LATE SOCIETY ITEMS.


Last evening was an exceptionally fine one
for the promenade concert at the White
House grounds, the first pleasant one of the
season. The Marine Rand appeared promptly
at 2. NJ. in white trousers and blue coats.
The crowd had preceded them, and, viewed
from the south portico of the mansion, the
scene was animated and charming. The
vivid green of the early summer foliage con-
trasted beautifully with the varied and light
costumes of the weil-dressed ladies and gen
tlemen who were gathered there, while the
many jets of the playing fountains and the
beds Of bright flowers, with the
white shaft of the Monument for a
background, made as charming a sight
as one need wish to see. Mrs. Harrison was
assisted in receiving the first of the invited
guests by Miss Warfeld, pretty young lady,
in a gown Of white silk, as the President
had not yet returned from his afternoon drive.
Shortly afterward he appeared, accompanied
by Mrs Harrison's nieces, Mrs. Dimmick and
Mrs. Parker Among those present on the
portico were the Misses Halstead, Mrs

Spofford, of Tennessee; Miss Richards and
Mrs. Annie Louise Powell, Mr.. and Mrs. f.
Osborn, Miss Marion Foster the artist; Mrs.
Hamilton Wallace, Miss Thomas, Miss Nc
Carthy, and others. The occasion was espe-
cially interesting, because of it being the last
informal reception of Mrs. Harrison before
leaving for Cape May. AS usual cake and
lemonade were served in the Red Parlor.

institution believe that amputation will be
necessary

finest private residence in Washington and

Homespun in Favor.

Homespuns and tweeds are the most fashion
able materials for present wear, for those who
prefer the real genuine article, which is we'll
nigh impossible to wear out in the ordinary
way. The Shetland homespun tweeds are
woven by the men on the old-fashioned hand

these varied by simple designs, such as stripes,
diagonals, checks, and the herring-bone pat
tern. Black homespun also looks we'll; and all

Points OH COosnyY.

We have not tried to understand the in
trio; cicS and legal points Of the injunction
against the Coosaw company in the matter
Of digging phosphate rock, but the fact that
the revenue Is stopped concerns every tax
payer, and It is easily understood that the
deficiency must be made good ia some
way.
Unless operations arc resumed one or
two things will be necessary, namely: The
assessment of property must be raised, or
else the tax levy must bc increased. "All
things which are lawful are cxpcdcnt "
Every man in the State will realize tie
force Of this remark, and it is quite likely
that some Of our citizens will be impressed
with the idsa that The government is com.
mitting error by arbitrary action against
the largest lax payer in the State.
The Press and Banner has no feeling
whatever for or against the roOsaw Com
Iany.
We arc in position to hope that the Courts
may chew to the line, let the chips tall
where they may
But we do no! want tbs revenue stopped
while the process of scoring and hcwing is
going on.
A strong sentiment will no doubt be de
vclopcd before the bignning of the next
campaign, and the people will probably de-
mnnd to know of candidates for political
prcfcrment whether they are for or against
this action of the Government which is
killing the goose that lays the golden egg.
While Governor Tilman will have the
support of a large following, no matter
what he docs and while it is equally true
that he will have pronounced aud aciiveop-
position, no matter how faithfully he may
discharge the pnblic trust, yet there is a
much larger cOnse rvativc element, who will
support the right as they see it, no matter
who is in Office.
1t is useless for Mr.. Tilman TO under
take to please or placatc that element which
| is unaltcrahly opposed to him.
| 1t is likewise unnecessary for him to do
anything merely for the purpose of strength
cning himself witl,.those who will endorse
| his course under any circumstances.
His friends and his opponents are fac.
| tiOns.
AS the Governor Of the State he should
seek to be the Governor Of the whole pco.
pie, and his course should be to serve the
best interests Of all.
| Inc State can have no spite against the
! Coosaw Company. 1t can only demand its
rights against the Company and in demand
ing those cnuitcs, the Government should
not punish tax payers by taking NnrcccS
sary action whereby the people will suffer
the loss of SIPS, 900 annually.
Another matter which concerns us in this

1t is not good to be a Spungcr, but spong-
ing is a natural law. It's results are good
and evil. This law Of nature pcrvadcs the
universe Of mind and matter and needs to
be carefully watched TO enjoy It's good and
and escape its evil.
sponge is always full-of wind, if
nothing clsc-but ii continues to absorb.
1t takes in pure water and slop with the
same alacrity.
What spongcs are children! IF they
hcar nothing but good grammar. they will
never kno* anything else. If they seq

panions, they will be courteous Some
men get their bad behavior from their din.
ming rooms, but children get theirs from,
sponging on bad company. Just last week
q venerable father came to the SENTINEL
and begged it, to say something against
children swearing and fighting. The best
and most direct medicine for this evil, is to
say something TO old people from whom
children absorb their goodness and mean,
ness. No one cHr> cscap, the effects Of this
law Of sponging. 1t is inevitable both in
its moral and physical results. If you go
with good company, you will feel good
and IF you so with bad company you will
feel bad, just like you will breathe good ~
bad air if either surrounds you, and enjoy
or regret the effects. But every man is
morally responsible for his surroundings.
The law of sponging does not interfere with
free agency. 1t cnlargcs freedom and in
crcases responsibility. Therefore be care
full Of the water and atmosphere, in which
you and the children swim and soar.
