WASHINGTON HOSTESSES.
Social Ways of Eminent Ladies at the
Capital.
From the Keio York Sun.
Each succeeding year brings a greater
number of prominent people to Washing
ton who either build, lease, or rent houses,
and do their best to outshine each other in
the social world. Washington society is a
strange mixture, composed of many circles,
and circles within circles, all revolving
around one centre point. The increase
within late years of rich people making
Washington their winter residence has
widened the circles to a great extent, and at
the same time contracted the smaller ones,
and these seem to go on slowly in their own
course, unmindful of the noise and bustle
made by the newcomers.
The smaller circles are composed of the
old residents of Washington, who are ex
clusive, and very particular as to whom
they admit. The greater circles are the
official, and what might be called the legis
lative.
A. certain programme is laid down for
society at the White House, and it seldom
varies. It consists of official receptions,
state dinners, and a few private-at-homes
by the lady of the White House. The
Senators’ and Representatives’ wives all
have their days for receiving. Added to
these are the receptions of prominent peo
ple; and one who wishes to follow the gaye
ties of Washington will have his hands full
and very little spare time if he attempts to
keep up with the life. In such a large body
as Congress there are many very rich mem
bers, whose wives take the greatest delight
in shining in this social world, and whose
receptions have become noted all over the
country. Others have to entertain on ac
count of their official position; but the ma
jority are willing to live in ordinary apart
ments and merely participate in the gaye
ties.
The home life of Mrs. Cleveland who is
naturally at the head of the social world, is
very lovelv and worthy of imitation. She
is a remarkable woman for one of hor age,
and the most vigorous of her critics have
failed up to this time, after the most severe
tests, to be able to pick a flaw or discover
any discrepancy in her acts. One of the de
lights of Mrs. Cleveland’s life has been her
residence at Oak View. Together with
her mother she has made it a perfect bower
of beauty and home comfort. Nothing
pleases the President more, after a day’s
work, than to go driving over the country
roads to the little house on the hillside.
In the country house Mrs. Cleveland her
self superintends all the arrangements, and
a word to the servants from her is enough
to make them do their utmost to please her.
One would hardly think that in the contin
ual round of official duties, where recep
tions and visits (follow closely on one an
other, that she would have any time for
housekeeping at the White House, but, like
a child with anew toy, she seems to be es
pecially fond of directing and superintend
ing personally all the little matters which
old housekeepers find great relief in turn
ing over to someone else. Mrs. Cleveland
even goes into the kitchen, and it is said
that were she obliged to make the President
hi 6 coffee, or cook him a pie, the dish she
would serve up would be as palatable and
as inviting in looks as any chef could
serve.
Oftentimes in the morning she will don a
long calico apron and wander about the
house, dusting and cleaning the apartments,
following the servants to see that no dirt is
left in the corners or dust remains upon the
furniture. All this charms the President,
who, although business-like and full of work
at all times, delights in surprising- his wife
when she is in her workaday costume, and
it is said he likes her in this dress much bet
ter than in the evening costume she is so
often obliged to wear.
Mrs. Whitney leads the Cabinet ladies in
the gorgeousness of her receptions and the
vastness of her hospitality. Her enter
tainments are models and have quite
eclipsed anything y *t given at Washington.
She has a rich Drother who supplies her
with many thousands of dollars as pin
money just for entertainments, and it is one
of her greatest delights to shine in the so
cial world.
Mrs. Manning, when her husband was in
the Cabinet, had a beautiful house and was
a charming hostess. Mrs. Faircnild, as yet,
has not appeared in the social world to any
great extent; but this winter she has taken
a large house in a fashionable quarter and
intends to entertain on a grand scale. Mrs.
Endicott is very select in her entertain
ments, while Mrs. Vilas, who is a sweet and
charming lady, lias won a host of friends in
this city by the delightful manner in which
she receives her friends. The mourning in
the house of the Secretary of State has
closed the doors of that mansion to the pub
lic, but there is no such reason for the dark
ness of Attorney Genera] Garland's residence
during the season, except that he does not
care for entertainments, and his aversion to
dress suits and reception finery has long put
him on the list of nou-receivers.
There are very many membei-s of Con
gress who cannot afford to rent largo houses
and entertain in the lavish maimer which
the society of Washington seems to expect.
