SOCIETY RAYrI


Some Of the Pecuuar Tbings Done at
Dancing Parties.
The average BAH in Portau Prince,
q genuine society affair, has some in
teresting characteristics. You are ex-
pected to arrive about 6 O'Clock in the
evening, and to stay until daybreak
Your host, not your hostess, Is the con
spicuOus parsonage She is nobody
and nowhere in partioular-that is, ac.
cording 10 Hayds code, says a CORE
spondCnt of the Philadelphia american.
Your host has selected a few Of his
gentlemen friends to assist him In re
ceiving. They meet the guests upon
their arrival, and escort the ladies to
the dressing room, and, waiting for
them, take them down to the grand
salon, where the women, young and
old, are seated around the room and left
TO themselves, the gentlemen congre-
eating out on the galleries until q dance
is called when partners are chosen and
the wallfowers are brought forward
But the dance over, there Is no pleasant
gossiping between the sexes-no sitting
on the stairs and all that, but the ladies
are straightway led back to their seats
among themselves.
Two Bullets have been set up for the
occasion, one for the gentlemen-out on
the gallery, as a rule-where drinks
and cigars are served, the other near
the salon, for the ladies, supplied with
light sweet wines and confeCtions. A
ball Is rather stupid for a woman, un-
less she has plenty Of partners. Even
the display Of fancy hosiery that Hay
market bellies delight in pals upon the
yawning wearers after a time. Sitting
there, between the dances, they stretch
out their slippered feet, and the effect
Of these bright stockings Is some com
pensation for the eHRi8 they must en-
dure that the men, so merry outside,
may enjoy their bali.
The horseback parties up in the
mountains are marked feature Of
Hayti's better social life. The caval-
cade starts of at dayhreak, or perhaps
even earlier, the objective point some
mountain cabin. where the contents Of
the hampers will be spread. and posi-
bly, beds provided for a night or two.
Through the heat Of the day, from 0
until 4, the party will loll about in the
dense shade, eating fruit, singing and
playing cards, the delicious mountain
air making il hard for a stranger to be-
lieve that he is In the tropics, and to
wonder why a sanitarium Is not built
upon these invigorating heights.
The IIaytien gentleman who would
express the utmost courtesy to a stranger
in Port.au. Prince invites him to use his
bath, the highest distinction he can
offer, and one most gratefully appreCi-
ated If the stranger Is staying at the
one hotel Of the capital. Every Hay
tien, with any claims whatever TO re-
spectability even, has a bath, a large
swimming bath, as a rule, through
which the clear, cold mountain stream
Is running, and in which he dives many
times a day. These swimming baths
are lattiCed payllions, standing near the
villas, their basins some ten or more
feet square or circular, with broad steps
leading down TO them. They are usually
about three feet deep, but sometimes
deeper, and are furnished with every
convenience for bathing.

GOT OFF THIS TIME.

a Confidence Man who OBTAINED
Money from Medical Men.
John r. Downey, who has been rep
resenting himself as the agent Of the
New England Mutual Accident Asso-
citation, has got himself in trouble Ills
practice has been to go around to ply
sicians and tell them that he was au-
thOrized to appoint an examiner for the
company and upon the payment Of $40
such appointment would be made. He
figured that the doctor who undertook
this work would get at least $500 an
nually for his services without interfer.
ing with his other practice. These
representations were made to Drs.
Carraher, Munson, Adams, Johnson,
Rauterburg, Chamberlain and others.
Downey came from Indiana and claims
to be acquainted with Secretary Hal
ford.
In the Police Court this morning
several of the doctors who had been ap.
preached by Downey gave their tesd-
monv, which tended to show that GER
tain representations made by him were
with view to obtaining money without
giving any value In return.
Deputy United States Marshal Nc
Caffrey and G. A. johnson of the Sixth

to have been reputable Insurance

GOLD BLO0DED ASSASSINATION
OF THE SILVER DOLLAR
VES THE HC1OF Is. SAYS Mr. MORGAN
Continuation Of the Debate on the Silver
Conference Report
ROGERS GIVES SPEAKER REED ROASTING
sesthing Denuncistion Of the Patent
Code Of Rules-To Caucus on
the Lodge Bill.

The Senate o-day agreed to resolu-
ton offered by Mr. Stewart. calling on
the Secretary of the Interior for infor-
nation az to the selection Of sites for
reservoirs by the Director Of the Geolog
ieal Survey.
Consideration Of the conference re.
port on the Silver bill was then re.
sumed.
Mr.. Morgan opposed the report He
said he expected that the day was to be
crisis In the question Of the currency
Of the people Of the United States, as
much 30 In regard to the demonetiza-
ton of silver and the confining Of coin
to the single gold standard, as was the
act Of 1878. He did not know but that
the effect Of the vote to be taken to-day
0f Il should result in the adoption of
the conference bilD would not be really
more
FATAL TO THE PROSPECT OF SILVER
COINAGE
In the future than the act Of 1873. The
legislation of 1878 had been an act of
cold blooded assassination of the silver
dollar It had been presided over by
the same Senator whose fine Italian
hand" was to be seen In the conference
bill, bill which was a total departure
from the action Of both the House and
the Senate, and was as essentially new
ss if 1t had been a novel written by the
Senator from Ohio within the last Eve
days.
Mr. Morgan went on to speak Of legis
lation on all important matters being
now entirely controlled by conference
committees ofarbitration-
whose proceedings we're secret; so that,
II such a committee were bribed TO the
extent Of a hundred million dollars, no
Senator would be permitted to find It
out.
Mr.. Allison remarked that there was
no necessary secrecy about conference
committees. They were public com.
mittces.
Mr.. Morgan replied to that remark
by saying that In this very discussion,
Mr.. Sherman had declined to answer a
question as 10 proceedings In the con.
ference committee, on the ground that
such proceedings were secret.
Mr.. Sherman said he had never de
MED TO the Senate any information as to
what took place In conference
He had been asked what
particular conferrees had offered
a particular proposition. and he had
felt that he was not az liberty 20 answer
such question. IL he had been asked
who voted for II he should have stated
the exact facts, but as to disclosing cou-
Versation In committee that would be
departure not only from parliamen-
taTy propriety but from gentlemanly
propriety.
DIR. Morgan resumed his argument
against the conference bill. and called
the attention of the friends OF free
coinage particularly of the Senator
nom Colorado (Mr. Teller)-to the
fact that the same fine Italian
hand" which had framed the act Of
1879, had operated in the conference
