GOING TO BE MARRIED.
Congressman Glover to Wed Miss Pat
ton of California,


The special correspondent Of the ST. Louis
Globe Democrat sends the following to his paper
in regard to Congressman Gloyer's APPROACH
ing marriage:
Alta dinner party given by Congressman
Glover b the Missouri delegation and invited
guests late last session, Mr.. Randall moved
that 1t was the sense Of the gathering that Mr..
Glover ought to get married. Mr.. Morrison
seconded the motion, with q few remarks and
the question was put. The chorus OF yeas
made the china rattle. Such distinguished
and unanimous advice was not TO be disre.
garded. II Is announced that Mr.. Glover will
be married during the coming holidays. His
absence tho past two or three days from his
seat has been occasloned by attention TO certain
indispensable preliminaries In New York. Tho
young lady Is Miss Patton, well known In
Washington ana San Francisco society. The
family consists Of Mrs Patton aud five daugh.
tiers, MIR. Glovers fianceo being the Oldest OF
Ihe young ladies. The Pattons were California
and Mrs. Patton took her daughters abroad to
educate them. The residence in San francisco
was held until recently. although occupied
Patton and her daughters came TO Washington,
and were at once received In the best circles OF
society. They lived at the Arlington for a year,
and then site was purchased q little beyond
James g. Blaine's new mansion for siO0, 900, and
$4,000 was expended on residence. The
place Is considered the finest In Washington.
y is situated Just beyond Dupont circle, in tho
direction in which the fashionable quarter is
extending.
:. In the speculation continually going on In
Washington real estate, some OF the shrewdest
operators are women. Army and navy officers
and civil officials have from time TO time made
Investments which have turned out we'll, and
their widows and daughters have developed a
taste and an aptitude for handling property.
This has tended TO make real estate speculation
fashionable among the ladies, and their deal
ings form no incOnsiderablo feature OF the
market Soon amer Mrs. Patton came to Wash.
ington she began TO handle real estate. aud she
is now well known MS the most extensive spoc-
ulator Of her sex In the city. The real estate
men all know and respect her shrewduess In
business matters. She Is generally known
among them rs "the rich California widow"
She keeps her own counsel WELL and the value
OF the Patton estate is only matter of surmise
The Caliiornians at whose houses Mrs Patton
and her daughters are always welcome. and by
whom they are spoken Of in the highest terms,
say the estate can not be less than 90, 900. .00O,
and some put the figures higher. The young
ladies OF the family are sensible, highly intel
lectual, and have all the culture and accom-
piishments the best schools In Europe could
give them.

Christmas is Coming! !

The number Of ladies who have
thronged our house during the
past week and availed them
selves of our timely and season
able reduction of TEN PER GENT
on all purchases of boys and
children's clothing, attest strong
ly the popularity OF our methods.
They were loud In their admira-
tion Of the beautiful styles and
odd conceits to be found in our
matchless stock. The pleasure
we derive from the happiness to
which we contributed, and which
they took pains to show, amply
recompenses us for the loss we
sustain financially, through our
great reduction of TEN PER
GENT from marked prices on all
boys and children's clothing.
In our mems department our
strong point is our Superb Stock
Of Overcoats. We have only
space enough left to refer to two
kinds in four colors. One is u
West of England Kersey in
brown and blue; both warranted
fast; lined throughout with the
finest satin; reduced from $50
to S23. The other is a Chinchilla
Beaver in gray and brown, also
lined. both simply elegant;
reduced from S25 to $40. If you
need an overcoat don't delay as
these are going rapidly.

at the stock exchange to day showed a still

operators as regards the speculation. The at

The small activity displayed was confined TO
three OF four special stocks, and the usual
leaders OF the market were dull and listless
throughout There was fair business In the
first halt hour only, during which time
slight effort was made by the bulls TO advance
quotations which were supplemented by some
little buying by the foreign houses. Louisville

tain unfavorable newspaper reports In regard
TO the company was factor in advancing its
price.
Reading and Jersey Central were the prom,-
nent weak stocks Of the day, the former being
affected by the announcement that holders OF
the general mortgage bonds, and the first so.
Central was the object Of special bear attacks
throughout the afternoon. There was little
movement TO prices until after p. m, when
