OF The VERY ELECIEST
One Hundred and Seventy
Five Caper in Red.
HEADED BY WILLIAM X.

the ReveIrieS.
HEADED BY WILLIAM K.

New York, Jan. 29.-One hundred and
Seventy-five of the elect danced last night
at the home of Heber r. Bishop 81 Fifth
avenue. in red dominoes. 1t might easily
have been a masquerade in the time Of
Lorenzo Di Medici and the host intended
it should be so. Everything was red. The
ligths. the flowers, the favors. the con-
fetti; the very liveries of the lackies COM
bined with the gorgeously trimmed dom
inoes of the dancers to form a beautiful
symphony in red. The Louis XVI ball
room, one of the finest in New York, was
garlanded with red roses, caught in fes-
toons with broad red ribbons. Al the
great bronze vases overfiowed with the
splendor of red roses and there came a
time when the floor was strewn with their
petals, crushed by glancing feet of the
dancers.
The overture of the Barber Of Seville
played on hidden strings and reeds sound
ed a welcome TO thearriving dominoes.
Suddenly sixteen of King Carnival s
most devoted courtiers whisked upon the
scene, their domioes surmounted by elab-
crate masks fashioned to represent the
heads of dogs and cats. The women were
cats, and the men dogs. Each wore a
broad black satin bow under the chin,
inscribed in gilt letters with a name such
as one would bestow upon household
pet.
The band struck up set of quadrilles
and the sixteen grotesque maskers squar-
ed off for the evolutions of double qua
drille. 1t was really a romp, so thorough
" had tibet carnival spirit entered into
them.
Not until after this revel was over was
it learned that w. X. Vanderbilt and
Harry Lehr had been the head and front
of this diversion and that of the gentler
dominoes, Mrs. Ogden Mills had ben MI
nette." hrs. Henry Sloane, "Dado," Miss
Evelyn Burden, 'Fifine," Mrs. Stuyvesant
Fish, 'Moussette," Miss Sands, "Moumon-
to-" Mrs Garfield, "Mouche," and Miss
Anna Sands, 'Toutou.'
The announcement of supper at O'Clock
was the signal for the dominoes to be
dropped and the women emerged in su.
peru ball costumes. Small supper table:
had been laid in the DING room, the re-
ception room, the hall and even the library
with it's magnificent bronzes.
The cotillion, led by Worthingtor
Whitehouse. was danced soon after
o'clock. For one of the late figures q
mammoth red satin slipper heaped fun OF
dolls dainty dressed in red was carried
TO the centre of the floor and each one OF
the dancers received a doll.

CATARRH OF THE STOMACH
A Pleasant Simple, But Safe, EfFectual
Cure Fer 1t

Catarrh of the stomach has long been
considered the next thing to incurable.
The usual symptoms are full or bloat-
ing sensation after eating, accompanied
sometimes with sour or watery risings, a
formation of gases, causing pressure on
the heart and lungs, and difficult breath
ing; headache, tickle appetite, nervous
ness and a general played out, languid
feeling.
There is often foul taste in the mouth.
coated tongue, and if the interior Of the
stomach could be seen it would show
Shiny, infamed condition.
The cure for this common and obstinate
trouble is found in treatment which
| causes the food to be readily, thoroughly
digested before it has a time TO ferment
and irritate the delicate mucous surfaces
of the stomach.
| To secure a prompt and healthy diges-
/ ton is the one necessary thing to do, and
when normal digestion is secured the ca
tarrhaI condition will have disappeared
According to DR.. Harlanson the safest
| and best treatment is to use after each
meal d tablet, composed of Diastase
Aseptic Pepsin, a little Nux. Golden Seal
/ and fruit acids.
These tablets can now be found at all
| drug stores under the name of Stuart's
! Dyspepsia Tablets, and, not being a pat
! ent medicine. can be used with perfect
safety and assurance that healthy ap-
petite and thorough digestion will follow
their regular use after meals.

And Effect Produced Upon the Poo-
pie by The Calamity.
Informs Congress of the Findings Of the
Court Of Inquiry, and InVOkes Delib-

the Subject.

