Social Pleasures In the Mountains
Saturday Night HOps.
Correspondence of The Evening Star.
DEER PARK. Nd. July II. 1896.
Even the cold weather OF the middle OF
the week failed to spoil Deer Park as a
summer resort, and the pleasant social life
of hotel and cottage went merrily on. All
of the seventeen handsome cottages are
occupied for the season, and each day
brings other guests
Among the Washngtonians who have
summer residences here are Col Hosmer,
Mrs. Richard Anderson and family, Mrs
Washington Mclean and Mrs. Bugher, and
Mr.. and Mrs. Philip E. Chaplin
Countess Esterhazy and Mrs. Audenreid
ard the Misses Patten are spending the
month of July. Other Washington guests
are Mr.. and Mrs. Robert Fisher, who will
remain throughout the summer; Mr.. and
Mrs. James b. Lambie. Assistant Secretary
Dabney and Mrs. Dabrey and Mr.. Stephen
b. ElkinS. jr.. Miss Sheridan and Miss
Keats Rodgers. the latter young ladies be-
ing guests at Mrs. Bugher's cottage. Capt.
Ludlow, L. 8. N, is also a member of Mrs.
Bughers house party.
The new train service from Baltimore
and Washington being much better than in
former years makes noticeable difference
in the Saturday Monday visitors and
adds happy variety to the regular weekly
hop.
The new golf links. which promise to be
one Of the principal amusements of Deer
Park. We're finished last week and used for
the first time. A golf tournament will
probably be arranged for the last week in
August.
Most of the cottage residents have
brought their own horses with them. and
handsome traps are to he met with on any
road within ten miles of the hotel Among
the handsomest are those of Mrs. J. Swami
Frick of Baltimore and Mrs. Bugher of
Washington.
Bicycles are also popular, all the younger
portion of guests being expert cyclists.
The principal dance of the week is on
Saturday evening, that of last week being
particularly attractive. following as il did
the handsome dirner party given by Mrs.
c. X. Lord in honor of her son Walter,
whose twenty-first birthday occurred that
day. Among the bellies of the evening
were Miss Turnbull, Miss Mildred Morris,
Miss Genevieve Lord and Miss Edyth and
Miss Helen Patten.
Miss Eiyth Patten wore a superb gown
of Persian silk and Mrs. Henry +. Crit
tenden of Columbus. Ohio. an equally hand
some gown of pink ana white taffeta.
On Wednesday morning two hundred ex-
cursionists, all wearing badges of the
Christian Endeavor Society. stopped here
on their way from St. Louis to Washing
ton.

George Ralph, Surveyor, and his
crew OF % men, came in on Tuesday
and at once set out for the Lake OF
the Woods. Mr. Ralph has a scheme
he intends to investigate while sur
veying which will be OF great benefit
to our town and county. 1t is moth
ing less than the making OF a canal
or waterway between Roseau and the
lake. The proposed canal will be Is
miles long and Mr.. Ralph estimates
that it conld be completed for about
$50, OOO-about one-third what it
would cost to lay out a railroad
between the same points. The canal
would enter Roseau river about six
miles north and the dredging OF the
river would be all that would b.
necessary. No locks would be need
ed in the canal and as the ROseau
river is about Is feet lower than the
lake a good fall would be had. 1t
would be a great saving in expense
OF freighting besides being an in
ducement to the fisheries to send
their produce via Roseau. We think
the idea an admirable one and hope
Mr. Ralph will be able to pull it
through. -Roseau Region.

ONE of the first acts Of the McKin-
ley administration should be to recog-
nize the independence of Cuba. On
this fair island, the Queen Of the An
titles, liberty loving people have for
long time maintained desperate
struggle to free themselves from the
despotism Of Spanish rule, and it is
about time that the United States, the
greatest and strongest republic in the
world, should come to the aid OF
these struggling patriots, and strike
a decisive blow for human liberty. A
people, like the Cubans, who for the
sake Of liberty have so long success
fully withstood the crueities of Span
ish warfare, will be able to govern
themselves. But should the people
of the island after securing their in
dependence, consider it advantageous
to join their fortunes with the great
American republic, then let Cuba be
annexed and form one of the bright
est stars in the proud galaxy Of states
At any rate, in the name Of humanity,
let the bloody war that SO long has
devastated the island be stopped. AL
lovers of liberty the world over sym
pathize with the struggling Cubans;
and the proud, crafty, tyrannica5
Spaniard will soon see the last of his
once great American possessions
wrenched from his grasp.

THE BRAIN.
Nourished More Than Other Organi
Hence Does Not Grow Old.


