HTijr the Presidential Family Is So £x> elusive—Probability of a Cold Shako—At the Various Legations—Things Visible In the Distance, [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 monia iinminont and worse things visi ble in tlio distance. J. H. Beadle, WINTER BASEBALL BRIEFS. 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 Ard General Harrison occasionally walk- , THE PRESIDENT’S WORKROOM. each aro to be crowded into ono, and a rather short ono at that, xllero is tho programme of how thoy will bo receiv ed on Now Year’s day: Vico president, cabinet and diplomatio corps at 11 a. m.; supremo court and all other judges 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 sorts of eminent folks at 12; veterans of all wars nnd oldest inhabitants at 12:15, and at 12:25 tho great pnblio will ho admitted and havo the run till 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. Matter of Ceremonies. Of courso the invited are not required on euoh occasions to present their cards at the door as if thoy wero going to a circus show, and so there is some fraud and would bo tt great deal more and very embarrassing confusion wege it not for tho discerning eye of Colonel John 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 by commission in charge of public buildings and grounds, "bat is practical ly the president’s social aid-de-camp. Ho filled this position dnring tho first Cleveland administration and did it so well that he was called from West Point to the same place in this administra tion. He is an army officer of great ex perience and during the interregnum Next season Champion Corbett will cap tain an independent baseball nine.

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, HJALMAR LUNDIN’. 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 bow joint of Ills right arm glvo It bont, not outward nnd buckwurd in tho natural mnnnor, but forward. Tho loft arm fol lowed. It looked us if both worn broken. Tho plsnk sank on the prostrate man, nnd 20 men fell about him. Tho musla stop ped. Several women fainted, nnd tho curtain dropped, with the spectators In a semipanic. When-IfUndin saw tho plank and its load slipping toward his faco, ho feared It would leave tlio trestlo and crush bis head. IIo lundo a desperate effort to henvo tho p nnk toward his foot and snvo his lifo nnd dislocated both his olbows In tho at tempt. 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. CHECKERS AND CHESS. mm m • :© !•& i M m 1 « wm*i m a i -1 fipfllsB m ©|j m m m i. $$ Whito. Black to movo nnd win.
