NEW IDEAS IN WASHINGTON
OFFICIAL SOCIETY
Social Customs That Have Become Unwritten
Laws Set Aside.
Washington. Deo. 3. —The entire
corps diplomatique with the ladies of
their families took tea with Mrs.
Roosevelt one evening- this week, in
response to invitations issued ten days
before through the State Department.
This bringing of the diplomatic circle
and the President's family together in
a semi-informal manner in advance of
the regular season, is a comparatively
new idea, inaugurated by Mrs. Roose
velt two years ago. Being not laid
down in the unwritten code of social
etiquette, the religious observance of
which to the minutest detail, it is as
the laws of the Modes and Persians.
It is an entirely gratuitous attention
on the part of the hostess and en
ables the foreigners to make the ac
quaintance of the heads of the “Amer
ican Court” in a more personal and
agreeable way than would be possible
at a state dinner.
Foreigners Take to Turkey.
Speaking of the diplomats—it is in
teresting to note the growing tenden
cy among them to observe Thanksgiv
ing Day, that celebration which is so
peculiarly and characteristically Amer
ican. For example: At the Chinese
legation this year, instead of the usual
stewed blrdsnests, hundred-year-old
eggs and other delicacies of the Flow
ery Kingdom, the Thanksgiving din
ner consisted of roast turkey, cranber
ry sauce, celery, cider, mince and
pumpkin pies and plum pudding. The
bias-eyes Celestial cook who achieved
it was extremely proud of his success,
"alle same Melican chef,” to quote his
own words. For the last five years
nothing In the way of Chinese food has

, Jf ■ ■ MISS SA\NI E REITER,
Sister of I,nly Ciimon, Who Married Major Campbell Last Week,
been allowed to appear at the legation
dinner on Thanksgiving Day. It is
a delicate compliment to Occidental
custom, inaugurated by Minister
Wu, and gladly continued by his suc
cessor, Sir Chemtung Liang-Cheng.
Another diplomat who takes pride
in the fact that ever since its estab
lishment his legation has observed
Thanksgiving as fully as any Yankee,
is Senor Don Gonzale de Quesada of
Cuba. Their dinner guests on that
day were the minister's father and
mother-in-law and the Marquise del
lteal Socarro of Havana.
At the Korean legation, too —notwith-
standing troublous times in the Land
of the Morning Calm, all went merry
as a marriage bell. Though “turkey
and trlmmins ” were conspicuous by
their absence and rice figured promi
nently in the menu, it was neverthe
less a genuine Thanksgiving feast,
thoroughly enjoyed by the Korean
Minister and Mme. Mlnhui Ohoo and
the little Choo and their special friends,
Mr. Teh Moo Sin, Mr. Seungku Ye,
Mr. Chong Moo Hong and Mr. Chigu
Han.
“Mrs. Root's Idea.”
The Secretary of State and Mrs. Hay
will give the first cabinet dinner of
•the year in honor of President and
Mrs. Roosevelt, on Monday evening,
Jan. 10, when the new method of en-
Itertnining the Chief Executive and
his wife without the additional mem
bers of the Cabinet circle will, be em
ployed for the first time. This new
departure in olflclal dinners was sug
gested three years ago by Mrs. Root,
wife of the then Secretary of War,
who argued that it was the right of
each hostess to make her company
large or small, as her dining room
might accommodate, and to invite her
personal friends if she choose, or other
interesting people outside the court cir
cle to meet the President and his
Lady. It must be rather monotonous

