ROYAL GIFTS,

Sold by Reeipiemts Without Dellemeyer Restint.

From the Chicago Record.It musit be rather distressing to royalty

to see the small value set upon the giftswhich it is the habit of distributing amongIts friends and followers. These gifts arecorstantly being converted into cash in amost public and open marner, without theslightest delicacy or restraint.Thus, at a great public auction held at

London, there was a valuable gold-mountedan-d jeweled cane, which belonged to thelate Maharajah Dhuleep Singh, and hadbeen presented 'to him by the Prince ofWales as a token of friendship and regard.It was but the other day that a number of

very charming etchings made by the queenand the late prince consort forty-five yearsago wore put up at auction at Dublin.They had been presented by her majestyand her husband to one bf her formerladies in waiting, on whose death they hadbeen offered for sale by the heirs.The shop windows of one of the great

pawnbrokers at Berlin were filled somemonths ago with an entire collection ofvaluable watches snuftboxes, adorned withgems, articles of jewelry, etc., all pre-mented by various sovereigns and royalye rsonages to the late Count Visone, min-later of the l'ousehold of the king of Italy,and pledged without being redeemed by hisseapegrace son, who, until the othier day,was a secretary of the Italian embassy atBerlin.Thus It happens that one finds pins. rings,

snuftboxes and even autograph portraits Inthe possession of penple for whom theywere certainly never intended and whomake improper use of them for the pur'-posa of obtaining social prestige.Perhaps the grossest case of all, however,

was that of Baron von Radowdtz, now Gher-iran ambassador at Mallrid, who, on theconcluagon of his mission at Constantinople,where he had represented Germany diplo-matically for a number of years and en-joyed the particular friendship of the sul-tan, who was never tired of loading himwith valuable gifts, deliberately put up atpublic auction In Constantinople Itself, un-der the very eyes of the sultan, all thepresents which he had received from hisOttoms'n nmajesty.

THE PAPERS DISAPPEARED'

Another Ohapter in the Legal Oomplioa-tione of Kr. and In.. Thee, G. Honer,

Judge Cox Postpones the Hearing of

the Case to Permit a Seareh for

the Missing Doenments.

The application of Mrs. Mary L. Hooverfor an injunction restraining her husband,Thcmas G. Hoover. from visiting her resi-dence. 1723 5th street, and from in anyway interfering with or molesting her dur-ing the pendency .of the suit for divorcefiled by her the 6th of last June, came upfor a final hearing before Judge Cox thismorning.A temporary restraining order was grant-

ed Mrs. Hoover by Judge Cole last month,but when the case was called up todayseveral important papers were reportedmissing from the files by Messrs. J. McD.and Campbel Carrington, counsel for thedefendant.- The missing papers were theanswer of Mr. Hoover to his wife's appli-cation, a similar application of his and tenaffidavits in support thereof. They werelost seen last Saturday, when Mr. W: P.Williamson, counsel for Mrs. Hoover, re-quested the clerk to make copies of themfor him.When Judge Cox's attention was called to

the matter today he directed that the casego over until tomorrow morning, a searchmeantime to be made for -the papers.Each party of the suit, it is understood,claims to be the owner of the house Inquestion, and each is desirous of an orderrestraining the other from claiming It ashis or her own exclusive property.

B. AND O. GRADE CROSSINGS.

The Commissioners Are Asked HowLong Their Dangers Are to Threaten.Why are the dangerous grade crossings

along. the- line- of the Baltimore and Ohiorailroad left unprotected? That is thequestion the president of the NortheastWashington .Citizens' Association wantsInswerei. The people in his section of thecity are much interested in this subject,and in a letter to the Commissioners todayhe urges that the matter be considered assoon .as possible and the. railroad made tocomply with the law.Some time ago, it will be recalled, a reso-

lution was passed at a meeting of the as-sociation calling for this information. TheCommissioners were furnishe4lwith a copyof the resolution and they sent copies of itto Lieuts. Kelly and Heffner,: In whole pre-cincts the alleged violations of law werebeing committed. Their replies were dulyreceived. President Tucker, however, takesissue with Lieut. Kelly in his report andcalls attention to the crossings at Massa-chusetts avenue, E street and G street,which, he says, are left unprotected atnight after i9 o'clock. There 'are othercrossings not protected at night, he says,in support of his statement that he haspersonally inspected tgen; himself.

