Tho constant nnd apparonUy-incurable ton
doncyof Washington hotel nnd boarding-house
koepers to adopt English names for thoir bos
tolrioe makos tho average Amorican vory much
fatiguod. It novor soeras to occur to any of
thorn what a woaltk of ouphonious Amorican
names wo have which woHld look particularly
well on a sign and a lottor-hoad. Infatoad, they
follow the fashion sot by the or-butlors of the
English aristocracy in Now York, and dub
thoir plaoes with some hackneyod English title.
Tho loading betels of the city, it is true, still
woar tho nanios givou before tho Anglomaniac
fashion sot in. The bistoric Willards' bears
the name of tho Yaakoe brothers who were the
loading Bonifacos "afe an' oudu'in' de war."
Tlio National and Metropolitan, though they
havo lost much of their old-timo glory, are still
tho favorito stopping-places for a large mass of
visitors, particularly those from tho South.
Tho Ebhitt, owned by one of tho Willards,
oaters particularly te the Army and Navj ous
torn. Worwley's, bearing the namo of tho
shrewd eld mulatto, and admirable catoror of
whom Chas. Sumner and othor Now England
mon wore so fond, has its own poculiar d'tmitlt.
Thc'Arlington, though an English namo of ovil
reputation, has beeome thoroughly American
iaed. and Kivon need associations. After yon
loavo these you oneountor a noarly-unonding
ueoeesion of worn-out English names, like the
Windsor, the Baekingham, the Biohmond, the
Strathmora, the Albion, the Ciarondon, the
Dunbsrton, the St, Jamos, tho Portland, tho
Auburn, ntc. Yioe-Prosidoat Morton namnd
his hotel tho Sberebain, which has an English
sound, but is redeemed by being the name of
tho Vermont village ia which the propriotor
was born. La Xortnandio is French, and the
Arno Italian, which is a grateful variation
from tho hackneyed English, but purely
Amorican names would have been much more
attractivo for those fmo hotels. We should
ocrUiniy see purely National namos in the
National Capital, and anything olse is an
offense to geod taste.
I have beon muck intorestod in tho mortuary
irtHtistics of this cky, whioh constantly Hkow a
deeth rate among tho negroes of about 32 per
1,000, while that of the whltos is only about 16,
or one-half of the ratio. This keemed to con
firm a theory hold by many that Washington
is north ef the limit in which negroes can live
und thrive, and that the mco would dio out
bore were it not for constant immigration from
the South. I interviewed Mr. W. B. Moore, the
Statistician of tke Health Department, on tho
subject, and be denied tke soundness of the
Utoery.
" It is not tme,M ke said. " While the nogro
is a trupioal product, ke yet shews as great ca
pacity foe adapting himself to changed condi
tions, and thrives suite ns well as we in North
ern latitudes. I have lived in the North the
most ef my life, and In tits neighborhood of
negroes deaeondod from thohe living there whon
slavery existed in that section, as well as those
who had been brought from Kentucky to Ohio,
whan that State was a Territory. They weath
ered along quit as well as the whites in the
same condition of life, and there were as many
old mm and wotnou among tbwa."
" Rut bow de you account for the groat dis
crepancy between doath-ratos in this city? "
M There are two reasons. The first Se that
tho nugroes form tits poorer classes, and tke
death-rate is always greater among the poor
than tits well-to-do. But the birth rale is also
much higher. YVe assume the population of
the eky to he 250,000, ef which 170,000 are
white and 60,000 oulorod. The births last year
wore 4,078, of which t,t4f wore white and
1,624 colored. This would shew about one
birth to ovory 75 white people, and one to
every 44 colored. Tho great mortality among
the negroes is in infancy. Fully M pur cent.
ef the deaths among them are of obi id r on of
five years and under, and 08 per cent, of this
number are one year old and younger."
" What m the roason of this V "
' Chiefly unsanitary surroundings and lack
of care. One lending rauso of mortality is
1 that, like many while mothers, tho negro
women are disinc'iued to nurse their childron,
and m provide the nourishment that Nature
intended. Instead, they feed them milk, got
at the groceries and elsewhere, and frequently
oondeusod milk, which is very apt to be im
pure, and never as well JlUod for tho nourish
ment of a baby as the mltk from Its mother's
brown. Many white moth or s kill thoir infants
by dairy and os-udensod milk, but, as a rule,
tho Whilo peo)de got a better Article of milk
than the poor nogroes."

