To storm Society With Gold ToothplcI<. From the Minneapolis Journal

Thomas Aiken. whose delightful char acterization of MT. Stubbins in "Mrs. Wiggs of the Cabbage Patch' has won universal commendation, tells a story about a western mining man, who, hav- ing an enormous fortune in Nevada, made his first visit to New York where the wife of his bosom had determined to storm the portals of society. Aiken had once met the miner out west and seeing him in the hotel lobby went up and spoke to him. The examiner was delighted to see a fa- miliar face and in the conversation fol- lowing let fall a remark about having to go to an ultra-fashionable affair that night with his wife. Aiken said he also was to be a guest and was promptly in- vited to go with his western friend in his auto. After the party had fairly started the miner turned to his wife and said, Got on your diamond ti--a-, what do you call it?' My tiara? Yes, dear.' she responded. Three minutes later he asked. Got on that diamond bracelet 1 just got you?" "Yes, dear, here it is" Shortly after this, Got on that rope of pearls?' Sure" said she. "I would never over look those. About a minute after this the millionaire bounded from his seat with an exclamation of disgust Good ness! Henry, whatever is the matter?" asked his wife. Matter" he roared, Matter Why, I've forgotten my gold toothpick!" Z

Cargo Held at Mobile

Mobile, April 26-There was no further legal movement today in the injunction proceedings against the British steamer Meltonian by which the receivers of the bankrupt firm of Knight, Yancey & Co. seek to prevent the sailing of the vessel with 420o bales of cotton consigned to Havre, France. The fight by both sides will be a hard one. The bills of lading for the cotton have been forwarded to Havre, which makes the steamship com pany responsible for the delivery of the cotton to the consignees. The total value of the shipment Is s450. coo.
 The attorneys held & conference today and it was determined to file an answer to the bill of injunction on Friday. In the meantime the vessel is tied up and should sail on Wednesday but cannot do so now The steamship company, it Is stated, will move to increase the injunction bond as the vessel is under a demurrage of $500 per day.
 A motion for a writ of Seizure in con nection with the cotton on board the steamer Metonian, now being held through injunction, was argued this after noon in the United States court by at torneys representing the receivers for Knight, Yancey & Go. and the attorneys of the steamship company. Decision was reserved by the court

Washington, April 2e.-(special.)- Social activity in the capital Is wan ing. although ther congress or the Daughters of the American Revolution here this week was the cause for round of eayeties in which every set took part The wives of the Senators entertained for the various delegations from their states.
 Summer plans for the most part seem distant and hazy. This is ascribed to a reluctance of society to leave Wash ington, which is manifest more strong ly this year than usual. The nrst to make summer arrangements are the diplomats, for they are always anxious to obtain good quarters for their em- bassies or legations in the mountains or at the seashore near enough with Washington to be in constant touch with the state department. Newport has hitherto divided honors with Lenox and Manchester and now Bar Harbor has come to the front. Baron Rosen, the Russian ambassador, has elected to spend the summer months at Bar Har- bor. The German and Italian diplo- mats will be at Manchester. The Dan- ish minister and Countess Moltke Will be with the countess family, MT and Mrs. Nathaniel Thayer, until July, when they sail for Denmark.
 President and Mrs. Taft will again spend the summer at Beverley.
 lam told that President Taft will at tend the horse show which is to be re- yiyed next month at Potomac Park. Among the entrants I doubt if there is a more enthusiastic one than Miss Katherine Elkins, who Is an ardent horsewoman.
 The dedication of the new home of the Bureau of American Republics next week will be- quite a social affair. Mr John Barrett, the director, will be in his glory. Invitations have been is- sued quite extensively for the recep- ton, which will be rendered MT. and Mrs. Andrew Carnegie on Tuesday. President Taft has accepted an invita- ton to attend.
 MT. and Mrs. John Frederick Leech have announced the engagement of their daughter, Miss Katherine Olivia, to Lieutenant Thurston Hughes, Fish CTS Island, N Y. Lieutenant Hughes is a son of Dr. and Mrs. W. A. Hughes of Louisville, Ky, and brother or Pay master W. M Hughes of the United states navy. Navy circles are much in- terested in the coming event, which will take place in this city. A number of Louisville people will come on. After the marriage of Frederick w.

lee on the 18th, the couple will make their future home in New York. The ceremony will take place at St. .Albans church at noon next Thursday, and there will be a number of guests pres ent from New York, Philadelphia and Baltimore. Following the ceremony wedding breakfast will be held at the home of the brides mother Mrs. Harry Yates Satterlee. The bride-elect is a daughter of the late Bishop Satterlee.
 Miss La Lande of New Orleans has been the guest of MT. and Mrs. Phelps Enc for some time. They made several trips to New York and Philadelphia.
 The dance given by the Congression- al club on Wednesday evening was the first of a series of spring entertain ments. It was arranged especially for the younger set and was brilliant entertainment. Those who had charge of it were Mrs. Needham of California; Miss Hill of Connecticut, Miss Ruth Me Call, Miss Mattis, Miss May Grogg, Miss Ivy Moore, Miss Richardson of Ala bama, Miss Allinger of Pennsylvania and Miss Emma Gillespie of Texas.
 Mrs. Taft will give another series of garden parties like those which she gave last spring on the lawns of the White House and which proved such charming entertainments. The first party will be given on the afternoon of May 6. The dates of the others will be selected later. Three times last year there was a rain storm on the day selected by Mrs. Taft and the guests were entertained in the
 White House instead of upon the lawn. The atmosphere of strict formality which marks the state receptions and other events of the regular season are not in evidence at these parties and the Presi- dent and Mrs. Taft have opportunity for more than a word with their guests.
 From the attitude of Mrs. Taft and other social leaders and the clergy of Washington, 1t is quite likely, I believe, that a crusade of serious proportions is In store against cigarette smoking, drink ing and gaming among the society wom- en of Washington. For some time Mrs Taft has been frowning upon the in- roads of the continental Sunday in this city but the alarming growth of the cigarette habit amongst society women and the openness in which it is being indulged has aroused a great deal of cn- tagonistic feeling.
 For instance when a congressman from
 some rural district brings his family to Washington and his wife and daughters see women drinking and smoking with | calm complacence they think Washing | ton Is terribly wicked, that the city will | be destroyed with fire and flood before many more hours have elapsed. In this l connection a rather humorous incident happened recently. Miss Katherine Cam l ero- during a performance of the his tori nl tableaux which was attended by President Taft and others, suddenly ex-
 claimed in dismay: Tive lost kittons.' /"

English Creditors Will Fight

Liverpool. April 26.-The question of the responsibility for local losses incurred through the failure of the Alabama cotton firm of Knight, Yancey & Co. will lead it is expected to a deal of litigation with American banks.
 Liverpool cotton firms incline to the opinion that American exchange buyers were responsible for the acceptance of bills of ladng in England. because In many cases they acted as principals and not as agents The banks of Liverpool have refused to agree to the suggestion of the losing firms that they should dis honor the acceptance