There are two parts of the human or
ganism, which, if wisely used, large
ly escape The decay of old age. These
two are the brain and the heart. Per-
sons who think often wonder why
Acknowledgements statesmen and
others-should continue to work with
almost unimpaired activity and energy
up to period when most of the organs
and functions of the body are in a con-
dition of advanced decay.
The normal brain remains vigorous
to the last, because its nutrition is es-
pecially provided for. About middle life,
or a little later, the general arteries OF
the body begin to lose their elasticity,
and to weaken slowly but surely.
They become, therefore, much less
efficient carriers of the nutrient blood
of the capillary areas. But this is not
the case with the internal carotids,
which supply the capillary areas of the
brain. On the contrary, these large YES
sells continue to retain their elasticity,
so that the blood pressure remains
higher than within the capillary area
Of any other organ of the body. The
blood paths of the brain being thus
kept open, the brain tissue is better
nouriShed than the other tissues of the
body.

FREAK OF AN OBSTINATE MAN
For Fifteen Years He Has Not Left His
Bed.

For IS years the town of Far Hills, n.
J., has had one of the most remarkable
specimens of human obstinacy to be
found anywhere. He is Silas Huffman,
who lives in one of the many fine resi-
dences in the little hamlet. For the
length of time mentioned he has not.
left his bed. This is not because of any
injury, but simply because he wished
TO spite his brother, who, before Silas
retired for his long reposs, held mort
gage on the house in which Huffman
now is.
Silas' sister-in-law, wife of the brother
to spite whom Silas retired to bed, takes
care of him and has repeatedly told him
that he will not be put out if he will
get up, but he will not trust her. His
hair and beard, which he will not al
low to be cut, almost cover the rickety
cid bedstead.
For six months at the outset Silas did
not remove the fastenings from his
door, and did not speak to anyone, al
though many people called to see him.
By this time Silas was the most famous
man around there, and many plans
were put into operation in order to
make him give up his bed. Noisy coun-
try bands performed under his window
and cannons were fired off. Silas did
not mind them and ignored the many
inducements that were offered him If
he would leave his bed and would not
speak to his former friends who came
to see him.
A year after he began his strange ex'
istence a terrible storm passed over the
district and the house was struck by
lightning. Everyone in the house ex'
cept Silas was stunned. His. room was
partly wrecked, but when his sister
, sought to see if he was injured he was
| sitting in the debris and said to his sis
ter, to whom he had not talked for
| months: "The next time they shoot of
that gol darn old cannon 1 hope it will
| bust"
The years passed, but Silas remained
in his bed. The inaction naturally
| weakened him mentally and physically
and he is now helpless imbecile.

Street Car Accidents.

More people receive what may be
called trivial injuries in embarking and
alighting from the street cars than is
commonly supposed" remarked a
physician. Prom my own observation
and from what can learn 1 Should
judge that the bruises and slight
sprains of hands, arms and legs sus-
tanned by passengers in ayear figure up
in the thousands. Of course in nine
tenths of the cases the victims are Who'll
ly to blame. Theinjured person sfully
aware of this, and nurses his bruise or
sprain and nothing is said of it. Even
in many instances where the employ
ers are partly to blame the victims will
overlook the carelessness of the COM
pany's servants and will not communi-
cate the fact to the Office. Once in
awhile the railway company will pay

AUSTRIA'S GRIEF.
The Unhappy Country Beset by the Foes
of Her Own Household.

The cruel humiliation Austria suf-
fered in Italy was followed by the
crushing blow at Sadowa, and the not
less painful collapse of brothers am
billions in Mexico. If the dignity of
Caesar was to be saved for the Haps-
burgs out of the wreck, it seemed most
likely to be achieved on the lines sug-
gested by Count Beust. The choice once
made, it was impossible to turn back.
What is given as boon to distressed
nationalities in the name of progress
cannot afterward be withdrawn on the
plea of prudence. The result is pa
thetic, but there is no help for it.
We see Croats, Ruthenians, Poles,
Servians, Wallachs and the rest of the
half-barbarous hordes cutting one an
others threats when they are not COM
bining to insult the civilized Hungari
ans and Germans, whose fate it is to be
their neighbors; we see Vienna itself
in the hands of a fanatical anti-Semetic
rabble, and we see the power of the
only capable parliamentary party in
Austria broken by hopeless discussions.
Truly, the domestic state of the empire
is nothing less than pitiable. Its in
fuence in Europe is also thing of the
past. The Balkan states, which were
it's props in the south, have publicly
gone over to Russia, and its solitary
remaining protection against dis
memberment is the alliance with Italy,
which covets Dalmatia, and with Ger
many, which is moving heaven and
earth to establish secret relations with
Russia