Tho nogroos do not soem to have any tendency

Washington gossips havo devoted much at
tontion. to the Schofiold-Ivilbourno wedding.
Tho general comment is
vory fuvorablo to both
ixirtios. Thcbrido.Mias
Georgia Kilboumo,
is a groat favorite with
nil who know her. She
comoaof a good family,
is notable for bright
ness and sweetness of
disposition, is a petite
blonde, just good-look,
ing enough to escape
boing culled hnndsomo,
and is a fino violinist.
She first became ac-
Mrs. Gen. Schofikld. qUaiutcd with tho Gen
oral's family 13 years ago, when a child of 13.
Miss Schofiold, now Mrs. Andrews, and alio bo
camo fast friend 3, and sho was a bridesmaid
whon tho latter was married. Tho late Mrs.
Schoficld took a warm interest in her, and sho
xnado long visits to tho family when it was liv
ing on Governor's Island. Mrs. Andrews says
that since marriage is necessary to her
father's happiness, she would prefer Miss
Kilboumo to any other woman in tho world.
The wedding took place in tho 'Episcopal
Church at Keokuk last Tuesday in tho presence
of a crowd which filled tho church. Gen. Scho
fiold and tho members of his staff who accom
paniod him to tho altnr were in full uniform.
Aftor tho wedding there was a reception at the
Hotel Keokuk, managed by Terronco Post,

Liont. Ponry has finally started on his expe
dition, and oxpocts to got to his Wiutor station
on Whale Bay oarly in July. There ho and his
sevon associates will build Wiutor quarters, and
occupy tbomsolvcs in making 6lodgos, snow
shoos, and othor equipments, and in establishing
an advauco dopot near Humboldt Glacior. As
6oon as Spring opons ho, with four others, will
push out with tho slodgos over Humboldt Gla
cior and establish a socond dopot noar tho old
Wintor quartors of Capt Hall, on Polaris Bay,
and opposite Grocly's station. Hero tho party
will divido, and while Peary and a companion
will push on, in snow-shoos, tho other three
will roturn to Whalo Bay. Lieut, Poary ex
pects to reach the northorn coast of Green
laud noxt year nnd establish tho fact that
it is an island, and also to gain tho credit of
reaching a point ticaror tho North Polo than
any preceding explorer. Opinion rs to his sne
coss is not unanimous Jioro among thoso familiar
with Arctic explorations. Thoy agree that
Liout. Poary is an cxccllout man for the work
that ho has undortakon, but sorao of thorn doubt
vory strongly whether ho has taken tho best
meaus and route to extend our knowledge of
that region. Two men is felt to bo ontirely too
small a number to cxposo to tho chances of such
a trip, and snow-shoes too uncertain a method
of travel. They aro all vory well whon there
is nothing but plains of snow and ico to trav
orso, but there may bo stroams and straits
which he can not get around. However, vre
shall hope for the best Lieut. Peary's pluck
dosorves a substantial rovrard.
Col. Robert, the Engineer Commissioner,
with that cheerful confidoncoinhimsolf which
is one of his prominent characteristics, is op
posed to police trials, which, ho thinks, rarely
arrive at the truth. Instead, ho substitutes an
examination by himsolf, with no apponl from
his decision. I havo soon men bcfoio who felt
just as infallible.

