one of the most complete surprises of the
season was that given Mrs. j. f. Kelly at
her pleasant home on M street last evening
managed by Miss Adde Fuller, which was
sufficient to insure its success. The pres.
ents were very elegant, but the one most
highly priced by Mrs. Kelly was the easy
chair from the Progressive Euchre Club, Of
which she is a member Refreshments were
served at 10 o'clock. Among those present
were Hon. T. j. Henderson and wife, Mr..

seen, II left no doubt that she Is, beyond
question, the greatest exponent of opera

and that all that has been said and written
OF her, both in Europe aud in this country,

Shifting washington society.

A Washington letter in the st. Louis
GloJe-Democrdt says that 1t Is plain
enough what the Democrats mean to
do, and the leaders of their social
campaign are there and acknowledged
1t is Republican society that is real ly
the riddle, for no one knows who will
lead in 1t, nor what will be done With
out the Blaines the social atmosphere
will be dull, and there is no one yet
thought of who will furnish diversion
at dinners and balls by fighting poll
their private feuds. For some mys-
terious reason the Blaines have chosen
to spend the first winter in twenty years
at their home in Maine. They were a
thorn in the side of President Arthur
and all his friends last winter They
came down here avowedly for the pur-
pose Of making life miserable for him
and the ante-Blaine Republicans, and
they did it. This year those who led
the Arthur court are dead and dumb.
Some have gone, some have died, others
are in mourning and retreat, and state
pageants 60 on without them. Other
names ring increasingly in the fashion
able chatter, and other faces are pointed
out to the strangers. The carriages
drive about town during calling hours
as madly as ever, and cards are scat.
tered by the thousands, but the car.
riages stand in line before different
doors, and the elusive greetings are
given to different hostesses. Poor Mrs
Hendricks, who had expected to reign
as first lady of the land, and to whom
every one looked as the ablest social
leader and one bound to carry through
a strong policy, sits In her widow S
weeds in her Western home. The
cards, the calls, the smiles intended for
her are bestowed on Mrs. Sherman,
and few pause to look back or think of
the kecn.wltted, shrewd, unyielding,
ambitious woman who would have
made such an impress on her surround.

New York Board of Trade Favors tho
Arthur XIII Hr;dcp.


There was alarge attendance at yes.
terday's meeting of the New Yo.';
Board of Trade and Transportation to
hear debate about the proposed bridge
across the Arthur Kill, between Erastus
Wiman, the father Of the scheme, and
Isaac l.. Fisher. president of the Steam
ard Sailing Vessel Owners Association
and Of the National Board Of Steam
Navigation. Simon Stcrne, chairman
or The Committees on Legislation and
on Terminal Facilities, reported reso.
luton In favor of the bridge, under
certain restrictions as to height, draws
and public use Of the bridge. Mr..
Fisher asked that the proposed bridge
be erected 1900 feet south of the con.
templatod location, at point where the
stream Is only 500 feet wide, but the
current keeps straight course.
Mr. Wiman denied that the company
had decided upon any special point for
crossing the stream. They were per.
fcctly willing to leave the matter to the
War Department engineers. They had
no desire TO injure commerce. All the
bill in Congress proposed was to grant
permission for the bridge. The reso-
luton of the committee was finally
adopted by nearly unanimous vote.
After the meeting Mr. Wiman spoke
of the action Of the New Jersey Assem-
bly, on Tuesday morning in passing
the bill hostile TO the bridge. 1T need
not interfere with us at all, said Mr..
Wiman. "ln the frs, place, the sub
stituto for the Chase BILL passed by the
New Jersey Assembly, is not an amend
ment to the general railroad law, but
an amendment to what Is known rs the
Bridge bill Of 1878. The New Jersey
line of the Baltimore & Ohio Is incor-
porated under this law, and under its
provisions bought property and &C.
quirod riparian rights and the right to
build yiaducts over navigable streams.
An amendment to a bridge law cannot
upset all this. But even supposing that
it did, the power of Congress to author
ize the construction of a bridge across
navigabc streams, between two States,
is unquestioned. and that this power
can be secured by the passage of the
act authorizing the construction of the
Staten Island Bridge there Is no doubt
whatever.
The House substitute for the Chase
bill came up in the New Jersey Senate
yesterday afternoon, and there was II
| pretty squabblc over 1t. The bill was
finally laid over until today. 1t is
generally thought that the Governor
will veto the bill when it reaches him.

SILK Industry in pcnnsyIvania.

The manufacture of silk In Pennsyl-
vania is growing to be very important
branch Of industrial pursuit. Phila.
dclphia and vicinity particularly are
getting firm hold upon this form of
textile industry, that for years was as.
sociated in the common mind with
Milan and Lyons. There are four
mills at Darby making spun silk, and
within the limits of this city nearly a
hundred mills arc spinning and weav.
ing silk and silk.miyed goods. Pushes
and velvets have recently been added,
and there are two mills on dress goods,
the most of the establishments making
upholstery fabrics, curtains, turco-
mans, ribbons, fringes, braids aud
trimmings. About 5000 persons are
employed in the work in Philadelphia.
The recent advance in the price of
raw silk has not checked, but has
rather stimulated the industry, and the
outlook for the current year is better
than ever before. 1t is thought that
the next step will be the extensive cul-
tivation of raw silk here. The mate.
rial Is growing scarcer yearly in Eu-
rope, and Japan must some time, II it
continue TO be SO extensively drawn
upon as now, fail as n source OF supply.
Raw silk has advanced 80 per cent. In
value within three months, and the
question of raising it here is naturally
very earnestly considered now. 1t Is
thought by those convcrsant with the
matter that the raw material can be
raised here with profit. A new silk
factory, BY the way, is being erected at
Bethlehem. II will have 5000 spin
dies, and will, II is thought, be ready
for the machinery by MAY /.
