Review of he Weeks Events.


A holiday weef always brings many festivi-
ties, and the past has been no exception. The
younger set Of girls and boys have enjoyed an
extra two days of vacation, and have met for
several entertainments in that time. A number
of receptions have been given. On Monday,
notwithstanding the pouring rain. the reception
given by Mrs. Henry Latham was largely at
tended. The idea seems to prevail that bad
weather will keep many away, and therefore an
extra effort is made by the guest to be present,
aud the result often shows the entertain
ment to be more numerously ATTENDED
than II the day had been beautiful On Tuesday
AIRS. w. F. Mason entertained about two nun
dred ladies, at the Denisen Hotel and the afair
was pronounced to be as elegant in every partic-
ular as any ever given here. AT O'CLOCK the
same afternoon Mr. Albert g. Ovens, we'll
known young gentleman, was married to MISS
Josephine, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas
Chandler, at the family residence, on West Yer

were given at the Insane Hospital Tuesday
was chosen as the day for the managers of the
several charitable institutions to meet at promi-
nent and accessible places to receive donations
for the institutions. Mid week was the univer-
sal Thanksgiving day, and there were very few
families in this city but what have felt the
pleasure of a kindly giving Or
receiving of the universal table decoration-the
turkey. Quite o number of churches took ad-
vantage of the day to solicit edibles and furnish
dinner to which members of tho congregation
are invited, and thus raise funds for the church.
As a reverse from the many gatherings, large
and small, the coming week bids fair to be very
quiet socially. Several weddings are to occur,
however, though they will take place at home.

Mr.. cLEvELANp,s HONESTY.

A Characteristic Endorsement on the
Record of a Federal Omcial Who
Thought the Presidents Order Amount
ed to Nothing.
The suspensions of District Attorneys
in one day for tlagranr violations Of
the Presidents order forbidding Of
ficials to take an active part in political
campaigns are the best possible proofs
of the sincere purpose behind that. Or
der. Upon the record of M. E. Benton's
contumacy President Cleveland in
dorsed "Let this officer be suspended
at once" Benton is a Democrat, and
the United States District Attorney fer
the Western district of Missouri. I'm
mindful of the Presidents order he
was making a regular stumping tour
of his State, with appointments adver-
tised for nearly every evening up to
the eve of election. He can keep his
appointments now, but it will not be
at the expense of the United States.
William A. Stone, United States Dis
trict Attorney for the Western district
of Pennsylvania, Republican, suffered
for like offense.
These examples were necessary to
vindicate the sincerity of the President,
which has never been questioned by the
people, although the object Of continu-
Gus partisan sneers. Here in Chicago
the Federal officials are paying strict

Eastern Proverbs.

There are some general and almost
constant peculiar1ties noticeable in these
proverbs, such as the pervading unpop-
ularity of the sister -in-law (who seems
to be in as bad odor as mothers-in-law
with us), the perpetual illusions to the
kangri or little portable Cashmerian
stove, which ought to make fire insur-
ance premiums high, the appearance Of
a certain female lunatic and saint enti-
tied Lal-Ded, etc. But the proverbs
are, as rule, far too racy to have
much common form. Here is a de-
lightful variant on adding insult to in
jury: 81 am not so angry at the cat
eating the ghee as am at her shaking
her tall ''May roses be to your
mouth" is surely a most elegant fashion
of replying TO a pretty speech from
somebody else, whether there is or is
not an undercurrent or sarcasm in it.
''Ten wives, but eleven dispositions is
much better than "Many men, many
minds" though, perhaps, it has a
rather more limited intention. Satur.
