"XT a fiTfwts-'imsN.H T . t mi ManmflUTUH, uune a. mere is general and great curiosity to hear Judge Bennett on the civil service question in connection with the pend ing bill. Yesterday the Judge went over on the Republican side, an uh usuai ucuurreuce. ana iifiTnert in. tently. lie seemed to be ready sev. eral times to jump upon Cannon, but refrained from asking questions, cannon nad refused to yield to others. Asked if he would speak, j uage .Bennett saia tnat he bad not yet decided whether he would not. or Springer made a most spirited and successful defence of Commissioner Black, and Reed was only able to get even by a quip, which caused a laugh at the expense of the very posi tion he was advocating,' namely, that Black was not carrying out the civil service policy. Kumors from time to : time that Gen. R. B. Vance was preparing to stand for the nomination .for Con' gress in the Ninth District have been circulated. It has been said that this must be so, because he has offered; for sale his residence here and sent his children to Asheyille. But these two facts are hot in themselves conclusive evidence of such intention. There is, however, a general belief here that Gen. .Vance will be a candidate in the convention, i Mr. London, of Pittshoro, nephew of Maj. H. A. London, is in the city, on his way home from Poughkeepsie Business College, where he has been for five months.!

J., is in hot water with ' his congregation. Reports are current cf n scene last Sunday- in Christ church when he refund communion to Mies Mayo, a member of the church. . It is said the lady wept bitterly when he passed her by without administering the sacrament This is not the first time he has doi.e the same thing, It is stated that he has refused to give Miss Mayo communion since the time an altercation arose between them and she struck the pastor. The af fair was published at the time in the World. . Miss Mayo is a lady of refinement, and is a member of a well known family of Richmond, VaM and a niece of the late Gen. Winfic Id Scott. Her brotherMn-law, Gen. Qracie, wag a distinguished officer in the Confed ate army. : Miss Mayo is a devout church goer, and Is noted for works of chanty. She dresses in a rather eccentric way, and it is said can be found kneeling at the church door long before the doors of the edifice are opened. The quarrel between the pastor and herself has had many ver sions, but the following, from an in timate friend of the lady told to the World reporter, is considered the most reliable; He states Miss Mayo went to the church and entered the vestry to get a silver plate belonging to her. which was lying beside the baptismal fount. Rev. Mr. Oberly was in the vestry. When she reached her hand for the plate he pushed it to one side and said she could not have it. She became indignant at this, whereupon h,e or dered $be sexton to put "her ; out. When "that worthy attempted to place his hand on her arm Miss Mayo gave him a violent push back. He stumbled and fell oyer a coal sputtle The rector made a motion which she construed into an intention to strike her. She instnntjy took th aggres sive and struck him with her hand, in which she held a hymnal. She then abruptly left the church. On the following Sunday the pastor in giving communion passed her by. MJ asked the minister why this was done," said the gentleman who nar rated the above story,' "and he haughtily replied, Oh, we've ex communicated her.' I was puwled to know," said the gentleman, "where the authority was given tho rector to excommunicate , anybody' i for such an offense without consult' ing his superiors." i - It is only a short time ago that Mr. Oberly removed M, r. Colburn, the bUnd organigt, who had served the phurch in that capacity over thirty years. This caused , a "commotion, and intensified the dissatisfaction against the ; rector. The. congrega tion of Ohriafc church; includes the most aristocratic people of Elizabeth. Tfte rupture between the rector and a portion of his flock is serious, and growing wider daily. v-- r t . - Squibs, The only thing that can make money without advertising the mint. '.

