Yet he was really Edward Pendleton, a
scion of the stately Virginia family and u

its elegant mahogany Of antique pattern
and solid silver service, this courtly glnl-
bier was wont to spread a dinner at which
the wines were of the rarest and wool

AT prompt 6 o'clock every day the grand
Segnor Pendleton sat down in full dress

around his festive board at this compli-
mentary daily gastronomic joy sat the
most distinguished men in Washington or
in the nation. Commodores, ambassadors,
Senators and Congressman and men Of
elegant leisure regarded ii rs quite on Ipgie
to taste the rare yiands and the priceless
wines.

ASHORE ON DEAL BEACH.


AsBuPY PARK, Dec. 27.--rhc large three
mastcd schooner, Yale of New Haven,
Captain II. Alexander simpson, came
ashore about 7-o'clocl yesterday morning,
about two hundred yards north of Life
Saving Station No. @, at Deal Beach.
The schooner lay with her stern toward
the beach and had both anchors out.
About o'clock in the afternoon Captain
Alexander hoistcd the sails and tried to
get off to sea, but the strong gale which
was blowing at the time mshipped the
rlddcr and the boat drifted helplessly on
the beach about fifty yards from shore.
The crew of Life Saving-station, No. .,
at Long Branch, came to Deal Beach early
tu offer what assistance they could. When
II was found that the boat was in danger
of going to pieces, the captain huistca u
signal Of distress, and the two life-saving
crews promptly responded. A line was
fired over the vessels deck and the
breeches buoy bauled out The first one
To come ashore in the buoy was John
Hughes, who ran the donkey engine on
beard the schooner. When taken out OF
the buoy he was almost exhausted. The
crew, Captain Alexander Simpson and
Mate Erickson, were all landed in safety,
and taken to the lifc-saving station.
The schooner sailed from Boston nine
days ago, bound for Baltimore for Il cargo
of coal. She was owned by Armstrong
e Hcdgson Of New Haven, and was built
ut Belfast, Me, in 1891. The vessel is
liable TO go TO pieces ut any time.

4 sNp DISAGREEMENT has arisen between
two of the industrious Jcnkinses who re-
tail to an anxious world the small beer OF
the White House. The jenkins of the
Philadelphia Press in describing the do
nestle happenings of the HARRIsoN family
on Christmas, said:
At o'clock this evening the family sat
down to dinner, there being present, be
sides the President and Mrs, HARRISON,
Mrs. MCKEE, Mrs, pIMMIcK. and DR., ScorT.
The meu consisted Of beautifully
Drowned turkey of immense proportions
and plum pudding surrounded with
Jelly. The burning of brandy on the pud-
ding was dispensed with in Difference to
Mrs. HARRIsoN's temperance principles, as
she looks with disfavor ON the practice Of
serving anything Intoxicating at private
dinners.
Whereas the Jenkins of the New York
U,rotd declares with equal confidence;
"Up to luncheon time the children had
IL all their own way The family luncheI
together at 1890. The dinner table set in
the family dining-room was decked with
Chrstmasgreens and roses. Mr.. HALFoRp
joined the family party. The central
point of attraction was u huge turkey, and
plum pudding with burning brandy
around il was a leading item in the des-
seIts.h
Here then, is most distressing doubt
presented in connection with matter of
surprising importance. Did Baby MCKEE
have burnt brandy on his plum pudding
or did he not? The Herald says he did,
ard the P,ss says he didn /, and thus Il

BEAVER FALLS, Dee. 27.-The town is

Kearcher. The outrage was reported to
the authorities before 1t became generally
circulated through the borough, and
Madden was arrested aud placed in the
lookup.
When the facts became known the most
intense indignation prevailed, and crowds
quickly gathered and discussed the affair
in bitter language. Finally u score of de-
termined men went to the prison and took
Madden out. a rope was procured and
timely arrival and interference of officers
prevented them from melting out to him
what, if the current report of the affair be
true, would have simply been justice.

Travelled ways,
Meath the night that ever hurrics TO the dawn

There she clutches nj Illusions, and she socks

With tile unettoining passion that consumes

And calamity enfolds her, like the shadow OF

And In vain the hand IL stretched 10 lift her,

1t appears that Ialcctt and Abbott oper-

facilitated by the fact that the firm trusted
