MIR. WINFIELD SCOTT TO MARRY.
Reported That He Is Soon to Wed
Miss Remsen, of New York.

Reported That He Is Soon to Wed
Miss Remsen, of New York.
II the New York papers speak cor
rectIy. Mr.. Winfield Scott, formerly OF
this city, but now of New York. Is soon
TO become a Benedict. His bride-elect Is
Miss Remsen, daughter of wealthy
Gothamite. who was one Of the founders
of the celebrated Patriarchs' Ball. Mr.
Scott lived here for great many years
and was very well known. He was a
club man. and entertained most extrava-
gantly. IL does not appear to be known
among Mr. Scott's friends here when or
where the approaching wedding will take
place.
The New York Press Of yesterday, af-
ter referring to the engagement, has this
TO say of the groom-eiect:
"Of course. when young Winfield Scott
IS mentioned as the grandson of Winfield
Scott l.. every one jumps to the conclu-
sion that his father was the son OF WIN
field Scott ]. This, however. is not the
case. Henry Scott. of New Berne. n. c.,
was General Scotts adjutant when the
latter was in Mexico, and the old SOL
der became very fond of him. In regular
storv-book style, he fell desperately in
love with Miss Scott, who, having other
fine courtiers, sought the advice OF her
father in choosing a husband. He imme-
diately selected Captain Henry Scott, not
only because he was a splendid fellow
and a brave soldier, but In order to pre-
serve the family name. And so it came
to pass that they married and had issue,
the present Winfield Scott.
winfield Scott is less headstrong than
his maternal grandfather, who mutinied
for several years in the army until jack
son sat down on him, and who lost the
presidency of the United States on ac-
count of plate of soup. Scott and Tay-
lor were the only possible candidates OF
the Wings. and 1t was a close heat be-
tween the two for the nomination. Some
Of Scott's workers approached him I'm his
hotel as he was eating a plate of soup,
and begged him to show himself before
the convention Immediately. as 1t would
insure his unanimous nomination.
damn it. gentlemen" he exclaimed.
Let me finish my soup. It's hot now,
and cannot eat it cold!
He felt cocksure of the nomination,
but when he failed to appear as desired,
his rival. Zachary Taylor, was named.
-Four years later he was the Wing candi-
date. but Pierce defeated him over
whelmingly."

REPUBLICAN LEAGtE Clubs.
Proposition 10 Have District Repre-
scented fla National Organization.

NJ. l.. VI. Saunders of this city has been
appointed national executive committeeman
for the District OF Colombia by the Ma
tional Republican League of the United
States.
A reorga nization OF the republican league
clubs of the District into the National Re-
publican League of the United States has
been proposed. and is being strongly advo-
Gated by Mr.. Saunders. Speaking of this
proposition to Star reporter today, MIR.
Saunders said:
The republican organizations heretofore
existing in the District Of Columbia have
proved unsatisfactory. and. as rule, have
been Of short duration. They have been
voluntary and self-appointed, and conse-
Quently of little or no influence in adjust
ing the nolitical affairs of the District. A
strong central orgnnizarivi,, mgr the Ma
iional Republican League % the United
States, now existing in all the states and
territories of the Union, and embracing
more than 1N9.ss9 members at the present
time. will. it is thought. prove of great
benefit TO the republicans on the District as
Well as an aid 10 the republican efministra-
tion of the general government here.
1T is conceded that in this District, where
political parties are denied the right to ex-
press their wishes and prefer ences at the
ballot box. strong central organization OF
the kind indicated will receive the cordial
support of the party i'm power"

SMALL BAND OF SMALL BOYS
Diminutive Party Starts Out in Quest Of
Game and Adventure.
After n Day I'm the Woods the Young
sters Land I'm Police station
Money Stolen.

eff your honor please" stated Assistant
District Attorney Mullowny addressing
Judge Kimball today in the Police Court.
I'VE have here a band of Klondikers. who
started forth yesterday to dig gold and
shoot Indians. AS preliminary, one OF
the bold band dug into his fathers trunk
and unearthed $371."
Mr.. Mullowny thus called attention TO
a quartet of small white boys who stood
at the rail of the dock. They were James
Merlin Disney. fifteen years of age; Oscar
Gibbs. aged thirteen: Arthur Baker. aged
sixteen, and Chester Wilfong, aged four
teen.
Disney is the one who stole the money.
continued Mr.. Mullowny, but his parents
do not care to prosecute him. In view
thereof / cannot charge the others with re-
ceiving stolen property. l would suggest
that your honor give the boys a lecture be-
fore we dismiss them"
Tie escapade of the youngsters was
rather Interesting. After extracting the
money from the trunk yesterday, Disney.
whose father is Joshua B. Disney, track
foreman of the Pennsylvania railroad al
Benning. proceeded to Benning, where he
displayed the roll of bills and thereby
tempted five other boys to follow him.
Hiring a vehicle they rode to this city and
purchased full armament of rifles. knives
and ammunition at an establishment at the
corner of 18th and E streets.
The ferocious little party next boarded
an electric car at 1870 street and Pennsyi-
tania avenue. bound for Alexandria. At
the brick yards they alighted, however,
and decided to seek game In the nearby
woods, where a camp fire was built. There
two of The boys, Louis Hayes and Willie
Brooks developed full-fiedged cases of
inconsistencies. The condition of the pair
growing entirely too lachrymose for the
comfort of their companions, Louis and
Willie were shipped home.
Party Returns to Town.
After a day of more or less reckless
revelry in the forests of Alexandria coun-
/ ty, Robin Hood Disney and his merry band
returned to the city. After firing few
shots in a rife gallery, the four youngsters,
with rifles on their shoulders. marched
eastward along Pennsylvania avenue.
Their triumphant procession was rudely
interrupted. though, at 18th street by Po-
! l:cemen Bartel, Houghlan, Oriani and
Judge, who took them to the first precinc.
| station house. The father of Disney had
reported the theft and the disappearance
of the uvy, civ in the dav thct tho
police throughout the city were on the
lookout. The boys were detained at the
| station house all night The police recov-
cred the greater portion of the stolen
money.
InterrOgated by Court.
Where did you get the idea of going to
Klondike?" asked Judge Kimball when the
case was called to his attention today.
I'VE wasn't going there" replied one of
| the boys.
Well where were you going?"
Camping"
Where are your lassoes?" Mr.. Mullowny
wanted to know.
Haven't bought 'en yet" one of the
quartet made answer.
Judge Kimball told the boys that they
