WASHINGTON GOSSIP.
MMI Whitney’s Social Triumphs at the
From ths yew York ITsrald.
WASHINGTON, April 18. Curious
aS it may appear, the current talk about
the President’s marrige to Miss Folsom
has not yet produced any agitation here.
The simple truth is, nobody believes it,
el6o there would by a ferment. The sen
sation nas been worked up from Buffalo,
and for the beneiit of oertain social in
terests there. AVhen the subject was first
broached, about ten days ago, a very m ar
and personal triend of the President an
thorized a positive denial of tbe report.
Miss Cleveland, prior to her departure
for Atlantic City, also gave it a most
unequivocal contradiction, though it is
untrue that she expressd any disapproval
of such an alliance for her brother. Miss
Folsom and she are warm friends, and Hie
younger lady was the guest of the former
it the White Mouse last tall. I here
might have been some excuse for the
rumor at that time. Not that tbe engage
ment is by any means unlikely to be true,
but because of tbe manner in w hich the
story has been circulated is auv real
doubt cast upon it. The union would cer
tainlv be a desirable one for Miss h olsora.
That may go without saying, lo be
laised to tbe position of first lady of tbe
land by such an alliance would charm
anv woman’s imagination. 1 lie close
personal friendship that existed between
Mr. Cleveland and his now deceased law
partner is known to every citizen ot
Buffalo. Nothing could be more natural
than that tne former should interest him
self in tbe welfare ot the widow and the
daughter of his friend. If the most posi
tive denials given here go for naught, and
f President Cleveland really is to be
married in June, there will be a social up
turning here such as Washington never
beforo has seen.
WHAT ta THE MATTER?
DespiteMissCleveland’a scholarship her
position and her many graces.it is an un
deniable fact that she has been socially
overshadowed by Mrs. William C. Whit
ney, the wife of the Secretary of the Navy.
This lady, with her vast fortune, her
splendid residence in New York, horcom
modious house on l street in this city
and her country seat just outside the bor
ders of the capital, has been the recogniz
ed social queen of the present season.
Previously unknown to the country and
unheralded on her appearance in Wash
ington, sue has, in one short year, become
the dictator at the Republican court and
the loader of fashion. 1 am aware that
tnany Washington ladies who read this
will shake their beads, If they do not dis
pute the assertion even more warmly.
Rut the less Impulsive among them will
recognize its truth. Where is there anv
lady in anv way identified with the pre
sent regime that can dispute with her the
place at the top? She cannot be named.
Airs. Manning had all tbe charms that
titled her for such a position. The Trea
sury Department outranks that of the
Navy in the unwritten code of precedence,
but the dangerous illness ot Secretary
Manning is likely to keep the lady of
Aloany out of the social field for some
•line to come.
THE LEADER OF FASHION.
Everybody who knows anything about
/his season at AVashington admits that
Alls. Whitney has been appealed to when
a triumphant success in auv charitable or
social enterprise was desired. Her bouse
has been at tbe disposal of her lriends
when she is at Home, though it must be
admitted that some of her associates felt
very badly because she recently declined
to permit them to take possession of her
home and servants when she was sud
denly called to Cleveland, Ohio, by the
death of her grandmother. She was re
solute in her postponement of the news
boys’ chanty reception, however. For
one woman to make a secret enemy of an
other is a serious affair. There is no such
word as “forgiveness” in the feminine
lexicon. I have Deen convinced of sincere
womanly delight at the scandal which
Mrs. Potter’s reading of an obnoxious
poem brought ujiou tlie Wbitney coterie.
It was the only serious misstep prior to
the closing of her house, and, oi course,
she innocently suffered for her friend.
Nebody supposes for a moment that Mrs.
AVhitney would have approved of such
nauseating rubbish as “Ostler Joe”—a
species of verse that has for months been
sold in beer gardens and in the smoking
cars of trains,but never mentioned ui tbe
presence of ladies. Toe unforeseen act
of her guest has placed Airs. Whituev in
a position of considerable difficulty. It is
believed to have given rise to tne remark
in certain high circles that it was high
time to make the AVhite House the social
centre of the capital. Womanly malice
had everything todo with this remark. It
probably was the precursor of the wed
ding sensation now having its run. Some
curious things have been told me by
ladies during tho past week regarding the
channels through which the prospective
marriage has been given to the world. 1
do not dare repeat them, for I should have
the leaders of the social tactions about my
ears like so many hornets.
the merry war that will follow.
