Justice Hagner sat in Criminal Court No. 1 today, disposing of a number of minor offenders. Joseph E. Green, alias James Clark, a young white boy, charged with the larceny of $44 worth of clothing from W. Walitzeli, withdrew his former plea of not guilty to larceny and entered a plea of guilty to petit larceny. This was accepted by the United States attorney, and Green was sentenced to five months in jail. Isaac Campbell, colored pleaded guilty to the second offense of petit larceny. Camp- bell was employed as a driver at the Bot- tlers’ Protective Association and while there stole two sets of harness valued at $30. He was sentenced to one year and four months in the New Jersey state peniten- (lary. Campbell’s former offense was the theft of a horse blanket. Walford Green, colored, pleaded gullty of housebreaking and was sentenced to one year and ten months in the New Jersey prison. Green entered Williams’ junk shop, taking therefrom $10 worth of copper and brass, which he was trying to sell when captured. Joseph Brown and William Wood also pleaded gullty to housebreaking and were each sentenced to one year and ten months in the New Jersey state penitentiary. ee eS * Property Burned.

ROMERO Washington Loses One of Its Most Promi- nent Social J.eaders, Characteristies of a Noble Woman— Generous Hospitalities at the Mexican Legation. Mrs. Romero, wife of the Mexican min- ister, Senor Matias Romero, died last night at 7 o'clock at Haddon Hall, Atlantic City, after an illnéss which has extended, in its acute form, over the past two months. Mrs. Romero has been a sufferer from Bright’s disease the last three years, but ft is only lately that the symptoms became £0 marked that it was impossible to hope Mrs. Romero, From Phetogreph by Prince. for her recovery. She was seriously ill during the entire month of Jane, but recov- ered sufficiently to warrant her going to Atlantic City accompanied by her husband early in July. Her first week there was one which gave her husband great encourage- ment, but over ten days ago a relapse oc- curred, and she gradually sank until death came last night. At Atlantic City she was attended by several physicians, including a Philadelphia specialist, but the disease made such rapid progress that nothing could be done to stay it. Mr. Romero arrived this morning at 4 o'clock in this city with the remains. The funeral arrangements will be completed during the day. The funeral will take place Monday morning at St. Matthew's Church, Rhode Island avenue, probably at 10 o'clock. Sketch of Mrs. Romero. Mrs. Romero’s maiden name was Miss Lucretia Allen. She was born in Philadel- phia and spent much of her childhood there. Her mother, Mrs. Allen, has been in rather feeble health for the last two years, and in June last suffered a second stroke of paralysis, from which she is now recovering, being with relatives in the Catskills for the summer. She has one son, Mr. William Allen of New York, and made her home with him until her health began to fail, and her daughter was anxious to have her here. Mrs. Romero was educated at the Sacred Heart Convent, Manhattanville, and after her marriage to Mr. Romero went with him to Mexico. She was a great favorite at the Mexican capital, where she quickly acquir- ed the Spanish language, which she spoke with a correctness and fluency that always caused flattering comment from those to whom it was a native tongue. Both the President of Mexico and Mrs. Diaz were devotedly attached to Mrs. Ro- mero, and the two ladies constantly ex- changed letters and gifts. During the last sixteen years Mr. Romero has represented his country at Washing- ton, and his wife has been his strongest ally in furthering the pleasant intercourse between the two countries. She has been practically an invalid the last three years, but her indomitable will kept her up, and few persons know of her sufferings or guess- ed that her iliness was known from the start as likely to have a fatal termination. Her summers were usually given over to complete rest, but she was always glad to get back to Washington, of which she was especially fond. Last summer was one full of deep concern to her, for near by her residence at Spring Lake Beach a friend, whom she dearly loved, lay ill for a month, until relief came in death. dt will be re- membered that upon their return to the capital last fall Minister and Mrs» Romero brought with them the six motherless chil- ‘dren of the Guatemalan minister, whom they could not bear to see among strangers, until their father was able to make plans again for a Washington home. These little folks were devoted to Mrs. Romero, and frequently during the past winter they were with her, either driving or visiting. Personal Characteristics. Mrs. Romero retained to the last her beauty, which in her youth was markec. She had pretty, soft-brown hair and almost correct features. Her voic2 and iaugh were musical and showed her bright, happy dis- position and gay temperament. She was devoted to social life and presided in her own house and at her own table with a sweetness and dignity that were added to every year. This gentle dignity of manner was her great charm. Thoughtful and con- siderate of every one’s opirions, a wise prudence kept her from expressing -her own, and this caution has been always an envied trait with the wives of other for- eign ministers, who came to her for ad- vice in all the little perpiexities of social intercourse which confronts a newcomer io Washington. Hundreds of little incidents could be toid of her devotion to her husbend’s country, with her pride in and affevtion for her own, of her unswerving loyalty to her friends, of her private charities, her personal amin- istrations in the homes of the sick and helpless poor and of her unfailing courtesy to every person who passed over her thres- hold. There was no lady in Washington official society whom it was easier io see nor could there ever have been a more patient listener nor a more ready helper. Generous Hospitality. Until her health became precarious, she saw more visitors every day in the week than all the other ladies in the diplomatic corps combined, and her public receptions, held two or three times each winter, were almost as largely attended as similar events at the White House or at cabinet homes. These receptions were made as attractive as possible with lights, flowers, music and elaborate refreshments, and the gentle hestess had always twenty or thirty assist- ants, chosen from among her friends, to ertertain her visitors. No agency has prob- ably exerted a greater influence in weiding the bonds of union between this country and the Mexican republic than the gener- cus hospitality shown friend and stranger alike at these recepticns. Mrs. Romero al- ways took pains to have it announced each season that she would hold these public re- ceptions and that all who came would be welcome. In her delicate health last winter a less courageous won-an would have omit- ted the usual program, but the inquiries came from hundreds of sources as to when she would receive; so that she felt the emission would disappoint not only her friends, but throngs of people whom she had never seen but who might in the future think of the Mexican legation with pieas- wu re. While these receptions were always crowded with the most prominent movers in the diplomatic, official and resident life of the capital, there were sure to be many other persons to whom the scene was a novel one. It rarely happened that any of these events ever passed without the hostess being more than repaid by whispered words of thanks from quiet lady-like persons-who -had joyed a brief into a world of so known delights. Mrs. "s re- marks of passing events w bright and witty that many’ of them passed into proverbs.

