affair. The attendance never was greater.
Costumes of the ladies exceedingly brilliant.
Breakfast tor the diplomats at Secretarv

never appeared to better advantage.
"Washington, January 1. The "White
House has seldom, if ever, presented a more
brilliant spectacle than it did to-day on the
occasion of the President's Kew Year's re
ception. Special pains were taken with the
decorations, and the beautiful suits of par
lors where the reception was held never ap
peared to better advantacc. There was a
profusion of flowers and plants, and they
were distributed with charming effect. The
choicest flowers were placed in the blue par
lor, where the receiving party stood, but
the most elaborate floral decorations were in
the cast room, where the visitors spent a
few minutes in social converse, after having
paid their respects. The mantels were
banked with bricht-hued flowers and fes
toons ot grasses, and ferns were suspended
from tue large chandeliers.
Tall palms were placed in the window re
cesses and in the corners, and tropical
plants of all kinds lined the corridor run
ning through the center of the house. The
large divan in the east room was ornament
ed with a beautiful vase containing a large
palm of different hues. Part of the lower
floor was illuminated by gas, but the sun
light was given full play in the cast room.
The weather was bright, sunshiny and
cool, and, in fact, everything was most au
spicious. THE EECEPTIOIT COMMENCES.
The reception began at 11 o'clock, at
which hour the receiving party descended
the stairs and took their places in the blue
parlor. As they appeared in sight the Ma
rine Band, which was stationed in the main
hall, started ".Hail to the Chief," and con
tinued playing it until the party had taken
their positions. , A passage way was made
for them through the crowd that had al
ready gathered in the house. They came
in the tollowing order: Colonel "Wilson and
Lieutenant Duval, of the army; the Presi
dent and Miss Bayard, Secretary Bayard

Postmaster General Dickinson.
They took their places with the President

SOME OF ME COSTUMES.
The President wore a black Prince Albert
euit, with a black tie. Mrs. Cleveland wore
a beautiful robe of pale pink faille, made
with round train, the corsage rounded at the
top, and short sleeves. The front of the
skirt was draped in silver embroidered net
that had a Jriuge of bugles at the foot; on
either side were plain panels of soft French
gray silk, embroidered in a pattern of rose
buds in silver. The back of the panels was
edged with heavy Russian fur that com
menced at the waist line and continued
around the pink train. The back of the
dress was princess shaped, with pink folds
on the waist, fastened with pearl embroid
ery. The front was jacket shaped, rounded,
and fell over the full vest of pink silk,
draped with white net. The sleeves of pink
were short cuffs, edged on the arm with pearl
bands. The low body was edged with heavy
fur. She wore a diamond necklace and a
diamond ttar in her hair, that was dressed
in loops on top of her head. Her gloves
were soft pearl color.
Miss Bayard, who stood next, wore a
short dress of blue brocade, with pointed
body, back and front, upon which were laid
folds of gauze. Sprays of white lilac
adorned the body, and a kirtle of gauze was
draped about the upper part of the skirt.
The sleeves were cut to the elbow, and her
hair was dressed high with a blue feather.
DKESSES OF SECRETARIES' WIVES.
Mrs. Fairchild wore a trained dress of
plain colored silk, the body cut low, and the
train was of the silk. The front was draped
with frills of lace, and tne petticoat of dull
white satin. Across the front of the low
body was tied a fichu of lace, knotted at one
side.
Mrs. "Whitney wore a superb gown of
white brocade, made with a high bodice and
a train. Down the front of the bodice and
Etirt were folds of vellow satin and gold
embroidery. The high collar was fastened
with a three-stone diamond pin. She wore
a great diamond star in the gold embroidery
of the bodice, and a diamond spray in her
hair. On the shoulder was a large ruby set
with diamonds.
Mrs. Dickinson's dress was pale green
silk, embroidered in silver, with a train of
the same material. The front was draped
in pale green tulle, and the low body was
draped in tulle. She wore a black ribbon
about her throat.
