Miss Spaulding, the niece of Senator De-
pew, and Lieut. Edie. The latest reason
given for the disappointing interruption
TO what was to have proved a very inter
esting marriage, for the trousseau was
ordered from Paris and the Senator had
already given Miss Spaulding a house
end fine check as wedding gift is that
the Lieutenant, being trained to COM
mand, assumed TOO much and previous
authority in the Depew household. Miss
Spaulding is the senior of the lieutenant
by several years, and having presided
over the Depew home for a long time,
she was not inclined to accept gracefully
the suggestions of her fiance that she
should do thus and so in Washington.
Miss Spaulding believed that Washing
ton society is like that of New York, so
she refused 10 change her creed for that
of a young naval officer whose social ex
perience outside of Annapolis consists of
one Washington season, and the leading
of few cotilliOns. On dit, that the gay
Lieutenant was never as much in love
with his fiance as with the idea of gain
ing a footing in the Depew mansion, and
that his own downfall, or turn-down, is
due to having shown his cards too early
in the matrimonial game. Miss Spaulding
is not grieving. On the contrary, she Is
gayer than usual and the Corcoran house
trent there is continuous dining and
dancing.
Camera Fiends Shut Out.
Camera fiends are at present nursing
a grievance. They have expected always
to put themselves to the front whenever
a national event transpired. Hitherto
they have had few restrictions placed up
on their actions with the result that they
have behaved themselves outrageously.
Mrs. Mckinley has been stopped in her.
progress from the White House door to
that of her carriage by more than one
impertinent camera. When the remains
of the dead heroes of the Cuban war
were brought to Arlington for interment
with military honors, men and women with
cameras crowded 10 the front with such
persistency that they narrowly escaped
a fall into the open graves. No sense
of decency has restrained the camera
flend from crowding into all expected and
unexpected places. Last Inaugural ton the
police force was unable to cope with the
camera folk who darted under the ropes
and up to the President stand and pushed
a camera into the very face of the chief
magistrate, his venerable mother and sem
sitive wife. Wisdom has been acquired
by experience and this year no person
can use a camera without a special per-
NIT and a prearranged position for this
instrument.
College Boys to BE in Line.
One new feature of this years Inaugural
ton will be- the college representation.
Each important seat of learning sends a
good-sized delegation to take part in the
national demonstration. 1t is doubtful IL
this would have been so had not the
faculty of Georgetown University ar
ranged for a mammoth athletic meet and
contest that of Itself, would have round
ed up recruits from the various 'varsi-
ties. The trophies are stunning and the
college men will make a brave showing
with their streamers and colors, and their
recognized talent for agitative youthful
feminine hearts.
The Board of District Commissioners is
dancing around to man trying 10 pre-

the throngs assembled for Monday, II is
DESTROYS of reaping a harvest from Sun
day night performances. While there has
been concerts at theaters frequently, there
has never been a general opening of play
house doors on this day before. fight
to-the-finish is waging, and it is my pre-
diction that the result will be a general
opening OF the theaters, but a decided
toning down of the bill so that all perform
ances can, without a stretch of the inn
agination, be classified under the head of
sacred concert" The residents of wash
ington do not favor the Sunday night per-
formances, but there will be enough and
more out-of-town visitors to crowd seven
times seven places of amusement on the
evening preceding March 4.
