[Special Correspondence.]
_ Washington, Deo. 20.—Already the
cipltal la buzzing with the preliminary
piyotics of tho-holidays aud the Wliito
B iu30 is being decorated, or, as tho looal
gits say, put in a state of siego for tho
annual midwinter functions, of which
tl o greater,t will bo tho various recep
tions on New Year’s day. Washington
dues not prepare or colobrato like any
other great city in the nation. It is too
far south for winter gayetios and yet
not fnr enough for trdly southern do
ll, gs, and, more than all, tho coaseless
changes in its population have prevent- ,
ett the formation of any distinctively j
individual character ns a city. So many I
currents aro pouring in from all diroo- j
ti ms that, like tho waters of tho lowor
M ississippi, the product of thousands of
variously mineralized streams, tho re
st It is a perfectly neutral solution. One
does not see tho store windows marvol- :
ously illustrated with winter landscapes
and adorned with rich displays, as in
New York and Brooklyn. Thore is no
very groat array of Christmas over-
greens, much less tho snow men and ice
palaces which delight tho youths of
the north. Tho chances aro two to one
that there will bo Bloot or rain, tho Po
tomac water which wo havo to drink is
sure to be muddy, and if eomo of tho
lewer streets aro not flooded wo shall
bo in luck.
Washington Castes*
Tho president and lady, howevor, are
on their best bohavior. Eaoh foreign le
gation observes Christmas after tho ons-
torn of its own land, socioty-ladios re
ceive on New Year’s day, and, as to tur
key, that goes without saying. It is
rt ally after Now Year’s that society does
its prettiest, and tho various grades cros3
and recross in a way that only n nation
al McAllister could describe. Washiug-
tenis by a sort of political fiction set
down as a very democratio oity. Of a
truth there aro here as many castes ns
ir Hindoostuu, and tho odd feature of it
is that the president is in theory of so
cial law at tho head of all of thorn.
T rero is more discussion about tho char-
»• tor and lalont of Mr. Cleveland right
now—in fact, more heated differences
ol opinion—than there aver lias been
siuce liia political career b®"<ui. but ou
ed through tho streets, but seldom or
never in tho crowded portions. It is no
longer a secret that Mr. Cleveland has
a great dread of assassination, and as
of our 23 presidents two havo been
murdered, and tho life of another was
twlco attempted, his many precautions
are not unreasonable. Two assassina
tions and two attempts within 105 years
make as big an average in that lino ns
was made on tho kings of France or
England. i
A Lively Industry.
As to tho tolerably permanent Four
Hundred of tho capital, tho foreign dip
lomats and army and navy officers aro
confessedly at tho head of it As tho
nature of onr government requires that
everything should bo openly disonssed,
and president and cabinet can negotiate
nothing without being called on to send
tho papers to congress, there is little or
no chanco for a diplomat to distinguish
himself here as ho might in tho conrts
Of Europe, where secrecy is in order.
There is, however, overabundant op
portunity for sooial distinction and so- j
curing wealthy brides. And that indns- |
try has by no moans been noglootcd. j
Davy Crockett used to say that in Wash- j
ington the hour at which a man dined
was tho oxponont of his rank—thus:
"Members dine at 6, senators at 7, cab
inet officers at 8 and tho president on j
the next day. ” Is is also related of tho
second Adams that his Yankeo home
routine was so broken np that bo got •
throe days behind and took his “b’ilod |
dinner” on Tuosday nud his baked beans ;
on Wednesday. But this is a dlgros- :
sion. Let .ns to business
This year the president has deoided *
to wholesale tho job, and various recep
tions which havo heretofore had a day
was superiutendout of the NatiouaF Mil
itary aoademy. Ho has a phenomenal
memory of uamos and places and as in
troducer is very rarely at a loss.
After tho season is thus formally
opened there will ho a succession of en
tertainments at tho various legations,
and tho Austrian ombassy expects to fco
unusually' lively, as it will probably
havo fur a guest tho groat Hungarian
magneto, Count Alexander Hadik do
Fntak, who is not only the wealthiest
of his olass, but is supposed to bo tlio
coming man in Hungarian politics. As
to tho groat mass of everyday folks, they
can stand on tho avenuo and Lafnyctto
sqnaro and witness tho oft desoribed
“stately march” ol tho diplomats, urmy
and nnvy officers and jadgos going to
seo tho president, and though they may
not get near enough to shako his hand
they can look ut the famous enst room,
whore Mrs. Abigail A’mns nsod to hang
ont her washing, and where tho mob at
President Jucksou’a lovco stood ou the
ohairs with muddy bents and trod tho
famous big cheese into tho carpet; at
the blno room and tho red room and tho
grand stairway, of which onr society
writers havo said so rnneh. And then,
if tho weather is as vile ns it is three
times out of four hero, tho Washington
dootors will prepare for their annual
harvest, with influenza prevalent, pneu

