escape from the island. Seven persons are
killed andseventeen wounded on thesteamer

the Center of Attraction.
Wedding Progra Are Becoming
Somewhat Faddfsh-Mrs. Sar-
toris Has Gone South.

favored the garden party held during the

Not only were the electric cars filled
throughout the afternoon and evening with
those who attended the garedu party, but
the roads leading in all directions to Chevy

from the number OF private equipages OF
every description that carried the owners
to and from the place.
Out on the lawn the majority of guests
strolled about as long as the sunshine
lasted, enjoying the out-of-door aspect OF
the fete to the fullest extent BY no means
the least attractive feature OF the after
noon was the predominance OF pretty
gowns worn not only by the ladies of
the reception party and those in charge
enerally, but by the company in attend
ance. The profusion OF flowers every
where within the inn, as well as on the
tables set about on the piazzas, added to
the charm of the occasion.
Refreshments We're served throughout the
entertainment. During the early part of
the evening the musicians were also sta
toned on the piazza, but after half-past 8
O'Clock they moved into the large dining
room, which by that tirCe had been cleared
for dancing.
The company was received on the piazza

FOUR NEW STAFF OFFICERS.
Com mand of Salvation Army Barrack,
Now in Their Hands.

Com ma nd of Salvation Army Barracks
Now in Their Hands.
Adjt Isabel Wood, Capt. Eva Dunlop,
aud Lieuts. Louise Buys and Mary Chandler,
the new staff officers in charge of the
Salvation Army barracks, No. $50 Penn
sylyauia avenue, arrived in the city Thurs
day morning from Newark, N. j. Their
arrival caused quite flutter of excite
meut among the rank and file of the army,
who gave them cordial welcome.
Only one of the new officers, Adjt Wood,
has seen much field service. She is
bright, pretty little brunette and fluent
talker who speaks forcibly and dconvincingly.
She was born in Folkestone, England,
about thirty years ago, and at an early
age was so moved by the salvationists'
methods that she joined the army as a
soldier, in which capacity she labored for
more than three years.
Eleven years ago she was made an officer
and sent to London, where she remained
until She came to this country, six years
ago. Her first work here was at the
old barracks, corner Fourteenth street
and Sixth avenue, New York, where the
national Headquarters are now being
erected. From there she went to the
training barracks at Newark, N. j., where
she remained until she came here.
Capt. Eva Dunlop, the nextin command,
is a very prepossessing blonde, native
of Manistee. Mich, where she was horn
| twenty 1.-TWO years ago. She has very
fine voice, which was cultivated by the
best vocal instructors in the West. In
1892 she was selected to sing in chorus
| at the Spectatorium, in Chicago, during
| the Worlds Fair, but shortly before
| that time. she being always rebgiously in
| clined, cancelled her eng agement, took
| up the banner of the Salvationists, and
| marched to the front in the war against
| sin and vice.
She was Immediately sent to headquar-
| ters in New York, from which point she
has done mission work in some OF the sur
| rounding cities.
Lieuts. Buys and Chandler are also de-
cided blondes. and have just finished theiE
| course at the training barracks at New
| ark, n. j.

House Was Carefully Drawn.
Mrs. Mary C. Morris, whose home
is at Thirty sixth and Prospect
streets, Georgetown, was yesterday
refused an appeal from the interlocu-
tory order of Judge Cox on May Is, al
lowing the use of explosives in excavating
at the union passenger station of the w.
s. g. r. r., near her house. The blasting
lis done under the supervision of a court
officer in tho pay Of the company.
The court Of appeals, in an opinion writ
ten by Judge Alvey. says the act under
under which an appeal is asked puts u the
discretion of the court to allow an appeal
in such cases as this. 1t is necessary,
therefore, that strong presentation OF
facts should be made, and the dourt must
consider both the nature OF the case and
the operation OF the interlocutory order
must be considered.
They find ID the facts shown no suffi-
cient cause for departing from the ordi-
nary course-no emergency. Tie order
is cautiously drawn, and gives the COM
plainant a right 10 be heard again before
any new work can be commenced.

One of the latest ideas at fashionable wed
dings is TO have the musical programme one
of the prominent features of the ceremony.
Operatic music has been called into requisi-
ton for this purpose to much greater ex-
tent than ever before. While no regular
announcement is made to the effect that the
music is also to be one of the features of the
ceremony, it is always so arranged that
this fact shall be apparent, even to the
least obseTant.
For Some time this has been the case at
all of the leading weddings in the fash
ionable churches. and where the ceremo-
nies were performed according to the ritual
Of the Episcopal church. the dramatic
possibilities of the occasions have been
utilized to the best advantage by having
a full choral service. This is always ef-
fective, and whenever it is practicable
is now added to the programme OF fash
