Counties Ksierlinzy- Will Summer at Doer Park Whereabout of I'roiiiiiieni Society Pooplo. Mrs. Lament after her Western trip wit! the Secretary of War went direct to her summer home on th cennpt of Maine, instead of accompanying Secretary Lament to this city, as was generally expected -would be thei-ase. She isno westabllshedat Sorrento with her family. Mrs. Lamunt's plans for the present sum mer have undergone numerous changes since the early spring, when they rirst began t. be formulated. At that time she had every expectation of going abroad with iter three young da lighters, and after plneingthc children at school in Paris, of impending the remainder of the summer traveling on the Continent. This plan was subsequently found to be impracticable, on account of some urgent of-, filial matters that demanded the close at tention of tin Secretary and required his presence in this country, required him, in fact, to be in Washington from time to time throughout the summer. It was, Uierefore. abandoned. As the Secretary's family is very fond of Sorrento, and to enjoy to the utmost the delights of cottage life at that resort, it w.is at oikv settled upon when the IJuni pean trip had to be abandoned. Mrs. La iu.au kjihm ito have theoitiagenttr.ii'tivu ami homehkedurmg the period in which she ami tier family are there for thesummer sea son, and. therefore, nieh year are taken numerous large packing boxes and chests o. iKoji-HioiU belongings with winch to adorn tin -ottage. The broad piazza overlooking French man r lui;. allon.-s abuutiaiii opportunity for the giving of informal afternoon tens. On J-u-h occasions Mrs. Lamout not only serves the tea to her guts, but prepares it in their presence by means of a lime spirit lamp. On a small round table during the .-ommer is always to be lound a daintily set tea tatil at which the lashionable iirink can be prepared at a moment's notice. For the most part Mrs. Lnmont's guest? arrive by the midday boat from liar Harbor, and an not infrequently invited to remain over long enough to enjoy luncheon' with her. This season an added pleasure for Secretary and Mrs. Lament will Ixj the presence of Mr. Whitney at Bar Harbor. When Mr. Whitney elects to go over to Sorrento, which is quite frequently, he, as a rule, prefers, instead or making the trip in the regular little steamer plying between the two resorts, to sail over in bis own boat. Botli Mr. Whitney and his two sons are good sailors and understand thoroughly the management of sailboats, ami not infrequently entertain their Bar Harbur friends by taking them out Tor a sail on Frenchman's Bay, with the round up of a luncheon or dinner at Sorrento. At owe time Mr. "Whitney had every m temkMi of building a summer home at Sor rento, and had even gone to the extent of having the plans drawn for that purpose. This was given up on account of the ill health of his wile at that time, and since her death Mr. Whitney has not taken sufficient interest in social doings to cart to identify lumsolf with any sin-cial resort. His greatest comfort seems to have been in traveling abroad and keeping as far away as possible from the places with which memories of his wire were connected. .His presence at Bar Harlior for the present summer is in the nature of a surprise, a most welcome one to his friends, as the last time he was there it was with his wife, and at that time their lavish enter tainments led the gay summer colony at that favored resort on the Maine coast. Mr. John Cuf.mbcrlin has port. jone to Xew- Mrs. Mitetead will leave the city in a few "days to spend the summer at Atlantic City.

Jr., son ofex-Governor Carroll, who Is so well known in Washington and Baltimore society. The Carroll family had arranged for a gay season at Newport, where Mr. Carroll's yacht Xavahoe was to have been entered for the season's races. The afflictiou into which the family is suddenly plunged on account of thodeathof Mr. JohnLec Carroll, jr., willalter all of these plans. Any change in the personnel of the diplo matic corps is always of course a matter of special interest in Washington and on tbat account whenever a new ambassador, minister orsccretary of legation isaccredited to this city all that can be learned of him is lead and talked of with avidity.