THE PRESIDENT’S BEDROOM.
ono point all parties and castes in Wash-
it gton are unanimous—that this is tho
n \st exclusive presidential family that
e' er occupied the Wliito House.
In Mr. Cleveland’s first administra
tion there was more social freedom, but
Mrs. Cleveland took on a hugo disgust
at tho publication of family details, and
tl e reaction has carried them to an ex
treme. The natural result is “talk,”
a-..d among the many mean things said
the meanest is that ono of tbe children
is mentally and physically weak. Tho
story is false, both children being qnito
b- ight and healthy; bnt, like that cruel
story which everybody has hoard about
ti.e poet Longfellow's daughter, onco
ft rly started, it seems impossible to get
tl > belief out of tho local public mind.
Franklin Pierco was tho last presi-
dut who habitually walked about the
b sy sections of the city and aeoosted
a juaiiitanccs like a private gentleman.
His successor, both from ago and natn-
r; ; disposition, was of very retired hab
it-, and what might have followed wo
omi only conjecture, for the war and
Lincoln’s murder put an end to presi-
d ntial freedom forever. General Grant

rather short ono at that, xllero is tho
programme of how thoy will bo receiv

in tho city at 11:15; sonators, repre
sentatives and ex-offieials at 11:25; ar
my, navy and marine corps at 11:40;
scientific men at tho head of various
pnblio institutions and about lt> more

2. Society Is asking. "However will he
do it? Ho will need a Bogardns kicker
to keep them moving. ” Consider that
from 2,000 to 4,000 will bo in tho gen
eral throng, that each is entitled to a
shako of tho hand from tho president
nnd lady, and, as tho first comers will
lusist upon it, it is evident that tho last
thousand or two will get a cold shake.
Last year four days—and tolerably long
days for official ceremony—were given
to these various classes, aud to all, .ex-
copt, of oourso, tho general pnblio, spe
cial cards of invitation were issued.

Of courso the invited are not required
on euoh occasions to present their cards
at the door as if thoy wero going to a

and would bo tt great deal more and
very embarrassing confusion wege it not

N. Wilson, who manages things of that
6orfc about the White House. He has
bad many acute predecessors, but it is
only in recent administrations that the
office is really official. Tho colonel is

buildings and grounds, "bat is practical
ly the president’s social aid-de-camp.

well that he was called from West Point
to the same place in this administra
tion. He is an army officer of great ex

Strong Jinn Lund in's Mishap.
HJnlmar Lundlti, an athlcttu young
Chicago Swede who is winning famo as a
professional strong man, narrowly escaped
death during ono of his performances re
cently. Lumliu hna lifted R,500 pounds,
ho says, and has supported a plutform
with 23 men upon It. Such a trifling feat
as bearing tho weight of 20 heavy men on
a plank consequently did not daunt him
in tho least. This was tho feat Lundin
was billed to perform at tho North Side
Turner hall, Chicago, not long ago. Lun
din, faco upward, took his position upon
a mat on tbe stage, resting his weight
upon his bont legs and upon his arms. In
this position be resembled a human table,

the supports of which wero bis legs and
arras. A small supporting trestlo was
placed upon bis cLost, and a very heavy
plank some 20 feet long was balanced
across tho trestle.
Ono end of tho seesaw thus formed was
supported by a box while 20 men each
weighing 160 pounds cautiously ranged
them*olves upon tho plank. Tho box was
then removed. Lundin's herculean frame
was bearing the weight well when tho
n.cn on the plank moved, destroying the
balance. Tbe stage is slightly inclined,
and Lundin saw the plank and 1U ton ami
n half burden slip toward his head. At
tho samo time tho spectators who wero in
tently watching his muscles 6aw tho el

curtain dropped, with the spectators In a

load slipping toward his faco, ho feared It
would leave tlio trestlo and crush bis head.

p nnk toward his foot and snvo his lifo

Not long ago Lundin was earning $1.60
a day carrying car wheels at Pullman.
Ho could lift and carry moro weight than
six men could movu nnd decided to bo-
como a professional strong man. It Is not
bollovcd that LumUn’s Injuries will affect
him permanently.