The usual Cabinet receptions were held
this afternoon. The British Legation was
represented by Mr. Michael Herbert, Charge
d' Affaires, and Mr. George Barclay. The
most striking costumes were those worn by
the representatives of China, Russia, France
n irt imA Hn1 1 n XX a am TL 1 Z Tl
UUU WUlCt. "uujt, AAH3BICU O.UU11 JX11SD,
the new Persian, however, attracted the
most attention. The column was headed by
Count Fare, the Italian Minister, the oldest,
in point of residence, at this capital, of those
in attendance. It was explained that Mr.
Preston, the Haytian Minister, who is Dean
of the Corps, was prevented from taking his
accustomed place at the head of the line by
reason of pressing business which required
his presence in Kew York.
A BREAKFAST AT BAYARD'S.
Secretary Bayard presented the diplomats
to the President and Mrs. Cleveland, and
then departed to his residence, to preside at
a breakfast given in their honor. He left
the White House iu company with his
daughters. Colonel Wilson and Lieutenant
Duvall then took a place nearthe 'President
and Mrs. Cleveland, and introduced all who
followed.
The Justices of the Supreme Court,
headed by Chief Justice Fuller, ciine first,
and were f .llowed in rapid succession by
the Justices of the Court of Claims and the
Judiciary of the District of Columbia.
.Nearly all the Judges were in attendance,
the principal absentee being Justice
Matthews, who is still confined to his resi
dence by ill health.
The next feature of the reception the army
and navy was probably the most interest
ing of all. The army officers were first
presented. - The recent affliction in the
family of Major General Schofield, com
manding the army, prevented his presence,
and the line was headed by Brigadier Gen
eral Hagner (retired), Brigadier General
Benct. Chief of Ordnance, the senior rank
ing officers in the city. If early all the offi
cers stationed in this vicinity were present,
and of course all were in full uniform.
Among those in line were Generals Drum,
Kclton, MacFeely, Baird, MoKeever and
many younger officers, who havfe made
records in campaigns against the Indians.
The column of naval officers was headed by
Admiral Porter and Eear Admiral Jouette,
Bear Admiral Eussell and Commodores
Walker, Sicard, Melville and Colonel Mc
Cawley, occupied places near the head of the
line.
CONGRESSMEN NOT SO TI.ENTY.
Senators and Representatives were as
signed a place ahead of the army and navy,
but they were nearly all late and took
places wherever most convenient. They
were less in number than usual. Among
them were Senators Daniels, Cockrell, Call,
Paddock, Payne, Morrill, Walthall, Sher
man, Palmer, Manderson, Davis and teller,
and Beprcsentatives Burrows, Johnson, Kil
gore, Parson, Herbert, Wilkins, Jackson,
Mills, Cannon, Thompson of California,
Wheeler, Cowles, Bacon, Mansur, Yoder,
Ketcham, Farquhar, Lyman, Lodge, Sow
den, Thompson of Ohio, Martin, Gear,
Baker, Eyan, Morrow and JCutcheon.
The Congresional delegation was followed
closely by the Commissioners of the District
of Columbia, officers of the Smithsonian In
stitution and of all the executive depart
ments. Among these walked Assistant
Secretaries Thompson andMaynard,General
Stevenson, General Knott, Assistant Secre
taries Eives and Adee, Solicitor General
Jenks, Prof. Gallaudet, Librarian Spofford,
and Commissioners, Cooley, Bragg and
Schoonmaker, of the Inter-State Commerce
Commission. The close of the official line
was composed of the veterans of the War of
1846, the G. A. E.. and the members of the
Oldest Inhabitants' Association.
So far the reception had occupied over an
hour and a half, and the President and Mrs.
Cleveland had kept up a constant hand
shaking. The reception was, however, just
about half over as, at 1250 o'clock, the
outer doors were thrown open and the gen
eral public was admitted. The first comers
of this vast crowd had taken places at the
outer gates before 10 o'clock. The atten
dance was larger than on any similar occa
sion during the present administration.
The reception closed at a o clocc, and a
few guests invited by the President joined
the receiving party in a light lunch served
in the upper corridor.
MAYOR BOCHE'S EEPLY.
Ho Outlines it New Lino of Action In Kcgnrd
to Annrchisllc Sleetlnc The His
tory of the naymarket Slut
Not be Repeated.
