Miss Grant has loaned it for the period of her absence in Europe, and it is hung where her friends in this city will see it often. Mrs. Cummings is back from Europe, and Will spend the winter with Mrs. Justice Blatch- ford. Mrs. Cummings has many friends in this city, who will be glad to greet her on next Monday at Mrs. Blatchford's reception. She was at the White House yesterday with Justice Blatehford. Senator and Miss Voorhees have out invita- tions for an evening rec*ption for Friday even- ing from 9 to 12, to meet Mr. and Mrs. Charles Stewart Voorhees. Mr. and Mrs. Brainard H. Warner vill give an at home to-night from 8:30 to 11 o’clock. » Mr. O. G. Staples, of Willard’s, has sent out cards for a dancing party on Friday evening at 9 o'clock. Miss Owens gives a tea this afternoon for Miss Grace Davis and Miss Lizzie Elkins at 5 o'clock. Mrs. Woodward Abrahams, Miss Abrahams, and Mr. A. Royal Cathcart, of Baltimore, ac- com d by Rev. C. Herbert Richardson, of the McKendree M. E. church, were among the visitors at the White House yesterday. ‘The members of the Nanon social club gave the first of a series of hops last night at the residence of Miss Cowling, 512 I street. Bishop and Mrs. J. P. Newman will hold a reception at Senator Stanford's to-morrow from $ to 6 in the afternoon. The Misses Van Zandt, of 1833 G street, will receive on Fridays during the season. Mr. and Mrs. John McClelland celebrated their china wedding on Monday night at their residence, 1324 10th street northwest. Many friends were present, and a number of pres- ents were received. Mrs. Senator Stockbridge will be at home January 10th and subsequent Thursdays. Mrs. H.A. Cady and family have arrived from Virginia and will make Takoma their future home. Miss Carrie H. Seashols, of Put- nam county, W. Va., Mrs. Cady’s sister, is visit- ing her. Miss Alice Virginia Church, youngest daugh- ter of Mr. C. B. Church, and Mr. Leidy Depue were married last evening at the Westminster Presbyterian church, South Washington, Rev. Dr. Bittenger officiating. The church was crowded by the friends of the bridal couple. Shortly after the ceremony Mr. and Mrs. Depue | left for the west. | Mrs. J. W. G. Atkins, who has been visiting | her mother at 2403 Penns: nia avenue, has | returned to her home in New York. | The wife of Representative Thomas, of Il- linois, appeared in Washington society for the first time at her reception at the Ebbitt yester- day. She has been prevented heretofore from participating in social gaieties by the long ill- ness of her husband, who has now recovered his health. The wife of Commissioner Wheatley gave a dance last night to the yor ladies assisting her in receiving yesterday. Among those pres- ent were the Misses Stevens, Miss Nicholson and her —_, Lgl ne of ‘segmon- borg Dougal, isses Billings, Miss Matthews, Miss Talcott, Miss Gibson, Miss Nesmith, and It is Not One Offered by Gen. Harri- son—His Views on the Situation. From the New York World, To-day. “Yes, I have a portfolio,” said Dr, Chauncey M. Depew last evening to a reporter of the World, “Behold it!” and he picked it up from the table, nearly spilling out a dozen sheets of note paper and as many envelopes that were lying between the covers. “It looks like ivory but the fact is it is celluloid, and you will observe on the fronta picture of the Crusaders crossing the plains.” What the reporter wanted to find ont was whether, as had been stated, Mr. Depew had finally concluded to take » place in Harrison's cabinet. It was said Russell Harrison had pro- longed his visit to obtain the acceptance. “If I had been offered a portfolio I shouldn’t tell you, but I haven’t.” “Have you been offered a foreign mission?” “No, and I don’t want one; but I have re- ceived letters by the dozen from the west and south asking me to get appointments for others. Why; I could easily fill every mission if I had the power to appoint the people who have writ- ten me or sought me in person. How a man in Moutana or Georgia can suppose a New Yorker would be able to secure an appointment for him Ido not see. Harrison will of course look to the local statesmen to recommend oI licants. It is singular how many men now want to travel who never before thought a trip beyond the limits of the New York Central railroad was necessary to their health or ambition, and they enerally wanted to make the trip on a pass, ey would like to cross the ocean at the ex- pense of the government, and they recognize that the broad seal of the State department would put them on good terms with the Prince of Wales, Emperor’ William and other royal Tsons, besides giving their wives social tion. “Tf you are not the New Yorker who has been picked ont to go into the cabinet, per- - = wouldn’t mind telling who has got e?” “I think that information will come from Indianapolis—a little later. Mr. Harrison sent his son east to obtain a little general informa- tion. The young man is, I think, considerably sharper than most people concede. He hasn't been out on a ranch in Montana for a number of years among the cowboys without learning aon poker-pots and human nature.” “What is your idea of the composition of the Harrison cabinet in Lngeice # “Harrison regards his cabinet as his personal staff, and that is what it really should and will be. There will be nobody in it who will bea power distinct from Harrison or have a policy separate from Harrison's. Foreign countries, for instance, will understand that the Secretary of State will represent the policy alone of Har- Tison as President.’ “Won't that fact exclude Mr. Blaine from the “Oh! I think the self-willed, ambitious Blaine, if he should be given a portfolio, would disappear into the Blaine who would be a of the cabinet, made up to carry out the Har- rison policy. Gen. Harrison, you must remem- ber, has been for twenty years the most active and prominent politician in Indiana. He un- derstands how cabinet should be con- structed to secure from it the help he will re- qui He is,I may add, a man of ‘itive religious belief, which fact must naturally have an influence in his cabinet selections.” —~ 00 CURFEW BELL. Its Origin and Use in Olden Time. From the London Standard. The revival of the curfew at Stratford-on- Avon serves to remind us that one, at least, of those old world customs which have survived down to our times is not declining in popular favor. Even Shakespeare’s birth- place gains an. added charm, now that the bell which Shakespeare heard again “tolls the knell of parting day” over his grave. Nor does there seem to be any reason to question the tradition. The custom, what- ever its origin, was probably almost uni- versal in Shakespeare’s day, and the age of the bell at Stratford can be ascertained to the satisfaction of even the most ardent Shake- spearian sceptic. But to let that pass, the incident curiously illustrates the strange fascination which the homely practice—a tei ey — back — _— asy, i to the very infancy 0 the ‘sleeping ‘world-—still esses fOr inost ple, We doubt whether it is even suspected ow generally the custom is still kept up- in this verge Curfew is, however, as a matter of fact, still religiously tolled in many hun- dreds of towns and villages, either all the year round, or—which is still more usual—from September to April. 't is almost heresy to question the tradition that curfew came in with William the Con- jaeror. Nursery historians without number ave waxed sentimental over the wrongs of the conquered Saxon, and have conjured up ‘pic- tures which must still be balmy to the down- trodden Celt. We all know how the revenge- the Messrs. Hartley, Gibson, Nelson, Welch, Caperton, eed Pog = ae Dancing was indulge: and a ha me collation served.

The danger of fire in those —- times was so constant and so terrible that the most extraordinary safeguards were enjoined against it: and not without rea- son in the days of wooden houses, into which chimneys even were not generally introduced till about the beginning of the fourteenth cen- tary, The prevailing fear lest the squalid huts in which , and even well- people, it, of their second daughter.

LIQUOR LICENSE PROBLEMS, The District Commissioners have a number of interesting matters to settle in relation to liquor licenses. They sent this afternoon for their attorney to talk with him, especially wi regard to the point raised in the case of John- son. Mr. Johnson's a st on the id that he law. —_ raised is that the alleged vio- lations of law occurred before a license was to Johnson last year. It is held that ¢ Commissioners in | ge a license ir.

Ht ii La i Hi lived jd be’ burned down was very real, The old city of London ordinances abound in still more nt fire lations, Between Whitsuntide and St. Bartholomew, for example, when it was tobe expected that water woul be scarce, every one was <p under heavy penalties, to keep a barrel full or large earthen vessel in frontof his door, in readiness for emergencies. But none of these rules had the sweet simplicity of the curfew law, which ren- dered wr acustom whose origin cer- tainly dated back long before the Conqueror. A “cover fire bell” was, for instance, ordered to a some place in Alfred’s time, and we find plenty of early traces of the custom or ite as at Ripon the blowing of a horn at the market cross, all over the conti- nent. At Vienna yaad ro were required to put out their fires hang up lanterns out- side their doors when the bell rang. The latter by-law might still be made with advantage in many and suburban neighborhoods which we could name, where pak nga scattered gas lamps hardly serve to darkness visible. There is something of pathos in the conclusion that a supposed edict wasonlya rea- sonable regulation at the time of almost world- wide application. But, if farther proof of this were needed, we know that the never penetrated Roxburghshire, so eurfew at Kelso, unless a modern inno- vation, must have been rung in accordance with immemorial usage, or under some other ad which erafted ait and it custom was yy it, an Sie cat eerttees ae other places, hams and.

