THE SOCIAL SEASON.
AN UNPRECEDENTED DISPLAY AT
THE CAPITAL IS PROBABLE.
The Present Cabinet In Com ported Mainly
of Millionaires Oifieial Hospital it its
May Be on a Seale of Great Splendor.
Legations Have Great Social Influence.
The coming season will be a lively
one for Washington society. The time
consumed in entertaining public men at
the capital lias been increased yearly
nntil it is no small part of the work of a
cabinet officer or congressman to meet
his social engagements. The reason for
the Washington social organization is
easily understood. It is a part of tlie
duty of the foreign ministers to pro
mote friendship and increase trade with
the peoplo to which they are accredited.
The legations are amply provided with
funds for giving banquets and other
hospitable entertainments. They first
set the pace, and the custom was quick
ly adopted and expanded by tho wealthy
residents at the capital.
The legations have had great influ
ence in the establishment of social cus-
MRS. GARRET A. HOBART,
toms in Washington. In social observ
ances the foreign legations have had
quite as strong an influence. Tho man
ner and the frequency of their recep
tions have been initiated by officials of
our government.
To simplify matters of entertainment,
a particular day is adopted when, be
tween certain hours, the house is open
to callers. This is in addition to dinner
entertainment. Of course a good many
houses are open and the occupants are
“at home” on the same day, and a
round of visits can be made, short calls
and chats indulged in and the visitor’s
own home reached in time for dinner.
The “at homes” are generally from
about 8 or 4 in the afternoon to 0 or 7
Tho hours suit tho government clerks
Very well, and they make up no small
part of the callers. It is a case of open
house, everybody welcome, and no re
striction is set as to dress or elegance of
equipage. The carriago of the British
minister will drive up with a gilded
lion and unicorn glistening on its side,
footmen in white breeches and blue
coat, and following his entrance will
come a clerk from the treasury.
All comers are treated politely, and
during the day upward of a bushel of
cards will be deposited. These the host
ess will look over, and mighty hard
work she will have to pick out “who is
who. ” Of course she cannot return so
many calls, but a card sent by mail will
answer in many cases, and funny things
will happen in this way. It is not at all
unusual to find the card of a cabinet of
ficial lying on the dresser of a clerk in
a second class boarding house. This he
has received in return for his call upon
that official, and he amazes his compan
ions with this evidence of the circle to
which he has the entree.
The present cabinet is made np main
ly of millionaires, and it is believed
that coming official hospitalities w r ill
be upon a scale of splendor almost with
out parallel. It is believed that Vice
President Hobart will be a leader in
matters of entertainment this winter.
Mr. Hobart has leased the house former
ly occupied by Senator Don Cameron,
fronting on Lafayette square. It is well
fitted for public receptions. Secretary
Alger, Senator Elkins, Mr. Leiter of
Chicago, Mr. Boardmau, Secretary Bliss
and Mark Hanna will bo in the fore
front of official hosts.
Last winter Senator Brice 'of Ohio
eclipsed all others in the magnificence
of his dinners. Some of the banquets
given by Brico wero of prodigality sel
dom attempted by a prince. They re
called the ■ follies of the Field of the
Cloth of Gold, where “each following
day became the last day’s master’’ and
“every man that stood sliono like a
mine.’’ A guest at one of these dinners i
states that tho table service was of solid
gold. There wero also musicales, where
virtuosos played, and not always to an
appreciative audience. When Esye, the
violinist, was making his American
tour, Brice induced him to play a few
pieces for his guests, at a cost of $3,000,
it was said. The guests were of the
"best people” iu the city, but not all
versed in music One of the leading
Washington violinists asked Esye the
next day if his work was appreciated.
“Oh, yes,” said he, “I think so. But
I found my violin had anew power
Before this 1 have seen it make the face
merry and sometimes sad. Last night it
made the hearers talk. When I would
begin to play, all would begin to talk
and laugh. ”
“But you did not play the right mu
sic, ’ said the Washington soloist. “To
such an audience you should uot play 1
‘Walther’s Prize Song.’ Play‘Johnny, I
Get Your Gun, ’ and that will bring yon
great applause. ” —St. Louis Republic.