They have, therefore, preferred to take
apartments at hotels where they can enter
tain as they wish without the great expense
entailed by keeping up largo private resi
dences.
The most prominent of tho#iotel livers is
Speaker Carlisle. He has lived at the Riggs
House ever since he has been Speaker, and
is considered one of the standbys of the
hotel. He has a cosy little apartment on
the third floor of the main house, with a
pretty little parlor where Mrs. Carlisle re
ceives her friends who call socially.
As the wife of the Speaker of the House
Mrs. Carlisle is obliged to hold many large
receptions, and the hotel parlors are always
at her disposal. On her reception days a
great stream of carriages can always be
seen near the G street entrance to the hotel.
Mrs. Carlisle is a great favorite in society
here, for she is a most charming lady, full
of womanly wisdom and motherly grace.
The Speaker himself is os great a favorite
in Congress as his wife is in society. They
live alone because their two sons are grown
and are in business in Wichita, Kan. The
boys are both prominent lawyers, and by
the help of their father and their own
ability have won themselves a name in
their adopted town.
Mrs. Carlisle usually during the season
has some young lady friends from Ken
tucky staying with her at the hotel. She
is very fond of young ladies’ society, and
generally manages to gather about her
young people who are pleasing in manner
and charming in person. Mrs. Carlisle is
quite noted for the pleasant little teas she
gives iu her apartments, and through the
session those who receive invitations to
these entertainments consider themselves
lucky. Tho Speaker and Mrs. Carlisle are
much sought after in society, and their card
ca-se is always full of invitations. The
Speaker devotes two or throe nights in each
week to dinners, and through the session ho
is kept almost as busy as his wife attending
to the social features of Washington.
Another of the well-known h tel livers is
Col. William R. Morrison, the celebrated
terifT reformer. Ho lias lived at Willard's
Hotel for five or six years, and has become
one of the old standbys there. Mr. Morri
son has no children. He and his wife have
pleasant apartments, and often have young
people visiting them. Col. Morrison, how
ever, is not given much to society, but Mrs.
Morrison lias her reception days, and as
tve are a number of members living
at Willard’s, tho parlors are always full on
these occasions. Mi-s. Morrison took ns
much interest in the tnrift - debates in Con
as her husband. She was remarkably
W ®ll read oh the subject, and studied every
Point in the discussion, and was a groat aid
to bßr husband in the contest.

HER HAIR TURNED WHITE.
A Lady Who Bears the Marks of a
Night of Terrible Suspense.
From the Pittsburg Dispatch.
A party of doctors and ladies were dis
cussing yesterday a question which interests
everybody of this terrestrial sphere, namely,
the snows of time which sooner or later
must whiten the head of President and
peasant, and a layman who was also present
said: “I know of a man who but a few
weeks ago had a moustache as brown and
darkly brown as the fur of a seal. Now- it
is almost white in places, and not a hair of
it but is gray. The change took place in
the space of one night, that succeeding the
death of a daughter who was to him tiie
prettiest little maid that ever crowed for
kisses. Intense grief directly caused this
sudden transformation.*’
Upon this one cf the ladies said: “I hap
pened to be in New Orleans a few years
after the close of the war and at a reception
one night I met a young lady who could
not have been more than 20 years old, but
w-hose hair was of a pure silvery white.
She was a beautiful girl, and with this
crown of silver naturally attracted every
one’s attention. I learned how she came to
have white hair soon afterward. She was
the daughter of a wholesale grocer in New
Orleans, and during the early part of the war
lived with her parents in that city. Just
before New Orleans was occupied by Gen.
Butler, her father, who was then an in
valid, took his family out to a small plan
tation that he owned near Baton Rouge.
At the same time an uncle of the girl I am
talking of managed to run the blockade
and took with him a very large quantity of
diamonds and other valuables—for he was
a jeweler. He reached England in safety
with his precious cargo.
“The family enjoyed peace and security
for some months at Baton Rouge until Gen.
Butler had hoisted the stars and stripes in
New Orleans. One night soon after that
event a party of bummers, or camp follow
ers, said to be attached to the Union army,
but who, as I believe, may just as likely
have been thieves and cutthroats from the
purlieus of New Orleans, made a descent
upon the house at Baton Rouge. It was
nearly midnight when the family was
aroused by loud knocking at the door. The
door a minute or two later was burst in and
five or six masked men entered the house.