"J "' I ; ' The nuptial ceremony in the White House among' other happy results has set at rest that abstruse problem m the social economy of the Execu tive household which has been agi tating Washington since tile instal lation of the widowed President Arthur in, the place of the murdered arneld. There had been widowed Presidents before. The wife of Jef ferson had died nearly twenty years before her husband became President Their highlv cultivated and A!)llf.l fill daughters, Mrs. Randolph and Mrs. coupes, uiviaea the honors of tho social regime, rejieved when absent by Dollv Pavne Marti bustling, somewhat rollicking Quaker wife of hia Secretarv nf Sr.nfa M.0 Jackson, a.delicate, sensitive woman was overwhelmed into eternal Bl.r just before her husbanu's inaueura- tion by he foul slanders bon tisan malice and heaped upon the idol of her heart, the of Pensacola and New Orleans. Her two nieces. Mrs, Andrew IDnnol and Mrs. Andrew Jackson jr., did the honors of the White House dur ing those stormy j,imes of, political antagonisms and social and domenrm scandals. Angelica Singleton Van Buren, a dark-eyed beauty of South Carolina, the wife of the son nf M at,' tin Van Buren, was advanced to the place of presiding lady, the1 rightful occupant of that place; having been dead fully twenty years when that scion of Knickerbocker blood entered upon the duties of Chief Ma sriat.rnto The death of the first Mrs Tyler in the White House caused tho " duties of the early part of the ad- iniaiBiraDion to devolve upon the wife of the President's son. That high functionary later conferred that honor unon Julia Gardner I nf nv.t York, br makiner that his wifs. That suiierh da Pennsylvania. Harriet Lane! adorned the social environments of James Buchanan in his high office of President. i In those days of . eleerant manners and regard for social conventionalities- and proprieties among the high born and cultured ladies Wnrtih r-5nnri South, who were the leaders ojsocie- tb capital, this question of the fi8 lafty of the land, the Pairtflnt not having a wife, was never mnntwi No one doubted the right of toe-Pres ident to invest some lady member of his family a daughter, a sister or a nieoe with the domestic arid social prerogatives of his high station. - It was during the caDtivatirisr snf.ial reign of Mary Arthur McElrov. the petite and pretty sister of President Arthur, that Blue Grass statesmen ana dames undertook to force this heretical doctrine into the social forms of official life. The w ife of the Speaker was exalted as the first lady of the land, and held a rump court at one of the hotels. ! i The inauguration of Groyer Cleve land revived this vigorous contro versy in a more formidable shape. In the administration of President Ar thur there was simply a President pro tem. of the Senate, then in the line of succession to the Executive office.hut whose wife was ah invalid, and upon which frail assumption the wife cf the Speaker aspired to tEre honors of reigning queen. The elec tion of Thomas A. Hendricks as Vice President placed the wife of that omcer next in line m the van of the aspiring fashion- of the feminine world of the great government. Mrs. Hendricks, had made the! appoints ment of the rugged "Joe'' McDonald a political impossibility, and when Miss Rose Cleveland took her place as the presiding lady of the White House notice was served against her assuming social precedence as first lady of the land. I President Cleveland, with an exhi bition of sagacity in fine points of etiquette surpassed only by; the deli cate sensibilities displayed in his love, courtship and marriage, clipped the wings of this threatened rebellion in the social world by giving to the late Miss Katharine Bayard, the daughter of his Secretary jof State, the place of precedence next to Miss Cleveland at the initial levee held under the auspices of his administra tion. The wife of the Vice President was ignored as a claimant not only to the post of first lady, but even of he honors of the first social enter tainment. , f ( The act of January 19,l888.'the firet act" on - the American statute bookjs to lay down t distinejl order of official precedence, designating the Secretary of gtate and after him, in specified order, the other members of the Uabmet as the respective sue ceesors to the Presidentalj office, in event of the demise of the . President and Vice.. President, disposes of all pretensions of the wife ot the Speaker to the social honor of being1 the First Lady in the Land The marriage of the President has settled, the new social problem, as to whether the rule cif preoedenoe applicable to the CabK net successors to the political preroga tives of the Presidential office,in event of a vacanfjy, would not extend to the ladies of their families. ! Had the President not married., the Secretary of State, being a widower, Mrs. Man ning, the wife of the Secretary5 of the Treasury, would have had claims to social recognition which the wife of the Speaker nsver had. by statute, custom QT common sense.
