li: U5 Kzzzxi UNCLE SAM'S NEW TERRITORY Afl A RKSULT OF The ubove map shows the territory that has been or will undoubtedly be added war with Bpaln-Porto Rico, the Island of Guam, or Guahan, In the Ludrones, and a It la Especially Welcome With the AVenther In Its Present State. From the Philadelphia Times. It Is undoubtedly a very good thing that the cutom of having the savories served before, Instead of after, the Bwects at dinner Is now gaining favor with so many hostesses, for It really was, if looked nt In a sensible and commonplace, and not a fashionable point of view, a somewhat peculiar, not to say unwholesome, arrange, ment, and likely to prove trying to many digestions, to eat hot and piquant savories between cold sweets and still colder ices. However, it was the right thing to do and, therefore, everyone did It, and if a hostess ventured upon changing the recognized order of service, she was looked upon as peculiar, out of date, and not knowing the correct thing, an opinion that few women would like their friends and guests to entertain of them. Hut now that Dunte Fashion has wisely decreed that the savory may take the precedence of and be served before the sweets, most hostesses will, we feel sure, hoth approve of and comply with the new order of things.

Probublv there miw he Some other changes effected ere long In the giving of dinners, both as to their length and style, for if the rumored alteration of the hour at which the opera is to commence another season actually does take place that Is, If the opera Is to begin nt 5 o'clock, with after the first act an Interval of an hour an da half for dinner, It will scarcely be possible for habitual opera-goers either to give or to attend very often the lengthy and eluborate dinners that are now In fashion. Even in this rapid age It would be somewhat difficult to compress the dinner of many courses within the short limit of an hour, or even of an hour and a half. They would certainly have to be shortened In some way, and perhaps it would not be an altogether unmixed evil, either to the purse of the host or the digestion of the guests If the dinner were slightly curtailed in its proportions, though we fear that the sex who are supposed to hold the dinner hour In especial esteem and -affection might be Inclined to rebel against any Infringement of its rites. Time, however, and time alone, will show whether the culinary art or the art divine of song will prove victorious whether the thought of dining will nllow Itself to be banished from the heart of man at the bidding of "music's golden tongue." Of late yeurs the has been growing later and later, and usurping to Itself the place of what at' one time was the hour for supper. Dame Fashion, as becomes her sex has she not always by general consent been looked upon as a woman? loves variety, so perhaps we shall see supper parties take the place of dinner parties some day as a favorite form of entertainment, and one that would probably be extremely popular among the more youthful members of 'society.

History repeats herself life revolves-' In a circle. The schoolroom tea which, In other words, means a sltdown tea and a hearty meal has made its appearance, and found favor for Itself to a certain extent. May it not be a precursor of further changes, a preparing of the way for a departure cf the lata, and elaboraajj dinner party, and the reappoaranee of supper? Who can say what the whlrlglg of fashion will bring to the fore? But there can be little doubt that an early opera will, If It becomes nn accomplished fact, bring some changes in Its train.

It was a thlr.ity crowd that Capt, Kel ly and a squad of officers dropped unex pectedly upon yesterday at the residence of Mrs. Mary Cafferty, 13 Basin al ley.

Mrs. McCafferty had made ampl preparations to entertain her guests, as the police found two tubs of beer on Ice, three full cases and a barrel untapped be sides a number of empties. It Is said the officers sampled the beer, which made them a little reckless and then they ar rested everybody In sight. The haul conclsted of Mrs. McCafferty, her daughter Lizzie, William Stewart Fred Stewart, David Strain, Harry Freil, John Langan, E.

Th captain complied with his request, dictating slowly, and In a short time the book In front of his honor looked more like a wholesale liquor dealer's ledger than a police docket. "The girl got out on forfeit after she was arrested and I understand she returned and opened up shop again," stated Cupt. Kelly. "Did you see her?" asked his honor. "Personally I have no direct evidence on that charge, but an officer will tell you what he saw." Officer William Devlin corroborated all Capt.

Kelly sHid In regard to making lie raid. "I had It from a gentleman whom 1 could rely on that when the girl got out of the station she went home and started to sell again." stated Officer Devlin. "I visited the place to convince myself and there was the appearance of the business being In full blast. The back door was open and beer was being handed out to the people In waiting. Three men got down a steep embankment much quicker than I would like to perform the same feat.

I want to tell your honor that there has been a great deal of trouble with that house and one Sunday a riot was almost precipitated." "Mrs. McCafferty, you heard what has been said: have you any excuse to offer?" asked his honor. "The place wasn't opened up again after we were arrested." 1 Jigs The Chicago Kid Gets In Trouble Again. "Well, I'm sure you have been warned of'en enough by the police.

"I didn't mind that so much but when I got the people In the wagon she returned to abuse me, usirg very bad language.

She Wti a Pretty Virginia Bells Whose Father Objected. Apropos of the engagement of Gen. Mer-rltt, the story of his West Point love has been revived. The young lady was Miss Virginia Bowlln, whom the general met while a cadet, through his acquaintance with the lady's cousin, now Col. William Proctor 8mith.

Lieut. Merritt, in a manly, straightforward fashion, wrote to Gen. Bowlin, asking the hand of his daughter in marriage. Pretty Virginia was at once ordered buck to school and commanded never to think again of her young lover. Her stern father considered his lfl-year-old daughter too young to think of marriage.

Moreover, the gulf was already widening between the north and the soutn. and the proud old Virginian could not bear the thought that his child should favor a northern soldier. No communication was permitted between the lovers, Virginia was carefully Imprisoned In- the academv where no missive could reach her. She afterward became the wife of Gen. Jenkins, of the confederate army.