They proceeded at once to the room where a
lamp was burning by the bedside of the
master of the house, who was very ill at the
time.
“I should have stated,” said the lady,
“that the gentleman’s name wag Hythe, if I
remember rightly. One of the masked men,
revolver in hand, stepped up to Mr. Hythe
and said; ‘We want the diamonds and
jewelry you brought away from New
Orleans.' Mr. Hythe realized at once that
tho robbers had mistaken him for his
brother, the jeweler, and tried to explain
that he had no diamonds or anything of any
particular value in tho house. They re
fused to believe him, and proceeded to make
a thorough search of the house. Mr. Hy ttie’s
two daughters had been sleeping in the
room below their father’s, but of course
were awakened by the noise. Their
experience of the tide of war which
had swept over them once or twice
before enabled them to under
stand the situation at once. By good for
tune they were able to get out of the house
in safety and reach a neighboring cane
brake, where they hid. Meanwhile the rob
bers, having discovered nothing but a little
Confederate money, tried to induce Mrs.
Hythe. whom they had captured, to reveal
the whereabouts of the treasure. She could
only affirm what her husband had said.
They subjected her to horrible indignities
and finally set fire to the house. She es
caped from the building. The girls in their
hiding place saw the torches applied; saw
their father, as the flames leaped up to the
roof, come to the window of his room and
then fall back into the fire. They dared not
move, and when the neighbors found them,
hours later, the hair of the younger girl,
then about 15 years old, had turned as white
almost as her cheeks, bloodless with fright.
Her hair had been black as night before. ’
IRVING’S “FAUST” ASSAILED.
Rev. Dr. Warren Denounces it Before
a Young People’s Meeting.
From the Sew York World.
Two hundred delegates to the second an
nual convention of the Young People’s
Christian Association, of this city, were
present in Calvary Baptist Church on Fifty
seventh street Thursday afternoon. After
an address by Dr. James E. Newcomb,
Secretary Glantear read the report of the
Executive Committee, which was accepted.
An amendment to the constitution was dis
cussed and carried. The “Workers’ Training
Class” was discussed by James McCon
aughy, General Secretary of the Twenty
third street branch of the Young Men’s
Christian Association. He was assisted by
a “specimen” class, composed of bright
young men and women. After an address
on the “Young People’s Society of Christian
Endeavor,” by Rev. F. E. Clark, of Boston,
a resolution of sympathy was passed on the
death of Algernon S. Sullivan, who was a
delegate to the convention.
The evening session was opened by read
ing of a letter of regret from Rev. Dr. R. S.
McArthur, who was to have delivered an
address of welcome, but was suddenly called
to Washington. Rev. J. Benson Hamilton
followed on “How Can Young People’s
Societies Benefit the Church 1” Rev. Abbott
E. Kittredgo made an address. Then t le Rev.
Dr. E. Walpole Warren, the pastor of the
Church of the Holy Triuity, which church
has been sued for violating tho law as to the
importation of contract labor iu having, as
alleged, contracted with him to come to
this country to be its pastor, was introduced
to sjieak oii the “Moral Influence of Young
People’s Associations, on Young People and
Their Amusements.’’ Dr. Warren referred
briefly to his subject. He said that theatres
and balls were perhaps enjoyable, but not
satisfactory. His son bad never been inside
of a theatre and he had never allowed his
daughter to be taught dancing. He paid his
attention to theatricals in general, and then
raising his voice said:
“And now we come to the higher class of
theatricals as represented by Henry Irving
and Miss Terry in ‘Faust.’ ’Faust’ is filthy
in its conception and foul in its morality.
•I M Traviata' and others of its kind are un
holy. When you go to these you turn your
back on your God.”
He then turned his attention to balls, say
ing:
"If there were no male partners there
would l>e no balls. If there were no women
on the stage no men would go to tho thea
tre.” In regard to Sunday calling and
driving, the speaker said that like other
amusements they were harmless to a certain
extent, and were productive of considerable
work for the servants. “In my church,” he
added, "a society of ladies lias been formed,
who have agreed not to give or receive calls
■Sunday. Do likewise and devote at least
ouo dav to God.”