POLITICAL NOTES.
Z Gon. Low Wallace deniua utterly that ho is a
caudidate for the Republican nomination for
Governor of Indiana.
Thoro was a notable galhoring of Ropublican
politicians in Indiaunpolis last weak, tnado up
of mon who aro opposed to Prosidont Harrison's
ronominntion. Col. A. L. Conger, of Ohio, was
elected Chairman, and on taking tho chair ho
said that ho was satisfied that Mr. Blaino uould
he nominate), and if nominated ho would ac
cept. The meeting determined to organize
Ohio, Kentucky, Illinois, Indiana, and Michi
gan for BIuiuc,.Tiid committees wore appointed
to conduct the work in each of thoso Status.
Seuator Wolcott, of Colorado, says that he
finds but one sontitnont all over the country,
and that is tbut "we have had Hurrison for
four years, aiid that is four years too much.
Everybody instinctively turns to Blaine."
The Kansas Alliance aro not at all pleased
with tho firmuuss with which tho Southern
Alliances stick to the Domocrntic party, and
refuse to outer tho new pnrty. Thoy aro, there
fore, notifying their Southern brethren that
thoy will return to their old political affilia
tions. Tho Veterans in the State havo long
been quite restive under the domination that
the ox-rebels havo assumed over tho Alliance.
ABOUT PEOPLE.
Senator Reagan's resignation from tho Senate
recallb the incident which led him to sottlu in
tho Lono Star State. He went to a mill one
day in Tennessee, where lie was born, with a
grist to bo ground, and waited in line for hit
turn. Whon it oomo, ho was rudely addressed
by a man who proposed to step in ahead of him;
the man also threatening to tlnow him from tho
window if he did not yield. Tho whole neigh
borhood wore afraid of this man, and Mr. Rea
gan, in feai of his life, rushed for him, butted
him in the stomach with his head, lifted him
from his foot and throw him out a window.
When the dosper&do disappeared, tlio cones
quence of his act flashed upon young Reagan's
mind. Ho instantly supioed that ho had
killed a man, that he would bo hanged for it,
aud, scared almost to death, he rtuhed down
stairs, uuhitchod his horse, aud lit out across
the country for Texas. The man was not killed,
but get a good shaking-up. Ho soon moved to
Texas, and was a friond to Rongan in after life.
It seems that Gen. Schoficld lias heon almost
as gallant a campaigner in tho drawing-room
as he was on tho battlefield. Tiio announce
mout of his engagement to Miss Kilbourne re
calls the fact that the gotibipa had him engaged
to Mrs. Kilpatrick, widow of the dashing Cav
alry General, no later than a yoar ago. and it is
said that a ptetty Washington girl still wcura n
handsome ring that was given nor sometime
ago by the Coiiiuisuder-iuChief of the Army
as a pledge of affection.

Maj. George W. Steele, 101st Ind., Governor
of Oklahoma Territory, has gone to his old

represented the Eleventh Indiana District in
Congress for several terms, and is a popular and
well-known politician in tho Hoosier State.
Although his visit is ostensibly to inspect sev
eral Soldiers' Homes in his ofilciaUcapacity as
ono of tho Ikmrd of Managers, lio gossips are
trying to make him Pension Commissioner, to
succeed Gou. Eaura (who has no intention of
resigning), Republican caudidato for Governor
of Indiana, or something, of that sort.
THE PRESIDENT INVITED TO RA
LEIGH. A dologalion of nearly 100 gontloraon, many
of them prominent in both local and National
affairs, waited on President Harrison ono day
last week and invited him and his family to
visit the Southern Interstate Exposition, to bo
held at Raloigh, N. C, in October and Novem
ber next. The delegation was hcadod by Son
ator Ransom, of North Carolina, who told the
Prosidont that tills delegation contained a
larger number of North Carolinians than any
delegation that ever camo to Washington on a
similar errand. The President was presented
with a handsomo invitation, made of Southern
pi no, in tho form of a book, the inside of which
contained snmplesof North Carolina's products,
including leaf tobacco, cotton, mica, otc, upon
which was inscribed tho following:
The citizens of tho Southern section of the Union
eetid an cnrtiest invitation to lienjntnln Hnrrison,
President of tho United States, nnd Cabinet, to
visit them nt the CnpHftl city of "the Old North
Slnlc," RnleiRh, N. C. during the Southern Expo
Hilinn. in Oitobcr nnd Xovonibor, 1891.
Tho Prosidont roplied that ho appreciated the
cordial invitation, and felt that it ought to re
ccivo serious consideration, and knew that he
would bo cordially received; bat that ho could
not make auy promise; that October and No
vember would be very busy mouths with him
because of tho approach of Congress, and he
would thorcforo be obliged to leave tho matter
opon, but would keep tho invitation in mind,
and soo if ho could accopt it when tho time
camo.
CAPT. WIDDIGOMB KILLED.
Capt. Roliort S. Widdicomb, Manager of tho
Washington agency of the Pabst Brewing Co.,
formerly Chief of the Foreign MaiI-3 Division
of tho Postoilico Department, was killed in
Washington on Friduy ovcuiug, Juno 12, by
tho running away of his horjo. Tho Captain
was driving a young horso, which had been left
standing tho day before tho accident, nnd bad
rim away, wrecking an expensive carriage and
his friundshad tried to dissuade him from Using
tho fractious animal, to no purpose, tho Cap
tain remarking that ho was not afraid of the
horse, null would take somo of tho stiffening
out of him. Near the corner of Seventh and
G streets tho horse became frightened and ran.
At tho corner of Seventh street he collided with
a furnitnro van with such force as to throw
tho Cnptaiu headlong from the carriage against
a cablo car which was at that moment stopping
nt tho corner to take up passengers. Tho Cap
tain's head struck thistcp of tho car with great
forco, and ho fell on the cobblestones, covered
with blood. Tho fall against the stop hod,
hoitidcs almost completely scalping the
Captain, fractured his skull, broko throe ribs
nnd his thigh near the hip, and causing
intornal injuries. Tho scalp was torn com
pletely from half his head, and tho haro skull,
with a holo of considerablosize crushed through
it, was oxposed. Ho was taken to tho Emer
gency Hospital, and from there to Providence
Hospital, and, whilo an operation was boing
porformed on his sknil, died.
Capt. Widdicomb served in tho 23th Mo., M
First Lieutenant, being brovettcd Captain for