A Railroad in Alaska.
The building of a railroad through
Chilkoot Pass will be undertaken by
the Chilkoot Railroad and Transpor
tation Company; of Tacoma. It will
he 8 miles long and will connect Dyea
at tidewater with the mouth of the
Dyea Canon. Transportation through
this canon and across the pass to
Crater Take will be effected by a
system of tramways, the contract
for which has been awarded to the
Trenton, N.J., Iron Company, which
agrees to have them in operation by
June 15, 1808. The tramway will
be of the Rleiohert system. The
first one will be 4 miles in length,
reaching from the c r non to Sheep
Camp, with a rise of 1,000 feet. A
second tramway will extend iron)
Sheepi Cam]) to summit, 3£ miles,
with a rise of 2,500 feet, and thence
to Crater Lake, with a fall of 500
feet. Iron supports will he put in
every 100 feet. The tiamway will
have a capacity of 120 tons daily—
sufficieutjforthe outputs of 200 miners.
It is to be hoped that the promoters
of this much needed means of trans
portation will not encounter any seri
ous legal difficulties. It was believed
that the Interior Department had the
power to grant permission to run
over the public lands, but no provis
ion was made in the act of March 3,
1815, for Alaska, as no one then
thought that railroads would be run
in the territory. The same state of
affairs applies to the tramways, the
cable roads, the telepraph and tele
phone lines ana other enterprises
which demand passage over the pub
lie domains. The originators of the
enterprises will be forced to apply to
Congress for charters or for legisla
tion that may enable the Interior
Department to take charge of the
matter. It is probable that Congress
.will act at once upon these applica
tions, so that the railroads can be
built before the spring season opens.
The Interior Department has many
applications for such franchises, lint
it can do nothing but, refer them to
Congress for action, and so notifies
all those who applied. Out of the
five passes over which routes emld
he constructed from the'eoast to the
interior, three have been surveyed for
this purpose.—Scientific Amerit an.

THU SAD DEATH OF MRS.
SARAH CORN I'Ll A RICHEY.
The Angel of Death again visited
the home of Mrs. Sarah Cornelia
Richey, widow of Mr J. S Richey,
on last Friday morning about 2 o’
clock and almost unknow inulv took
the spirt of this noble and loving vm.
man troin this sad world of sorrow and
pain, and bore it heavenward
By so doing deprived six interestimjr
children of tlnfir best earthly friend,
that of a mother.
Just ten weeks ami four days ago
this woman deprived of a loving
husband, and these children suffered
the loss of -the protecting arms of
a devoted father.
It is sad indeed, to know that this
noble woman was, after tenderly car
mg for, nursing sitting up with and
watching over her sick husband and
children just as long as she possessed
strength with which to execute those
lender commands ot a devoted an,]
loving heart, and then be slriekn with
her own death sickness.
Through a'l these suff-'ings Mis'
liieliey passed with that good Christian
fortitude which is only possessed by
such noble and Christian mother and
wife.
Mrs. Bichev was born in Anderson
county, near Bellton.. S. O. on March
the 14-tli 1847., making her 50 years,
7 months and 8 days old at the time
of her death on the 22d inst.
She was a Miss. Sarah Cornelia

SOME ASTONISHING PLANS PRESENT
ED FOR THE EVENT.
•lieuit) If) H,-model the Flffcl Tower Inti
a statno of France Nil)et.v-six Scheme#
Kxainlned-- Forty-live Are From Foreign
Countries Only Tvro AdoiilrU.