These remarks caused a sensation, and
when the secretary arose and asked how
many of those present assented to tho
speaker's sentiments, only six hands were
raised.
“Thanks," said Mr. \V arren, “I am glad
to see somebody appreciates."
Thera was a subdued titter from some
quarters, and a toil young man rushed down
the aisle and spoke of “the press being pres
ent,” the small showing ol hands would be
spoken of, and asked toat the question lie
repeated When this was done at least a
third of the audience found that they as
sented to tho minister’s views.
Thomas Carlyle,
the great Keotch author, suffered all his life
with dyspepsia, which mode his own life

friends not a little pain because of his fret

THE MORNING NEWS: FRIDAY, DECEMBER 1(5, ISS7.
A GENUINE LONDON FOG.
Beautiful Atmospheric Phenomena in
the GreaS Metropolis.
From the Xcw York World.
London, Dec. 2. — I have often heard
American visitors in London say that they
wished they could experience a real London
fog. Most people who come here are very
much disappointed if they do not at once
meet with all the experiences common to
London life. London is greatly celebrated
for it.s fogs. I was here last spring during
the stormy months of March and April,
and during that time I thought that the at
mosphere became thick enough to be consid
ered foggy, but I was told there was no real
fog during that time. The month which has
just passed, November, is the mouth of the
worst fogs. Fortunate American visitors
in London at this timo have Iveeq able to see
what a real London fog is. The fog, made
up of smoke, cloud ami gloom, which has
swept down upon London two or three
times during the past mouth, certainly
could not be matched in any other city of
the world. What is known a-s black fog
generally follows a sharp hoar frost,. Intense
cold is the basis of the fogs. The air be
comes in the first place excessively damp
and then there sweeps down upon the town
a great cloud, mingling with the sooty
smoko until it chokes the streets, enters
houses, attacks the throat and eyes, and in
some cases causes a suspension of traffic en •
tirely in the streets.
The fogs of this month have been very
peculiar. They would begin black and then
would change to light. The sun every now
and then would seek to break through the
cold mass of fog, soot and grime, but it
never succeeded. The wind alone is able to
carry off the fog, but the yellow light of
the sun shimmering through the fog pro
duces at times strange effects. Tiie town
would soem to be standing m some sort of
floating mixture, and then the sun would
disappear and the fog would change almost
as soon as it could be told into a black, cold,
dense mass of solid cloud and smoke. Twice
during the month this black fog became so
denso, so dark and so think that you could
not see a foot beyond you in looking out of
the window. Of course gas would be
lighted all over the town. Out in the streets
you could not see half way across, and great
care had to be exercised in going about. In
the direction of the underground railroad
the fog was the thickest and at the worst.
In addition to the darkness and inconve
nience of not being able to see where you
are going, having to exercise extraordinary
precautions against being run over, there
was also a constant choking feeling, occas
ioned by the difficulty in breathing the
horrible atmosphere of soot and smoke.
More than this, the intense cold and the
excessive dampness were harder to endure
than tiie cold in the most northerly
countries. The touch of the fog
was like ice. Its dampness and its cola
penetrated to the very marrow of one’s
bones. It was almost impossible to heat the
rooms or house when the icy breath of the
fog was coming in at every opening. Un
less a house were kept tightly closed against
the invading gloom it became filled and
choked. The sensation of oppression from
the presence of the fog in the town was
something that could only bo overcome by
those who have strong healtli and great
vital resources. Every time a black fog
visits London it means death to a number
of old and delicate people. It is particu
larly fatal to infants and to people with
lung or throat troubles. People with a
tendency to lung or throat troubles cannot
live in London in the winter without having
their maladies greatly aggravated. But
there is this much to be said about even this
fog infection; It does not endure very long
at a time. It is rare for a fog of
the intensely disagreeable character men
tioned to last more than six or eight hours.
The longest fog on r ecord is the celebrated
fog of eight or ten years ago. This fog
continued for thirty-six hours. It was so
black and so dark that people could not see
more than two feet beyond them. Traffic
during that thirty-six hours was entirely
suspended. The great business of London
was brought to a standstill and kept in
check by this black and most merciless fog.
