SOCIAL AND PERSONAL.

One of the spectacular bubbles set
afioat by Dame Rumor during these days
of the dog star, has just been pricked
by Mrs. Frederick D. Grant, who states
that there is no truth whatever in the
report of Miss Grants engagement to
Prince Albert of Flanders.
1t is more than probable that Mrs.
Grant will find it necessary later on to
make a similar declaration in reference to
the Count of Turin, as it was generally
conceded by social Newport during his
visit there last month that he was strong
ly attracted by the young lady, who was
at that time a guest of Mrs. Potter Pal
mer, her aunt.
Miss Julia Dent Grant is liable, indeed,
to keep her mother busy denying roman
tic rumors from now on until, as the
dear, wholesome old-fashioned folk would
put Ii "The right man comes along.
She is pretty, clever. and thoroughly low
able in her disposition, and as it is natu-
raj for princes, counts, and plain every
day Americans TO be charmed with such
a captivating trio of gifts, what else can
Mrs. Grant expect?

GEN. CoRBIN's ANALYSIS.
Thinks the Death Rate in the Army
La I.0x1

Adjt. Gen. Corbin's attention was call
ed yesterday TO the figures printed yes
terday morning by the Chicago Tribune
relative to the number of soldiers who
had died during this war. 1t printed
1854 names, and estimated that the en-
tire number of dead would reach 2.0c0
He made a comparison. the results of
which were announced yesterday.
THE Tribune he said. prints the
names of 1884 dead. l think the number
will reach l,500. The army has been in
existence four months, and numbers in
round figures. 10000.
THAT is just about the population of
the District of Columbia. The records OF
the health office of the District show that
in three months just ended more than LOO
OF the 100000 residents of the District
died Out of the same population in the
army $50 have died in four months. 1
don't think that is such an awful show
ing for the management of the army

P. E. Butler, of pack train No. 3, writ

says: I'VE all had diarrhea in more or
less violent FORM and when we landed we
had no time to see a doctor, for it was a
case of rush and rush night and day to
keep the troops supplied with ammuni-
tion and rations, but, thanks to Chamber
lains Collie Cholera and Diarrhea Rem
edy, we were able to keep at work and
keep our health: in fact, l sincerely be-
lieve that at one critical time this medi-
cine was the indirect savior of our ar
my, for if the packers had been unable
to work there would have been no way
cf getting supplies to the front. There
were no roads that a wagon train could
use. My comrade and myself had the
good fortune to lay in a supply of this
medicine for our pack train before we left

TO PHRSPIRE AND ENDURE
Such Is the Lot of Washing
ton These Days.
ESTABLISHING A RECORD
This Is the Hottest Opening of Au-
tumn for Many Years-LittIe Re-
lief in Prospect-Weather bureau
Holds Out n Promise of Possible
ShOwers-0ne Prostitution.


The hottest Summer since 1881, when
President Garfield was shot, has just
passed; the hottest September experienced
for an even longer period, is prevailing
now.
The first month of Autumn is usually
somewhat torrid, but this September has
been a record-breaker. For three days
Washington has been more like an I'M
mense steam room in gigantic Turkish
bath in point of temperature and humid
ity. than anything else to which it can
be compared.
The weather during the past few days
has been more distressing even than it
was during the hottest days of July and
August, owing 10 the excess of humidity
in the atmosphere. During the hottest
day of the year. in the latter part of
June the thermometer at the Weather
Bureau registered 1O1 1-2 degrees, but
there was not a single case of heat pros
tration reported. 1t was so during all the
hot weather of that period. but during
the last three days, when the thermome-
ter registered only SO degrees. there have
been a number of cases of heat prostra-
ton, and one death, which occurred
Thursday afternoon.
Yesterday REPETITION.
Yesterday was just such another stew
ing hot day as the one which preceded it.
but there was not so much suffering as
on the two preceding days, and only one
prostration was reported. In the early
morning breeze moderated the heat,
but when the sun climbed over the tree
tops and began to send its scorching rays
through the misty haze which hung over
the city, humanity commenced to swell
ter.
For the rest of the day there was moth
ing for it but to perspire and endure. In
the afternoon the heat was almost un-
bearable, and IL kept up until last night
when southern breeze started up again
and slightly cooled the atmosphere The
humidity continued high, however, and
there was not much Improvement in the
general conditions.
Possible showers.
Possible showers tomorrow or Monday,
and a consequent clearing of the atmos-
phere and reduction of the temperature
is the best that the officials of the
Weather Bureau can offer in the way
of comforting meteorological assurance,
and they do not seem to be absolutely
certain that the showers will come then.
In the meantime, it will be as hot as
and perhaps hotter than before. For
today the weather will continue fair, and
the temperature Will continue high.
The one prosration reported yesterday
was the case of George ". Jackson, en-
ployed in the Pennsylvania freight yards.
at the corner of Thirteenth and D
Streets southwest. jackson was pros
trated while at work. and was sent to
his home in the patrol wagon from the
Fourth Precinct police station. His condi-
| tion is not serious.

Immediately started out with two gangs

sewers in the vicinity of the Pennsyl-

Theory of the Police.

Last night the brother of the missing
merchant visited the Baltimore and Ohio
depot and had a talk with Detective Ed
Horne, of the Sixth precinct. He was
advised by Detective Horne to make a
search of the asylums and hospitals in
Washington. as we'll as the Jail and work
house, and this will be done today
The theory of the police is that Richey
is wandering about the country. or incar-
cerated somewhere, suffering from men
tai alteration. When he was young he
received kick in the head from horse
and all his life he has been subject to
most excruciating headaches. So far as
his relatives know, these have never Caus-
ed him any mental ldisarrangement, even
temporarily, but the police. taking this
in conjunction with the fact that he has
suffered greatly from the neat during the
Summer. are inclined to believe that he
is suffering from some form of insanity.
When he left Woodstock over two
weeks ago, for New York, he had quite
sum of money with him, but the stock
of goods he purchased was extensive, and
it is not thought that he had much left
when he reached Washington.