ARMY AND NAVY.
Rear-Admiral D. B. narmony haa been
authorized to hoist hia flag on the Lancaster
on tho 23d of Juno, and ordered to proceed to
the Asiatic Station and relievo Rear-Admiral
Goorgo E. Belknap of the command of that
Station.
Orden havo been issued by tho War Depart
ment directing tho abandonment of Fort
Abraham Lincoln, N. D., and this order is a
source of sorrow to tho town of Mandan, as
about $40,000 per annum dronped into the
coffers of tho people of that place from the
trade of tho troops. The fort has served ih
usefulness, but whenever tho soldior of 1S76
posses by its toppled chimnoys and decaying
timbers he will romember that it wa3 from the
sito of thoso ruins that Custer aud his little
band marched upon their last long scout. leav
ing behind them forever their wivos and chil
dren. Tho new 52-ton steol breech-loading gun re
cently completed at the Watorvliot Arsonal,
Troy, N. Y., was landed at Sandy Hook on
Thursday, Juno 11. It 13 tho largest cannon
over made in this country; Is 36J feet Ion?,
boro 34 feet, and will stand a charge of '410
pounds of powdor. It will be removed to the
testing-grounds on a special rail laid for the
purposo. It is said tho gun will throw a pro

Tho court-martial in the case of Liout.
Commander W. H. Lyon, TJ. S. Navy, who was
tried for negligenco in stranding the tug
Triana at tho timo of the Galena disaster,
found him not guilty. Tho fact that ho had
taken tho tug to tho assistnnco of tho Galena
whon that vessel was in peril, although the
Triana went oshoro, operated in Lieut-Commander
Lyon'a favor with tho Court.
Tho United States cruiser Charleston left
Iquique, Chile, on Saturday, June 13, for San
Francisco, accompanied by the insurgent
Chilean transport Itata with tho arms and mu
nitions of war that sho took from San Diego,
Cal., sevoral woeks ago.
A sonsation was created in Naval circles in
San Francisco last week whon it was learned
that a largo amount of dutiable goods was
seized on tho United States men-of-war Omaha
and Swatara on their arrival at Snn Francisco.
It i3 the custom for tho commanding officer of
war ships coming from foreign ports to submit
a manifest of tho articles brought in by officers,
but this was neglected in tho case of tho ves
sels nbovo named, and a search by a special
agent rcvoalcd tho presence of a largo amount
of valuable silks and curios which aro dntiable
and were evidently inteuded to bo smuggled in.
An investigation will bo made at onco and the
responsibility placed whore it belongs.
As soon as tho work on Fort Sheridan (near
Chicago) i3 completed, tho garrison there will
bo increased to 1,000 mon, embracing three
arms of tho sorvico, which will mako it one of
tho largest garrisons in the United States. This
incrcoso will not take placo for somo months,
howover. Tho additional forco will bo taken
from the Department of tho Plntto.
Rear-Admiral Rcnham.who ha3hcon in com

