the triumphai social career with which her name had so long been associated. s5s5 Ss
 Secretary Chase built the residence, still standing, in what was then the fashionable section of the city which was noticeable in those days for its spaciousnesS and the ele- gance and taste of it's furnishings, and in which so many of the social events which helped to make the history of that period took place.
 Kate Chase was not only the mistress of her fathers home, but she was his con- fidante and adviser in the innumerable concerns of his great career. The greatest sympathy and trust existed between them, and the daughters brilliant intellectual att tainments and the grace and charm of her manner were of inestimabie advantage to the distinguished father. Her devotion to him in life was not greater than her vener- ation for his memory-a veneration that illumined her own life to the end.
 Upon her fathers elevation to the place of chief justice of the supreme court of the United States, and until her marriage, Kate Chase continued her social successes as the head of her fathers house. Here she held court of her own and her repu- tation spread far and wide IS the most bril- liant woman of her day. The popular Ver- dict declared her at the same time to be among the most beautiful, but while opin- ion may have differed on that point, there were few dissenters from the generally held belief that none outshone her in grace or manner nor the ability to attract and 10 hold all her admirers
 Of her marriage to Governor Sprague ana her continued triumphs for few years, It Is said that the social triumphs achieved by the young girl were increased by her dig nity as a matron. When Governor Sprague became the senator from his state he began a new career seemingly full of promise This was however, but comparatively or short duration, and WashingtonianS of this generation have found in the name of Kate Chase Sprague only a memory Of by gone fame and of a career of which many wears of sadness followed a few years or youthful excitement and pleasure.
 Mrs Sprague was given authority after bar divorce to resume her maiden name, Chase, under which she has been known ever since. and for a time she settled down at Edgewood. The taxes were not paid. but through her efforts congress passed an act remitting the taxes in view of the distinguished service or Mrs. Spragues father, the late Chief Justice Sal mon P. Chase. ~
 In July, 1895, number of prominent men, remembering the services rendered to his country by her father, and those she rem dered herself through the political salon over which she was queen, made up sum sufficient to keep her in comfort TOT the rest of her days. ,S.-
 The amount subscribed was $50'0o0, 10 which Senator Brice John Wanamaker and ~ Sorg contributed 5000 each. The other contributors were prominent repueii- cans in New York, Washington, Cleveland, Boston and Providence. '-

The Modistes Are Off to
 Gotham for Parisian Styles

The fashionable woman finds the prettiest of light fabrics, although the late days of summer have come, and the fashion author- ities are writing of autumn coats and gowns for early fall. I talked the past week with two or three of the modistes, hoping to get some idea of the early au- tumn styles, but the modistes are leaving this week for visit to Gotham, where they will spend q month CT two discussing the coming fashions with the tailors there, who have just returned from Paris. So that the modistes here will by September and October r@tarn with all the new French ideas, and the smart woman is al- ready looking forward to her coming. In looking over the authorities on the present modes found the following notes and de- scriptions of pretty gowns. and the chic touches for the summer toilette:

Kate Chase Sprague as the
 Social Queen of Washinqton

The death of Mrs. Kate Chase Sprague, of Washington, which the papers chroni- cled the past week, has been a topic of conversat tion here among numbers of people who knew her in the hey-day of her glory, when she was recognized as the so- cial leader at the national capital. One or two women here who have recalled her power and brilliancy have spoken most kindly of the troubles which came her her, but a gentleman of the old school who knew her as "bonny Kate" shook his head sadly over her noted career, and did not at- tempt to make excuses for the sorrows which she brought upon her own head.
 In his opinion she was but an extreme type of the vain and beautiful woman who would act an interruptions part to further her ambitious designs. There are other wo- men in Washington today, he added, who have the beauty and ambitions of this noted social queen, but who are not so well verseG in diplomacy. It was her power as a diplomat, engendcred by an interruptions nature, which made her career for time SO triumphant.
 The beginning of her gay life in Washing ton and her subsequent marriage with Governor William Sprague of Rhode Is- land, the divorce proceedings which follow cd not many years after the public gossip dGoul ASOSNNS SbuhtiiiS III COHiectiOn With ncr name, her comparatively quiet life of recent years at her historic homestead Fdgewood, are matters with which almost every one is somewhat familiar. That period, however, when she presided over a political salon in Washington and was the most feted woman of Der day, will never cease 10 be interesting.
 This part of her career Is written about as follows:
 Before coming to Washington, s!;e had presided over the houcehoid of her ia ather when he was governor Of Ohio. and her reputation as brilliant and attractive social leader had preceded her to the capi- tai When her father carno 10 Washington to be secretary Of hc treasury ra6er Pres iJent Lincoln. shc became the mistress of his Was;lirGton home.

Atlanta. Sept. 26-The local press has

the gambling question hgurauvely putting
the capital city in the "Holier than thou
attitude toward Savannah.
As a matter of fact though. just al this
particular time Atlanta has little room to
talk on this subject. and the sermons of
the newspapers have caused broad grin
among the sports and others who are ia
miiar with local conditions.

that these places have been closed.
The pool rooms are now closed as a mat

Is where thc laugh comes in. A few days
ago the city Council passed resolution
suspendiug the ordinance against pool sell
ing on horse races. the same ordinance uu-
der which the alleged pool rooms operated
and We're fined. and of which the local pa
pers speak so eliblN during the contin-

month. This action was taken upon the
representation that good races could not

ting was allowed upon the results.
The sporting fraternity is highly elated
over the prospects for business during the
fa'r and the Savannah gamblers should
take lip and transfer their quarters to