If Mr. Cleveland is to marry iu tbe
near future —and I believe it is" a right
guaianteed even to Presidents under tbe
constitution—it means the Inauguration
of a merry war for social supremacy such
as has not been seen in this capital since
the days of the Pierce administration.
The local uabobesses, now almost a unit
as against “tbe foreign invasion,” so call
ed, will inevitably divide and a!lv them
selves with one or other wing m the con
test.- Alias Cleveland will retire to the
leisure necessary to produce future suc
cesi-ful literary fruii, rhe may contem
plate writing ‘-tho great American
novel” for all that is known to tho con
trary. If she does, and introduces a re
view of Washington society, t.iere are
those who will bo a'de to recognize, if not
dwell noon, some of the characters in the
tale. Her reception by Washington soc-
Jletv never has been excessively hearty,
ilesptie her charming manners, her
lirignt Intelligence and her excellent taste
In dress.
SPFAKING IN CONGKESS.
"low th Members or the House Give
AVantlug of Wliut Is Coining.
From the Washington Star.
The most nervous moment for anew
ffleiuer of Congress is just before he Is to
wake a speech. Alany of the old mem
bers, even, are seized with “stage Iright.”
The idea that the official reporters ha-e
ears tor the whole country gives every
speaker an uncomfortably large audience,
borne members arc anxious at all times
*“g'd iu tho /,‘ecord; but these men geu
• tally do not make speeches. Tuey
limply interrupt others to usk questions
" sometimes very sul.y ones—or to make
objection*, thus getting their names In
•hi /,’ i-tntl v.Pn an appearance of gnat
activity. When hols about to make an
aiiibitlons < ffott the leellng of the mem
may be judged by one watching from
•be gallery, iho moment the speech
‘trikes him yoi can tell, and it 1m inter
fstliig to waitb it spread through his
*5 "tern.
Each man his his peculiar way of go
ing uimtu It. You can’t tell when Uan
dali op .Morrison are going lo ape ik until
they are pretty well oo toward their re
marks. Mormon always stands for a
moment half way down the second aisle
m> the I). tnociatic side, with hands on
•ho desks on el.her sido. Then ho speaks
''Jiih Uelilieraiim always taking two or
three sieps uward the Speaker when
Jbotffi In earnest. Ho is always soon
through. linm.,l! always speaks from
behlau his owi desk, and makes no preli
minary imminent. Hewitt Is probably
the only ntberwho speaks entirely with
out varntng. He roes off like powder—
all in an iDstant. Some members load
tbeir desks lor u speech; some load them
selves. Sometimes three or four desks
give warning of speeches. They are piled
up with Congressional records, revised
statutes, official reports, newspaper clip
pings, and on top ot all huge rolls of
manuscript. These are always threaten
ing. AVhen a speech is 100 "full of dry
matter to find room inside the orator, and
must be given storage on his desk, other
members find it convenient to be in the
cloak room.
Some members ot experience put all
this material inside their desks, and look
very innocent, as if thev were not going
to ssy much. Then they take out a little
at a time. There is a great difference in
the bearing of a man wnen he is loaded
with a speech. His entire manner is
different from the ordinarv. Some men,
ordinarily stiff', seem to unhook all their
fastenings, while loose-jointed men get
stiff. Butterworth of Ohio is one of those
who limbers up to a speech. For a lew
moments before be begins be seems to be
engaged in unlacing himself and limber
ing his joints, as an athlete w-ho is about
to make a wonderful leap. He crouches
low in his desk and waits his chance. His
lace brightens up, the part gets out of his
hair, and one lock falls down on bis lore
head. He stretobes out his arms and legs,
works his shoulders to see that every
joint is free, and when be gets up to
speak he is like a willow. His body re
sponds to every expression, and he hurls
himself at his audience, and there is ex
pression in every motion.