j idea." as the innovation is called, will
I be faithfully carried out this winter
and will doubtless result in h series
of more enjoyable dinner parties than
our Presidents have heretofore en
joyed, they being debarred by official
etiquette from accepting any other din
ner invitations. The one restriction
to the new order of things, which sav
ors less of Republican simplicity, is
that a list of the guests must be sub
mitted beforehand (to the President
and Mrs. Roosevelt, so that none will
he invited who are not acceptable to
them.
To Prove His Innocence,
Senor Don Luis F. Corea, minister
from Nicaragua, whose marriage to the
beautiful Mrs. Lee Jordon of Macon,
was postponed on account of some
sdandalous charges made against him,
has gone to his country to secure proof
of his innocence. He will return in
time to take his place among other
diplomats at the White House on New
Year’s Day, and it is understood that
the marriage will shortly follow. It
is said that Mrs. Jordon has never
doubted the handsome Nicai'aguan and
was not in favor of a postponement
of the wedding, but Senor Corea de
clined to lead her to the altar until
his name could be cleared from
calumny. The future home had been
secured and partly furnished, when
that prince of cowards, the anonymous
letterwriter, got in his work. If his
object was simply to annoy, he has
certainly accomplished his purpose; if
blackmail was the end in view he will
go unrewarded. Senor Corea’s case
is by no means the first of its kind in
the diplomatic circle. Several times in
the past similar slanders have A<a#n
mysteriously circulated, but never
■traced to their source.
The (anipbell-Letter Wedding.
The much-talked-of marriage of
Miss Nancy Leiter at last, like grim
death, “came suddenly.” Even after
the gallant Major had arrived in
Washington and secured his marriage
license from the District authorities,
the local papers of the evening before
the wedding announced that the mar
riage would probably take place early
in December.
Sometimes it is pleasant to retrac*
one’s own words. Major Colin Powys
Campbell, the happy bridegroom, is not
the elderly cousin of the Duke of Ar
gyie, who married the Princess Louise,
as stated in my previous letter, but is
nearly a score of years younger than
his distant relative, Major Colin Charles
Campbell. Surely, it is better to be a
not aged bridegroom than to be
brother-in-law to any King on earth.
“Colin Campbell” is a name intimately
associated with the history of India.
Everybody remembers the Sir Colin
Campbell, 'who with his Highlanders,
marched to the relief of Lucknow, the
pipers playing the battle-song of the
clan, “The Campbells Are Coming,”
The gallant Colin Campbell of to-day
is a British officer who has seen hard
service In India and been twice severe
ly wounded. He is a son of the late
Queen Victoria’s favorite clergyman,
the Rev. Dr. Colin Campbell, of Glas
gow. who frequently officiated at Bal
moral. Those who had Imagined Nan
ny Letter's husband as the typical
fighting "Britisher" in appearance were
somewhat disappointed on seeing the
bridegroom. He is blonde and slender
and barely as tall as his wife; but one
should not judge of hi* habitual ex
pression by the idiotic look of bliss su
preme on the face of the newly mar
ried. The pair have a long journey be

SIDNEY HERBERTS LETTER
Facts of Interest to War Veterans and Others.
Pine Crest Villa, Maitland, Fla., Dec.
3. —One week from to-day I shall cele
brate my birthday, having been born
on Dec. 10, 1832. I see that my old
associate, Rev. Dr. Theodore L. Cuy
ler of Brooklyn—only ten years older—
has been telling about the wonderful
changes he has witnessed and the
great men and eminent women he has
rnet. And yet I have met several great
men and eminent women that did not
cross his pathway, one of whom was
Daniel Webster, the grandest man I
ever met; and Jenny Lind, whom he
and I heard on her first night at Cas
tle Garden, New York, who was the
noblest woman I have ever known. I
mean by this, that in some respects
they excelled all other men and women
I have ever known. Ah! me, what
an encyclopedia a man becomes who
was born ahead of the railroads and
telegraphs of modern times; who knew
New York city as a town and Detroit
and Chicago as villages, and the great
West as a wilderness. When I first
knew Boston hardly a carriage wheel
disturbed the quiet of Sunday services.
And, strange as it may seem, I am
almost a pioneer in Florida. I made
my first visit and “write up" for the
Morning News in 1875, and there was
not then a decent railroad in the state,
but they were as good as could be
had with the then limited patronage.
All South Florida below Sanford was
partially a wilderness then. Sanford
was unknown, but sprang up like a
young giant, and with its little nar
row-gauge railroad to Orlando, swal
lowed up enterprising Mellonville.
Ocala was reached via the Ochlawaha
river and Tampa via Cedar Key. I
came to Alabama, to visit my sister,
in 1869, and yet I have known more
eminent Confederate soldiers and
statesmen than almost any other living
man, and have many letters from them

