SOCIETY AT sARATOGA.
A New Way OF Describing the Ccstum
of GentIemen mt that Resort.

A New Way OF Describing the Costumes
of Gentiemen at that Resori
letter from Saratoga TO the Balt-
moro Sun gives the following: The so
cicty chroniclcrs here have adopted the
novel feature of describing the costumes
OF gentlemen at the receptions and iballs,
ana 1t is said the ladies read these de-
scrptiOns with as much avidity as they
scan the details of their own dresses. /
cllt from the account of one of the so
cicty papers OF the ball at the Grand
Union, on Saturday last, the following
description OF the costumes of some we'll
known gentlemen.
Colonel Thomas Ochlltrcc, who won
ms tltle Tor gallant fighting in tic revOlu-
tlon, but who looks to be on the sunny
SIDE of forty, never looked handsomer,
lie was robcd in an artistic costume of
black broadcloth with trousers of doe
skin, cut extremely wide; his jewels
were first water diamonds.
John f. Cbambcrlin, always eX-
quiSite, was the perfection of manly
grace as he sauntcrcd and glidcd through
the throng bccomingly dcckcd with
handsome broadcloth, relieved by spot
less linen consisting of Shirt collar and
cuffs; diamonds and patent leather
shoes.
State Comptroller Baughman. of
Maryland, swell brunette. was very
attractive as he gracefully tripped the
light fantastic toe. his handsome figure
encased in u costly coat OF rich dark
broadcloth, with dainty patent feathers
pecping. from beneath his doeslSin trou-
SCrs: diamonds.
Mr.. William G. Mcbride, of Washing
ton, looked his lCvcliest in docsliin, with
trousers of exquisite broadclOth cut bias.
Mr.. Leopold Morse appeared i'm white
linen, over which fell an Jveidress of
blacl! broqdcloth stonine ornaments
Marshal A. A Wilson. of Washing
ton, was the picture of elegance in plain
black broadcloth. relieved at the neck
and wrists by drapings of snowy linen
superb diamonds glittcred upon his
breast
George Alfred Townsend, one of the
most gallant and gentlcmanly of Sara
toga's dashing cavaliers, was the admired
of all bcholderS as he circlcd round the
room attircd in rich raimcnt of black
brOadcloth, decolctto vest, with glitter
ing shirt bosom, upon which sparllled an
immense diamond.
Four children of family from
Chicago, at one Of the principal hotels,
are known only by the names of One"
Two" Three" and Four" The
eldest is ten years of age, and they are
all fine, handsome children who would
commend themselves to notice even if il
was not for their names. Tho cause is
n freak of the father. lie explains that
having frequently noticed the intense
dissatisfaction with children with the
names bestowed upon them, he resolved
to give his children the opportunity of
selecting their own names: so he calls
them One" Two" &c until they
reach twelve years. when they are given
the privilege of selecting their own
names. The plan, he says las given
much satisfaction in his family.

Enir Play or Retaliation.

The President has at last determined that
the Canadian authorities shall treat American
fishermen with just discrimination or take
the consequences
This fishery trouble between Canada and the
United States is veXed international ques-
ton Of long duration, and may possibly yet
involve the two countries in some trouble be-
fore it is finally settled. The United States
Senate in executive session considered the
treaty in all its bearings and concluded that it
was surrender to Canada, and they re-
jected it,
Congress conferred the power in the Presi-
dent some time ago to use retaliatory measures
If, in his judgment, the Canadian troubles JUS
titled it, but 1t seems until very lately he did
not think such heroic treatment of the case
required it,
James Tharp, at S1S + street northwest, is
good authority on all international questions,
and when asked what he thought Of the stua-
tion in reference to the fishery question, he
said he had lost all interest in both the tariff
and fish questions and had centred al his inter
ests in his pure Old Rye Berkeley Whisky,
which is the finest tonic for malaria and other
kindred diseases eXtant.

MIKE KELLY'S EARLY LIFE.
The Handsome Boston Player Chats About
His Boyhood


To look at the genial Kelly, the truly
famous $4,000 catcher of the Bostons
one would not suspect that he ever
thought of or 1tcmplated being %
priest. But such is the fact, however,
and it was owing to his rowing spirit
that he now occupies the high niche in
baseballdom instead of gracefully wear
ing the frocll of priesthood. Mr. Kelly