Messieurs M osurrii!' and Moron of the
third subcommittee for tho Paris
World’s exposition in 1900 have finished
the herculean task of examining into
the “new ideas ' presented tor realiza
tion at tho coming event
While it is true that most of the
schemes spoken of in the newspaper.-
arc the very incarnation of idiocy, there
an some which appear to deserve a less
sweeping criticism than that exercised
by the commission
An amusing proposition of M. Benda
is to fix a huge mirror to the top of the
Eiffel tower which would present a mi
rage of the larger part of Paris. Anoth
|er huge, mirror is to he affixed to the
[ base of the tower in such a position as
to reflect the mirage of the top mirror
in lln manner the visitors to the expo
sition would have the opportunity to
witness Parisian life without tho fa
tigue and expense of parte ipariug in it
I The Ei'iel tower, by the way. has
'caused so many would be inventors to
[present fantastic schemes that to the
latter the major part of tho commis
sion's report is devoted. M Hunt pro
poses a six cornered building, 100 feet
in diameter and 2U!) feet high, on the
top of which sleigh races are to he held
upon artificial snow M Banks has the
idea of a gigantic candelabra whose
three foot are to serve as promenades.
M Buffs advises tho erection of two
fountains, one representing a man and
tho other a woman at. 200 times the av
erage size, which would make this
proposed inland pharos about 1,100 feet
high A patriot, M (Jouchnl, would
have tho Litre] tower remodeled into a
statue of France, the first two stories to
serve as pedestal M Ma/.e.laygue pro
-1 poses a house 1.000 feet ill bl ight in or
der to ascertain scientifically to what
height houses may he habitable without
danger
A pyramid of 1,200 feet height re
volving around irs center is the ideal of
John Richardson As philosopher and
philanthropist Gustavo Mongeux pre
: poses two colossal statues, “War” and
“Peace,” “whose contrast would cause
all nations to declare m favor of peace. ”
For the sake of gallantry the proposi
. ticti of Miss Josef a Hamse maybe men
j honed to revive the old wooden horse
I of the memory of the siege of Troy and
! to build a horse, with “all the points ot
1 a blood id animal, ” which would have
an interior capable of holding I.OOC
people
More prosaic and practical is the
scheme of Mile. Ralfe to construct e
mechanical elephant for tho children
and a tea fountain for the adults. The
idea of swings flying 400 feet high, sub
mitted by M Gauss and Mr. Farnshaw,
is old More original is a project of Ax
el Shoot to construct a screw 000 feet
high, along tho threads of which a rai
would conduct visiters to a restaurant
at the top
Worthy of mention is the proposition
by Prince Bella Rocca and by Fernand
Hau, the latter a Parisian journalist,
to arrange an exhibit of religious art of
all ages and also the project of Heir
Fildermann to eonstruet a miniature
city under the protectorate of Hygeia,
which is to he inhabited by people who
are to live strictly according To hygienic
roles in order to study public sanita
tion Both projects are seriously con
ceive 4 and deserving of consideration,
which is acknowledged by the commis
sion
M. Moron. in a separate report, states
that of ill! schemes examined hv him 4-'>
came Rom foreign countries, which
shows the interest taken all over the
world in the coining exposition. Of
these schemes only two have been
definitely adopted—one of an electric
platform, with two degrees of velocity,
for the transportation of visitors within
the exposition grounds (which is prob
ably similar to the moving sidewalk cn
the pier of the recent World's fair in
Chicago) and another of a captive bal
loon of (it).IKK) cubic feet, which can
keep (it) persons m an altitude of 2,000
fort, also an idea known from Chicago
World 's fair
The commissioner divides the schemes
examined by him into eight series, the
first of which comprises aquariums,
vessels, naval engineering, etc., includ
ing a giant aquarium i\ it!) IKO compart
ments and a colossal structure contain
ing a cataract, a lake. | romcnades,
cafes, bicycle rings, etc The building
is to be lighted by electricity aud is to
have walls of red glass to produce the

ors, etc., aud one Anmricai).
Au Englishman*—O.cr here the writ
ings of your Theodora Roosevelt ure
much admired. We 100 ) upon him as
one of the greatest writers on sports in
the world.
Tho American —Glad to hear von sny
go. He is not only a clover writer, but,
a good fellow.
An Englishman—Bat I have heard
that ho fights Willi every one.
The American —If you mean that he
is quarrelsome, that is not true. Asa
member of the police commission in
New York he had a good many rows,
but he was always fighting for the right.
