capital She lives in an elegant man
sion on Massachusetts avenue, at the
corner of Fourteenth street, the avenue

just at the back of Mrs. Dahlgren's
handsome residence.
The receptions and dinners of Mrs.
Dahlgren are among the most delight
full of the many charming society func-

can life and Thirty years
ago Mrs. Dahlgren, then Miss Madeline
vinton, the daughter Of Samuel F. Vim
ton, of Ohio, was married at an early
age to Daniel Convers Goddard, of
GAINESVILLE. Mr.. Goddard died in about
three years after their marriage, leaving
his youthful widow the mother of two
children. In 1865 Mrs. Goddard became
the wife of Admiral Dahlgren. She is
still a rarely attractive m Her
blue eyes are as bright as ever, but her
brown tresses are now silvered. She
spends the greater part Of her time in
her house in Massachusetts avenue, but
her country home is at South Mountain.
Md.
1t was at South Mountain that her
daughter, Miss Ulrica Dahlgren, was
married to Mr.. Pierce, of Boston. An
older daughter, it will be remembered
by society people, was married some
years ago to a German baron. Mr.. Ul-
ric Dahlgren, the twin brother of Miss
Ulrica, was the happy man who led to
the altar Miss Lucy Drexel, of Philadel-
phia; his half brother, John Vinton God
dard, marrying Miss Bessie Drexel. the
sister of Miss Lucy.
Mrs. Dahlgren adds to her accom-
plishments as a society leader a taste for
the best literature. She is a well read
woman of remarkable Judgment and a
linguist of rare attainments. She has
translated from the French Montalem-
bert's "Pius TX" and De Chambrun's
Executive Power" and from the Span

An A.eodot. of washington.

1t was while plunging through the
''leaden rain and iron hail" at the battle
of Monmouth that Washington's horse
was shot under him. The chief coolly
stepped from the PROSTATE charger, and
having received from the hands Of an
attendant orderly fresh horse, ready
caparisoned, he turned to the sable body
servant who followed him close through
all dangers, and without the presence of
whose ebon visage a picture of Wash
ington and his family would not be
complete, and quietly said.
Here, Billy, take the saddle from
that dead horse and look out for it"
And then he dashed away to direct the
planting of Oswald's battery.
"Gollyr exclaimed old Billy, as he
related the incident to one of the family
on his return home, ''who ebber did see
such a man as Mas'r Washington? Who'd
ebber "a thought OBJ dat saddle but him?
l tell ye, mas'r remembers ~eberyt'ing-
eb'ryting down to de berry littlest."-

George Fairfax was the companion Of
Washington on his surveying tour for
Lord Fairfax. Washington first met
Mrs. Fairfax at Belvoir, near Mount
Vernon, when she was brought home as
the bride of George William Fairfax.
Miss Mary Cary accompanied her sister
Sarah to Belvoir, and there me George
Washington. She was then but four
teen years of age. Washington was
only sixteen. He had never visited the
low country neal Williamsburg prior to
this, and therefore could not have met
Sarah Cary until her marriage. 1t is
said that he fell in love at sight with
Mary Cary, and went 30 far on his first
visit to Williamsburg as to ask Colonel
Cary for the hand of his daughter.

of silver and copper, or gold and copper,
or gold and silver. Two or at most
three loops of this are enough.
The plateau and capote shapes are the
prettiest, but there is a wide choice, for
some hats are very large brimmed, faced
with smoothly drawn surah, and some
times velvet, and covered on the crown
with feathers or flowers. There was one
beautiful creation of black lace straw,
plateau shape, covered with blue violets
and a very few leaves, laid on as if grow
ing there. Black lace with white ane-
mones and white chrysanthemums make
elegant bonnets, and others again are
made of simple meshes of iridescent beads
with perhaps one large chrysanthemum
or solitary rose. Capotes are perhaps
the favorite small bonnet. Jet and lace
for matrons will prevail.

silk and trimmed with a rich passemen-
terie and velvet applique pattern. The

tened. The form is graceful and ele-

There's danger
in a cough-more than ever when
your blood is "bad." 1t makes
things easy for Consumption. But
there's a cure for it in Dr.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery. A posi-
tive cure-not only for Weak
Lungs, Splitting of Blood, Bron-
chitis, Asthma and all lingering
Coughs, but for Consumption itself
in all its earlier stages. It's rea-
sonable. All these diseases depend
on tainted blood. Consumption is
simply Lung scrofula. And for
every form Of ~scrofula and blood
faint, the Discovery" is a certain
remedy. It's SO certain, that its
makers guarantee it to benefit or
cure, in every case, or the money is
refunded. With q medicine that Is
certain, this can be done.
There's a cure for Catarrh, too,
no matter what you've been led to
believe. If there isn't, in your case,
you'll get $500 cash. It's a bona
fde offer that's made by the pro-
p%rietors of DR.. Sage's Catarrh
Remedy. There's risk in it, to be
sure, but they are willing to take
the risk-you ought to be glad
to take the medicine.

have just como ACROSS slip contain
lag some admonltions that Sunday
readers of THE TINES would do well to
heed. They are from the pen of an old
author who himself cared for none Of
these things until tho Spirit of God
revealed to him his sinfulness and his
danger. If can get tho reader to con-
sent to read these admonitions and look
up the Scripture references and read
them also, shall consider it as the
next best thing to going to church.
Will you give thought to these things
to-day? Here they are:
II Remember that God sees thee and
has His eyes upon thee, even when sin
and tempta tion is lying at thee to give
it some entertainment.
80. Remember that Gods wrath burns
against sin, and that He surely will be
revenged on it and all that give it en-
tertainment. This made Job afraid to
countenance it. Job xxi, %.
SO. Remember the misohiefs that sin
has done to those that have embraced
1t, and what distress it has brought
upon others. This made the whole con-
gregation of Israel tremble, to think
that any Of their brethren should give
countenance TO it. Joshua xxi, 1918.
~ Remember what Christ hath suf
tered by it, that He might deliver us
so heartily to depart from it, and wish
all Christians to do so, as we'll as he.
Cor. v, 14-15.
''5 Remember that those that are
now in hell-fire, went hither because
they loved iniquity, and would not de-
part from. Ps. tx, II: 81, t.; Mark TX,
43-48.
''6. Remember that profession is
not worth pin. if they tha6 make it do
not depart from iniquity. Jam. ii, 16 II;
Q Tim. ii. 10.
t'7. Remember that thy death-bed
will be very uneasy to thee, if thy
conscience at that day shall be clogged
with the guilt of thy iniquity. Hosea
vii, 10 IA.
''S. Remember that at the Judgment
day, Christ will say to those, depart
from me-" that have not here departed
from their sin and iniquity. Luke xiii,
81; Mat. XIV, al.
SO. Remember we'll, and think much
upon what blessed reward the Son of
God will give unto them at that day,
that have joined to their profession Of
faith in Him holy and blessed CONVEX
sation. Matt. XIV, 81"
There are some aged sinners in Roam
oke who do not attend chuch, and
though they are knocking at the door
of eternity they are making no prepara-
ton for the dying hour. want to say
something to these aged sinners next
Sunday. The hoary head is crown
OF glory if it be found in the way of
righteousness" but how melancholy
when it is found in the way of sin and
death. Dear old sinners, shall
have message and warning for you
next Sunday morning. pray that the
gates of death may not be open to you
this week. MARK,
