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. A Postmaster Resigns. Montezuma, Ga., Dec. 14.—William H.

Colgate’s Cashmere Bouquet Perfume is H luxurious, yet inexpensive present which eiery jady will appreciate, i 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 miserable, and caused his best and truest friends not a little pain because of his fret fulness. Dyspepsia generally arises from dinsHsP of tlw> liver, &nd as Hi. i ierces “Golden Medical Discovery” cures all dis eases of this groat, gland, it follows that while all cannot be Carlyles, even with dys iiepsia, all can lx- free from the malady, while emulating hi* virtues. 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*. A Joe. Hair Brush for sc. at Weisbein's. CHEAP ADVERTISING-.
