AMONG the many monuments to Nashlng-
ton is one which every visitor to the Cape
Nerd Isles will remember as one of the mos
colossal and marvellous freaks of natural
sculpture in existence. Along the further
side of the harbor of San Vicente (the prlncl-
pal town rises bold ridge of dark gray vol
canic rock, the crest of which forms an exact
likeness of Washington, lying face upward ~
if in sleep or death. The herO's large, Dlt

AMONG curious inventions for dinner parties

be noticed in this connection Is the latest style

WASHINGTON cannot be considered a gooC
matrimonial market. The young women dc
not find husbands easily in the society of tha
place. The proof of the fact is that there il
hardly a leading official or wealthy family
| there that has not one or two old maids upOf
/ its hands. This is notably true of some of tn,
most prominent and distinguished. Here arc
| daughters whose fathers have large wealth
and handsome positions. ct these daugh
tiers. who are thoroughly trained, well man
| nered and educated, do not find husbands
! Whether 1t is that these young ladies aim too
high or not Is unknown. 1t may be that thell
| fathers are not able to give them money
| enough to set them up in establishment
| equal to their own homes, and as natura
| consequence these young women n ay prefer
| the prestige and comfort OF their fathers
! handsome positions to the obscurity of marry
| ing humble citizens or the uncertainty IN
! vOyed IN marrying men who are not rich.

FOR 10 years Mrs. Charlotte Garfield 1--we,
in the village of Derby, Conn, respected by al
who knew her. About years ago she lost hel
| husband, and since then has lived alone in
small cottage overlooking the Naugatuci
| river Her husband left her several valuable
! building lots ana a good bank account. Since
| his death and until about 10 months ago she
has not cared for the society Of men. not ever
! the deacOns Of the church to which she be-
! longed. About 10 months ago she became ac-
/ quainted with Henry Baldwin, aged p, q
| clerk in the village store. The GXpertneSs
weighed goldfish infatuated the widow, and
| she invited him to her house. He called, and
| the acquaintance thus formed rpened into
| love, and a few weeks ago Derby was as
| founded with the report that they would soon
/ be married. At about O'Clock Tuesday night
! they called st the parsonage of the Rev. DR.
| Roberts, of Christ Church, Ansonla, and, in the
| presence of the minister's relatives, were
| made man and wife. When it became known
| in the town the excitement was intense Tin
! horns and COW bells were brought forth, and
| at about 10 O'Clock 200 men and boys headed
| by drnm corps, marched to the house of the
| newly welded couple, where, in the presence
of 500 more persons, serenade was given
! them. The band played ."Old Hundred IN
! honor of the bride. Call after call was made
| for the groom. and when he appeared IN the
/ door three cheers were given. The bride,
| who hung bashfully in the shadow of the
! door, was also heered. Mr.. Baldwin, attired
in his wedding garments, stepped on the
/ veranda in the glare Of hundred tOrchlights,
and thanked the crowd for the visit. In con-
/ clusion he invited them to a neighbOring
| saloon to drink to the health of his bride
Mrs. Baldwin claims that she loved her hus-

! of living alone and unprotected. The groom
| claims that he too Is in love with his wife, not
| with her ducats.
