Se ean tas isan OLANCY M . mee FROM THE CAPITAL. THE GAYETIES OF SOCIAL LIFE ECLIPSE CONGRESS. Bome of the Season's Debutantes—~The Stevenson Girls Unspolled by Atten- tions—~dJane Faller. Julia Scott, Ethel Blanchard, and Others. Washington Letter m ONGRBESS will be ® eclipsed, in a social sense, by the inter- est. which will cen- ter about the many young ladies who will make their first appearance this winter in. the gay set at the capi- tal. Most conspic- uous among them will be the two daughters of Vice-Pres!i- dent Adlai E. Stevenson. The Steven- sons live at the Normandie hotel, where they hare had apartments for several years; in fact, since coming to Wash- ington in-their-present political posi- tion. The Vice-President and Mrs. Stevenson have a pretty, comfortable JANE FULLER. chamber adjoining a large and hand- somely furnished parlor, where the two young ladies occupy rooms above. When Mrs. Stevenson gives her recep- tions the parlors of the hotel are al- ways at her service. Perhaps there are no. young ladies in town who will receive more social at- tention this winter or more notice in the press than the two Stevenson girls, yet to their credit it must be said they are certainly unspoiled so far by the constant attention which their move- ments attract, They are both simple and perfectly natural in manner, total- ly devoid of affectation, and they dis- like anything that brings them con- spicuously into public notice. Mrs. Stevenson, recognizing the fact that her husband’s position demands a constant sacrifice on her part, is most kind to all who approach her and her motherly heart seems to invite the confidence of those she meets. It is not an easy “position to fill, for there are numberless calls on her time. Still it is yet to be said that she has failed in a single in- stance to help her husband in every sense of the word, or that anyone made a demand on her time that she did not | cheerfully accord. Among the other debutantes of the season will be Miss Jane Fuller, the youngest daughter of the chief. justice, and if the healtn of her mother per- mits, she will make her first appearance in society within a few days. Miss Ful- ler inherits the good looks that have also fallen to the lot of her sisters. She is expert on,the wheel and spends much of her time out of doors. Miss Julia Scott, daughter of Mrs. | Scott, who is a sister of. Mrs. Adlai Stevenson, is one of the buds of the be three young ladies on the carpet at the same time. Mrs. Scott has taken the home ef Mr. Fairchild Carpenter and is expected to entertain a great deal during the season, as she has one daughter already in society and her other one is ready to appear about New Year’s. At present the family expect that Miss Julia Scott, who is now in Paris, to reach town by the 12th of this mongh. The Scott mansion is beauti- fully furnished in exquisite taste, and is situated in a fashionable neighborhood. The Miss Scott already introduced is named Letitia, so that there are two JULIA SCOTT. Julias and two Letitias in the Scott and Stevenson families. The daughter of the rich congress- man, Francis G. Newlands, will also make her first appearance in society. So will Miss Ethel Blanchard, daughter of the senator from Louisiana, and Miss Margaret Gana, daughter of the minis- ter from Ch#i. Miss Ethel Blanchard brunette beauty, She has @ slender figure, black hair with a natural curl, dark eyes and a clear complexion, She is a very intellectual girl and devoted to study, spending most of her time at hor books, Mrs. Senator Blanchard has a remarkable talent for composition, and it is from her mother that Miss Ethel inherits her fondness for litera- ture. As this will be her first winter in society and she is the only child in the family, she expected to create quite a sensation among the younger set. . Miss Gana, the daughter of Senor Domingo Gana, is a slight blonde with timid ways and a girlish figure. . She does not appear to be more than 16, but is the oldest girl, having five brothers and sisters, Her mother is a beautiful brunette with charming manners. The Ganas have recently moved into a new home in the same row as that in which are the residences of Attorney-Ganeral Harmon and Senator Sherman. Speaker Reed’s wife and daughter are with him at the Shoreham, and they have a pretty suite of rooms on the eighth floor. Mis Reed is a sweet- looking blonde, very school-girlish in appearance, and is the especial pet of her father. Mrs. Reed leads a quiet life, going but seldom ~in society, but she is very proud of her distinguished husband. Crowds of visitors pour in upon the Reeds all day, but as she has been in town only a few days, Mrs, Reed has not been able to see anyone. Minister Hatch, from Hawaii, expects to go to housekeeping next month, as his wife is much averse to boarding. There are two children in the family, Gilchrist, boy of 3. Since their arrival, the Hatches have been stopping at the Richmond hotel, Mrs. Hatch was a Miss Alice Hawes, of San Francisco, where she was born and educated. She is a young woman with plenty of good looks, a plump figure and easy man- ners. Mr. Hatch is a native of Ports- mouth, Mass., and hag been for years 4 prominent lawyer in Honolulu. Hatch seems to think that there is no danger of the present. form of govern- ment being overturned, and that the re- public is rooted on a permanent basis. She has often dined with the former queen, who is an intelligent woman, but is not likely to regain her throne. As the greater part of the population is white, Honolulu is a delightful place in a social sense, and the number of ves- sels always in port makes the town re- semble a naval post. Mrs. Hatch likes society, and her home will be one ofjthe most attractive intown. But her tastes are more in the domestic than in the literary line. Mrs. Thurston, wife of the senator from Nebraska, is living at thé Arling- ton, as the children were left in the |children, two season, so that in one family there will | ETHEL BLANCHARD. girls and a _. boy, Clarence, who is 15. The lad is somewhat of a prodigy, and will this year compete a course far advanced enough enough to allow of his going to Harvard for the next term, “Ye is a fine-looking boy, and his remarkable studiousness places him at the head of many literary societies in which he is interesté®. The two little girls are taught at home. Mrs. Thurston is a motherly-looking woman with a low, gentle voice and a kindly manmer. She is an earnest thinker on the subjects of the day, and is opposed to woman’s suffrage on the grounds that, if the thing were fully carried out, many women would be obliged to serve on mixed juries, often to their great discomfort. Then, again, she says, as no woman would join the army, it is hardly fair that they should have a voice in the government, when they cannot support it by their arms. Mrs. Thurston takés a great interest in the politteal life of her husband, and has accompanied him for years in all of his campaignings. The Thurstons have a lovely home in Omaha, and did not break it up, as.the boy had to be. left there to finish his school term. The report that Senator Wetmore, of Rhode Island, was to take the Morton house is not true, for his family are set- tling in the house on Vermont avenue, 1014, which he has taken for the season. In speaking of the cost of keeping up a fire establishment in town here, Gov- ernor Morton once told a friend that the expense which his house brought him each year was $15,000 for every winter he spent, at the capital. The Morton home is ¢till empty, and as it requires | a large fortune.to keep it up in proper shape, it is not likely to be rented dur- is very dark, almost a Spaniard in her | ing this season.

