PERSONAL NOTES OFINTEREST ‘The autumn weddings will lead off with that of Miss Grace Davis and Mr. Arthur Lee of Richmond and New York Monday at Elkins, W. Va.,.which will bring to that mountain point all the kinsfolk of the couple and their intimate friends. The couple contemplate a long absence in for- eign travel. The governor of Pennsylvania and Mrs. Hastings and the Pennsylvania secretary of state and his wife, Mr. and Mrs. Dull; ex-Governor Jackson and Mrs. Jackson of Maryland and their daughter are now guests at “Graceland,” the home of ex-Serator and Mrs. Davis, and will re- main there till after the wedding. Among the first of the weddings in this city announced for next month will be that of Miss Edyth Mohun and Lieutenant Wal- ter Oliphant Hulme, executive officer of the Pensacola navy yard, which will take place early in October at St. Paul's Catholic Church, 15th and V streets. Critical observers find much to discourage them in the recent signs of the degenerat- ing social power shown by the cliff dwellers of Newport. Judging by the accounts of the most exploited entertainments there the past season, there was not much de- pendence placed on the ability of either host, hostess or guesis to do anything toward a pleasurable time by any talent they may have had in themselves. Like all the other luxuries to which they have grown accustomed, these much-envied oc- cupants of the most magnificent dwellings in America want their fun ready-made for them. Last year the introduction of a few song-and-dance artists was the entering wedge which the past summer was so en- larged that the features of a big circus, a county fair, a political barbecue, a water carnival and several other typical Ameri- can sights were not considered too much to entertain for a single afternoon and evening a gathering of people who may reasonably be supposed to have sipped the sweets of amusement the whole world over. At another fete rustic simplicity reigned with social kings and queens masquerading as chefs and dairy maids. But while ail this may be forgiven, as are most summer follies, what can be thought of the per- nicious example of another leading hostess who, to entertain two dozen guests after a luncheon, had a variety actress come down from New York to sing coon songs? An in- cident such as this does not look promising for the establishment or, as the extremists put it, the restoration’ of the American salon, of which tradition has much to prove once existed. It is not an auspicious sign when persons of intelligence, with wealth which enables them to enjoy the Best the universe affords, of vigorous health that permits them to walk for miles eyery day over golf links and the use of all the other fashionable im- pedimenta, has finally to admit by the in- troduction of vaudeville shows in their homes, that they find no intellectual abili- ty, either in themselves or their friends, which could tide them over a formal fe hours together. The importation of enter- taining talentin Washingt n 481 ot reached such proportions that it be looked upon as a reliance, and has no: in any way lessened the duties of the hostess nor the responsitiveness expected from guests. The few instances when the highest priced song birds or famous orchestras were the attractions, everybody Who has been in so- ciety the past five or six years can well r member. The other .style of vocal su- premacy has not beer made popular and need not be in'the ‘score of variety, for Washington society, made up as it is for two inonths’ presentations, has cosmopoli- tan attractions unrivaled jn this country, and is like another form of perfection, best When unadorned. To make up for its summer sins New York will have an opera season the com- ing winter, when the performances will begin at 6:30, and it will be an interesting study in household economy how the music lovers are to get there and not sacritice their dinner to their devotion to art. It may be possible in New York, but if ar- ranged for a long season here cur whole social schedule would have to be ranged.

The park is some four miles from the town of Derby; it Is 600 acres in extent, and with its deer, its groves of ancient oaks, its fine old tim: ber of many another kind, its lake, its sul- phur spring and its,Javely glades and vis- tas, it is an admirable specimen of an old English park. The house was built in 1765 by the celebrated Robert Adam; it consists of a center and two wings, with'a front 360 feet long, which, with its portico with col- umns some thirty feet high, is very im- posing. The glory of the building is, how- ever, the great entrance hall, nearly sev- enty feet high, supported by great columns of yellow alabaster. There are few finer halls throughout England, yet Dr. Johnson Was dissatistied with it, and contended that, though “costly,” it was “ill-contrived.” In the opinion of the great doctor, all had been sacrificed to this great hall, and he thought the low, dark bed rooms “fitter for a prison than a house of splendor.” There is a fine and varied collection of pictures at Kedleston, but I believe that it has ceased te be a “show” place, and the public are no longer admitted to the alabaster glories of the hall, or, indeed, to any portion of the mansion. It has been stated, but I confess I know not whether truly, that puntry and in Robert Adam repeated his triumph of Kedieston in the government house at Cal- cutta, which magnificent building cost £1,- 000,000, and was built in the days of the Marquis Wellesley. If the statement I have referred to is correct, not only should Mr. Curzon feel at home in his new quarters in Calcutta, but the coincidence with regard to the matter is certainly a strange one. Mr. Hansen, Russian charge d'affaires at Mexico, who is well remembered in Wash- ington for his musical and social accom- plishments, recently entertained a number of friends at a muSicale in his apartments at the Mexican capital. Baron and Baron- ess Von Ketteler were among the guests, both well known here. Miss Edes spent last week at Newport. Dr. and Mrs. Wm. H. Heron and their little daughter have returned from Cape May, where Mrs. Heron and the children have been spending the past three months.

