LADIES' RECEPTION AT THE PRESS CLUB.
Our artist gives you picture of the
scene in the Press club the night of the
reception, In drawing this picture the
waggish artist has attempted to play a
joke upon the writer, for in his fore
ground he has placed tolerably good
portrait of a journalist whose resem-
blance to myself has been remarked by
our mutual acquaintance. Many who
read this letter have doubtless read other
letters of mine from Washington. If
perchance they have thereby been led
to the indulgence of curiosity concerning
the undersigned they may thank the
picture maker for his endeavor, by means
of my double, to ruin my own repre-
sentation for modesty.
In writing this letter about the news
paper club of Washington have as
sumed that you, dear reader, are pos
sessed of an active interest in the per-
sonality and society of the men whose
penwork you have seen so much of.
regret that | have not the space to tell
you something about the many interest
ing men we have here. In future let
ter may describe for you some Of the
newspaper men Of Washington, their
careers, vicissitudes and triumphs. You
will find their stories thrilling enough,
novel enough, human enough. In my
opinion it is high time some of the men
who have all their lives been engaged in
the making and unmaking of other men
in the creation Of regulations for those
perhaps less worthy than themselves
should themselves be known. There are
men in this club whose brains and pens
have for years been the windows through
which you have looked upon the national
capital and the government, its men,
women, affairs and politics, and you do
not even know their names. will in

particularly with married ladies, and
lace and net gowns are seen everywhere,
contrary to the predictions of the wise
ones, aud beaded trimming was never so
popular.
The parasols of this season merit more
than apassing glance, they are so pretty
and so very becoming. They are made
of crepe, Of chiffon, of black lace, net,
silk and flowers, and of real duchess lace,
and of changeable silk with medallions

dark blue sateen, with q ruffle around
the neck and down the front of turkey

and surah may be employed, in the same

The back can be laid in Vatican plat,

easier to make but more graceful.

the second illustration is to wear with

The handsome basque at the bottom is
quite nice enough to wear at ceremo

covered by real or imitation guipure lace
in cream color. The style is so simple
that any lady can reproduce it without
difficulty. Any other kind of lace Car

South Cardinals Trout Corner.
lErom the New York Sun.

From the New York Sum-
Right up in the western corner of
South Carolina is perhaps the best
trout fishing region within the same
distance from New York. How it
came to be so is most interesting.
There are the foothills and some of the
mountains Of the Blue Ridge, or, at
least, of a spur of that chain. The
streams never had any front or fish Of
any sort of them. Yet on the other
side of the mountains all the waters
were richly stocked. One year, not so
long ago, Gen. Wade Hampton, who
had summered there from boyhood,
took barrel in wagon and went over
the mountains to get as many trout as
he could. He came back with plenty,
and whenever he crossed a stream on
the east side of the range he threw a
handful of young rout in and passed
along. Like Bre'r Fox, he said moth
ing to nobody. In year Of two he
went again and fshed surreptitiously
in the waters that were supposed never
to have known a fish. He caught
plenty. The next year the sparse pop
ulation discovered their existence.
Now the streams abound with splendid
trout.

An Indian Goldfish Pond.
T From the Port Townsend Cal

From the Port Townsend Call.
Several Indians have been observed
around town for the past day or two
peddling goldfish, which they sold at
25 cents each. The Indians are reaping
q harvest at the business, and strangers
remark that this is a mighty prosper
Gus town where the Indians go around
selling goldfish. It has been something
of a mystery to most people as to where
the source of supply existed that has
proved such veritable bonanza to the
meek and lowly siwash. Judge James
G. Swan yesterday discovered the
secret. He says that several years ago
a vessel from Honolulu brought to Port
Gamble small lot of these beautiful
fish, and not being able to dispose of
them all dumped them into a pond
near Port Gamble. The fish continued
to thrive and multiply, and now the
Indians there havea monopoly of the
goldfish trade and. no doubt will be able
to supply the whole State with those
a:istocratic fish.

Not the Widow She Thought-She Was.

From the Pittsburg Dispatch.]
NEWTON FALLS, Ohio, May g.
Some twenty-five years ago an insur-
ance agent named Green was living in
Indiana with his wife and three chill
dren. His business took him from
home great deal Of the time, and it
was intimated that their domestic re-
lations were not of the most pleasant.
Finally the wife took her children and
came back to her Ohio home, while
nothing was heard of Green for years.
After some years Mrs. Green, believ-
ing her husband dead, married man
named Lowhead, VINO died several
years ago. This week sou named
Will went over to Youngstown, and at
the residence of his aunt found his
father, who had feft his home twenty
five years ago. The father accompa-
MED the son home, and there was quite
q scene at the house of the supposed
widow Lowhead. This week the re-
united couple are visiting their friends
in Warren and other points.

TIE NEW ORLEANS INCIDENT.
Rudini Says 1t Is Simply a Question Of
International Law.

ROME, May 14.-In the chamber Of
deputies to-day, Premier oRudinl said
that the New Orleans issue was simply
question Of international law. The
departure of Baron Fava had been
ordered as protest against the course
of the United States in rejecting the
responsibility for the outrage. The
sympathy of Europe was with Italy,
and Italy still hoped for friendly So
luton of tif difficulty. Italy would
maintain thgriple alliance as guar
antee of the ce of Europe.
WAsHINGTN N. May 14.-An official
of the State B8rtment, when asked
to-day if ItaN>had, as stated by a
cablegram frons Rome, made a PROPOSE
ton to submit She dispute with the
United States in the New Orleans
affair to arbitration, said arbitration
was only cesorted to when diplomatic
negotiations had completely failed.
Diplomatic negotiations with Italy
have not yet ceased, and Secretary
Blaine has publicly asserted his will
lingness to consider any claim the
Italian government may make for in
demnity. So. the proposition, it is
thought, is somewhat premature. The
proposition has not been received at
the State Department.

"Then times were good,

Merchants cared not rush
For any other fare,
Than Johnny cake and mush."
But now times have changed, and
the plain and simple fare Of the fore

flour, and high seasoned food, and
strong drinks, have taken its place,
and, as a result, dyspepsia, impure
blood, and disease of the stomach, liver
and lungs are numerous. This great
change has led one of the most skillful
physicians of the age to study out
remedy for these modern diseases,
which he has named his "Golden Med