From the Brooklyn Times. Posar “I think every young man and young woman in this town wants to go into journalism.” The speaker was one of the best known managing editors in New York city, and he passed his hand over his troubled brow as be spoke, “I get about forty applications per day from men and women who want to become journal- ists, and the proprietor of this paper getstwice 8 many more. A young man whom I know to be making $100 per week in the dry goods busi- ness came to me this morning and offered to work for $25 per week as a reporter. It makes me a trifle weary. If these young men and women knew how many blanks there are in this lottery and how few prizes are drawn, they would quik” The managing editor was in bad humor, but he was allright as to facts. There isn’t a newspaper office in town that isn't flooded with applications for work. The prizes in New York Paes payee You are sure of drawing a pretty nearly every time, There are more than 1,000 hard workinj newspaper men in New York city. Outside of their own offices and the New York Press club not a dozen of them are known to the general ublic, Those who are known outside of New York could almost be counted up¢n' the fingers of a single hand. The men who have drawn prizes cannot tell you how they did it. All they know is that they started at the bottom and got there—somehow. Three of the brightest working newspaper men in New York to-day—and, singularly enough, their proper names begin with the same letter “O”"—John A. Cockerill, Amos and Foster Coates, started from the printer's case, ‘The latter, just about the time when his trade was learned, and while still a boy, was insulted by a superior, and, in an unconscious but happy moment, threw about a pound of lead type in his — gs was gr gr became ® reporter, an now a ie id managing per When asked the other day how he came to succeed, he said, laughingly, “I hardly know, but I think that handful of type did it This ‘is not intended to encourage printers’ devils to throw type around, but as an illus- tration. Charles A. Dana is, perhaps, the most famous of the men who have drawn prizes, As editor of the Sun he draws a salary of $25,000 per year, and, from other sources, his income is swelled to about $150,000 per year, upon which he manages to live very comfortably, aided by ® French cook, whose income is bigger than that of a congressman. Dana si on the New York Tritune ate salary of $12 per week. He started in a small way from a town in the interior of Ohio, Joseph Pulitzer, of the World, is said to cle: 22,000 per day. He is not a working journalist now, but not many years ago he was an ordi- nary reporter in St. Louis, and they say he was a hustler, too. Whitelaw Reid, as a matter of form, draws a salary of some $14,000 per year from'the Tri- bune, but his income from the stock in the paper is several times this amount, and he is the son- in-law of D.O. Mills, These are about the only editors-in-chief who are known outside of New York. There are three or four more who draw good salaries, but they are not known to the general public. John A. Cockerill is one of the working man- aging editors and newspaper men, and draws a salary of $15,000 per year from the World and has an interest in it besides, Cockerill was a typo and fought bis way up from the ranks, Amos Cummings is said to have an income of $15,000 per year. He was a compositor and a private in the Union army during the rebellion, and he too came from the bottom up to where he is now. Chester 8. Lord, the managing editor of the Sun, has a salary of 97,500 per year. He started on a small paper in the interior of this state, and had to work hard for success, But he is little known outside of New York. Geo, F. Spinney, as managing editor of the New York Times, has a salary of about $7,000 per year. But he has been a hard working Joursatiss all his life and the salary is not so i He too is little known outside of New orl Foster Coates,of the Mail and Express, is one of the youngest but best known of New York newspaper men, and, as has been stated, he started as a printer’s devil. He gets about the same salary that the other managing editors do. There are probably fifty or sixty men who are simply writers, like Blakely Hall and Julian Ralph, who earn anything from $50 to $150 per week, but, with the exception of the men named and four.or five more, they are never heard or spoken of except in their own homes and circles. These may seem pretty good selaries to work for. There are several hundred men in New York, such as Joha A. McCaull, of the Equita- ble Life Insurance <r President Hyde, of the Mutual Life; Henry E. Abbey, the theat- rical manager; a couple of scores of bank pres- idents; Mary Anderson, who is just at present earning $12,000 per week, who get double and some of them much more than double as much salary as any of the newspaper men med. At the Fifth Avenue hotel the other night Archie Gunter, the author of “Mr. Barnes of New York,” was a lion. He was more courted than any one at the hotel, and most of the young men around him are ambitious to be- come journalists. If they knew Gunter's struggles up to the time that he succeeded in getting “Mr. Barnes of New York” before the public, they would hesitate. If they could go into any newspaper office and see how long and how hard men work for small salaries | they would hesitete some more. And if they could go into some other places and see some of the wrecks that the tides of the years have cast up on the shores of journalism they would go into some other business. eee Anglo-American Marriages. DO OUR GIRLS CHOOSE ENGLISHMEN BECAUSE THEY HATE GOODY-GOODY YOUNG MEN? From the Toronto Globe. We have read scores of articles on the Anglo- American marriage epidemic. In every one of them the writer has striven to reach a solu- tion by inguiring: Why should the rich and titled Englishman fly from the maidens of his native land and seek a wife on the other shore of the Atlantic? As long as the question is aj roached from that side the true answer will sought in vai This writer may prove that it is because American girls are the prettier; that one will demonstrate that it is booamse American Papas come down handsomel; third will insist that it is because the Ameri girl is the most stylish, independent, better in- formed, chic. jone of these answers will cause any one to change his opinions. All who have written on the “Sag approached it trom the wrong side. The real question is, not why Englishmen marry American girls, but why American girls marry Englishmen. With the beer stated correctly, the answer is not far to seek. In the first place, the American girl is in active rebellion against the American man be- cause the latter has set himself up as the — fect Pawevray Ao a He a whe' any daughter of Eve wo illingly marry a man whom she thought to be perfection—there is no doubt whatever that she would not marry a man who sets himself up'as the best possible husband, and that is what the American man is constantly doing through his representative press. In our journniistic experience we have read many hundred times in American news- papers and magazines that American meri are not only the best of husbands, but that they are models which men of other nations may > reach, = which they pened will, vi Te- qui no great Ly Hye, of womankind to tell us that *‘the lady intellect” revolts at the idea of marr, a monster of fection.
