THE SOCIAL WORLD Where Society and Fashion Will Spend the Summer. EUROPE. SEASHORE AHD MOUNTAINS Still the Capital Will Never Be Entirely Deserted. OTHER NEW 'GOSSIP Summer plans are in order, but it does not follow that every one has a program which will not bear considerable changing between now and the coming of the real warm weather. Practically, society is much in evidence here until after the 4th of July.

From that until the 15th of September it behooves the truly fashionable to absent themselves from the city's streets and to be quite to the front wherever the gayetles are in progress. A good many people would be much more comfortable at home, and they are frank enough to admit it, but a change is generally commendable.even if in some thingE it is rather for the worse. Washington will not be entirely deserted by the official families, except at long intervals, all summer, no mat ter how many fashionables leave town.

Gardiner Hubbartrn Lecture on Napoleon Before the Men's Society. The Men's Society of the Church of the Covenant had the pleasure last evening of listening to Mr. Gardiner G. Hubbard's lecture on Napoleon. It was the last meeting of the year prior to the summer vacation, as in place of the regular meeting in June an excursion will be given to Marshall Hall, which will be enjoyed by the members of the society and their friends.

On account of the great interest in the lecture of the evening, as well as in accordance with the custom of the society in having ladies present at least at one meeting during the year, the audience last evening included In addition to the members of the society their lady friends. A brief business meeting was held in one of the upper rooms. Prof. Rawson, one of the vice presidents, presided in the absence of the presideht, William Elroy Curtis.

SEALING. The Work of the Patrol Fleet Will Be More Difficult. The action of the British government in refusing longer to permit the securing, under seal, of the outfit and equipment of British sealers, it is said at the Treasury Department, undoubtedly will render the work of the patrol fieet more difficult, as the danger of illegal sealing will be increased; it may also add to the inconvenience necessarily experienced by masters of such sealing vessels. No change, however, in the instructions already given our officers as to searching and seizure will be necessary, further than to remind them that the failure of a British vessel to secure her arms and equipment under seal is not a violation of the Paris award, nor ol' the British act of parliament enacted to carry out said award. BUYING LP HEADING.

A Scheme to Control the Anthaclte Coal Trade. The New York World says; The Vandertilts and their friends have completed a deal of gigantic proportions by the purchase in the stock market of a majority of the stock of the Philadelphia and Reading railroad. The acquisition of the stock began a month ago, and at the close of business in Philadelphia yesterday it aggregated, it is said, 500,000 shares of a total of 800,000. The possession of the Reading is the principal part of a scheme for the control of the anthracite coal trade. The process of accumulating Reading stock in New York has been the same as that employed when the Vanderbllts and the First National Bank party sought ascendancy in the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western railroad.

hen the scheme Is fully consummated the combine will dictate the management absolutely of these four companies: Philadelphia and Reading railroad; Delaware, Lackawanna and Western railroad; Delaware and Hudson Canal Company, Central Railroad of New Jersey. THE EMMET GUARDS They Maj Enter the St. Louis Interstate Drill. mm funds the trip A Sketch of the Popular Irish Organisation. SOME FINE RECORDS The members of the Emmet Guard of this city are planning to attend the Interstate drill to be held at St.

Louis during the first week in July next, and believe that if they get there they will be able to carry off some of the valuable prizes that are offered for competition. They are therefore making active preparations in order to raise the necessary funds to defray the heavy expenses of such a trip, as well as to procure new uniforms, which are now needed, owing to the length of time that the familiar costumes of green and gold have been in service. The Emmets are now in the eleventh year of their existence as an organization, and have acquitted themselves honorably whenever they have entered any contest. This company is composed exclusively of Irishmen or the sons of Irishmen, and is named after the famous patriot of the emerald Isle. They were organized on the 4th of March, 1884, under the command of Capt.

Wm. H. Murphy, and are now commanded by Capt. Harry Walsh, who was enlisted soon after the formation of the company. He has been at the head of the organization since 1890 and has always worked hard in the interests of the company.

The fir3t lieutenant is Mr. R. J. Harding and the second lieutenant is Mr. C.

J. Harlow. The latter has won honors on all sides by his wonderful individual drilling. Mr. T.

F. McAnally is first sergeant, being at present the holder of the medal for the best-drilled man in the United States, which he won at the Little Rock interstate drill last year. Capt. Harry Walxli. Capt.

Harry Walsh is a well-known Washingtonian, and is. in-his twenty-eighth year. When, in April, the Emmet Guard was organized, Capt. Walsh was one of the first to seek admission, but, owing to the fact of his being under eighteen years of age, h5s election was deferred until the following October. From the date of his enlistment he showed a quick adaptability to military matters, and, besides, became universally popular in the company.