Few people ventured out of doors, and the
iolice on their beats with difficulty were
able to find their accustomed points to guard
and visit. During the thirty-six hours that
this celebrated fog continued there was not
a breath of air stirring. The moment that
the wind begins to blow the fog shifts and
the worst is soon over.
The Strange Case of a Patient in the
San Francisco Hospital.
From the Alta California.
There is a singular case in'the City and
County Hospital, which rivals in its strange
ness that of the celebrated Alexander St.
Martin, who, it will be remembered, had a
hole torn in his side by the discharge from
a gun, through which the interior of the
stomach could be plainly seen and the pro
cesses of digestion watched. By this means
the digestibility of different foods were de
termined, and' for many years St. Martin
has been the cause celebre of medical
science. The case before referred to, that of
Edgar Jackson, also a Canadian, rivals St.
Martin’s. He is a native of New Brunswick,
28 years old, and up to a year ago was work
ing in the 3hingle mills of Humboldt county,
in this State.
Twelve months ago he was seized with an
attack of pleurisy, which was treated with
indifferent success in the country, and when
he came into the county hospital here his
lungs were suffused with water and pus. By
means of a hollow needle and a pump at
tached, technically known as an aspirator,
his chest was tapped twenty-five times and
in all eight gallons of water drawn off.
Still the effusion continued, and as pus
was forming, the attending phy ician saw
the necessity for prompt action and deter
mined to make a freS opening into the side.
An incision was male into the left side over
six inches in length, severing the third,
fourth and fifth ribs, portions of each rib
being taken off, so that the opening would
not close. Through this the water and pus
made their escape freely, and the patient's
life was saved for the tune.
It w< s found that the pressure of the
water on the left lung had forced that organ
into the upper part of the thoracic cavity,
and it had solidified, leaving the heart ami
its surrounding membrane,the pericardium,
exposed to view. At present the patient is
getting on nicely, and if no accident occurs
will make a complete recovery, although ho
will have lost the use of his left lung. A
reporter saw the wound dressed recently.
Into the gaping hole in the side was pumped
about ft quart of soap and water, which
bubbled and foamed under the pressure
from the contraction and expansion of the
right lung. Turning on his side, the water
escaped from the patient, and '.here, in full
sight, was the heart,every pulsation plainly
perceptible, the systole awl disastole, the
contraction and expansion of the human
engine, which has forever puzzled philoso
phers. and which will continue to do so, in
lull view. It is safe to say that never be
fore have the inner workings of the human
frame been so exposed to view with so little
apparent inconvenience to the patient. He
says he suffers no pain.
Inundated With Silver Dollars.
From the Philadelphia Times.
The employes of the Sub-Treasury wore
somewhat excited the ether day about a
curious accident which happened in one of
the big vaults. A number of officials, ap
pointed bv Secretary of the Treasury Fair
child, have been busy there over a week
counting and examining the money in the
keeping of Assistant United States Treas
urer S. Davis Page. As the coins are ex
amined and counted they are placed in large
bags and stacked up against the side of the
vault, reaching to the top. Several million
dollars bad been examined ui and placed in
the pile, when one of the bags began to slip
and down came one of the tier- with a crash,
the force bursting the bags and making a
deep carpet of silver dollars on the floor.
Several clerks were In the vault, but they
ran out and were not injured. It will re
quire several days to recount the coin*.

" Suprlalively Perfect! ’’
Messrs. Chickering <f Sons:
Gentlemen—After many years’ experi
ence as a pianist in this country and
Europe, and after having used the instru
ments of the leading makers here and
abroad, it is with pleasure that I give to
you my matured opinion upon your pianos.
In them I find " a purest, truest and most
musical tone, t >thor with an action
which will answer n.y demands equally in
the most piannissimo playing and in the
heaviest forte effects, and combining these
qualities with an almost endless resonance.
I can find for them no more fitting praise
l lr: n that of the Great Maestro, Franz Liszt,
who declares them "Superlatively Perfect.”
(Signed) JULIE Rive-King.
New York, October 11, 1887.
For the BEST Piano, mind you
we say BEST, buy the Chicker
ing. To be sure it's not the
Highest-Priced Piano sold, but
it’s the BEST afl the same.
