The wedding of Miss Daisy, daughter

AicCaulder, younger son OF Capt. Peter
McCauldcr, and second officer of the
steamer "Admiral Schleyo, took place In
Boston Saturday, Aug. 26.
Dr. A. G. Young secretary OF the State
board of health, was in town last Thurs
day to inspect the "tannery stream nui-
sance', complaints OF which have been
coming to the local and State boards of
health for several years. The alleged nui-
sance is caused by stencil from refuse
from one OF the Bl0dgett tanneries. With
a good pitch OF water, there is little
trouble, but when the water is low the
stencil is intolerable. Several years ago
sewer was built from the tannery to the
river. Dwellings on the east side of the
stream entered paid their share, but the
tannery refused to do so and never has,
although the sewer was built almost on
purpose to accommodate it. DR.. Young
recommended that dam or reservoir
should be built to hold the Objectionable
matter when there was not water enough
to flush the stream thoroughly.

They make flags to order and they charge
for their services the price of the ma

five days to max a flag. These flags
workers purchase China silk, both white
and red, by the yard and after cutting it
in suitable lengths they sew, the long

so thatthey will lie perfectly Hat. The
seams must not be overhanded, but must
be neatly stitched on thesewing machine,

there is neither right nor wrong side.
There are sewers who can overland so
that there is no wrong side. They take
very small stitches and when the goods
are pressed fiat the edges lie exactly to-
gether and the threads are visible on
both sides.
For the field they sew a square of blue

upon It,. The stars are cut out of white
SILK and are tonic stitched Upon

used md the blu field is also heavy. 1t

Julia Dent Grants BIG WGl(iDg'

Newport is hoping for a big wedding.
Mrs. Potter Palmer does not say thai
1t shall not have one, and it is expected
that Beaulieu. the Waldorf AstOr villa
which the Potter Palmers have taken for
the summer, will be the scene of the most
magnificent wedding of the decade.
Beaulieu has been occupied by the CAL
vim $. Brice family for several seasons
at the rental of $15, 900 a season. Last
year the Potter almeT looked for a cot
tage that would be large enough for their
entertainments, but could find nothing
that quite suited them. But this year
they have taken Beaulieu off the hands
of the Brice family, who are in mourning,
and will entertain laVi;hly.
Mrs. Potter Palmer who is RESPONSE
BILE for Miss Grant career in society,
has no daughter of her own and. since
the bringing out OF her niece four years
ago. she has put her forward in society
as though she We're her own child. Miss
Grants mother is the sister of Mrs.
Palmer. who was before marriage to the
westrn millionaire in 1871, Miss Bertha
Honore. But Mrs. Grant is quieter thar
her sister, Mrs. Palmer, and is less Of a
public woman in every way.
Julia Dent Grant began her life in
the White House, she being born during
the presidency OF her grandfather, Gen
eral Ulysses Grant. Her mother, whose
home was in Chicago, often took her on
a visit to the West, hence the SUPPOSE
tiGn that Miss Grant is a Western girl.
When quite az child Miss Grant went
to Austria to live. Her father was APP

Then there is a process. known as
smuggling, when the cloth is subjected to

You can go into the shop and buy
twenty flags and you can take each one
and dip it in hot water; yet the colors
will not run. You can toss it in the salt

and scour 1t upon the wash board. When

people actually do wash their flags to

In Italy upon festive occasions the peO-

amount upon the young woman whose
past they have so carefully guided.
Another word with regard to the Cam
tacuZeneS. Years ago General Grant be.
came acquainted on his tou around the
world With the father of the present
prince, and a warm friendship sprang
up between them; something similar to
that which existed between the late gen.
eral and Lii Hung Chang.
When Mrs. Potter Palmer went abroad
in the interest of the Worlds Fair she
took letters of Introduction to the Can
tacuZenes and was entertained by them
in ussia. After her return a correspond
cnce was kept up, II Mrs. Palmer has
frequently quoted the ladies of the Can
tacuZene family as being very delightful
women. So Miss Grant has alaWys been
familiar with the family by name, and
the sudden friendship which sprang up
between herself and the prince was one
Of longer growth than the short ac-
Q~uaintance would imply.
If Beaulieu is the scene of a great New
port wedding, all society will be inter-
ested, for hte prince will ave an oppor-
tunity to see America at it's richest and
best and Miss Grant will ave a send -off
worthy an American heiress.

Even the children and women are timid,
and scream at the sight of a European,
while in the presence of the men they are
silent and taciturn. Even when alone, the
Malay neither talks nor sings. in this re-
spect differing much from the Papuan,
who has all the negro traits of chattering
and singing to himself for company.
Cverpay a Malay for some trifle and his
countenance betrays no sign of emotion:

quarrel about money matters, and rathe

ordinary life he is as impressive as the ty-

dian, though, unlike him. the Malay does
not dissemble his feelings or play a part.
He has really little, if any, appreciation

jealous Of any interference with his own

The CantacuZene family is a very

is said that he received something from