As vacancies occurred he was advanced by the choice of his friends. In he was made corporal, and shortly after second lieutenant. He was commissioned first lieutenant in July, 1887, and in December, lKJfc), he was elected and commissioned captain, purihg his connection with the company Capt. Walsh has shown himself an untiring' oltjcer, and the a.d^ vances made by his command attest his efficiency. Meat.

First Lieut. R. J. Harding is twenty-nine years of age, and possesses a soldierly figure and bearing. He gained his military from his connection with the company.

From the date of his qualification as first lieutenant he has made rapid strides toward perfecting himself in all the duties pertaining to the position he holds, and it is safe to say that of all the officers of his rank in the guard none are more aptly adapted to the position than he. Lieut. C. J. Harlow was born in Alexandria, about twenty-eight years He enlisted in the company six months after its inception, and since then has served through all the grades of corporal, sergeant and first sergeant.

He has taken an active part in many individual competitive drills for the past six years, and seldom, if ever, suffered defeat. He had such confidence in his ability and nerve that he journeyed to New York five years ago to uphold the honor of the District of Columbia National Guard, and had the gratification of carrying off the first prize by downing the "cracks" of the New York militia. JTirst Sergt. T. F.

McAnnally enlisted in the Emmets in 1800, was promoted to corporal following September, to sergeant in May, 1892,. and first sergeant in August, 1S93. Ho is a thorough soldier, ar.d largely because of his untiring efforts the company has reached such a high standard in rifle practicq. A sharpshooter himself, and also captain of the company rifle team, the organization, through his Instrumentality, has qualified its membership as sharpshooters. He is the present holder of the medal for the best drilled man in the United States, having won it at the interstate drill held at Little Rook.

In July of last year. Second Sergt. William F. Gallagher, the right guide of the drill team, began his military career with the Emmets in June, 1887, and has served as private, corporal and fifth, fourth, third and second sergeants. He possesses a magnificent physique, is extremely graceful, and makes an ideal soldier.

It is doubtful if a better man to take care of the right end of the company could be found in the entire District National Guard. Sergt. Gallagher also has the distinction of being the next best drilled man in the United States, having stood second to Sergt. McAnnany at the drill at Little Rock, last year. As part of the effort to create a fund to pay the expenses of the company on the or haa been undertaken, to be opened next Monday 8 o'clock.

The plan la to have the fete on a military basis, and It wffl rather be an encampment than a fair, the booths tents, and the military Idea pervading the entire enterprise. The Mt. Serart. Gftllngher. Pleasant Drum Corps will be in attendance, and a host of pretty young ladies have volunteered their services to make the affair very pleasant to the visitors.

In all probability this affair will be the last at which the Emmets will appear in their well-known uniform of old gold and These uniforms have seen long service, and the object of this fete is the raising of funds with which to procure new ones. GROSS SWINDLING CHARGED. Culmination of Allegations Agalnut Gr eon liut. The culmination of the charges against J. B.

Greenhut, ex-president of the whisky i trust, and some of his associates, has been leached In a bill filed In the United States I circuit court at Chicago by Receiver John B. McNulta.

"When the police run the court," said Judge Miller, "they may do this kind of business. But let me see officers trying to ir-ske vagrants of hard-working people, and III make some other people vagrt; Xs." A Decision Aicalnut Capt. r. h'le the U. S.

S. Columbia was lying at Kingston, Jamaica, last month there occurred one of those little Jars which go to make up the standing ill feeling between the line and staff of the navy. The officers being about to receive visitors from the British post ashore, Capt. Sumner appointed committees to entertain them. This in accordance with the custom, but the captain In his order designated a line officer in each case to head the committee Surgeon William G.

Farwell finding himself thus subordinated to an officer of inferior rank, protested, and being denied what he considered Justice by the captain he appealed the case to the Secretary of the Navy himself. The latter, after examining the matter, has addressed a letter to Capt Sumner, discussing the subject at length' and concluding that the surgeon was In the right: that in such cases the senior officer, whether line or staff, must head the list, and that the committee must be regarded as similar to a beard of lnspection.

The fact that the champions would drill had been widely heralded and attendance was almost double that of the day before when the local companies drilled u-hVwT before the drill's the sun ml th? perslstently endeavoring to get the best of the clouds all mornine was successful, and the result was an idea! afternoon for drilling. The Morton Cndeta.

