President McKinley gave a dinner last night in honor of some personal friends among the bishops of the Episcopal Chur~h now in convention in this city. The dinner was given in the state dining room of the White House, and covers were laid for fifteen. The floral decorations were elab- orate and beautiful. The President's guests were: Bishop Doane of Albany, Bishop Pot- ter of New York, Bishop Satterlee of Wash- ington, Bishop Leonard of Ohio, Mr. J. Pierpont Morgan of New York, Mr. Samuel Mather of Ohio, Mr. Hay, the Secretary of State; Mr. Gage, the Secretary of the Treasury; General Alger, the Secretary ‘of War; Mv.

White and green in chrysanthemum blooms and their foliage decked St. Thomas’ Church, New York, yesterday afternoon for the marriage of Miss Churchill and Mr. Baring of England. | Miss Muriel Ursula Baring, sister o fthe groom, was the bride's only attendant. Her gown was of soft creamy lace, draped over white silk and cut with a train. She wore a picture hat of white lace to match, and carried a large bouquet of pink orchids. The lace at her throat was fastened with the bride's sou- venir—a diamond ornament. The bride's dress was heavily trimmed with lace: Drapings of point lace crossed the skirt zonally in front, caught here and there with orange blossoms. She wore some mag- nificent jewels. The diamond collar pre- sented to her by Miss Baring, which is fully three and a half inches wide, clasped her throat, and the tulle veil was held in place with a diamond tiara, a gift of Mrs. Travis Macy, another sister of the groom. The bride’s bouquet was of white orchids and lilies of the valley. The bride received sev- eral hundred presents, and as her friends know that it will be some time before the couple settle down in their London home, nearly all of them were articles of personal adornment, jewels predominating, although silver was not lacking. Among the groom's gifts was a string of pearls, two yards long. Mr. and Mrs. Baring will sail for Europe to winter on the Riviera, in about six week: At the marriage tomorrow at noon of Miss Romaine Mannix and Mr. Ernest G. Walker the bride's dress will be of embroidered Canton crepe, brought home years ago by her father, the late Capt. Mannix, after a long stay in the east. The bodice is trim- med with the point lace which first did service in the wedding dress of the bride's mother, Mrs. Mannix. Rev. Dr. Smith will perform the marriage ceremony. at which only a few personal friends of the couple will be present with the relatives; but a large company will attend the recep- tion, which will last from 1 to The couple will go south on a trip and will re- side at 1706 P street this winter. Miss George Swope will be maid of honor at the marriage tomorrow night at the Church of the Covenant of Miss Ethel Swope and Mr. Edwin Jones McKee. Mr. Donald McKee will be best,man.

Miss Anna Hess was maid of honor and Mr. James Brown, brother of the groom, was best man. The youthful bride was beautifully gowned in heliotrope velvet, waist trimmed in white satin, with skirt of moire antique poplin to match, and carried a white prayer book, from which the service was read. After the wedding breakfast Mr. and Mrs. Brown left on the noon train for a northern trip. On their return a reception will be held at the pride’s future residence, 635 T street, Oc- tober 31. Mrs. Calvin 8. Brice and Mrs. Adlai Ste- venson, who have been in Cincinnati lately, were given a reception at the Clifton Golf Club house. Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence Max- well, jr., gave a beautiful luncheon in honor of Mrs. Brice, Mrs. Stevenson and Miss Stevenson one day of their visit. eaeee one eee Effort to Defeat Mr. White. To the Editor of The Evening Star: In reply to the news article in The Star of the 24th instant, entitled “Race War Im- minent,” permit me to say that I am as- tonished at the personal fight which is waged against Mr. Geo. H. White, the only colored member of the lower house of Con- gress. The best element in the white race have long since arrived at the conclusion that the colored contingent is a part and parcel of the body politic, not only of this country, but of the whole world. Every re- publican and democratic administration since the emancipation has recognized this fact in making appointments. The black American, like Banquo’s ghost, will not down at the bidding; nor would the better and more intelligent white people have him eliminated from the body politic. No one doubts that the victorious strug- gle for independence was prospered by the presence and participation of Crispus At- tucks at Bunker Hill, for he yielded life for the freedom of his country as willingly as did the proudest Anglo-Saxon. If he was brought here as a chattel in gross, he is earning his manhood rights by personal bravery and faithful service, just as did the vassal and villein of feudal times. Should any one question the usefulness of the colored soldier in the war of 1812 I would refer him to the eloquent words of Gen. Jackson in commemoration of his brave blacks in the battle of New Orleans. Every historian of the war of rebellion, however prejudiced, has been constrained for the sake of truth to say somewhere in his work “the colored troops fought nobly.” Even those well-meaning, but misguided waite men in North Carolina, who would defeat Congressman White by all hazards, will admit that the 9th and 10th Cavairy and the 24th and 25th Infantry regiments are elements of strength to the United States army; and that in the battle of San- tiago they proved a very present help in time of trouble. Under the head of “‘for- Wants Quickly Filled. ane eee eee nak ae ae, many Are eek seeking employes, it is of interest gotten heroes,” these organizations are be« ing immortalized by the press. Now, sir, I hold that the present Congress is stronger by reason of the fact that it has a colored member in the person of Mr. White. He represents the black belt in the tarheel state. Surely no one will deny him that privilege. For about ten years he was one of the state solicitors, and he discharged the duties of his office with credit to him- self and honor to the race with which he te identified. I can see no danger of negra domination in the north state by sending one colored man to Congress. The distinc- tion of having the only colored man in Con- gress hail therefrom has enhanced the tm- ortance of North Carolina in national af- fairs. In view of this fact it would seem that so far from endeavoring to defeat Mr. White, the good people in that state, white and black, democrats and republicans, Populists and prohibitionists, would see to - veg aoe black district is again repre- in the next Coi y black candidate. a October 25, 189% R.

Health Officer's References Police Court Health Officer Wocdward's unfavorabie reference tc the Police Court in hi to the is annual report printed in Saturday's Star has caused some comment in Police Cour: ¢ir- cles. Both Judges Kimball and Scott are interested in the matter referred to, and to- day in cases brought by inspectors of the health department Jvdge Secit made in- quiries for his own benefit Inspectors Whitaker and Sessicns were complainants in cases in which nuisances were charged. In one case the eviderce shewed that the alleged nuisance had teen abated and the charge was dismissed. In the other case a colored woman charged with a similar 9f- fense was given time to abate the nuisance complained of. Judge Scott asked the inspectors if they aid not believe it was better to allow pour people time to abate nuisances than it {s to send them to the workhouse and per- mit the nuisance to remain. The answers the court received were that inspectors of the health department are not supposed to nave opinions in such matters. t is the opinion of both judges that the object of the law is to abate nuisances and not to get people into the workhouse and allow the nuisances to remain, In Judge Kimball's court today Prosecu ing Attorney Mullowny found it necessa: to nolle pros a case brought b: Inspector Rae of the health departmen against Raymond 8. Donaldson. The charge was that Mr. Donaldson had failed to connect his premises with water and sewer. The prosecuting attorney called Judge Kimball's attention to the case in open court. He sald that three inspectors wanted tc swear to parts of the informa- ticn, and that not one of them would swear to the complaint, although one of them had previously sworn to a warrant. Because he could not get one of them to make the complaint he said he had been compelled to enter a nolle pros > Marriage Licenses. arriage licenses have been issued to the following: White—Jules S.
