WASHINGTONSOCIETY
Soma Dissi'isfactbn Over the Presi
dent 30 Deys Mourning.
& false report is corrected
Serving Refer ghmenta at Receptions Will
Be Stopped On Account of the Bad
Manner* Is Silly and Malicious.
Washington, Dec. 94. —[Special. ] —There
is a great deal of gossip in social circles
concerning the decision of President Mc-
Kinley to stop the receptions and dinners
at the White House till after the expira
tion of 30 days from the death of his
mother. As usual in such cases there are
differences of opinion as to the propriety
of this decision, but the weight of respect
able opinion appears to be that the presi
dent is right. He is, say those who uphold
him, not only the president of the United
States, he is sovereign as to his own fam
ily and private actions, just as any other
gentleman is. In these matters he has the
same rights as a private individual, and
if he wishes to have a period of 30 days'
mourning for the mother be loved so well,
that is his affair, and no one else has the
right to say a word in criticism.
But the social devotees, who do not like
to have their plans interfered with, hold
that the social part of the president’s du
ties are like his official functions and real
ly a part thereof. They say he has no
more right to neglect his social duties than
he has to neglect his official duties. They
use as an illustration the case of a railway
president. If the mother of a railway
president dies, they say, that official has
no right to stop the running of trains even
for a single day, as that would interfere
with the rights of the public. These nar
row minded persons confound the social
activity which centers about the White
House with public business, whereas, as a
matter of fact, it is only a matter of tradi
tion and courtesy. If President and Mrs.
McKinley do not wish to give a reception
to their friends or a dinner to the mem
bers of the cabinet, the supreme court or
the senators or the diplomatic court dur
ing a period of 80 days after the death of
a member of their family, that is their un
doubted right. The upholders of the pres
ident’s decision have the best of the argu
ment, but the society lovers-are sore be
cause their favorite amusements are in
terfered with.
A Mendacious Report.
This reminds me that we have of late
had in print some queer things concerning
Washington society. It has been charged
that the ladies of the cabinet have decided
not to serve refreshments at their regular
weekly receptions, because so many ill
mannered, gluttonous persons force their
way into the drawing rooms for the pur
pose of filling their stomachs without
price. There is so little truth in this state
ment that it scarcely merits a denial. It
has not been the custom for many years
for the wives of cabinet officers to servo
refreshments at their afternoon receptions,
unless a wafer or two and perhaps an ice
could be called refreshments, But certain
ly this sort of food would not appeal to
people running about trying to get a
square meal for nothing. I have been at
a good many of these receptions, and I
have never seen any gluttony or ill be
havior. Now and then an unbidden guest
does break into the parlors and, not being
acquainted with any one, lingers lovingly
at the refreshment table, but such inci
dents are rare. This story, like'many oth
ers told of the boisterousness and lack of
good breeding in Washington society, is
more than an exaggeration and borders
upon the mendacious. The wives of cabi
net officers have decided not to serve re
freshments at their receptions for a much
more innocent reason, and the reason is
that some of them are too poor to afford
the expense.
A firm of bankers in this city makes a
specialty of telegraphing money to Europe.
It is surprising what a large business is
done in this line. During the summer
months, when so many Americans are
traveling abroad, scarcely a day passes
that some one docs not come in and ask to
have a certain sum cabled to his wife or
daughter or son, who has run out of funds
on the other side and cabled home frantic
ally for more. The cost of sending money
in this way is much less than would be
supposed. The bankers have correspond
ents in • London, and through these cor
respondents the money is paid on the other
side the water, no matter whether it is In
England, France, Germany, Russia or
even Turkey.
As a rule there is no charge for the serv
ice. cncept the cost of the telegraphing. I
once saw $3,000 cabled to be paid in St.
Petersburg, and all it cost the man who
sent it was $4. This paid for the telegram
to London and another from London to
St. Petersburg. Os course the bankers use
a cipher code to shorten their telegrams
for this purpose.

In this connection there is a funny story.

MRS. SIDNEY LASCELLES.
Her Appearance in Fitzgerald Creates a
Genuine Sensation.
A special from Fitzgerald to the At
lauta Constitution says:
The arrival of Mrs. Sidney Lascelles,
wife of the notorious confidence man'
and all round swindler, last night cre
ated no little excitement in Fitzgerald.
Mrs. Lascelles has changed considers
bly since her flight from this city last
July. In answer to a question as to how
Jong she would remain here, she replied:
“I am here to settle up my fathei’s
estate, but do not know how long it will
take. I have understood my uncle has
been here and has been appointed tern
p irary a-1 ininistrator, but as I am the
only le-i.il heir, I am here to grt mv
ru-h ful property. Sii.ce our leaving
F:’z_erald we have traveled extensively
.Hid my experience has been exciting
and in e.e-tiug, and a more happy six
uioutlis has never been spent. Os course
rhe death of iny father was a sad and
unexpected blow, and I as-’u-e you it
tell with crushing weig >t. My husband
treats me so kindly and ro j,ood and the
base st ir es that have been printed in
the pipers against him makes me love
him all the more.
‘•When we left Savannah, after father
refused to let Mr. Lascelles have money
to settle his debts, he gave us SI,OOO to
letveoa. When we arrived at New
York and were at the depot we met Mr.
Pope, of Americus, who recognized us,
but Mr. Lascelles made him think we
were other parties. We have been living
in the City of Mexico for nearly two
months and have been entertained by
the best American people. Mr. Lascelles
is now engaged in tbe mining business
with his brother and has been reconciled
with his family. The mine is very rich
and within two years they expect to
realize more than $200,000.”
She utterly refused to say whether
Lascelles came with her to the states,
but a gentleman from the north who
came on tbe train with her says that a
young smooth-faced man accompanied
her as far as Montgomery, who, it is
believed, vs as her husband.