CITY LIFE I VING.

President Kingsbury Addresses theSocial Science Association.

The opening session h* the annual meet-ing of the AmericarS cisal"Science Associ-ation was lieid-at' !sratIg last evening.F. J. Kingsbury, LL. 'D., of Waterbury,Conn., president of the asasciation, deliv-ered his annual address on: "The Tendencyof Men to Live in Cities." In the course ofhis address Prestdcnt Kingsbury said thata recent writer has said: "The great factin the social development of the 'white raceat..the. close of the nineteenth century Isthe, tendency all over the world, to tongre-gate in great cities." Doubtless this Is

'EiMe. but it is not a new cr even a modern"teidency. For when the earlitot dawn of'asthentic history sheds its sale- light ,An,the darkness which lies beyond it shows uscities as large, as magnificent, as luxuri-ous, as wicked, and, apparently, as old asany that the world has since known. Baby:Ion. Ninevah, Memphis,. Thebes, Damascus,nere cited by- the'speaker as examples.The summing up was:1. For economic reasons a-large part of

the work of the world, mast be done incities. are

2. Almost all the good things of life areeasiest of attainment there.3. Change from qity to country a portion

of the year is desirable and attainable.4. The city is growing a better place to

live in year by year.5. Efforts -to relieve the congested condi-

tion by deportation of-homeless children,etc., are good, but only touch the surface,and city degeneration must mainly befought on its own ground and on economicand not sentimental lines.

8. Just now the country life needs atten-tion as much as the city. The whole prob-lem, as sociological, is comparatively new,but progress has been made and the futureis full of promise.

SEEKING A SWINDLER

Polioemen an the Lookout for a ShrewdGlarea Bmeal

He Makes Old People in the CountryHis Vietims by Playing om Their

Suseeptibilties.

A telephone message was sent to the sev-

eral police stations this morning directingthe officers to look out for and arrest s

young colored 'man who Is wanted forswindling. This young man went over inPrince George's county a few days ago andsucceeded in robbing a countryman of $17,and yesterday he robbed an unsuspectingold colored man named Charles Hall, wholives on the Bowen road, Hillsdale. His firsteffort was. made some days ago, when hewent to the house of a colored woman be-yond Anacostia and Imparted to her thesad information that her son, who had en.

listed in the army, had died."His body." said the shrewd young man,

"is at the express office, and it will re-quire $17 to get It."The poor old woman, who was heart-

broken because of the sad newa she hadbeen told. hurried to the house of a neigh-bor, and got together the money. Thefastest horse on the farm was hitched tothe lightest vehicle, and the young manwas sent over with a friend of the soldier'smother, who was Intrusted with the $17.When the freight office was reached the

swindler took the money to pay the bill,as he said, but as there are several doorsto the office, he made his exit, and, ofcourse, took the money with him. Therewas no. dead body at the office, and thesupposed dead soldier is still carrying hismusket.Yesterday when the swindler, evidently

the same one, appeared at Charles Hairshouse, he was very happy, because, hesaid, a relative had died and had left him

"But," said the young swindler to the oldman, "I've got to raise $8 in order to payexpenses and get the money."Old man Hall thought such @ little thing

should not stand in his way, and so heborrnwed the money from neighbors andlet the young man have it. This morninghe was to meet him at 1st and B streetsand get the money with a little interestThe old man came to town and brought-hissister and child with him, but he soonfound that he was the victim of a swindler,and reported the case to the detectives.

CHARGED WITH SERIOUS OFFENSES

A Wer an Insulter Forfeits Collateral-A Clerk Demands a Jury Trial.There were two cases of alleged techni-

cal assault called in the Police Court thismorning, and one of the deferdants for-felted $50 collateral, while in the other casea jury trial was demanded. In the firs'case a tall, elderly man, with white beardand much better looking than the averageman, was arrested yesterday about nooncharged with insulting Mrs. Mary Whitney. He gave his name as Thomas LJohnson, and his occupation as that 01a farmer. The police think he gave a fctitious name, and -believe he is not sfarmer.It appears that Mrs. Whitney, who lives

at 529 10th street southeast, was on Penn-sylvania avenue with her husbang viewingthe. procession, when, as is charged, tinsmap approachedtcok bold of her arm andaske4 her to take a walk. At that timeher husband was standing a few feet away,and when he learned of what had happened be was ready to take the law in hisown hands, and the old man would probably have fared badly had not PolicemanWilliams appeared on the scene and ar-rested him.The police of the first precinct accepted

