A JAPANESE BALL
A3 BEEN AND DESCRIBED BY A
YOUNG AMERICAN.
Royal PrlnceMtw In Court Drew —Chlnmu

Dunning on the Floor—•
The Hupper.
fPrlintn letter in New York Pout.]
Ami now for the people. I wish I
sould give you a good idea of the aceno
the bull room pre; -tiled, dressed with
.ayly coin-o'l Hag and filled with >i crowd
n which wen- innig.i-d nearly all the na
liona ilks of the world. It looked as I
imagine some huge fancy fair or ball
migtrt, bit then the |«oplo all hud the
idvantate of being in their own costume,
imi carried them oil Ixittor than any mm
luerader. Eirst, the Japanese officers
mil gentlemen in go.d coats, really very
ittle exap reralion, for most of them bad
meh profusion of gold lace that you could
tee little doth, and thia little was cov
ered with insignia and orders as a rule
I lie four royal princesses, dressed in the
new revived) court dress, and iiceom
panted by six or eight maids of honor in
the same dress.
This court-dress consists of loose crim
ion trousers, which are so wide that
they look like a loose skirt, and loose
jackets of gorgeous material with im
mense sleeves, the hair is done in two
iroad, Hat plaits, which stick out on
either side of the head rind join in a single,
rather careless twist which hangs straight
jown the back. Altogether, it is Very
ugly and unbecoming. Only the prin
dsses and their train were dressed in
this style. Many of the Japanese ladies
wore beautiful European costumes, but
they <lo not look well in them, having
neither the height nor the figures neces
sary for them. The Japanese ladies
dressed in their own ordinary style of
costume of costly and beautifully material
looked very picturesque and pretty,
much better than their sisters in the at
tempt at foreign style, to my mind.
Their dresses consisted of the ordinary
kimomi. imide of elegant silk crepe of a
soft shade of grey, with a simple white
lichu at the liir- at. and plaits of some
soft white material at the feet, where
the skirt separated slightly in walking.
Ihe Chinese minister and his suite in
their court costume were walking gravely
and slowly about with their red buttoned
hats and most elegantly-brocaded silk and
Satin garments, looking for all the world
us if they had stopped oil' the pedestal of
some tea shop sign. Koreans with high
hats made of something that looks like
wiregau e; Itussian, 1 reach and English
naval and military officers, in handsome
uniforms, one or two United States naval
men, in plain blue with brass buttons,
looking rich and well to me, compared
with lite scarlet coats and profuse gold
Ince, and a mass of undistinguished hu
manity in the regulation black dress suit
made up the remainder of the assemblage.
All kinds of dancing could be seen on
the lloor. Some of the Japanese ladies
ami gentlemen had been practicing for
some weeks, and went through the square
diutees well. A few essayed the. waltz,
and one naval officer, with the facility in
dancing that seems to go with all naval
men, got on remarkably well. One little
Jap girl danced the lancers in good style
with the regular Japanese clogs on—a
rather difficult feat, 1 think. The Ger
mans spun around. the French hooped
up and down, the English walked se
dately round each other, and the Ameri
cans danced. But the supper room was
perhaps the most strange and curious
sight of the evening. The supper itself
was very fine, being supplied with an art
istic 1 rettch cook, and consisted of every
thing imaginable in the edible line The
Japs swarmed about the tables like Hies,
and seizing a plate would shovel upon It
everything within reach, oysters, salad,
ieo-eream, boned turkey, jelly, cold
fowl, ( harlotte de Russo, etc., aud then,
elevating the plate to about the level of
their mouths, cram the food down in an
indiscriniinnte mass.
As soon as they had eaten all they could
possibly hold, they put the plate down on
the floor wherever they happened to be
and left it there. Champagne llowi d
freely, and the Japs seemed very fond of
it, gulping it down glass after giass. and I
saw one or two navigating the polished
floor, among empty plates, with great dif
ficulty.
Many of the Japs, after having eaten all
they could, filled their pockets with the
most t aiily carried viands, doubtless for
the ladies nt home. We left a little before
1 o'clock to take the special train back to
Yokohama, and so did not see the finish;
but 1 imagine sonic of the Japs must have
become rather tipsy if they kept on as
they were going when 1 left the supper
room
I’rof. McC. Stewart, of the Liberia col
lege, delivered an address, taking for his
sub,ecl “i itieria and the I ongo in Af
rican Redemption. ” He called attention
to Hie fact that new interests had been
awakened among Americans in Africa's
advancement. To day Americans knew
more about it than ever before. “The
people of Liberia, " he continued, are fins
spooinn-ns ot humanity. We have 15,009
American - Liberians, 5.000 liberated
slaves, and 800,000 aborigines within a
territory as large as New England, New
York, and New Jersey. The develop
ment of our country physically, morally,
and intellectually has been exceedingly
rapid of late.. The intiuence of civiliza
tion has been so groat upon the abor
igines that whereas years ago war ex
isted between them and the American
emigrants, now their relations are cordial
ami there have been already many cases
of- intermarriage The people have every
tiling to hope for from the civilizing in
fluence of friends on this continent
“For a quarter of a century the devel
opment of t iberia has been purely literary.
Now we go further and enter the agricul
tural field, and we shall endeavor to de
velop the internal Industries of the coun
ter. In time I believe that the Congo and
Niger valley will be united by water,
railroads aud commercial lines of all de
scriptions. In the opening up of this re
gion Manley did a work which wiii ren
der him immortal among those of earth.
When it is known that the Congo terri
tory is as large in extent ami population
as the I nited Males, and that the river al
most ranks with tire Amazon and Missis
sippi in the extent of its water ways, one
can realize its importance. God has laid
the foundation for a new civilization in
Africa. ”
Cider Instead of Beer.
[New York Times.]
It is a wonder to me. and I suppose it
always will la-, that cider is not drank
more, especially when it is so cheap. It is
cheaper than beer, and a good deal m- re
healthful. In • act. phvsieians say that it
is the mi st healthful drink known, when
fresh, of course, but a laborer will send
around to the corner bar room and buy
beer or ale. when cider is 5 cents a quart
How do you account for that? Notwith
standing the hundreds of thousands of
barrels brought to New York, the figures
do not begin to compare with those ot
beer. Another peculiar fact is that some
persons will drink stuff called eider that
never was cider and never will lie. There
is not much sale for that outside the bar
room. however. If a man wants cider
he need not spend his money for imita
tions this year, that is sure.
With vinegar, the ease is different.
Cider-vinegar costs money. It must be al
lowed to ferment from six months to a
year, and the shrinkage is about 80 per
cent extensive storage room must be
used,. and considerable capital employed.
But if every year was like this, we could
undersell doctored vinegar, which is made
from whisky, molasses, and other stuff.
It is cheap, but not harmful, I understand.
Nevertheless the housekeeper who has
used cider vinegar wants cider vinegar,
ami not doctonal «U4IS~