WASHINGTON, March q. = The
President to-day transmitted to Con
gress the report of the Board OF In
otiiry into the cause of the Maine dls-
aster. together With transcript OF
testimony consisting of 10000 words
In the message accompanying the re-
port the President reviews the con
dition of affairs which led to the
sending of the Maine to Havana on a
friendly visit. the effect produced by
her visit. and the effect produced Upon
the people of this country by the news
of the calamity.
He then details the procedure Of the
Court of Inquiry appointed in accord
ance with a resolve by the executive
to await material proof before forming
an opinion as to the cause of response
bility. and if the facts warranted. the
remedy due.
After twenty-three days of continu-
Gus labor the court found that when
the Maine was moored at Havana har-
Dor in six fathoms of water excellent
order prevailed on beard, and no Incl
cation OF any cause of internal explo-
sion existed on board. At 9:4G p. m.
February 10Th, two distinct expIp-
sions with brief intervals occurred. the
first lifting the vessel perceptibly.
From the evidence of divers the
court deduces that the first explosion
was caused by a mine under the ?oit
side, but was unable to obtain evi-
dence to fix responsibility.
The President informs Congress that
the finding of the Court of Inquiry has
been submitted to the Queen of Spain
and expresses confidence that the JUS
tice Of the Spanish nation VIII dictate 6
couse of action suggested by honor and
the friendly relations of two Govern
ments, but makes no other comment.

THE MESSAGE.
Paper President Mckinley Sent to
CNngress.

Following is the message to Congress:
ITO the Congress of the United
States:
For some time prior to the visit of
the Maine to Havana harbor our consul
lar representatives pointed out the ad-
vantages to follow a visit Of national
ships to Cuban waters, in aceustoming
the people to the presence of our flag
as the symbol Of good viii and Of our
ships in fuifllment of the mission of
protection to American interests. even
though no immediate need therefor
might exist.
Accordingly, on the 25th day of jan
uary last, after conference with the
Spanish Minister, in which the renewal
of visits of our war vessels to Spanish
waters was discussed and accepted, the
peninsular authorities at Madrid and
Havana were advised of the purpose of
this Government to resume friendly
naval visits at Cuban ports, and with
that view the Maine would forthwith
cali at the port of Havana. This an
nouncement was received by the Span
ish Government with appreciation Of the
friendly character of the visit of the
Maine, and the notification of the
intention to return the courtesy by send
ing Spanish ships to the principal ports
OF the United States.
NAMES ARRIVAL AT HAVANA
Meanwhile the Maine entered the
port of Havana on the 25th of January,
her arrival being marked with no spe-
ciaI incident besides the exchange of
customary salutes and ceremonial
visits. The Maine continued in the har-
Dor of Havana during the three weeks
following her arrival. No appreciable
excitement attended her stay; on the
contrary. a feeling of relief and conf
dence followed the resumption of the
long interrupted friendly intercourse
So noticeable was this immediate eff
feet CT her visit that the Consul-General
strongly urged that the presence of our
ships in Cuban waters should be kept
UP by retaining the Maine at Havana,
or in the event of her recall. by send
ing another vessel there to take her
place.
DESTRUCTION OF THE BATTLE
SHIP.
"At forty minutes past nine on the
evening of the 10Th day of February
the Maine was destroyed by an explo-
sion, by which the entire forward part
of the ship was utterly wrecked. In this
catastrophe two officers and go of her
crew perished those who were not killed
outright by her explosion being penned
between the decks by the tangle OF
wreckage, and drowned by the inimedi-
ate sinking of the huh. Prompt assist

There were but few farmers present,
hut he clearly showed those few how
they had been getting rich during the
past two years, and while there we're
some who were little doubtful, still
the speaker insisted that they We're get
ting rich even though they We're not
aware of it.
There were but few, il any, manufac-
turers present, but he insisted that they
were all getting rich. too. Business in
milling and other interests. a good many
of the mill men say, has been and still
is pretty dull, and profits mighty small,
but that's got nothing TO do with It,
pritchard says that everything is on
boom, and everybody is getting rich,
so what the farmers and manufacturers
say about ii or think about it, milking
no frozen water.
All of the pritchard pie eaters, the
postmasters, the reyenuers, the deputy
marshalls in this part Of the State had
come to hear their chief, but he never
even alluded TO how the prosperity
wave had struck them. According TO the
Senator this is about the only class
who are not getting rich as a result Of
McKinley's election, and yet, the me
gro mica miners who were here a
hundred and fifty strong, were the only
ones who seemed to be hilarious over
their rapidly accommodating fortunes.