To the Editor of The Evening Star: Thirty-six years ago today was what Devens, the author of “Our First Century denominates the “bloodiest day Ameri ever saw.” It was the battle between the army of the Potomac, commanded by Gen- eral McClellan, and the army of northern Virginia, commanded by General Lee. On the Union side the engagement was called the battle of Antietem; on the confederate, the battle of Sharpsburg, each side bestow- ing the name of the object most conspicu- ous from its standpoint. McClellan had a total of some 82,844 men, but one corps, Porter’s, with 25; men, was not engaged. His actual force was something more than 57,000 men. Lee had 40,000 troops, with 38,000 engaged. McCiellan’s army was composed of six corps, commanded by Generals Hooker, Sumner, Porter, Franklin, Burnside and Mansfield. Lee’s army was composed of two grand divisions, or corps, commanded by Generals Jackson and Longstreet. The total Union loss was 12,469, the killed being 2,010. In the list of killed was Gen- eral Mansfield, while the list of wounded in- cluded Generals Richardson, Hooker, Sedgwick and Crawford. The total confederate loss was 12,000. Among the killed were Generals Branch and Starke; among the wounded, Generals Anderson, Lawton, Gregg and Jones. It will be noticed that the loss on either side at Antietam was equal to General Shafter’s whole army at Santiago during the two days’ fighting, July 1 and 2. While we are making history let us not forget that which has been made. J. FRAISE RICHARD. September 17, 1898. a Fine Furniture and Carpets bargains in Heeke’s Clearing Sale.—Advt.

Cardinal Gibbons Officiates—President McKinley a Members of Diplo~ matic Corps in the Audtence. Impressive ceremonies in memory of the Empress of Austria were held at St. Mat- thew’s Church, in this city, this morning, at 10:30 o'clock, by a solemn mass of re- quiem, celebrated by Cardinal Gibbons. The walls of the sanctuary were draped in black, against which the scarlet-draped throne of the cardinal showed with great distinctness. A catafalque, also draped in black, was arranged outside the sanctuary railing, and candelabras filled with lighted candles were at the foot and head, Against the catafalque rested a large cross of white roses. The upper half of the church was reserv- ed for the officials specially invited and the diplomatic corps. The members of the staff of the Austria~Hungaria legation, Haron von Riedenau and Dr. Zilassy, stood at the rear of the pews, opposite the door, and es- corted these gentlemen to the seats rusery- ed for them. Baron von Riedenau wore the bright blue uniform of his rank and a band of crepe on his left arm. ‘The Austrian minister, Mr. Hengelmuller, Was in a black uniform, rendered more striking by a black velvet cape, with heavy black cord trimmings. When President McKinley arrived at the church door the ushers notified the Aus- trian minister, wh# was at the threshold to receive him, and who escorted him to the front pew on the right of the middle aisle. The President was accompanied by Secretaries Bliss, Gage and Wilson and Postmaster General Smith, and Avsistant Secretary of State Adee, represented the State Department. Justice Harlan, the only member of the Supreme Court in Washington, was present also. Capt. Mich- ler repreeented Gen. Miles, whose {line prevented his attendance. Among the ¢ip- lomats there were present Ambassador Cambon and most of the ministers repre- senting the European countries, as well as those from Sout America. The Chinese minister and several mem- bers of his suite and the Corean minister and secretary were present. All the diplo- mats wore court or military uniforms and made a most impressive spectacle. The Officiating Clergymen. Cardinal Gibbons was attended by Rev. Charles Bart, Rev. Father Schmidt and Rev. Father Beavans, officiating as deacon and subdeacon of the mass. Rev. Thomas S. Lee was master of ceremonies. Several other clergymen were present in the sanc- tuary. At the conclusion of the mass Cardinal Gibbons made a short address, in which he expressed the shock and sadness which the whole world had suffered by the perpetra- tion of the awful crime in the murder of the Empress of Austria. Beloved by her subjects and surrounded by all the pomp and splendor of an imperial throne, she went among the people, fearing no evil, because she was conscious of no fault. The man who strikes at the head of a nation, he said, is an >nemy of ail social order. Public peace and tranquillity depend on the execution of a strong and stable government, whether it is embodied in king, emperor or president as ruler. The head of a nation is a sacred trust. The cardinal, in conclusion, spoke of the scrrow which this country manifested when President Garfleld died by the hand of a murderer, and asked th> prayers of those present that Austria and her emperor would be strengthened and comforted in this trying hour. After his address, the cardinal read, first in Latin and then in English, the funeral s>rvice. After the clergy had left the sanctuary, the Austrian minister escorted President McKinley to his carriage. ———— MISS SCHLEY AT HAVANA. Endeavors to Obtain Remission of Duty on Comal’s Cargo. Special Correspondence of The Evening Star. HAVANA, September 13, 1898. We had a visit from a celebrity yesterday —Miss Jessie Schley—and three minutes’ conversation Geveloped the fact that she Was a monomeniac. One glance also suf- ficed to show that instead of being the slim, fair young girl of twenty that her photo- graph in one ot the New York papers show- ea, she is a rathe: stovt woman of about forty-five, with hair slightly gray. She arrived here from Spain a few days ago, and, hearing of the trouble we were having with the cargo of the Comal, came over to help us out. She offered to take the off our hands, carry it in and distribute it. Upon our pressing doubts as to her ability to do this she 5: “Oh, now, you know, we women can do a good deal that men do.