Chicago, January 1. The New Year
was opened in Chicago by Mayor Boche
grappling promptly with the latest phase
of the Anarchist problem. The new devel
opment was the decision by Master in
Chancery Windes the last day of the old
year that the Anarchists, under the name
of the Arbeiter Bund, had a right to hold
their meetings, but declining to recommend
an injunction restraining the police from
interfering with gatherings, although sug
gesting that one might not improperly be
granted by higher authority.
The next move on the premises, it was
generally expected, would be an elaborate
decision bv Judge Tuley on the report of
Master Windes. Mayor Boche to-day took
time by the forelock by making the Mas
ter's report a text for a letter of instructions
to the police department as follows:
Mayor's Office,
Chicago, January 1, 1SS9. (
George TV. Hubbard, Superintendent of 1'ollce:
Dear Sin After reading the report of
Master in Chancery Windes in relation to the
holding of public meetings, I instructed the
Corporation Counsel to convey to the Court
the idea that if the Court believes under tbo
evidence that the Arbeiter Bund has a. legal
and lawful right to hold public meetings, we
wish the Court so to declare; and if the officers
of the city have been exercising unusual au
thority, they should De so advised, as I or they
do not intend to act illegally or deprive any
person of bis rights upon a mere technicality.
We do not propose, under any circumstances,
to deprive any class of citizens of their consti
tutional rights, but the Police Department
must necessarily be governed by experience. It
is your duty to inquire, if you believe a man is
about to commit a murder ora burglary, or any
other criminal offense, and to take steps to pro
vent such act. As the public is not in posses
sion of the information that the Police Depart
inent has, it is impossible for the community to
determine what the real intention of the An
archist organizations may be.
The1 good order of the society, and life and
property are in your hands. We do not desire
to again experience difficulties like those we
have had in the past. We must not offer en
couragement to such meetings and such pro
ceediogs as the Supreme Court of this State
has said led up to the Haym&rket riot, and the
unfortunate consequences; and it is to be hoped
that the courts will draw the line in a definite
way. so that we may have instructions, and if
we have not sufficient authority under existing
laws, the responsibility must rest with others
and not with us. All departments of the city
government should act strictly in conformity
with the law as laid down by the courts.
John A Rociie, Mayor.
FOOL PLAY SUSPECTED.
A Physician Thinks Thnt Ira Scjler May
Have Been Murdered.
tSrECIAI, TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH.
Claeion, January 1. Ira Seylor, better
known as'VFisher," employed at the Loomis
House, became intoxicated last evening
and was found in a barn this morning in n
dying condition. Medical skill was of no
avail, and he died to-day, the attending
physician thinks from concussion of the
brain. If true it is a mystery whether it
was caused by accident or by foul means.
A post mortem will show whether the
physician is right or whether the effect of
the liquor killed him.
EXCITEMENT IN MEXICO.
The Authorities Overrun Willi Inquiries Con
cerning; the Reported Clerical Uprising.
City of Mexico, January 1. The false
report crieinattae in Chihuahua of a cleri
cal uprising in this city caused tremendous
excitement here. Many merchants and
bankers in other places sent telegrams in
quiring about the report.
The Government is making every possible
effort to discover the author of the hoax,
who will be punished if caught. It is
believed that the hoax was the work of a
clique of men who had been expelled from
the city as suspicious characters.

that there were no objections.

A BIKE CROWDED WITH SPECTATORS
"Swipsey, my deah boy, what do you
propose to weah to dinnah to-day?" asked
"English," the dude, after he and Swipes
had retired for the night, or rather the
morning, on the floor of the mailing room
of a newspaper office. "
They had been out celebrating the death
of the old and the birth of the new year,
and Swipes was not in the best humor as he
had picked up a live Jackson cracker on
Fifth avenue by the wrong end. He didn't
know it was loaded until after he had recov
ered from the shock of the explosion.
"Wear? My clo'es, of course!" he gruffly
muttered.
"English" was surprised at Swipsey's
answer, but said: "Do you know I wore
my dwess suit last yeah, and those vulgah
boys threw pie at me and ruined it."
"Well, dey ought to. You'se looks like
a man who owes himself money. Here's
your hat."
"English was silenced, and closed his
eyes to dream of a substantial dinner, al
though he was in the habit ot saying he did
not approve of Xew Year feasts.
