The Coachmen's Ball.

The annual ball of the Coachmen's Union
was given last evening at the Colored Odd
Fellows Hall on NJ street. This Is an
event in below-stairs and stable society,"
which Is quite as big and important in it's
way any of the functions at the White
House or in diplomatic circles. The same
rules of social precedence obtain here as
hold on Connecticut avenue, and the driver
of q night liner stands no more chance of
getting into the sacred precincts than does
a chimney sweep of being invited to a cabi-
net reception. The gentleman who drives
for the biggest swell is the SWEETEST coach
man at the ball, and ladies' maids at all
the biggest houses in town had last even
ing off to skip the light fantastic with their
favorites from the drivers box. 1t was
great success from social standpoint
that ball of the coachmen-and while the
union has only about fifty members, there
were over a hundred couples on the floor
and they danced until an early hour this
morning. AT midnight the grand march
struck up and the guests filed out to the
supper tables, where an elaborate and sub
stantial repast was spread. The music was
tip-top. the costumes of the men We're as
black and conventional as appear at any
fashionable entertainment, while the gowns
of the ladies were the very latest and in
every way most proper, and, altogether
the ball was one to be remembered and
looked back to for year with feelings of
pleasure and satisfaction.

ALL IN LATIN.
The Performance Given In Columbian
University Last Night.


University Last Night.
There was big audience in the lecture
hall of the Columbian University last even
ing, but 1t is a question how many people
thoroughly understood and appreciated the
entertainment which was provided for
Torrance in that all the features in the
program were in the Latin tongue, and it
is one thing to be able to translate a page
of Caesars commentaries and quite an
other to follow all the details of musical
and literary entertainment, such as might
have graced the boards of Roman theater
a couple of thousand years ago.
The program was printed in Latin, and
all the young men and women who took
part in the show We're attired in Roman
Prof. Montague, which was Latin as
any Philippe, a chorus was sung by Messrs.
Donnelly, Playter, Fincllel, Misses Mcguire,
Morrison, Metcalf, Biddis, Ross, Altemus,
kelton, Clements and Bradford. Miss Ade-
lima E. Mcguire read a Latin story. A
Latin song followed, by Miss Adelaide
Clements in sweet soprano. Miss Hen
rietta c. Morrison read an ode from Catul-
lus and Mr.. William X. Ward gave Ciceros
second GRAFTON. a quartet, consisting of
Messrs Finckel and Donnelly and Misses
Miss Grace l. Ross rected an ode from
Horace, and the program concluded with
the presentation of a Latin play, THE
CaptiveS' of PlautuS, in which the cast
was made up of Mr. George r. Davis, Mr..
Frederick A. L. Schade, Mr.. Reed P. Clark
and Mr.. Conrad NJ. Patten. Mr.. Raymond
Nj. Alden acted as prompter.

THE MONROE DOCTRINE.
Some Utterances the Subject by
Gen. Grant and Salmon Il. Chase.

Some Utterances on the Subject by
Gen. Grant and Salmon +. Chase.
To the Editor of The Evening Star:
AS the statesmen and the press are now
engaged in the discussion of the Monroe
doctrine and the possible difficulties that
surround such doctrine that may come up
to trouble this country, the following decia-
rations of Mr.. Chase, late chief justice of
the Supreme Court, will be found of great
interest:
IT believe that the statesmen whose Views
were represented by President Monroe's
message, including Mr.. Monroe himself, in
tended to be understood in the plain sense
of the language employed; meant that any
attempt to force the European system upon
America would be dangerous to our safety
and that that any interference with any
American government by European powers
for the purpose of depressing it or forcibly
controlling its destiny would be regarded as
an unfriendly manifestation.
'In this sense the declaration was under
stood and accepted by the American people
and became cardinal principle of Ameri-
can policy. After all, however, it is not
so important to inquire into the history as
to the soundness of the doctrine and the
propriety of insisting on it's application to
the recent events in San Domingo and
Mexico. 1t certainly would have suited my
temper and taste much better to do SO; and
yet I cannot blame Mr.. Seward for not
having done So He never renowned it; he
only forebore to insist on it, when to insist
would only have been counted a menace
and would have precipitated recognition of
the rebel confederacy, and that recognition
would have been followed by war"
Referring to Napoleons attempt to seize
Mexico, Gen. Grant, in his personal me-
moirs, says:
Seeing a nation extending from ocean to
ocean, embracing the better part of CONT
nent, growing as we were growing in popu-
laton, wealth and intelligence, the Euro
pean nations thought 1t would be we'll to
give us a check. Hence England, France
and Spain joined in setting up an Austrian
prince upon the throne of Mexico, totally
disregarding any rights or claims that
Mexico had of being treated indie
pendent power
Under pretext of protecting their citi-
zens, these nations seized upon Mexico as
a foothold for establishing European
monarchy upon our continent, thus threat
ening our peace at home. l, myself, re-
garded this direct act of war against
the United States by the powers engaged
the United States would treat 1t as such
when their hands were free to strike"
After the surrender of Lee at Appomatox
Gen. Grant at once started for Washington
but before doing so he started Gen. Sheri-
dan for the Rio Grande, with an army
taken from the illustrious army of the Po-
tomac-that army which not only saved
this country from the wreck of disunion,
but saved Mexico from foreign ruler.
The sight of Sheridan with his troops on
the banks Of the Rio Grande gave Mexico
her independence without the firing of a
gun.