Bryan is" the Kime genial gentleman as or yore, and he possesses the same Inexhaustible fund of humor and good sense as when he was a member of the newspaper correspondent corps in Washington. All or his energy and zeal is now being expended in making the Times one of the leading papers o the South. "I am not orf ona vacation," he said last evening. " but am just returning from a Jaunt to Xew iTork, in order to see my three boys off on tfier European trip. You have a fine paper here. Its success, according to my mind, is due as largely to its name as to the merltor the paper. When the Richmond Times was Urst started its founder called it the Times because, as he said, there never was a paper or that name which was not a success. Pardon me ir I put the Richmond Times first in a list of notable Times, but others are the Loudon Times, the New l'ork Times, and the Washington Times, ull or them grand and glorious papers, ir you want a story just drop around to see Harvey Wilson, our Washington correspondent, and anything that he tells you, I will stand for." "In a small town in Kentucky where I fre quently went on business," said Mr. Xed. A. Archer, or Louisville, at the Ebbitc House, last night, "there lived u lawyer possessed of a goodly supply of worldly things aud an enormous appetite for that liquid product for which my State is fa mous. "Ho had occupied several positions of trust in his county, and when not on a spree was a very intelligent and amiable man, but when drinking ho was tho reverse. At last a friend of his docided to make some extraordinary effort to break him of the habit which was ruining his health and prospects. Be laid his plans, and when the lawyer was next found dead drunk he had him conveyed to his house, and when there he placed him within an empty coffin in a darkned room and waited for him to awalw. "Disappointment was In store for him. In du time the lawyerawoke, and ina voice husky and low, he said. 'Where am I at?' " 'You are in Hades,' replied the friend in sepulchral tones. 'You have been here four days.' " -How long have you been here?" asked tho husky voice. .. fIVq days.' " 'Well,' and the voice was huskier than ever, 'I guess yaw know the place better than I do. Where can we get a drink'." " "I heard a good story in New York the other day on a" well-know u cattleman from my State," said Mr. Arthur B. Travis, of Helena, Mont., at the National last night. "His name for the present will be Jones, as his real cognomen is too lamiliar to the reading public to admit or my telling a story on him. "Jones shipped a large herd of steers East, accompanying them himself, and arter he had disposed of them profitably ho proceeded to New York to look over things. He is, as a rule, a pretty keen Westerner, aud can take his place with the best, of them pretty much all the timo, but when he starts in to Fhutlle the pasteboards he loses his trail, fo to 'peak. f "As luck would have it, Jones, leaded down with boodle, and naturally lookin' for something stirring, struck a faro bank before he'd been in town two hours, and right there he began loshcd liisshi-kels. He btayed in the game till he went broke, and then he strolled rorth. As hp got outside he noticed that it was a l tout closing time and the neighborhood was very dark. "He K-gan to fool lonesome without any money, o an idea struck him. He walked u short dbtance rrom the door and waited for the proprietor of the gambling-house to come out. Pretty soon that suave gentle man hove In sight, aud as he got up to Jones the latter drew a' long, mean look ing knife from his bootleg, and said: 'Say, stranger, lend' mo $10. 1 want to go to the theater." "The gambler looked at Jones and seeing that he was the cattleman who had dropped his dough, he ran his hand Into hispocket, pulled out $20 , and handed it to Jones, say ing: "'Certainly; here's two of them, you might want to go again to-morrow night.' " There is n young lady living with her parents not far from the Arlington, who has not a very high opinion of the veracity or the clerks of the hotel. Some time ago when the famous Brooklyn divine , T. De WTitt Talmage, was a guest at the famous hostelry, the maiden who figures in the story, being an autograph fiend, in ac cordance with her usual custom, brought her album around to the boys at the desk to present to the noted pulpit orator for his signature. As Dr. Talmage came up from the break fast table, Manager Frank Bennett, who had been told of the album, and who is al ways ready to oblige, explained what was wanted and forthwith "With best wishes lor your fnrture happine-s, T. DeWitt Tal mage, Washington, D. C," was inscribed in the familiar hand on a page. The book was thrown upon theshelf ,aud the manager for once in his lire Torgot to remind his aides of what he had done. In an hour or so Morgan Ross, seeing the preacher strolling around the office, called him and the doctor again wrote "With best wishes, etc.," on another leaf. Clerk Burney late in the afternoon sud denly thought of the album and while the others were busy with the books, secured in a few seconds, another signature and the stereotyped expression. So the day wore on and Clerk Johnny Breast, the hand somest of them all. ever willing to serve the fair sex, ended the affair by obtaining the desired autograph for the fourth time. The next day Miss M called for the book and stopped to chat for a while, as most ladies do. with the good-looking, po lite fellows who preside over the Arling ton's register, aud Mr. Bennett., who she met first, said in his most beaming smile that he had secured tho autograph and was warmly thanked for his pains. Mr. Ross meandered up, and looking over the man ager's shoulder stated to the astonishment or both Mr. Bennett and the young lady that he was glad to have been of service in getting the signature. Nothing was said butall wondered at the silence. Before long Burney stopped to say a word and, of courso, he stated whathehad done, and expected a word of praise. The atmosphere grew thick. Mr. Breast finally drew near, carefully dusting his hands to got rid of the speck of dirt that he thought might have come from the faultlessly clean ledger. He told a straight tale. This was ! l much and each stood looking at tho ; tongntttout.whllesheslolcsweetiyaway. To a man, each swore that he had gotten the signature and that? his brethren were liars. An open rupture did not take place, but there was a slight coolness