To the "High School Cadets' March" the Cadets took the field for their third Inspection and drill. The boys halted before a veritable mountain of faces but were calm and collected.

Barring the inability of one man to draw his bayonet and a few other individual errors the drill was the beautiful, polished exhibition for which the company is famous. Turned Too Mnny At the ccnclusion of thirty-nine minuUs Captain Domer returned his program to the Judges, and instantly the military element among the audience knew that something was wrong. It proved to be, as It eloped later, that the commanding offlIV tbe Fenclbles in turning the pages program had accidentally moved lcaves of one. Thus, ten numbers of the program were omitted and the company scored zero on each Domer soon realized what had a the six mlnutes at his disSumLS a executed the nuipkers near as he could remember ln the Page the Other Competitors.

CAMP SCHOFIELD, Memphis, May 15, 1.S95 arC flocklnB to Mont'gomeo- arte, the scene of the interstate drill and encampment. Every day marks a great increase in the attendance, and this afternoon the crowd was tremendous and the interest intense. The Washington soldier lads, the National Fencibles and the youthful Morton Cadets, are reflecting nothing bill credrf on the District of Columbia National (Juari and their home city.

A feature of the contests for Infantry companies has been the length and completeness of the drill programs. After undergoing a rigid inspection occupying about fifteen minutes, the companies have then been drilled constantly for fully forty-five minutes, not a moment's rest being given. The work of the judges has also been of the most particular nature. The sights of the rii.es are always carefully examined, to see if they are elevated to the proper scale In the firings, and Lieut. Chandler went so far adnesday as to ask a Morton Cadet the number stamped on the breech-block of his rifle.

"Xo. KW.346." was the prompt reply. It was correct, and the judge smiled approvingly. The programs in classes and are practically, if not exactly, the same. Camp Recreation.

The District lads do not lack amusement. The drum major of the United States cavalry band from Jefferson barracks Is alone worth the price of admission to the grounds to see. He is as straight as an arrow, and in dress parade leads the band up and down the line with a stride and a flourish of his saber that has made him the enw o' every soldier In camp. Inspired by the" an. pearaii'-e of the musicians at the eveninir ceremony, the Fencibles have organized a cavalry band, with Private Swigart as drum major and Private Plstel as band Attired In costumes that discount Hub Smith famous country band and provided with tin hasins and dippers as instruments, the Fencibles' band glTes concerts in the company street dailv at 11 a.m.

The boys are hopeful that lief'ore the close of the week Drum Major Swigart will have become as proficient as the cavslrv leader in handling his saber. The exhiblare extremely ludicrous, and never enUre Camp t0 th0 are the center of attiactlon for the Morton Cadets The Mortons never before witnessed a zouave drill, and during the exhibition of Captain Deffney experts Monday every Morton's eye was riveted on the pseudo Turks. Private Babcock immediately organized a tea? and every spare moment in the daytime since then and at all hours of selected number of cadets are vaulting benches, firing to the rear and Other startling maneuvers with creditable proficiency. By reason of the huKe camP Ires burn each night in the company streets, and that bas been an excuse for the Mortons to hold spectacular Indian war dances at most unseemly hours. taken the Initiative in enlivening drill moments bv tossing lha colored waiters and venders about camp in blankets.

An elaborate systom has been inrugurated to lure the unsuspecting victims into the company street. Once within the limits there is no escape, and great has been the fun provided in this way the tossed ones, without exception, having submitted good-naturedly. On Dreaa Parade. Dress parade each evening is a beautiful spectacle and is always witnessed by large throngs of people. Heretofcre the United States cavalry troops have not participated In the ceremony, but there has such pressure brought to bear upon the management that Col.

Kellogg has consented to have the cavalrymen participate in the spectacle hereafter. A great feature of the encrmpment is tlie presence of two companies of confederate veterans, wearing old uniforms of gray and drilling according to Hardee's tactics Every veteran is over sixty years of age, and the appearance of the companies oii the field always creates the wildest enthusiasm. Local interest in tlie confederate drill Saturday is assuming immense proportions. The old men and the Morton Cadets havo become fast frlerds, the veterans and the youngsters often being seen together. Itevlevv.

The review of all the troops Monday by Gen. John M. Seliofleld promises to be the most brilliant spectacle ever witnessed in Memphis. The companies will form much after the fashion of the opening day, and every sponsor, together with her maids and chaperm, will appear In Exhibition drills by the Cnited States cav airy troops havo recently been introduced in camp. The troopers, charging with drawn salvers and slashing and cuttins down Iniginsry opponents, present a thrilling: scene and are always loudly cheered.
