which Mines. Melba and Sembrick have
highly PARSED.
Next in popular interest is the betro-
thai of Miss Katharine Clark, youngest
daughter of the many million dollar SEN
ator from Montana, to Dr. Lewis r. Nor
ris of New York city. She is a charm
ing young woman. pretty, graceful, gay,
extremely accomplished and apparently
quite unspoiled by her fathers uncomput-
able wealth. 1t is said that several titled
foreigners have been eager to lay their
musty honors at her feet, but without en-
enlargement from her, or her sensible
sire Her mother died about three years
ago, and since then she has been her
fathers constant companion, even in his
busy political campaigns. For many
years it has been the habit of the Cop
per King to spend part of every year
abroad, and several times has taken his
youngest daughter with him. The other
daughter, only three or four years older,
is the wife of DR.. E. M. Culver of New
York city, and it was in the home of
her brother-in-law that Miss Katherine
met her fate. Senator Clark's New
York home is at present in one of the
immense apartment houses on Fifty
eighth street, pending the completion of
his magnificent new residence overlook
ing Central Park. His picture gallery
alone is worth two or three moderate for
tunes. Attention was lately drawn to
the Senator's unusually fine collection by
his purchase of a Fortuny, Choosing the
Model" for which he paid $4,000. :.
Another engagement of note is that of
Miss Edith Morton, the eldest of former
Vice President Levi p. Morton's five
daughters so well remembered here. Miss
Morton was a marked figure in Wash
ington society during her fathers term,
and her fance, Mr.. William Corcoran
Eustis, grandson of the phlanthropis-
millionaire, Mr. William Corcoran, spent
his boyhood here. His father is the late
Chief Justice George Eustis of Louisiana.
All the Morton sisters are tall and fair
like their mother, who is said to have
been one of the most charming and beau
tiful women that ever aornamented New
York society-and that is saying a very
great deal At present the mother and
her two elder daughters are in Rome,
but will come home for grand New
York wedding in the early summer. That
all these representative young women,
who are heiresses and have Travelled ex-
tensively and seen life in it's most luxuri-
Gus phases, should have selected Ameri-
can husbands, instead of the titles and
empty foreign honors they certainly
might have secured, is an example worthy
of emulation.
The Admiral of the Navy and Mrs
Dewey are Swinging around the circle"
in the sunny South, in order to ascertain
so Mrs. Dewey confded to her friends,
chow the people feel about having George
for the next President" But now comes
the statement, on excellent authority,
that the travels of the happy pair will be
abruptly curtailed in this country, and
they will bury themselves in Europe the
next few months. Therein may be dis
cerned the eminently level head of
brothef-ir1-favv John Rz-McLean, who has
aspirations himself toward the Vice Pres
idency, along with the rest of the family
ambitions. After that celebrated and
widely disseminated interview with the
Admirals bride, in which she admitted
that her husband would run" for the
presidency, because she desired him to do
so, and being asked on what ticket, naive
" replied that it didn't really make any
difference which ticket "as he is Re
publican and 1 am a Democrat, and so it
is a stand off, you know"-Mr. Mclean is
credited with having declared that every
candidates female relative ought to be
made to wear muzzles, like the dogs Of
the District.
Tuesday, the President was entertained
in several unusual ways. At 10 a. m. 300
Knights Templar. of District of
Columbia, accompanied by their guests
from the Mary Commandery Of
Philadelphia, with their ladies, call
ed to pay their respects, and were
received in the East Parlor. Close
upon their departing heels came body
of ladies and children, headed by Mrs.
Isaac l.. Rice, wife of the president of the
Holland Torpedo Boat Company. She
brought her six olive branches, who
shoutingly rejoice in such juggling names
as Molly, Dolly, Polly, Loly etc, down
to the 5-year-old baby, who insists that
his name is Mr.. Thomas Rice, with the
accent strong on the Mister. The chill
dren sWarmed all over the President,
climbed on his chair sat in his lap, and
fired off voleys of questions at the rate
of thousand minute. while he, good
naturally wrote his autograph for each.
Then came a delegation of Indians, Sioux
and Ottawas with such unpronounceable
names as Kijigot, Hijiogobense, and Others
quite unspellable. One of them presented
to the Big Father a scarf pin, in the form
of an Indian canoe, and the President put
it on, to the delight of his grinning RED
Wards" Then came a concert by the
Indian band of the Carlisle School, to
which number of ladies' and gentlemen
had been invited to join the White House
family The young braves played remark
ably well, interspersing Hail to the
Chief" Star Spangled Banner" and 9TH
er familiar airs, with Indian pieces, full
of war whoops and wild cries. Then q
dusky Indian maiden, Zitkala Sa, recited
1.-The Famine" from Hiawatha, with such
effect that Mrs. Mckinley shed tears. AMI
others were seen TO wipe their eyes.