uoticeablo around tho place for several days, until Bweet-scentcd notes arrived from the girl, thanking oacli one for .the signnturo which he had obtained, and withher woman's wit offering a solution of the trouble. Then peace aud prosperity was once more restored in tho Arlington's happy family. "The alacrity," said A. D. Parker, of Spokane, Wash., to a crowd of commercial travelers at the Raleigh last evening, ','with which the heathen Chinese catches onto and adopts the tricks, and sharp practices of modern trade, Jsama'zltig. As you all know , I am at the head of a firm that deals extensively with the Mongolians on tho Pacific coast. We used to ship several cases of merchandise each month to a fellow bythcnameofSamGeo. Somehow or other tho goods sent him were, upon receipt, aiways reported short and allowance had to be made for the missing articles. "This thing continued for some time until finally thcamouutvhlc'i wehadlostthrough t he reported alleged non-receipt, of goods by Sam Gee was about $500. Then I grew tired. The stock-clerk who was to put up the next order, the shipping clerk and tho draymen were given notice that if the next order did not reach Sam all right they would be discharged. The goods were selected, packed and an itemized bill sent to the Chinaman. In a few days a curiously writ ton lett er from Gee was received .stating that about $50 worth of merchandise was missing. Thethreemenweregivena wcek!s notice and the shortage allowed for in Gee's account. " 'Sam says he recevicd the cases, did ho not? inquired the stock-clerk. " 'Yes, I replied, giving him the letter to decipher, and also the bill. " 'The lying rascal took the bill Im mediately upon receiving it from the mail, and without looking at the cases made claim Tor shortage.' said lie. " 'How can you prove it?' I asked. ' 'His goods are in those three cases in the corner, and have never been sent out of-the store.' " "I have been enjoying a three weeks' va cation in the mountainous regions of West Virginia." John B. Milliken, of Pitts burg, a healthy-looking gentleman or about rive and forty was the speaker, at the Na tional yesterday. "While at a little place between Pocohontas and Falls Mills I dis covered a cute trick, by means of which moonshine could be obtained. On the quiet the tip was given me that for a dollar I could learn the ropes. The money was forthwith hauded over to a greasy, de crepit individual, in the last stages of alco holism. According to directions. I posted myself on the road about a mile from town, between 2 and .' o'clock. "Pretty soon there stumbled up the hill a man who was bent beneath the weight of two large hampers which were at tached to the ends or a stout stick stretched across his shoulders. As before directed, I deposited a quarter In the road and turning my, back, walked off apiece. In a few minutes the peddler passed me. Then I turned back and found a half pint bottle of mountain dew, but the quarter gone,-and no one was the wicr as to where it came from. Before I left, however, the peddler became frightened and ceased to make his daily tripa." CRUISERS TO ASSEMBLE. Admiral Bunco Will Begin TIIr Crulso and Mnneuvorn August O. The vessels of the North Atlantic station will assemble at Newport, R. I., not Inter than August 3, when it is expected that Admiral Bunce will liegin his cruise and maneuvers. All the vessels whicli have been assigned to take out the naval militia, with the ex ception of tho Amphitrite, have liecn ordered to return in time to reach New port by August 3. Tho Atlanta has arrived at Key West and is in quarantine. It is now a question whether she can be got ready in time to participate in the maneuvers. She will have to remain in quarantine several days, and then if it l)e found necessary to dock her she will not be ready by the time tho squadron sails. The Raleiirh, also at Key West, is under orders to proceed north at once, and will take out a portion of the naval militia. She is expected to reach Boston in time to take the Massachusetts naval militia to sen, but if sho does not. the Cincinnati will Ikj assigned to that duty. Admiral Bunce does not like the Idea of having his flagship taken away for use of the naval militia before the New York arrives. The Cushmg is under orders to cruise with the New York militia off Gardiner's Bay. Some wonder has been expressed that nothing has been heard from the Colum bia, and the impression prevails that not withstanding the denials at the depart ment of her serious injury, her experience in dry dock has resulted in severe damage. Capt. Sumner has been asked why he has not sailed, and a cable is cxjiected an nouncing her departure. It was stated at the department to-day that a mail report had been received from Capt. Sumner saying that the damages as the result of the docking were even less than reported by telegraph. The anxiety about the Columbia is due to the fact that the department wants her to arrive in time to tie docked or to undergo eui-ii other repairs as may be found neces sary before she joins the squadron at Newport. I1EH SERVICES REMEMBERD. Mrs. Emma Fnesclio Presented "With n Testimonial. The esteem and respect in which Mrs. Emma Poeschc, ex-president of the Ladies' Sewing Society of the German Orphan Asylum, District of Columbia, by her former co-workers was evidenced yesterday by the officers and members of that society by the presentation of a handsomely framed testimonial, expressing their high apprecia tion of her services.

In accepting the testimonial Mrs. Poeschc said that in the future as in the past tho best interests oi the German orphan asylum would always be her first thought, and although no executive officer of the so ciety, she would always be anything which would best advance its interests. The testimonial is a masterpiece of pen manship and is the work of Mr. Remboldt Springguth. It is in colors and is in scribed: "The ladies' sewing society of the German Orphan Asylum of the Dis trict or Columbia, to the Hon. ex-President Mrs. Emma Poesche, as a friendly remembrance and expression of recogni tion and gratitude for her long, untiring and faithful activity as the presiding offi cer or the society, and her zealous work and love and sympathy for the children whom Tate had robbed of parents and home." Attached are the signatures of the pres ident, Mrs. Marie De Grain, Secretary Mrs. Bertha Caron, and the members of the cxeeutivo committee, Mesdames Sarah Benheud.