WHAT IT 3IEAST.
The thirtieth' annual dinner to the news
boys and bootblacks, which was the event
alluded to, was given at the Grand Central
Kink by the Leader Publishing Com
pany yesterday afternoon. About 800 boys
accepted the invitation and thoroughly en
joyed the hospitality. They formed lin line
in" the rear of the Leader office. Captain
John Haney was in charge. A drnm corps
headed the procession. The boys marched
down Fifth avenue in a glorious frame of
mind. Every familiar friend was greeted
with cries and sayings peculiar to a shiner's
vocabulary, and woe to the man against
whom they had a spite, as he suffered a
thousand tortures while these young imps
made it interesting for the spectators. The
boys arrived at the rink in some kind ot
order.
The building was packed, and many were
turned away. The Cathedral Band occupied
the music stand, and played selections. The
audience enjoyed the tricks of the boys. The
youngsters knew it, and there was a reason
for their extraordinary behavior.
The bill of fare was an excellent one, and
included the delicacies that usually com
plete a holiday dinner. When the boys had
finished the first course they amused them
selves by
PLATING A DEVIL'S TATTOO
on their plates. One tap was the signal,
and almost instantly 500 boys were hammer
ing away on their plates as if their very ex
istence depended upon the noise they made.
The dessert was enjoyed most. A smiling
waiter would start along the line with a
basket ot cakes, handing one to each boy.
That was too slow for them. A dirty hand
would suddenly dive into the basket and
seize a cake. The waiter would endeavor
to remonstrate but as he looked toward the
offender, a dozen hands were in and ont of
the basket, again loaded with spoils. Then
a good little boy would be given a cookey.
He would thank the attendant, dodge
around his back, cram the cake in his
pocket, and smilingly beg for a second, and
get it.
Knives were soon abandoned and the
eatables were taken by hand. It may not
be the height 0f fashion to scoop cran
berry sauce into one's mouth with one hand
while one reaches for the oysters in the soup
with the other; bnt it is evidently the height
of enjoyment, for some.
There was one poor little coffee-colored
moke who had the crowd down on, him for
telling an old man that the bloody murder
that was the best news in the paper hap
pened in Korea and not iu the city. He
asked for pie. The boy nearest to that
pastry passed it to mm in much the same
manner as a center fielder puts a ball to the
home plate.
PEIGHTFULLY PIED.
As the little darkey opened his mouth and
rolled up his eyes, before closing two rows
of teeth upon it, a piece of pie, from which
the top had been removed, struck him in
the face. He spluttered and gasped for
breath. A second piece struck him on the
cheek, while a third filled one of his ears.
This was too much, and he dropped under
the table. When his face appeared above
the edge, as he cautiously arose, then an
apple, thrown by no weak hand, struck him
in the eye, and down he went, only to come
Dp again several feet away, a little broken
up, but still ready for more pie.
When the first table was finished, the
boys started on a run to leave the building
by a side entrance, which opens into a nar
row alley. Here a battle was fought with
pies, apples, and cakes as weapons.
Captain W. Fullwood was manager of
the dinner. Three long tables were placed
in the hall, anB every effort was made to
make the dinner a success. The crowd of
boys was so large, however, that it was
necessary to divide them into two sections.
Part of the first half got itself intentionally
entangled with the second half, and many
ate two simply enormous dinners.
That the boys enjoyed it, is certain. It is
a bright spot in the dreariness of their lives.
To their credit it may be said that their
behavior yesterday was not so bad as it has
sometimes been.

The Plain Truth
Is that Hood's Sarsaparllla has cured thou
sands of people who suffered severely with
rheumatism. It neutralizes the lactic acid in
the blood, which causes those terrible pains
and aches, and also vitalizes and enriches the
blood, thus preventing the recurrence of the
disease. These facts a arrant us in urging you,
if you suffer with rheumatism, to give Hood's
SarsapariUa a trial.
"Having been troubled with inflammatory
rheumatism for many years, my favorable at
tention was called to Hood's SarsapariUa by an
advertisement of cures it had effected. I have
now used three bottles of Hood's Sarsaparllla
and can already testify to beneficial results. I
highly recommend it as a great blood purifier."
