Banks County Journal. VOL. I. 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.

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. j Female Regulator | For all diseases peculiar to women and girls, j It Tones up the Nerves, Improves the Ap- V petite, Enriches the Blood, and gives Life, V Health and Strength.

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 Telford until she w.i- married to Mr. Jacob S. Richey on February 18l!t, 1875.

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 effect of a marvelous sunset The anther of this project, which alone would cov er the space of the entire exposition grounds, is Herr liichbsnuu. from Ft Petersburg.-—John Ehleit m Chicago Times-Herald Gon'.d's Old Wheelbarrow.

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.
