joying life during this period of sor-
row and tragedy for many of our peo-

ga Charming Ball at Mrs. Burden's."
NEWPORT, r. l., Aug. 21.-Fair-
lawn, the beautifully rebuilt and re-
modelled home of Mr.. and Mrs. Isaac
Townsend Burden, was thrown open
tonight for the grandest ball of the
Newport season. The house, which
was once the property of ex-Vice
President Morton, is now one of the
most beautiful in this city of pala-
tial residences. AS decorated to-
night with autumn fruits, flowers
and electric lights, the house preSen-

The ball was given in honor of
Miss Evelyn Burden, who is one of
the recognized bellies here, and the
younger dancing set predominated
among the two hundred guests pres
ent. AS the carriages drove under
the great porte cochere blaze of
electric light and half dozen funk
eyes ushered the guests into the
dressing rooms.
Great masses of blue hydrangOes
the hall was lined with standing
den received in the Louis Quintz
gold, and redOlent with flowers. Mrs.
silk embroidered with silver, dia-
mond tiara crowned her head and a
great coil of diamonds circled her
throat. Miss Burden was charmingly
costumed in white chiffon, with scar
let ribbons and flower trimmings.
Passing on through the great draw
ing room. the ball room, fifty feet
square, was made gorgeous with
plaques and groups of flowers. The
Hungarian band was enScOnced in a
recess which was a blaze of colored
electric lights. Huge Louis Seize
mirrors, reaching to the floor, served
to double and quadruple the crowd of
dancers. About the long windows
leading to the enclosed terrace great
standards of corn and autumn
flowers were placed The terrace was
bright with electric lights and Japa-
nese lanterns. Supper was served in
the great dining hall at small tables,
it being too raw and cold to sit out
side as originally planned.
FAvORs FROM PARIS.
Mr. Elisha Dyer started the cotil-
lion with Miss Burden shortly before
midnight, over sixty couples taking
part. The favors, which were
brought from Paris for the occasion,
were unusually handsome. even for
Newport ball. For the women there
were hand-painted satin sachets, sill
yer pincushiOns, hairpins, fans, and
picture frames. The men were made
happy with cigar cases filed with
real regalias, silver-mounted note
books, card cases, and writing pads,
all OF the favOrs being of the quality
which society usually exchanges at
Christmas time"

A friend ventured the prophecy
yesterday that John G. Carlisle would
get an appointment to the supreme
bench as his "hirty pieces of siluer"
for betraying the cause of the people
and giving the lie to his former ut
terances. 1t will be interesting to
watch whether this prediction comes
to pass.

The following is an editorial from
the New York Recorder for August
%, 1898. The Recorder is the most
popular republican daily in New
York city. These words contain food
for reflection, and will appeal to the
sober Judgment of patriotic Amer
leans:
1.-The eyes of the whole world are
concentrated on Washington to-day.
On the floor of the of the senate and
or the house of representatives the
most momentous of struggles in the
history of mankind is being waged.
There the money barons of the
world stand arrayed against the peo-
pie; and on the issue of the struggle
hangs the fate of nine in every ten
Americans, and the fate of tens of
millions in other lands.
The money kings, of Lombard St.