Last session there was a man in the
House who used to walk back and forth
around the semicircle back of the mem
bers’ seats, running his bands through
his hair, for fifteen or twenty minutes be
fore making a speech. Buu.e members
waik two or three times past the Speak
er’s desk before they try to catch his eye.
Some stand up in their places, clear their
throats several times, pull up their
sleeves, button their cuffs, feel tbeir tie,
open and shut their desks two or three
times, and then walk down the aisle a lit
tle way and say, “Mr. Speaker.” Some
sit and rub their bands. Others do noth
ing*in particular, but you can tell they
are going to speak by the nervous glances
they throw up at the Speaker. Some will
makeeyes at the Speaker for halt an hour
before trying to catch his. You can tell
when some men are going to speak be
cause they look frightened. Others you
know are going to talk—because they al
ways do when they get a chance.
VVONDEKS OF THE TELEPHONE.
Mr. Turnbull, of Baltimore, Proposes to
Talk Through the Ocean Cable.
From the Baltimore San.
Mr. William C. Turnbull, of this city,
has finised a series of experiments to test
hisiuvention of longdistance telephoning.
He finds that the distance at which tele- j
phoning can be practiced with his trans
mitter is only limited by the length ot
wire, under favorable conditions. He ex
pects to get permission very soon to con
duct a series of experiments in # telephon
ing over one of tho Atlantic cables.
London and New York will probably be
the points between which conversations
will be attempted. Air. Turnbull says if
the company will allow him to use a bat
tery of sufficient strength, he has no doubt
but that he can from New York converse
in bis ordinary tone of voice with a friend
stationed in London. More than this, he
says tbis telephone is so pure in tone that
any one in New York could recognize a
friend’s voice talking to him in London.
Through the same transmitter parties in
New Yovk have recognized tbe voices of
fri- lids talking to them in Chicago. A
charter tor a company to use tbe long
distance transmitter and receiver is now
being taken out in New Jersey. He has
applied tor patents in England, Germany,
France, Belgium, Austria, Italy,Canada,
Spain, Russia. Applications will be made
in other countries also.
Air. Turnbull in his receivers uses no
diaphragm. Currents from other wires
in close proximity do not affect tbpm very
much. One of the operators at the Balti
more Telephone Exchange has had one of
Mr. Turnbull’s instruments in bis house,
between one and two miles from tbe ex
change, since last summer. His wife is
delighted with it, as she can talk to her
husband while Jviug oil the lounge, or
from any part ot the room. A short time
since he said to his wife, “Wbat music is
that I hear?” naming theair that was be
ing plaved. 81ie replied, “It 1b a street
band playing bait a square away
from here.” Tho window was
open and the sound eama into
the room of his dwelling where the In
strument was placed, ft is said by elec-1
tricians that this new telephone will to
pome extent revolutionize telegraphing.
Mr. Turnbull began experimenting about
in months ago. He was led to it by feel
ing there was a need tor a better tele
phone. and felt that be had the power to
construct the required instrument. Prior!
to this application and study he had given j
electrical subjects comparatively little
attention. He has invented a number of
other things and patented them. Among
these was a compressed air motor for-run
ning Btreet cars in 1860.
Baking: Powder Tramps.
The danger to the public health from tbe
indiscriminate use of the many lime and
alum baking powders of commerce has
been so fully ex posed that everybody de
sires to avoid them. As “forewarned .*
forearmed,” housekeepers will thank us
for apprising them of the special efforts at
present being made to dispose of such
powders in this vicinity.
The proprietors of some of the worst of
these powders are now going from house
to house, t rying by means ot a trick, or so
called lest, with beat and water, to show
that their article is as good as the Koval
Baking Powder, making Ihe comparison
with tins brand because everybody recog
niz s it to be absolutely pure and whole
some, tbe object. **f course, being to sup
ply their own goods in place of tbe Koyal,
which houseke pets have for so many
years relied upon to puff up the morning
biscuit, and to make the light, palatable,
anil wholesome roll, cuke, and pastry for
which it is famous.
The housekeeper will do well to be on
I her guard against these baking powdor
I tramps. Every intelligent person knows
that any goods peddled from house to
house in this manner, or that are given
awav in samples, or sought to be intro
-1 duct’d by secretly traducing thecharacter
i of other goods well known to be pure and
i reliable, have no merits ol their ow n, anil
have failed to tiud purchasers through le
| gitimate means.
