Edmund's information respecting

rate. Clark, who has succeeded to
certain Of the routine duties of John
Brown (such as attending the queen
III her walks and drives, leading her
pony and carrying her plaids), is not
nephew of that servitor, and his APP
polntment is not at all to be taken as
an intimation that he is held in any
special favor, for he certainly has not
succeeded to any of Browns influence
nor has he even been allowed to occu-
Ply the rooms which were allotted to
the late personal servant. Hugh
Brown, who was brought up from
Scotland by DR.. Profeit in the spring,
just after his brothers death, will
probably in course Of tirae be appoint
ed to be the special attendant of the
queen. At present he occupies an ex-
ceIlent house in the Home Park at

nal outdoor duties about the castle.

of Washington and vicinity, and tho widow

Maryland line, she says:

only few scattered houses, most of which
were near the navy yard gate. The cottage
at Valverde was small house with three
rooms, wooden chimney, and no window

means had two put in. He built % brick

a two-story frame house on place previously
bought, where his first child was born. This
owner, Mr.'Notley, ,Madaux, married daugh-
ter of Col Truemau Skinner living near Not
tingham. In 1910 he finished his brick house
and moved into IL, leaving his father and
mother to occupy the cottage. He had ten
children to come to maturity. He died in
1s46 and his wife in 1859. His name is
cherished by all who knew him, though but
few remain to tell his worth.
New Valverde, on 'Damson' hill, was n
small log hut with well cultivated garden,
inctosed by good fence. At tho back of the
hut was number of damson trees. Vegeta-
bles, sweet potatoes, peanuts, pigs, and chick
ems were the product of the establishment

prince, bought from q ship at Alexandria by
the grandfather of Mrs Hanson of street

in this country, learned to speak his fathers
language. The father was a SILENT reticent,
dignitled man, very industrious, and always
seemed afraid of men of his own color He

The marriage of Miss Florence P. Sullivan
and Maj. John S. Duffie, was quietly solemn
lied last evening at st. Johns church, George

was filled with guests, one noticeable feature
being the children present, at least two hun
dred being in the gallery They were mostly
from Miss Sullivan's day and Sunday school.
Promptly at o'clock the organist, Prof.
Middleton announced the approach of the
bridal party, which was preceded by the ush-
ers, Messrs. Calvert, Dryden, and Welch, and
the brides mother with Mr.. Storrs.
Miss Sullivan was escorted by Mai. Duffie.
Her toilet was a lovely one of white silk with
puffings of lace, square corsage of inserting,
elbow, sleeves, and pointed basque. A liech
ruff at the throat and garnature of natural
flowers, and flowers on her simply arranged
coiflure with bouquet of tea rosebuds, added
to the brides attractiveness. Rev. Mr.. Lind
sey officiated. The newly welded couple left
last evening for Rehoboth Beach, N. j. They
will also go 20 Cape May for a months stay.

Queer Freak OF Fashion.
Norristown Herald.

A New York society note says: "On Fifth
avenue lives lady who drives out every af-
ternoon in bonnet trimmed with clusters of
tiny green apples" 1t is decidedly strange
freak of fashion, that of utilizing a bonnet
as pheton and driving out in it-though
some of the bonnets worn at theaters are
plenty large enough for such purpose.
