News of n Social Nature.
Hawkins, the beautiful suburb on the Penn
sylysnia Railroad, nesting among its grand
old oaks and sycamores never looked more
beautiful than it did yesterday afternoon, when
the new G. A. r. Home was dedicated to Its
noble use Home it Is in the truest sense OF
the word. A fine oid-fashloned brick residence
with cool-looking porches all around 1t, stands
on lawn of two acres. A glimpse of the sill
yery Monongahela is obtained through the
trees and the haze of the city fades from the
view In the west. A beautiful, restful place,
indeed for the widows of the veterans who
fought for home and liberty quarter Of a
century ago.
The place presented busy although peace
full scene yesterday. The light summer dresses
of the LADIES and children, and the blue coats
and white vests of the g. A. r., showed
brayely against the foliage, while the voices OF
the singers in sacred music added to the
charm of the occasion. All the ceremonies OF
dedication took place on the lawn.
The proceedings in the afternoon opened
with the anthem. ~ Have Set My Watch EveI
Upon Thv WalIs,' by the quartette. ! rs; Min

ton. The address of welcome, a pleasant ana
able effort, was delivered by Mrs. c. Il. Gerlng.
The quartette rendered two other selections.
God of NY Salvation" and 20. me. Let US
Worship" The afternoon session was brought
to a close with the singing of the doxology by
all present, and sweetly sounded the grand OLD
melody among the trees from the lusty throats
of at least 500 people.
In the cool of the evening there was musical
entertainment on the lawn in the soft glow OF
locomotive headlights judciously disposed
about the green sward. The attendance was
estimated at 3,000 Solos were sung by Mrs.
Minnie Hunt and Miss Chester. The instru-
mental portion of the programme consisted OF
piano solo by Prof. List, two selections by the
ST. Thomas Band and one by the Grand Army
Band

A Corporation Candidate.
From the New York Times, Mug.l

NtW RsI
There is little occasion now for discussing the
meaning of the candidacy of Delamater. 1t is
thoroughly understood. He stands for the
Standard Oil Company and other great corpor-
ations and combinations in Pennsylvania poll
tics, and his nomination has been made by Sem
ator Quay through the exercise of his power
over the Republican organizations in order to
enlist those great moneyed interests in the sup
port OF the party and of his powers as its dicta-
tor. The issue is squarely made in a form
and the only question is whether the
people of the second greatest State in the
Union will submit to the kind of rule which is
sentiment among the Republicans of Pennsyl-
vania has not been and is not to the smallest
degree in favor of Delamater as a candidate for
Governor. He has not been nominated by the
Republicans of the State or by their represent
atives, but by Quay as the representative of the
power of money and of monopoly.

A Revolt Almost Certain.
From the Cleveland Plain Dealer, Dem.l

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer, Dem.1
In mentioning the preferences of delegates
we remarked that Quay knew where and how
to get the number of votes needed, in addition
to those pledged, to nominate Delamater. The
second ballot gave him the nomination and the
Pennsylvania Republicans have a Standard
oil representative as their candidate for Gov
ernOr by order OF Boss Quay. There Will be
revolt among respectable Republicans.
Whether that rebellion will be su fficienty
widespread to elect the Democratic candidate
remains to be seen. but there is such prospect
as furnishes ground for reasonable hope that it
will. The Democratic candidate is likely to be
Ex-Governor Pattison, who carried the State
to such degree that he is stronger with them
to-day than he was when he ran eight years
ago. 1t was a convention in the interest of
machine politics and spoils.

way into detective headquarters yesterday,
and going up to Inspector Swindells said,
with suspicion of sobs in his voice

the statement. for his face was drawn and
pinohed as though by pain. while his nose was
bleeding profusely, and he seemed so weak as
scarcely to be able to walk. He told Inspector
Swindels that his name was John Hines; that
he was II years of age; that his home was in
Pjkesvllle. Baltimore county, Md. and that he
had left his home to come to Washington and
join the navy.
He found upon making application, however.
that he could not be admitted, as he was under
age and did not have In writing the consent of
his father TO his enlistment. When he found
that he could not enter the navy he was heart
broken and wandered about the city all during

to Inspector Swindells yesterday he was almost
prOstrated. He was sent to Freedman's Hos