We are informed, as a matter of fact,
that one of thuso-tramp* Is trying to in
troduce a powder that has been found by
tne government chemist to he 11.85 per
cent, iimr, while the other peddles a pow
der ihat I. 20 per cent, alum—one a pow
erful caustic, tho other a corrosive poi
son.
No such tricks or jugglery will bo apt
to deceive auy intelligent person. The
housekeeper who bus used her Royal Buk
ing Powder ever since she discarded
cream of tartar und soda, knows more
about its qualities than all tbe tramps in
the country can teach her. Tbe crucial
test to which she has put the Royal Bak
ing Powder-Ihe test of actual and stio
cesslul work iu the preparation of pure
and wholesome food, under which it has
never failed—is entirely satisfactory to
her, Bbe has alwsvs had “good lunW,” ■
with it In making light, sweet, and dell
cious bread, biscuit and cake, amt ha*
placed it, to stay, atthe brail of her house
keening favorites. She know* that it has
been officially approved by the govern
ment chemist, as the best, and we imagine
that the baking powder tramp who at
tempt* to aupplant its place in her confi
dence will flnd'thls a bad year for hi*
business.
SAVANNAH AIORNING NEWS: THURSDAY, APRIL 22, 1886.
A BIG PRIZE DRIER.
A Correspondent who Wants tho Chat
hams’ Programme Enlarged.
Editor Morning yews: Very nearly
three years ago, just alter the Nashville
prize drill, an agitation was gotton up
here which resulted in the lormation of a
stock company under the style of “The
National Prize Drill Association,” whose
purpose was to Institute an annual prize
drill in Savannah. Seven thousand dol
lars was subscribed in a few weeks at
that time. One of its promoters, over tho
signature “H. C. D.,” says in the News of
June 18, 1883: “Suppose the actual cost
of our drill will he $20,000, the exercises
last six days, and that we have an aver
age attendance ot 20,000 people per
day. Of this number, say only
one-half or 10.000 of them visit the
fair grounds each day. This would make
a tola! attendance ot tjO.Ooo people for the
six days. At the admission price of 500.
apiece* this would give us a net result from
attendance ot $30,000, besides winch we
will have the proceeds from the salo of
privileges, which is worth from $2,000 to
$3,000. The attendant’, figuratively used, |
is a small ODe. It is shown in my first
letter that Nashville’s SIO,OOO show drew
a crowd one day of 20,000 people.”
The Chathams’ Centennial recalls to
mind this scheme, and. indeed, this would
lie an auspicious occasion to put the
project on foot once more. The Chathams
purpose to havo a competitive drill merely :
as an incidental feature of their Centen
nial celebration; but this affords an ex
cellent opportunity for the former pro
moters of "the big drill” to lend a help
ing band, and, by seconding the ('bat
haras’efforts. getting up such a drill as
would surpass anything ever before at
tempted in the South. Mobile bad a big
drill last Alay, and gave away in prize
money an aggregate of $12,000, and left
nothing undone that might gratify both
the military and the spectators, as to
awards, musical entertainment, sham
battle, etc. The result was thousands in
attendance, a fine drill with tirst
class companies competing, visitors,
botn civic and military, highly
pleased, and last, though not least,
plenty of money left in the city by the
visitors. The gate receipts for lour days
were $14,000, that iss2,oooin excess of the
prize money. Large prizes should lie
ottered in order to induce celebrated com
panies like the Cnickasaw Guards, of
M< muliis, the Houston Light Guards, tho
Mobile Rifles, the AV ashing too and the
Louisiana Field Artillery companies, as
well as renowned Northern companies, to
come here, and, by tbeir presence, make
the drill first-class. Prizes ought also to
be offered tor military academy cadets,
and. iu order to Insure good
music, prizes tor military bands.