Local Notes of Interest From Across
Rock Creek.

ROCK Crech.
The appropriation for defraying the ex-
pense incurred in the burial of INDECENT
United States soldiers ana sailors has been
called into service through the death of
Carter Campbell a well-known old colored
man. who died yesterday at Freedman's
Hospital. Campbell had been sailor in
the United States service and been hon
orably discharged. This morning the re-
mains were inclosed in a neat coffin and
inferred at Arlington cemetery.
Carter CampbelPs last days were spent
in the service of Dillingham;, the West
End furniture dealer.
The INDECENT burial appropriation is 5000
annually. Forty dollars are allowed to the
funeral. exclusive of the burial site.
The Tenleytown electric cars are falling
in line with the fender movement.
Wheat, which Up to within few weeks
ago has been a drug on the market al
50 cents and thereabouts, has suddenly
taken a leap and is now bringing 20 and
IS cents. AS the latest crop was much
smaller in the counties about here than
for several seasons, there is a strong be-
lief that the grain will shortly bring a
dollar bushel.
Several of the Montgomery and Washing
ton county mills have shut down on ac-
count of the rise, and the unwillingness of
the farmers to dispose of what they have
at the present market price. They will
wait for a still higher figure. Last sea-
sons flooding of the wheat market so low
cred prices that many farmers rthis season
laid out their wheat fields in other stuffs.
Hence the scarcity.
Georgetowners have for years been using
the letter hole in the big post office door
here to drop their mail in at night. AS
these doors are not opened until the morn
ing letters and parcels have been delayed
in forwarding six or eight hours. Post
master Hutchins, to facilitate the delivery
of these night letters, has closed up the
drop hole and placed letter and parcel
box Immediately in front of the office. from
which collections are made at 12:30. At
this hour the office is not opened, but the
entire collection taken to Washington for
distribution.
Lorenzo Honey, in wandering through
Mt. Zion graveyard yesterday discovered
two dead infants lying on the surface of
the burying ground. They we're evidently
twins a boy and girl. 1t is believed that
they died naturally, and were put there
in the hope of securing for them an in
terment there instead of in he potter's
field. The coroner was notified, the bodies
being brought to the station and placed
in the morgue.
Last night the Mite Society gave an en-
tertainment at the Dumbarton Avenue
Church. Every number on the program
was one of excellence. The selections were
musical and literary. The crowd was large.

A Band of Music Delighted the Crowds
of Spring Pedestrians.
Yesterdays sun brought out not only the
leaves and grass and the crowds and the
birds and other signs of spring. but it also
brought forth band of music and a long
parade of wagons that meant the formal
opening of that season so eagerly welcomed
by thirsty people, the day of book beer.
The little parade-and it was not so little
either for it was composed of a victoria,
a tallo-ho, two buggies, double team goat
wagon and twelve delivery wagons-started
at o'clock and went meandering over the
city, making merry music for three hours.
1t started at the bottling establishment Of
F. H. Finley & Sons, near Washington Cir
Gle, and toured and footed about the city
like an angle worm endowed with musical
abilities. Appropriate banners and signs
decorated the vehicles, and announced to
the world that crowded the curbs on the
line of march that Messrs. Finley We're the
sole agents of Val. Blatz's beer in this Dis
trict, and that 1t is good beer, and that it is
right now in season. These signs of the
times were humorously written and de-
lighted tine people.