His grandfa- ” ther,Josiah Quincy; was elected to the mayoral chair in 1828 and filled it with gréat credit to himself and advan- tage to the people, and in 1845 his father, Josiah Quincy, was chosen to the office, and fe-clected for three con- secutive terms. The present mayor was born in Quincy in 1859, in- heriting little besides good health and an honored name. He graduated from Harvard college in 1880, and immedi- ately began teaching in the Adams academy of his native town, of which Dr. William Byerett was at the time the head. A year later he went to Eu- rope, and spent some time in travel, after which he took a law course at Harvard and was admitted to practice in 1884. His first active participation in politics was as a member of the com- mittee of one hundred, which led tue | independent movement for Cleveland | against Blaine in 1884. In 1885 he was elected to the lower house of the Massa- chusetts legislature as a democrat and served for three years, deelining’*the’): fourth nomination in order to make an unsuccessful fight for congress against Blijah A. Morse in a strong republican district. In. Aone was again sent to the legislature and was re-elected in 1890. That year he became secretary | of the democratic state committee, the | next year chairman of the executive committee, and in 1892 he served as chairman of the full state committee, conducting a canvass of exceptional strength. In 1892 he was a delegate to the democratic national convention, and was chosen by his colleagues torep- resent the state on the national commit- tee. He was subsequently made ‘a | member of the executive committee of that body and chairman of the commit- | | 4 ) JOSIAH QUINCY, tee on campaign literature. inauguration of Cleveland in 1893 Mr. | Quincy was tendered the position of as- | sistant secretary Of state, which he at first declined, but when it was shown to him that his acceptance would grati- fy the president and serve the party | he yielded so far as to enter the office temporarily for the purpose of re-or- ganizing the consular service on the line of ideas entertained in common by President Cleveland and himself. The object having been achieved at the end of six months he resigned and turned his attention to business and profes- sional interests, He ‘s largely inter- ested in two important suburban elec- tric railways, to the management of which he gives personal attention. He is unmarried. He was the democratic candidate for mayor a year ago, and was then defeated by Mr. Curtis, the unsuccessful candidate this year. After the } ‘ Nine Lives Lasted Thirteen Days. No cat in Maine probably had more need of her nine lives than did one in a Monmouth store last week and week be- fore. The large oat-bin in-the rear of the feed store, holding an even carload, had justabeen filled, when the cat, chas- ing a mouse, went down head first be- tween the partitions of the bin, eight feet, to the floor beneath. There she remained on her head for thirteen days, or, until, the oats having been removed, she was discovered.

Dag the Church Ont. — The Rev. John Wharton of Stanmore, Westmorland; is vicar of one of the smallest and most elevated churches of England. The Church of St. Stephen nestles in the mountains 953 feet above sea level, In summer. the church is often well filled by tourists, but in win- ter, when great drifts lie in the valleys, the vicar is gratified when he has a congregation of three or four, One Sunday morning, after a severe snow storm, the vicar, feeling assured that the church would be buried in snow, rose before dawn, and started out for the church with a spade on his shoul- der. His expectations were fully real- ized. The church was hidden under an immiense drift. He set to work, and, after three hours’ steady labor, man- aged to find the door of the edifice. Mr. Whartcén not only tidies up the church, but rings his own service bell, plays his own harmonium, and, when occa- | occasion requires it, lights the church fires, Congressman Payne of New York.

In 1873} he was elected district attorney of | Cayuga county and re-elected in 1876. | Great Britain's Commander in Ashantee. Sir Francig Scott, commander of the | Ashantee expedition, has a thorough knowledge of the country as well as undoubted ability to perform the im-} portant duties which will devolve on him. While the government has abso- lute faith in his judgment, it was never- theless determined to give him a larger | force than was first contemplated, and it is possible that at least two regiments of British infantry will be dispatched withthe West India regiment, which will bear the brunt of the work. This regiment is probably the best of the colonial forces taking part in the ex- pedition. The men comprising it were recruited in the West Indies and Ja- maica and are armed with Lee-Mitford magazine rifles. They are a fearless lot of men, inured to hardship, as evi- denced. by the services rendered by them in the recent Sofia éxpedition. Sir Francis is greatly encouraged by the reputation which these stardy war- riors have acquired, for the Housa Field | For , of which he is inspector-general, | did not figure very creditably when | fighting the Sofias, being entirely too | ford of maneuvering under cover.
