ENTERTAINMENT OF THE JUNIOR OFFICERS.
While Admiral Gherardi wined and
dined the senior officers the junior officers
looked after the pleasure OF the junior Of
tcers Of the other foreign ships. Each ship
WAS designated TO entertain officers Of some
other vessel and thus every officer on board
the foreign ships in the roads, except the
Germans, who arrived too late to be invited
were the guests of the American navy this
evening at what was perhaps the most
noticeable gathering of naval officers that
have ever before In the history of the coun-
try sat down TO so many hoepitable tables
as the nations guests.
The dining by the feet had its effect upon
the customary gayety OF the hotel. There
were few officers ashore this evening and
for once the army men and civilians were
forced to dance with the girls and tenn
porarily amuse them, while the blue-coated
sailors acted as hosts to the visitors.
As the day began with brightness on all
Sides so did it end with the most notable
and brilliant series of entertainments the
American navy has ever Participated iu.
The roads presented the appearance of a
huge Christmas tree lighted with different
colored lights, bur at o'clock, when two
thunderous discharges from the American
and British flsRships announced taps, they
as quickly disappeared. At the sound Of
the guns the harbor was wrapped in dark
ness, with the exception of the bright
anchor lights to warn merchRutmea Of the
whereabouts Of the stopping warships.

CHARLESTON, s. c., April 1S.-While the
game Of base ball between Charleston and
Savannah was progressing in Savannah
this afternoon 500 people were listening toa
telegraphlc report Of the game in the
Academy OF Music. It was evident from
the progress Of the game that something
was the matter with the Charleston team.
1t was noticed that the name of League
Umpire Harrington was not upon the
blackboard, aud in response to an inquiry
from the operator here to the one in Savan-
nah it was stated that Umpire Harrington
was indisposed. AT a later hour in the
afternoon man got on the stage and
read from the SAVANNAH NEWS the
account OF the mobbing OF the umpire in
Savannah yesterday. The news spread
rapidly and soon the entire town was up in
arms. Public feeling has become so ex-
cited that it is thought it will not be safe to
bring the Savannah club TO this city on

play here. 1t is an open secret that the
"Hunkidories" will assemble in force outs
side the base bali park on Thursday after
| noon, armed with bludgeons, and that
should Savannah win the game, the men
will be treated TO a doso OF the medicine
that was administered to Umpire Harrlng-
ton in Savannah.
The opinion generally prevails here thai
the Charleston club was bulhed out Of the
game in Savannah to-day, and the cranks
here say they will treat Savannah in q
| similar manner on Thursday next. Under
the circumstances, it is regarded as almost
certain that the game on Thursday will be
a warm one. It may have to be played
under military protection, as was q similar
game between Savannah and Charleston
during the reconstruction era.
THE so-cnlled mobDinR Of the umpire
was nothing but an attack after the game
by gang of boys who hang around outside
the fence during tsprogress. Most Of them
are under 10 years Of age. Their conduct
Is as thoroughly condemned here as in

ment for six weeks imposed by Sir Francis
Jeune, president of the court of probate, for

day that the paper she destroyed was q
letter from the late duke to herself which
she felt privileged to destroy. and she apollo
glzed to tho court, but the judge called her
attention to discrepancies in her statements
concerning this paper and intimAted that
he did not believe her. At all events, as for
the damage she had done the apology was no
atonement he sentenced her as above stated.
The duchess was awaiting the disposition OF
tho case in the barrister's consulting room.
There was n great scene when her friends
communicated the sentence 20 her. The
duchess and the friends around her shed
tears and exhibited great indignation. The
solicitor of the duchess had been prepared
for the result and IN expectation Of the de-
cision had a carriage in waiting and hurried
her Off to Jail
