THE PULPIT AGAINST M'DOW.
Some of the White Jurors Threaten to
Go Cunning for the Ministers.

From the New York Sun, July 15.
The publication Ut the sermons on MUIR
der and adultery in Charleston, S. c., to-day,
apropos Of the Mellow verdict, caused quite a
sensation in the city. The McDowites and the
jurymen are incensed, and it is stated that sew
eral Of the white jurors have announced their
intention to go cunning for the ministers and
press correspondents. The Charleston Sun
this afternoon says:
1T is time for the ministers Of God to speak
out, when the waves of immortality, sin corrup-
ton and madness are threatening to submerge
US, and all the old landmarks and criterlons of
right aud wrong are becoming confused and
swept away. None too soon. we say, have
these men OF God elected to call halt in the
name OF their Sovereign Master for do not the
signs OF the times seem to show that vigorous
and authoritative speech ON the subject has
been too long delayed?''
The medical society had meeting to-day, at
which Mellow was deliberately discussed, He
had applied for membership to the society
years ago, butwas blackballed, it is said. on ac-
count of his reputation as 'smasher" He
was elected about a month before he murdered
Dawson. After his acquittal he sent in his let
ter OF resignation, which, however, was not
accepted. At the meeting of the society to-
day the point was raised that he was not
member, not having signed the constitution,
and the matter was postponed. An officer of
the society is reported saying that McDow's
letter would not be received. II he was a mem
Der he would be expelled, but to expel him
will involve a trial 1t is known that at least
one druggist has given orders that his clerks
shall not I'LL an prescription by Mellow.

ception-Americans Who Were There.

Correspondence OF TEE EVENING STAR
LONDON, July &
The Fourth Of July was well observed by the
Americans in London, and their name is legion
this season. The American minister and Mrs.
Lincoln gave large card reception in the
afternoon from 8 to 4, and fully two-thirds of
the guests were Americans. The minister was
looking his best and Mrs. Lincoln, who has
grown somewhat stouter than when we knew
her in Washington, looked very bright and
handsome in a ruby colored silk with diamond
ornaments. Little Mss Lincoln, who shared
the honors, proved great favorite with the
English visitors. She has very sweet face
and pretty manners. Mrs. Frank Leslie. who
was present during the early part of the after
noon, wore an elegant French costume OF white
draped with black lace and superb diamonds.
Mrs. Leslie has been for several weeks the
guest of DIR. and Mrs. Campbell Of Cavendish
square. Among other Americans familiar 10
Washington circles were Mrs. General Logan
Miss Pullman and Representative Mason OF
Chicago, Mr.. and Mrs. Joseph Medill, Marshal
L. Wilder, Mrs Mott Smith and the Misses
Smith, Miss Robena Taylor, Pay Director Cum
bingham of the navy, Mr.. and Mrs. Endicott,
Mr.. and Mrs. Chamberlain, Mrs. John L. Big
Glow Of New York and DIR. Chas Black Of the
army.
Mrs. Logan is looking unusually well, her
European trip having greatly improved her
health. Mrs. Senator Hearst has Just arrived
Mrs. Mott Smith, with her daughters, leave for
Paris on the 18th. r

IRRIGATION OF ARID LANDS.
Major Powell's Report Of the Progress
of His Surveys in the West.

Major Powell, the chief of the geological
survey, reports to the Secretary Of the Interior
the progress that has been made in the survey
for the irrigation and reclamation OF the arid
lands Of the west The data given is drawn
from the statements OF what was done during
the month Of May. In Colorado the report
states that an approximate area of 1850 square
miles was surveyed In California 500 square
miles. The work Of scheduling the lakes of the
west preparatory to the selection and with
drawal for use as reservoir sites was materially
advanced.
One of the problems to be solved in Mon
tana, the report states. is the general character
Of the work which will be required to bring
the water upon the higher mesa lands. which
latter are vast in extent and generally deficient
In water supply.
In Colorado it is proposed to take up in de-
tail combined project Of canals and reservoirs
for the irrigation of the Arkansas valley.
Major Powell says that an undertaking Of
some magnitude is the gathering of statistics
in the various states and territories of the west
relative to the amount of land now under irri-
cation. The data is being secured mainly
through the agency Of the employees Of the
survey.

The Tantalizing Bathing Mask.

From the San Francisco Post.
new wrinkle that broke out this week il
for ladies to wear masks in the water. The
masks are either black or white, and made of
chamois skin. 1t is ezasperating to the spec
tators to see fair bather, with figure like
Venus, trip along the sand with mask on and
no way of seeing who she is. 1t is currently
remarked that the masks are worn az a pro-
lection to the complexion and not from a sense
Of prudish modesty. Some of the wicked, SO It
is said, have started pools on the esplanade
the bets being as to the identity of the rs;
but this is becoming unsafe, as it is hard to
unravel the secret OF who is below the masks
The wagers are chewing gum and bathing
tickets. A bather with handsome figure Ia
90 closely masked that her identity has not
yet been revealed and the curious are on the
ragged edge Of anxiety to know who she is, but
they can't find out.

CLEAR SKIES ALL AROUND.
The Mercury VIII Begin to Mount the
Tube Again To-Morrow.

The storms have all been cleared from the
weather map, the flyer that traversed 1000
miles on Sunday having disappeared in the
ocean, and the entire country is once more
smiling under the influence of high barometers
and endurable temperatures. All west Of the
Alleghanies the thermometers are rising, and
it is most probable that there will be more
HOT WEATHER BEFORE MANY DAYS.
This mornings forecast by Lieut.. Thompson
for the District of Columbia and all that part
of the world immediately adjacent was for q
fair Tuesday and Wednesday with continued
low temperatures, followed by warmer weather
tomorrow, accompanied by westerly winds.
This is undoubtedly but warning Of . hot
spell later in the week.
THE STORM
OF Sunday and Monday produced some disas-
trous results, and at certain points in its path
wrought itself up to fine fury. At Block
Island the wind flew 81 miles an hour, and at
Nantucket and Cape May it played with the pill
grimS at the rate Of 80 miles in sixty minutes.