The Morning News Item about Hon.
William Wirt of Virginia, his service
as Attorney General. He succeeded
Richard Rush of Pennsylvania, under
Monroe, on Nov. 13, ISI7, and was him
self succeeded by John McPherson
Berrien of Georgia, on March 9. 1829,
under Jackson. Cabinet changes have
always been common, and some times
uncommon, ns in Tyler’s administra
tion, which, I think, takes the blue rib
bon. Including ad interims, he had
seven Secretaries of State, and the
same number of Secretaries of the
Treasury and of the Navy; five Secre
taries of War; three Attorneys Gen
eral and the same number of Postmas
ters General. Washington’s first ad
ministration had only one actual
change. Timothy Pickering of Penn
sylvania, succeeding Sami. Osgood of
Massachusetts, but there were several
changes in the second administration.
Jefferson’s second term ranks next to
Washington’s first term, as there were
only two changes. Roosevelt has
changed all but Hay, Hitchcock and
Wilson.
The Atlanta Constitution of Nov. 20
contained a striking illustration, “The
South’s Back Yard.” In it was “The
South,” a pretty little girl, and at the
gate was Roosevelt mounted on a
negro, on all fours and labeled “The
Political Negro.” Miss South says to
Teddy, "You may come in, but you
must tie your horse outside.” This
reminds me of a story they used to
tell on Gen. William Mahone, C. S. A.,
after he became a Republican. It is
stated that when he was going up to
the gute of heaven he met a negro
who said he could not get In because
he was dis-mo-unlted. "O, I’ll fix
you all right,” said the General. “Get
down on all fours and I’ll ride you In.”
The negro obeyed, but when the gate
was reached. Peter, like Miss South,
said, “Dismount and come in.” The
enemies of Gen. Mahone said that was
the way the Republicans rode into of
fice on the backs of the unsuspecting
negroes.
A Jacksonville, Fla., newspaper. In
noticing the arrival there of Comman
der Albon Chase Hodgson, U. S. N.,
refers to him as a “retired officer,” and
as having been In “command of the
United States cruiser Brooklyn" In the
Santiago battle. Commander Hodgson
is an Athens. Ga., boy, and not on the
retired list, but detailed as lighthouse
inspector of the Sixth district, with
headquarters at Charleston, S. C. Nor
was he in command of the Brooklyn
at Santiago, but occupied a subordi
nate position to the commander, per%
haps that of navigator or flag lieu
tenant. • * *rhe Times-Dispatch
of Richmond, Va., feels sure that Pat
rick Clark of Lucky Hill, In Fauquier
county, Virginia, Is the oldest Confed
erate soldier, as he was born in Ire
land in 1794. He enlisted in the army
when only 18 years old, served in the
war of 1812 and in the Mexican War,
after which he lived in St. Louis.
In the Civil War he was in the Sixth
Louisiana Infantry and served until
•the surrender, in the army of North
ern Virginia. He is now 110 years old,
blind and deaf and living on a Mex
ican War pension of sl2 a month.
Mr. James Neill sends me from Se
attle, Wash., a notice by a newspaper
of that far-off city which says: “The
attack against Longstreet is one of
the saddest chapters of the long story
of Southern intolerance. • • * to
gratify the malice of distorted politi
cal bigotry. This rancour pursued
Gen. Longstreet to the grave." Now,
so far as I know, from personal ob
servation and a long and Intimate ac
quaintance with Gen. Longstreet, it
was not “the malice of distorted politi
cal bigotry” that pursued him to the
grave. Other Confederate generals be
came Republicans and officeholders un
der Republican presidents and they
were censured only for certain acts
which their old comrades felt were un
just and discreditable. As to Gen.
Longstreet, his early career in New
Orleans after the war was the sole
foundation for the bitter feeling
against him. While at Blounts Springs,
Ala., In the '7os, I met Judge Ogden,
a venerable and distinguished citizen
of Nsw Orleans; his son, Gen. Ogden,
and other citizens, and from them
learnad the story of Gen, Ix>ngtreet’s
career there. Unless they misrepresent
matters to me—and they were all hon
orabls gentlemen—Gen. longstreet
pursued a course in that crisis which
fully Justified his old comrades to put
him under the ban.

