SOCIAL Notes.-The Orpheus Club held
its autumn social reunion Saturday night at
Father Mathew Hall. The room was taste
fully decorated and the floor canvased. The
party was select, and the management by
committees of the club was in every way sat-
! isfactory. There was large attendance of
guests, who were delighted with the courte-
| sizes extended by the hosts of the evening.
Saturday evening the young gentlemen and
| lady friends of Il. B. Carson, step-son of f.
A. Hornblower, came down upon him with a
complete and elaborate SURPRISE of which he
| had not the slightest warning. The object
was to aid him in celebrating his twenty-tirst
birthday. The Golden Eagle Hotel was lit
orally taken possession of, a band was brought
in, dancing inaugurated, and social festivities
| from that time on to midnight were INDUCED
| in with all the abandon and merriment pecu-
| liar to bounding youth. A handsome collation.
was spread in the dining-room at IL o'clock,
and as to this part of the entertainment.
| Mr.. Hornbower was compelled to confess
that himself and wife were in the secret.
| Friday evening at Freeport, at the residence
of her parents, Miss Emma Greer gave
social reunion to her friends. There was a
large congregation of people. especially OF the
youth and beauty of the vicinity for miles
around. There was music, dancing and a
supper, and every detail was attended to by
the hostess calculated to minister to the
pleasure of her guests. Among those present
note was made of Lucius Beckley R. Hall,
w. Beckley, Charles Frye, Frank Freeman,

SHOULD BE SToPPED.-There was univer-
sal complaint throughout the Second and
Fourth Wards Saturday evening, about the
sitting condition Of the atmosphere, and hun
dreds of citizens were outspoken in their de-
sire that the city authorities shall to-day take
action in the matter. 1t has been the Gus
tom, the people allege, for weeks for some cit.
! liens to rake up and set on fire in the streets
the fallen leaves and other rubbish Just at
DUSK when there is no breeze. Tie piles
shoulder for hours, and the result is that with
the dull heavy smoke and the clouds of dust
raised by vehicles, the whole southern and
southwestern portions of the city are over
whelmed in sitting cloud that is prejudicial
| to health, makes the streets well nigh i'm
passable and renders the evening hours in
| tolerable. Saturday from to 7:30 P. N. it
was impossible on NJ, n, o, 2 and Q streets,
| from Second to Thirteenth, to see through
the fog Of vaporized filth for the distance of a
single block, and in many places the sight
could not pierce the cloud the width OF the
! street. Physicians state that sick people are
greatly distressed by the smoke, and that the
nightly smudge, combined with the dust in
the air, is more detrimental to public health
than thousand times the present quantity
of rubbish in the streets, alleys and lots, can
be. 1t would seem, say the compliments,
that if leaves, old boots, rags, dried manure
and the scrapings of alleys, chicken yards
and back lots must be burned that this pro-
cess of disposal should be entered upon only
when stiff breeze is blowing. and not then
until after the first rains have fallen. These
autumn eveHings, says one correspondent,
the people desire to enjoy in promenade, or
on porch and balcony, but now they are COM
PEELED to imprison themselves and batten
close every door or window" Observation
confirms the truth of these complaints in
every essential particular.
ATTEMPTED BURGLARIEs. = On Saturday
evening, while Judge 7. B. Mcfarland was
attending the Republican jubilee, another at.
tempt was made by burglars to enter his res
idenee, on FL street. The hook which fas-
tened the screen over the door at the back
side Of the house was Strengthened by prying
with some instrument, and the screen thus
opened. Attempt was next made to pry open
the door, but it was strongly fastened with
double lock, and entrance was not made.
The same evening, while Attorney General
A l. Hart was attending the same meeting,
his wife, who remained at home, heard burg
lars trying to force door leading TO the base
ment. Mrs. Hart took revolver in hand and
going to the door demanded to know what
was wanted. The operators failed to make
reply and quickly departed. 1t will be OBJ
served that both OF these houses were selected
for operations from the fact that both Judge
Mcfarland and Acknowledgement Hart were
advertised to speak at the jubilee.
The WISE ANIMALs-NEw SEASON. In
response to very general desire, the Sher-
man educated horses, Barney, Tommy, and
Jack the Clown, will be exhibited here for a
few evenings more, beginning this evening at
the tent on K street, between Eighth and
Ninth. As there are III tricks which these
horses do, Mr.. Sherman is enabled to intro
duee something new every evening. still
those who have seen Tommy walk the
plank or Barney waltz, or Jack throw his
rider, Tommy and Barney go to bed, or
Barney turn himself into hat rack, will
hardly be content to have those wonderful
feats omitted The attendance at the Sat
urday matinee was excellent, and more
thoroughly satisfied audience never sat be-
| meath canvas. The exhibition is an enter.
tainment in the highest sense that can be im.
agined of any exhibition of intelligence by
dumb brutes.