An Englishman—Such a man is in a
decided minority in Now York and
America, is he not?
(Laughter by all the Englishmen.)
Tin American—Undoubtedly, aud in
that respect human nature is pretty
much tho same the world over, even in
London and Great Britain.
An Englishman—Yon have such
dreadful newspapers in America. Do
you believe anything you see in them?
The American—We believe almost
everything. Newspapers in America are
fallible, as they are here, but the best
newspapers in our country are as accu
rate as the best newspapers here. I have
been iii London five days aud I have
noticed in your daily papers in that
time three corrections of errors, besides
several editorial blunders, like locating
the American congress at New York,
which were not corrected.
Au Englishman—But vve are told
that your reporters call to see a public
man, and the public man says he will
not talk—refuses to say a word—and the
reporter goes off aud writes a column
interview with him.
The American—No such reporter
could hold a place fill hours in au Ameri
can newspaper office. The latest out
rage of this sort I have heard of was
when a newspaper correspondent was
introduced to Ibsen at the Grand hotel
iit Christiania. Ibsen said, “Glad to
meet yea, sir,” and picked up his pa
pers and walked away. The reporter
prepared a column and a half inter
view, which when published created
quite a sensation. That journalist was
not au American, but au Englishman.
Au Englishman—But your papers
publish such gaudy headlines—dreadful
things they are.
The American—That reminds me.
Please tell me which of your Loudon
dailies is now making greatest strides
in circulation?
Several Englishmen—Mr. Harins
worth’s Daily Mail.
Tho American —Well, two or three
years ago Mr. Harms worth spent sev
eral mouths in the United states study
ing our cheap newspapers. He returned
to London and started The Mail. He
brought over a number of journalists
from America, anil they are still on his
staff. He has introduced many Ameri
can ideas, including the bold headlines
over his news, aud American methods
of collecting the news to put headlines
on. As you say, liis paper is now grow
ing faster than any oilier in Loudon.
An Englishman—Are you Americans
really going to annex Hawaii?
Tho American—Of course we are.
An Englishman—Then I suppose you
will want Cuba and the Bermudas, the
Bahamas, and everything in sight?
The American—Never fear. We shall
not walk on your toes. We do not want
the Bermudas or the Bahamas. But it
is n strange thing that you English
prick up your ears at the first sugges
tion that the United grates is going to
aum x an island. For many years yon
have been roaming around the world,
gobbling up all the inhabited and unin
habited lands yon could get your dutches
on, until you make your jubilee boasts
of the extent of your possessions, and
just as soon as a little dot of an island
down in the Pacific asks cs to take her
in that she may be saved from Asiatic
domination you lift your hands in horror
at the greediness of these Yankees.
Au Englishman —Wo should have a
good deal more sympathy with yon if
you had concluded the treaty of arbitra
tion with Great Britain. The feeling
over here is that that would have
Strengthened Great Britain before the
world and would in time have strength
ened you.
. ‘The American—The people of the
United States want a t:eafy of arbitra
tion with England, and us soon as cer
tain political changes can he brought
about we will make such a treaty. But
with or without a treaty you people
should recognize the right aud the man
ifest destiny of the United States to as
sume leadership among the western na
tions, to extend our political power and
perhaps our territory. Oar efforts will
be wholly confined to America. We
have no objection to your gobbling up
ail you can get of Asia and Africa, but
you ought not to make faces at us if vve
go ahead on onr side of the water.
Au Englishman—lt is too bad that
your diplomatist* are so rude. Yonr
Bering sea note was positively uncouth.
If such a note had be- ■ scut by one Eu
ropean government to another, it would
have strained their relations. Explana
tions would have been demanded and
apologies. But we don’t quite hold you
Americans responsible for all you say.
The American—We are willing to bo
held responsible, however. The trouble
with you English is that you overlook"
the merits of the question and complain
because vve are not polite. You admit
that we are in the right, in our conten
tion, hut still complain wa are
uncouth. Repair the wr?i:g and yon
will have no occasion to oomphiiu of
our manners.—Walter Wellman in Ctaix