of the first number of the Maryland
Journal and Baltimore Advertiser, now
the Baltimore American, published on
Friday, Aug. 30, 1773.’’ And yet this
“copy” is simply a fac-simile reprint
recently made of an ancient newspa
per. Any sensible editor ought to know
that ancient copies of newspapers are
not numerous, and are mostly found In
old-established libraries or valuable
private collections. The News says the
Advertiser (1773) states that the King
had appointed Patrick Toyne, Esq., to
be Governor of West Florida. This is
an error, as Peter Chester was Gov
ernor of West Florida and Gen. James
Grant was Governor of East Florida.
He resigned in 1771, and Lieut. Gov.
Moultrie served until 1774. when Pat
rick Tonyn, not “Toyne,” became Gov
ernor. The Historical Society of New
York has recently given the public
some important information about the
oft-heard-of Ulster County (New York)
fac-simile. People get hold of one of
these issues and imagine it is a family
relic of old times, and they carry it to
some editor, who falls an easy prey to
their “old family heirloom.”

cisco that Maj. Gen. J. F. Wade, U. S.
A-, had arrived from the Philippines,
en route to New York, to take com
mand of the "Department of the East,”
is misleading. Brig. Gen. Fred D.
Grant, U. S. A., Is in command of that
department, and Gen. Wade goes to the
command of the “Division of the At
lantic,” a more important position.
* * * Botetourt county, Virginia,
has just unveiled a handsome Con
federate monument at Fincastle, in
memory of twelve companies that went
to the war from that county. The
Herald publishes in full the eloquent
and appropriate address of gallant
Maj. Phil F. Brown of Blue Ridge
Springs, the orator of the occasion.
* * * Mrs. Nellie Gray, in her
Woman’s Department of the Jackson
ville (Fla.) Metropolis, answers all
kinds of inquiries, and seldom falls
Into an error. But In answer to an in
quiry as to who "held” the title of
full general in the United States army
she errs in using the term “conferred,"
instead of "held.” It is true, as she
says that Grant first “held” that title,
but it was “conferred” upon Washing
ton long before, but he declined it and
died a lieutenant general. Mrs. Gray
also gives Washington, Grant, Sher
man, Sheridan and Schofield at the
lieutenant generals. She should have
added Scott, by brevet, Miles, Young
and Chaffee, the latter now chief of
staff, with the rank of lieutenant gen
eral.
The widow' of a distinguished Con
federate major general asks me about
Gen. Albert Pike. He was one of the
three dozen Yankees who became gen
erals, lieutenants, major generals and
brigadier generals In the Confederate
arrny. He was born In Boston, Mass.,
in 1809, but in early life went to Ar
kansas to practice law and became a
leader at the bar. During the Mexican
War he was captain of an Arkansas
volunteer company, and in the Civil
War, owing to his acquaintance with
the Indian?, he was assigned to duty
as brigadier general to organize them
into regiments and put them Into serv
ice. After the war he W'as editor for
a time of the Memphis (Tenn.) Appeal,
but later moved to Washington, b. C.,
where he died in 1891. Gen. Pike was
a poet and writer of more than ordi
nary ability, while as a Mason, he wan
illustrious, holding the highest offices,
and his work on Masonry Is consid
ered a standard authority. His ver
sion of "Dixie” was a stirring and
popular war song. •• • The Army

I am glad to see that the “fire drlH"
substitute, at least, is to be used in
the Savannah public schools. Where
there Is music for the marching out I
know of nothing better than “Dixie,"
as it is inspiring as well as lively, and
will move the children rapidly but in
good order. * * * The American Boy
of Detroit, Mich., for December con
tains another installment of four illus
trated pages on “My Four Years at
West Point.” I hope this valuable se
ries of articles will be published in
book form, as the illustrations are pho
tographs from life, and give much
needed information as to cadet life at
the Military Academy.
G. Spratley contributes a page article
on “Gen. Nathaniel Greene,” and the
portrait used in the article has under
it his autograph as “Nath Green.” The
article closes thus: “By request his
body was carried to Savannah for in
terment and, amidst universal sorrow,
he was laid to rest with military hon
ors. The North gave him birth, the
South holds his ashes, but to the whole
country belongs his fame.”