The season may be said to have success- fully started both at Newport and Bar Harbor. It will be rather forlorn for the Newporters after Prince Victor Emanuel, Count of Turin, packs up and goes, for the ali-day and night performances in his hon- er have pushed the mental pressure up to an alarming degree and anything short of the present strain will be scareely appre- ciated. But as the gossipers are watching with tremendous interest the opening up of “The Breakers,” the Vanderbilt mansion, and the return of Mr. and Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt from their long stay abroad, there will be plenty to talk about. The Cornelius Vanderbilt, jr.’s, have a modest place, also, this season at Newport, where they are the top of the heap, socially and every other way. Now, if the long-delayed reconciliation between father and son takes place, as it is hoped, everybody wiil be pleased. At Bar Harbor dinners among the cottagers, with any transient lions to the fore who may have happened around, are the all-absorbing enjoyments of the present, with the outdoor life and freedom frem informality which this north coast encotrages. Here in Washington, where the heads of the government are too busy to feel the minor discomfort of heat, the possibility of near peace leaves a big chance for an escape to some cooler and more bracing spot before the summer wanes or the first month of the fall has passed away. ‘There are lots of people in Washington who need not stay if they were not 50 minded, and their presence is therefore a comfort to others who would go if they could. ‘The chappies must all cultivate a limE now that the Prince of Wales has a badly knocked about kneecap. The interesting invalid will soon be removed to Cowes. The London doctors who are bracing up the royal member are lvud in their com- plaints against the country surgeon who had the first whack at it, and who did net use the heroic measures which would have permanently relieved his royal highness. But the country practitioner thought he could not take any libertres with the main support of his future monarch, and he en- couraged the prince to move aiong to the city, which he did, sparing the injured limb but little. In ‘consequence the knee was badly inflamed when the greatest of all London surgeons cam2 to look at it, and was almost as helpless as his less fa- mous country colleague, for he did not dare to resort to the treatment which would have been immediately given a humbler individual. The doctor could not run any chances of blood poisoning and other troubles, so that the prince must ac- cept with patience a slower method, and consequently will continue his tedious con- valescence at Cowes. Th Princess of Wales, however, keeps up Ler social en- gagements. At a recent charitable bazaar the princess looked as sweet and gracious as usual in a dress of mauve and winte foulard with cream lace, and a toque to match, with up-standing orchids on one side.

Sir Lionel Sackville West and his three charming young daughters contrib- uted their share to each winter's gayeties while they were in Washington. The Miss- es West, whose mother was Spanist and whose education had been French, were ex- ceedingly pretty and stylish. The legation since its elevation to an embassy has not been identified with any undue amount of gayety in the pleasure-loving mind. In the West days there was always the January ball, the formal event of the winter, for which there was more diplomatic angling for invitations than the vuigarly plain re- quests of which we have heard of late years, and an appearance or an absence fr¢m thir real function meant a great deal toward the success or failure of the winter. The West girls all married weil. Lord Sackville came into his title when his country, probably quite satisfied with his dplomatic services, had given him a chance for retirement. Lately, however, he had the pleasure of entertaining at his beauti- ful home, Knole Park, the Prince and Princess of Wales.
