconscious.