ALWAYS AT THE FRONT.
Tho ladies of Potomac Reliof Corps, W.R.O.,
auxiliary to tho Department of tho Potomac,
G.A.R., never undcrtnke anything for the ben
efit of thoir Order that thoy do not carry oat to
a successful conclusion ; and it is doubtful if
any other Corps in tho country does better,
or even as well, in tho matter of entertain
ments designed to keep up enthusiasm, and
at tho samo time furnish money with which to
carry on the benovolent work to which the
Woman's Rolief Corps stands pledged.
A lawn party in Juno is ono of three
recognized annual entertainments given by
Potomac Corps, tho other two being a Reunion
and rccoption in October, and a benefit for the
relief fund in Midwintor. These, with numer
ous special entertainments throughout the
yoar, servo to promote au enthusiasm which
koeps this Corps always at the front in tho line
of duty.
The lawn party given last Thursday evening,
June 11. by the above-mentioned Corps on
Judge Dewees's lawn at the corner of Twonty
sixth street and Pennsylvania avenue, tho use
of which for tho purposo was generously ten
dered to tho comraitteo, was tho most magnifi
cent aff.iir'of the kind ever seen in Washing
ton. Tho grounds were brilliantly illuminated
by hundreds of Chineso lanterns and a number
of locomotive headlights, the latter being gra
tuitously loaned to tho Corps by tho Baltimore
& Ohio Railroad officials in Baltimore. Here
and there about the grounds were scattered
booths for Ico cream, confectionery, lemonade,
etc., which did a busiuess highly compliment
ary to tho ladies having charge of them. The
matter of decorating tho grounds had not beon
overlooked, for wherever a flag could be placed
or a banner hung the flag and banner were
there. The Marine Baud furnished music, tho
program being well suited to tho occasion. Over
1,400 people were present, and all voted the
party a success.
THE BERIHG SEA AGREErrtENT.
A final agreement has been reached between
the Government of tho United States and
Great Britain regarding the taking of seals in
Bering Son and adjacent waters. Tho agree
ment was signed on Monday, June 15, by Sir
Julian Pauncefoto, British Minister at Wash
ington, and Acting Feurotary of State Wharton.
Tho President immediately issued a proclama
tion commanding all citizens of tho United
States to oboy tho provisions of the agreement.
Tho agreement prohibits tho taking of seals
until May, 1502, and both powers aro to uso
every endeavor to prevent poaching. Ships of
both Nations aro to patrol the waters, and any
vessel found guilty of taking seals will be con
fiscated, no matter under what Gag she may
sail. Three men-of-war will be ordered from
San Francisco to Alaska immediately. Ponchera
caught violating the agreement are to bo tnrned
over to thoir respective Governments for trial.
HEW COIN DESIGNS.
A committee of artists, consisting of Messrs.
Angustus St. Gaudons, of New York, Henry
Mitchell, of Bo3tou, and C. E. Barber, of Phila
delphia, spent sovcrnl hours ono day last week
in consultation with Director of the Mint
Loach, in oxamiuation of aovcral hundred de
signs and models for now silver coin, which
had been submitted in response to a circular
sent out by tho Treasury Department. At the
conclusion of tho inspection by tlio.se colebrated
artists and tho Director of the Mint, it was
unanimously agreed that whilo many of the
designs submitted were very meritorious, thoro
were nouo that conld bo considered enough
of an improvement on the preseut coins to jus
tify a chango, and thoy wero all consequently
rejected and returned to tho senders. There
will be no now designs for coins for sometime
to como consequently? a3 Director Leach hoj
not decided what steps to pursue in regard to
tho mutter.
MAJ. RATHBONE'S SUCCESSOR.
There is n great deal of speculation in the
Postoilico Department as to who will bo given
tho position of Chief Postoffico Inspector to
succeed Maj. Estes G. Rathbono, who was some
timo ago promoted to be Fourth Assistant Post-moster-Genoral.
Tho post of Chief Inspector
is a difficult ono to fill, requiring high execu
tive ability and a thorough knowledge of all
the details of every branch of the postal sor
vico. It is generally thought that Maj. Rath
bono's successor will be one of tho Division In
spectors, aud there are six of these who are
candidates for appointment. Capt. James
Stuart, tho efficient Superintendent of the
Chicago Division, who is nn old Indiana vetor
an, is makiug n fight for the position, nnd his
friends think ho will bo successful. Comrade
Stuart has been an Inspector about 20 years,
and is a thoroughly competent officer.
THE FIRST OF HER SEX.
Postmaster-General Wnuamakor is the re
cipient of a letter from u youug woman for
appointment to the position of railway mail
clerk, the first application for such a position
ever mado by a woman. In her letter the
young woman says that in times past woman
was considered inferior to man, but of late
years sho has proved man's equal nnd often
times superior iu overy walk of lifo. She
thinks she is perfectly capable of filling the
position of railway mail clerk; says she is
a graduate of hijjh and normal schools, 13 per
fectly healthy, weighs 145 pounds, ia quite
strong, has been a school teachor, and thinks
hersolf capable of performing every duty por

THE WOODS FULL OF THEM.
Not long ago ve inserted a paragraph from a
man in Illinois claiming to ha the only liviag
son of a RevoiBtiooary soldior. Answers

every part of tho United States, showing that
both sons and daughters of patriotic sires are
still very numerous. Among the latest heard
from is Mrs. Caroline KMeerans Wade, ef Jeffer
son, O., reliet of Hon. Ben Wade, Senator aad
Vice-President pro tern., of Ohio.
