navigation the river front shows decidedly
improved business appearance. Many of
the wharves last season were repaired and
put in good condition, but there is still
room for improvement, and rs this city is
believed TO be on the eve of another pros
porous period, it would be to the interest of
property owners to put their houses III

BANQUET.-Old Dominion Colnmandery
No IL, h. T., held reunion at their asylum
last night and those fortunate enough to
be present spent al evening which they
will long recollect with pleasure. The affair
which was intended TO bring together the
Sir knights Of the Commandery and their
families, was of rather an informal nature
aud devoid of that ceremony which is SO
apt TO become irk some and make an even
ing one of fatigue rather than OF pleasure.
Invitations To about $50 guests were is
sued and by s O'Clock Washington Lodge
rooms, where the reception took place, were
crowded with ladies and gentlemen, all on
pleasure intent.
During the evening the company was
highly entertained with vocal and instru
mental music by Misses Yeatman and Car
rigan, Meisrs. r. Yeatman and C.J.Miles and
by the Washington Masonic choir quartette
Messrs tcko, Whipple, Hancock and Lille
bridge The recilations by little May Car
rigan were wonderful and amusing.
After all hour or so thus pleasantly spent
tho guests were summoned TO a magnificent
banquet which had been prepared in the
tommanderS 5 hall, Immediately above the
Lodge room and having repaired thither
beheld sight which MAS dazzling and
beautiful.
The principal table covered with read
cloth, formed il Greek cross and III the
angles smaller tables were spread giving the
most pleasing Impression To the eye. The
tables were ~ handsomely sci as the most
iaslidiuu- epicure could desire, and for
moment, but for Il moment only the guests
retrained from touching the viands which
were so temptingly prepared, IA it almost
seemed pity to wreck an object which
50 thoroughly pleased the eye to crafty the
more sordid sense OF appetite. But this
feeling lasted only moment and the thing
of beauty proved not to be Il JOY forever,
though il was tor an hour, and it Is safe TO
say that a feast was never more eagerly
puraken of or more thoroughly enjoyed.
The tables presented truly beautiful
appearance. The centre piece Of the prn
cpal one was Il pyramid cake, four feet
high, over which extended arches Of flowers
surmounted 10y beautiful dove, whose
plumage was as white and as pure as the
driven snow. AT each plate was bout oniare,
and pyramids of fruits aud flowers were in
protil5ion. Turkeys, OYSTER, salads, etc,
were served most trmpIingly by the caterer
OF the evening, Mr.. Nj. Ruben, who showed
excellent taste in his decorations and con
sunmate skill in the culinary art.
After supper toastS were proposed and
happily responded to by Sir Knights +. A.
Reed, of this city Eastman, OF Manchester,
n IT,; Holmes and Hancock, Of Wash
ington; lIe,lstice, of Philadelphia, aud
others. The company dispersed about mid
night.
During the evening kilograms were re-
ceivcd from Eminent Commander Sir
Knight James b. Blanks, of Appomattox
Commandery, No. 6, of Petersburg, tender
lug the congratulations of that commaudery
and from Sir Knight JOS Hopkins, Of lia-
gersown, regretting his absence.

Miss Mary Keefe, Dist Clayton,
is making a success of map drawing ID
her school, e.
Miss JESSIE Beiseker, of Austin, is
completing the summer term in District
90, Window
Miss Jessie L. Plummer, of Leroy, has
engaged school near Medley, Nebraska,
for next winter term.
Miss Terisa Walker, Dist 8, Benning-
ton, is one Of our progressive teachers,
whose methods are excellent.
Each teacher in the county is re-
quired to write out a full time program
and keep it posted for the use of pupils
and of visitors.
Principal II. E. Perrin will continue to
have charge of the Brownsville school
next year. Miss Helen L. Wilder will
probably be teacher in the primary de-
partment.
A number of our teachers have been
paying attention this summer to singing
as part of the daily school exercises.
They have found this a pleasant relief
for their pupils and have found little or
no difficulty in making it a success.
The teachers in our public schools are
responsible for the safe keeping of the
school furniture and apparatus under
their care. It is their duty to see that
these are not, in any way injured We
notice in several school rooms that the
wall maps are getting torn through care
lessness. These are too expensive and
useful to be thus destroyed. Our teachers
should repair them when they can, and
see that they are kept safely

SOCIETY WOMEN IN POLITICS.

Society is giving good deal of atten-
ton to politics just now. Your average
society woman is something of politi-
clan by association if not in nature. To
hear ones husband talked of, and to see
his name in print as possible or proba-
BILE candidate for the presidency, and to
picture oneself as mistress of the White
House, must interest the most unambi-
tious Of the sex, and your average society
woman is not especially lacking in ambi-
ton in this regard. Yet it cannot be
said of the wife Of many of the candidates
that they are especially known as adeps
in political manipulations. Indeed, of
only one of the number can this be sue
cessfully alleged. Mrs. Logan is the only
one of the entire list especially noted for
this sort of ability. The general impress
sion, however, is that she is really a bet
ter politician and manipulation than her
husband, whose boom has been so indus
triously worked. Probably no woman
in Washington is so well known in soci-i
ETY. as Mrs. Logan, and none would be-
more popular in the White House. She
is thorough diplomat, a woman Of keen
ability and broad experience, hand
some face set in frame of gray, almost
white hair, form we'll developed, con-
versational powers surpassed by few,
rare tact, and an acquaintance with
public men and affairs unequaled by that
of any woman in Washington. She
would be such mistress of the White.
House, as has seldom been seen there,
Mrs. Blaine is something like Mrs Logan
in some particulars: In personal appear
ance they are not unlike, and IN long
experience in social life in Washington
they are very similar. OF the two Mrs.
Blaine is the less a politician, and less
diplomat. She entertains handsomely
and frequently, and is not at all an un-
popular woman in society. Yet you see
and hear Mrs. Logan's name twice and
thrice during the season to that of Mrs,
Blaine's once. Mrs. Sherman, wife of
Senator Sherman, is even less prominent
in a social way than Mrs. Blaine. She
apparently takes little interest in affairs
political, and aside from few receptions
at her home during the season and at
tendance upon the leading social events,
she is very little seen. Mrs. Gresham,
wife OF the Postmaster General, who has
been little in Washington until the past
winter, appears to be possessed of some
of the qualities of diplomat and politi-t
clan, and made herself quite popular as
we'll as prominent in society last winter.
Mrs. Hawley, as mentioned in this CORE
spondence last week, is one af the busiest
women in Washington and takes as
great an interest in her husbands politi-
cal affairs as ally one. She watches eve
ry movement carefully, and though not
taking the active part in politics that
Mrs. Logan does, is thoroughly posted in
every detail of the situation. Mrs. Lin
coin probably gives less attention to poll
tics than almost any of the wives of
those prominently mentioned Washing-
ton Telegram.