Altogether the prizes need not
exced SIO,OOO or $12,000. Tho Chat
hams have offered $5,300. Now, let the
"National Prize Drill Association” sten
up and raise these figures by say $5,000 to
$7,000, and by co-opera ling with the Chat
hams get upan entertaining programme,
offer good prizes, and lot us have a first
class drill. Then will their dr -am of three
years ago be realized. There is no risk in
it. as the receipts could scarcely tail to
meet expenses, at least, if not, indeed, to
leave a handsome surplus. But two
weeks remain now uutil tbe drill, and it
anything is to be done it should be done
quickly. The advantages to result to all
our citizens, either directly or indirectly,
from bringing large crowds of strangers
from ail over the country to our city
are too obvious to require expa
tiation. As “H. C. D.” further
says, “let us be alive to our interests,
and not allow other cities, with half the
natural advantages that we possess, to
outstrip us in such matters.” AVhat
says tbe National Military Prize Drill
Association of 1883? At the New Or
leans drill the World’s Exposition man
agement, tne Exposition United Slates
Commissioners and others added to the
prizes offered by the management of the
drill, and in so doing helped materially to
make the drili a success. There is no
reason why our prize drill associa
tion may not tollow their example bv
lending their aid to the centennial drill:
assuming, ot course, that they were in
earnest three years ago and really desir
ous to get up a first-class drill. The Chat
hams. we think, could have no grounds
for o jecting. It would be to their ad
vantage rather than otherwise

BETTER THAN’ RASE BALL.
An Errorless Duelling Contest Near
l'aris.
From the yew York Herald.
Paris, April 18.—The writ to stay pro
ceedings issued by the l’aris tribunals and
served upon M. Thomegueix at the iusil
gaiion of M. Tavernier, iu order to pre
vent a duel with M. Slagnier, proved inef
fective. Messrs. Maguier & Thomegueix
managed to baffle the complicated ma
chinery ot French justice, and had their
duel after all at a late hour yesteiday af
ternoon in tbe Forest of Bt. Germain. The
fight commenced at a secluded spot in the
lorest, but an old woman who was gather
ing chlccory informed the gamekeepers,
who. just as the swords crossed, appeared
on the scene in full uniform. The com
batants. the seconds and tbe surgeons
managed to escape to their carriages, and
drove at full gallop five miles to another
secluded spot.
A HARD FOUGHT ENCOUNTER.
The fight then began in earnest, both do
ing their best to kill each other. M. Tbo
megeuix forced the fighting and gained
ground inch by inch, but with no advan
tage, as M. Maguier fought beautifully,
his skill equalling his feats in the cele
brated Sunday morning fencing exhibi
tions at the Elysee Palace in the presence
of President Gr> v v and tbe Dauphin of
the Republic, M. Wilson. M. Magnier cer
tainly showed no funk this time, as with
clenched teeth and eyes fixed upon those
of his adversary he heat. M. Thomegueix
slowly back. The sword play of both was
almost perfection.
TOO MUCH ZEAL.
Suddenly M. Magnier, seeing an open
ing, thrust savagdv at M. Thomegueix’s
abdomen, but tbe latter’s iron wrist beat
aside the sword point just as it was
touching him on a vital part. M. Thome
gueix returned the thrust, and M.Mag
nit rdretV back bis arm in such a wav as
to leave ho doubt of what bad happened.
“Stopl” cried one of tho seconds; “Mon
sii ut, you are bit, are you not?” “Oul”
was the low response, tf. Thomegueix
then turned toward his second* with u
look of satisfaction.
CALM THOUGH WOUNDED.
M. Magnier was pale but hi* hand did
not tremble, although midway between
the wrist and the elbow, on the inside of
the forearm, a dark blue spot nhow.’d
where the blade hud entered. The point
of the sword had gone clean to the bone.
Tbe gentlemen looked at each other
gravely. “It is impossible for the tight
to continue,” said all the second*. 'I he
doctors agreed, and the “prooes verbal”
was drawn up. 41. Magnier’s wound Is
very serious, If not dangerous.
YET ANOTHER DUEL.
The next duel on the card* ot this ex
traordinary erle* will probably be lie
tween M. Magnier as soon ns he gets
well again—and M. Adolphe Tavernier.
Yesterday’s duel was spoken of at the
cluhsus thoroughly correct in every par
ticular and one of the most sportsmanlike
combats that has taken place for a long
time.
A splendid silver enp, diluted with figures
rmiresenting s boar hunt, which • given lo

brought 43 shilling, at a recent sale in Berlin.