$50 collateral in the case, and this was forfe!ted because of the good-looking old man'sfailure to appear.In the other case a young man named

William J. Yates. clerk in a furniturestore, was the defendant, while RoseSlaughter, a young colored woman, was theprosecuting witness She went to the storewhere Xates was at work, and he went tcone of the upper floors to show her somefurniture. While there, the young womancharges, he took hold of her and made anindecent proposal to her. Complaint wasmade to the proprietor, and PolicemanBloom arrested the young man, who deniesthe charge. A jury trial was demanded byMr. C. M. Smith, counsel for the defendant,and the case went over.

Miss Terrett and Mr. Hunter United in

Marriage-Mr. Belmants

Ball-Personals.

NEWPORT, R. L. Sept. 3.-The engage-ment of Miss Gertrude Vanderbilt and Mr.Mc sea Taylor, though not formAlly an-nounced, is now conceded by their friends.The attachment is a most natural one. Mr.Taylor was the special friend of the lateWilliam H. Vanderbilt, the brother of hisfiancee, and the families have long been onterms of intimate friendship. The greatfortune of Miss Vanderbilt is almost match-ed by the millions of Mr. Taylor. He is thesecond son of Henry A. C. Taylor, and hisinheritance came from his grandfather,Moses Taylor, one of the .most successfuland respected of the old-time merchants.Miss Gertrude Vanderbilt is the eldestdaughter of Mr. and Mrs. Cornelius Van-derbilt, and one of the world's richest heir-esses. She is pretty and attractive, slightlyabove the medium height and slender. Hercomplexion is fair, her features small andregular, her eyes gray and her hair brownand abundant.A very pretty wedding took place at half-

past 12 today at the residence of the MissesFillebrown, 905 23d street. The bride, MissMargaret Stewart Terrett of Fairfax coun-

ty, Va., is the daughter of the late MajorGeorge H. Terrett of.the United States ma-

rine corps, and the groom, Mr. W. BrookeHunter,. Is the Hyattsville correspondentoY The Stir and a son of the late Dr. JohnHunter of this city. The home of theMisses Fillebrown, who are cousins of thebride, was decorated with flowers, and par-ticularly attractive was the drawing room,where the ceremony took place. The bridecame into the parlor escorted by her uncle,Mr. Gibson Terrett, and breceded by a flow-er girl, little Eda McKnew, who carried a

basket of white flowers, and the maid ofhonor, Miss Katherine Fillebrown. Dr. Al-fred H. Wells of Hyattsville was best man,and the rector of Pinkney MemorialChurch, Rev. Chas. J. S. Mayo, performedthe ceremony. Only relatives and a fewintimate friends were present..The bride was gowned in white silk, withlace and white ribbons, and carried brideroses. The maid of honor wore white silk.with a bodice of light blue chiffon. Thecouple received a number of valuable pres-ents. This afternoon they went to themountains of West Virginia, where theywill spend their honeymoon. They will re-side in Hyattsville:Mr. O. H. P. Belmont's ba last night at

Newport was the christening of "Belcourt,"his palatial stable and bachelor apart-ments. The host was suffciently recoveredfrom his late severe illness to receive hisguests, but he is still practically an in-valid.Belcourt is the anest Ceobination of a

villa and stable to be found in America.The fittings and furnishings are ft for acastle. Rare old tapestry and bronzes,statues of full-fledged horses, with knightsin armor astride; thousands of dollars'worth of paintings, etchings and engrav-ings, all emblematical of race horses,coaching and of all kindsof racink of an-cient and modern days are on the walls ofthe coach room, whets the supper tookplace last night.The Belmont colors and cost of arms

are everywhere prominent. Down on thefirst floor and connected with the ball roomis the, stable. Here the thoroughbredhorses were in handsome stalls and placedon dress parade. They were covered withpure 'white blankets and with colors tomatch. Such a scene was never witnessedat a ball in America. The pretty women,in chic gowns, strolled through the bril-liantly illuminated stables with as muchfreedom as they did in the ball room.The ball room, running the entire length
