FAMOUS BALL ALL A MYTH.
Mrs. sartoris Says 1T Never Did
Take Place

Mrs. Sartoris, who was Miss Nellie
Grant. is visiting her mother. Mrs. Julia
Dent Grant, the widow of ULYSSES s.
Grant. at the Grant residence, Pill Massa-
chusetts Avenue. She was much amused
Yesterday at a story, widely printed in
the newspapers, relating. n connection
with the ball given Miss Re segeIt at the
White House that in 1873 a similar affair
was given Miss Grant at the time she was
introduced to society.
Mrs. Sartoris has no recollection of the
ball of 1873. in spite OF the fact that It
was said to have been given in her honor.
and was an affair the bFiIiiancy OF which
is said to have been such as to make
deep imprint upon the memory
There was no such bali" said Mrs.
Sartoris yesterday afternoon. She was
not able to name the date of it's occur
renee. although she searched her recollec-
ton diligently
No; l don't remember that any such
ball occurred at the White House." she
continued. 1T must be a mistake"
Later the mistake became more evident.
Many cager-eyed reporters visited the
Grant home, intent upon obtaining all the
details OF the famous ball. They repre-
sented New York, Chicago. and Philadel-
phia papers
The butler grew tired of answering the
sound OF the doorbell. while Mrs Sar-
toris and her mother could scarcely find
time for luncheon.
1T is very amusing" said Mrs. Sar-
tOris, but l don't remember about the
ball"
The great social event in Washington
during President Grants Administration
was the marriage of Miss Nellie Grant,
which occurred at the White House.

His father contended that he was boz 4
in August. 1882. and, therefore. was only
nineteen years old. and that his enlist
ment without the consent of his parents
was not permissible under the law
Assistant United States Attorney
Thompson said that when he enlisted
Smith swore that he was born in 1879.
Judge Stevenson said that in abe absence
of positive evidence to the contrar', ne
would have to accept the word of wit
ncsses for Smith. and would, therefore,
grant the petition of release.
Moral Eject Had.
Mr.. Thompson said that the Govern
ment would carry the case to the higher
court. as the moral effect of such de-
cision will injure the military and nava!
services. because other young men not
satisfied with the conditions of life in the
army and navy may seek release on the
plea that when they enlisted they were
not of age.
