The present bride of the diplomatic
corps. pending the marriage of the
Russian attache next month, is Mrs.
Sidney Waterlow, wife of one of the
British secretaries. She was married
about the middle of November, and her
wedding trip was to cross the ocean
to her husbands field of labor. Mr..
Waterlow is also almost a stranger
here, having arrived only last spring
and returning to England early in the
autumn. His wife was Miss Alice Pal
lok. daughter of Sir Frederick and
Lady PalIok. She is a very attractive
and accomplished young woman. Her
brother will shortly come to this coun-
try to take law course at Harvard.
The engagement is announced of
Miss Edith Newlands, eldest daughter
of Representative Francis Newlands
of Nevada, to Mr.. Charles tombstone,
son of the late DR.. w. w. tombstone
of this city. The date for the wedding
has not yet been decided upon, but
it is expected that it will be an event
of the early summer. Miss Newlands
is very charming young lady and ex-
tremely popular in official society. She
and her sister are among the great
heiresses of the country, who will in
herit large slice of the Sharon mil
lions. 1t will be remembered that Mr.
Newlands' first wife was the Oldest
daughter of Senator Sharon. of Cali
fornia, the other daughter, Flora, be-
ing now Lady Keskith, with a beauti-
full estate in England and a growing
family of boys and girls. When Mr.
Newlands' came accounting Miss Shar-
on, in the very hey-day of her fathers
good fortune. he was an humble clerk
on small salary. His was eminently
the romance of poor young man."
Papa Sharon, with all his peculiarities,
was at heart a kindly gentleman-re-
membering what it was to have been a
poor young man himself, he put no
straw of objection in the way of the
young lovers. Instead, he encouraged
Mr.. Newlands' suit, recognizing the
latent power in the young clerk, and
gave his daughter wedding present
of $1,000,000. Senator Sharon was then
widower, and the afterwards famous

Speaking of California-the land of
big fruits, big trees and big stories
reminds me of a tale that Representa-
tive Kahn is fond of telling. This pop
ular member from the Golden Gate is
anxious to have Congress take some
action which will preserve those mar
wells of forestry, the big trees of Call
ifornia. He believes that a national
park should be established to include
the forest where the trees stand. and
that they should be looked after and
cared for as among the wonders of the
world Mr.. Kahn's story of the dis
covery of the marvellous grove is as
follows: In the early days of '49,
hunter wandered from the usual trail
and by accident came upon these
giants of the forest. He gazed upon
them with amazement and for a time
could scarcely believe his own sanely.
sober existence. Finally he retraced
his steps, blazing the way so as to find
1t again, and returned to the settle
ment. Knowing that it was no use to
tell the by no means credulouS miners
that he had seen trees 300 feet high
and 100 feet in circumference-for they
would never believe him and might do
him bodily damage as too faced
an Ananias who insulted their intelli-
gence-he invented a yarn about a gil
gantic bear be had killed, which would
require five or six men to bring to
camp. Bears meat was at a premium
just then and several hungry miners
eagerly volunteered to assist. When
they got back to the magnificent
grove, the hunter pointed to the colos-
sal trees and then explained why he
had deceived his companions. Says
Mr.. Kahn, eff those trees had not
been the magnificent, awe-inspiring
things they are, it might have gone
hard with our friend. the hunter"

Washington. Jan. "a New York
newspaper correspondent in Paris had
an interview the other day with Lady
Yu, the American wife of the Chinese
Ambassador at Paris. With the Gus
tomary modesty of the New York cor
respondent he asked her point blank
If her daughter, Miss Nellie Yu, was
going to marry the newly appointed
Chinese minister to this country, Sir
LANG Chen, a rumor of which has
been asserted and denied so many
times within the last few weeks. Lady
Yu admitted the truth of the asser-
ton, but said that for various rea-
sons the engagement was not to be
officially announced until next spring,
or later; and meanwhile the family
were endeavoring to keep it out of
print. The Yus have two daughters,
Miss Lizzie, the eldest, and Nelly, who
will be Lady LANG Chen, some time
or other. At present both the young
ladies are in China, where they went
with their father, the Chinese am
bassadOr to Paris, whose health re-
quired sojourn in his native land.
The Yus and the Liangs have been in
innate friends from away back, and
the children of the two families liter
ally grew up together. Then, with
Sir Yus appointment to Paris. they
lost sight of one another until last
summer when they met in London at
the coronation festivities. The girls,
of mixed Chinese and American blood,
are said to be very pretty, with al
mond eyes. only slightly on the bias,
and the yellow skin of the Monaghan
tempered with the pink and cream
tints of the Anglo-Saxon. Miss Nelly
Yu, particularly, is thoroughly Pari-
sian in her dress and temperament,
but loves best ESQ she says her
mothers country, and especially Bos-
ton, where Lady Yu was born, and
where her future husband was edu-
Gated. The coming to Washington of
a new minister is always considered a
matter of great social Importance;
and doubly so in this instance, when
Sir LANG Chen is to take the place
of that popular diplomat, the depart
ed WI Ting Fang. When he takes
himself a young wife who is half
American, and who will doubtless
take kindly to American ways as a
result of her European education and
training, we shall be in measure
consoled for the loss of that pic
turesque and dainty little person,
