The rooms thrown open to the {sey were densely crowded by 9:30, and for e two succeeding hours the ae groups of gorgeously uniformed diplomats military men and beautifully-attired women which slow]: ly moved from room to room, dis- solving and reforming as they went, made & spectacle of much brilliancy and animation. The floral treasures of the government conser- vatories were drawn on without stint for pur- poses of decoration, and the great east room ‘was given the appearance of avast arbor by the abundance of cut-flowers whic! were banked high up on the mantels and the potted plants and trees which filled the corners and the window 8. The doorways were bung with smilax, but the surging crowds soon tore down the delicate festoons of en in passing from room to room. Graceful festoons of smilax hung also from the crystal chande- liers of the eastroom. The striking faces to be seen in the close-packed throng seemed even more numerous than usual last night, and among them none attracted more atten- tion than those of three big Indians, members of the Ute delegation. When at 9 o'clock = Teceiving party descended, Lag Kd Colonel Wilson and Lieutenant Duvall the corridor was already ked with the advance guard of an army which extended back far out into the grounds.

Miss Bayard, next in line, wore white int d’esprit over a gown of blue silk. Mrs. Fairenita’ 's gown was of ivory white satin bro- cade, with pearl lace and front draperies of silk mull. Mrs. Endicott was fourth in line, and Wore over a petticoat of London-smoke silk & gown of heavy white silk, brocaded in flowers. Aigrettes of pink ostrich tips were worn in the hair and on the corsage. A lar; e spray of diamonds fastened the aigrette on tl corsage. Mrs. Whitney’s gown was of white brocaded satin, in the front of which were in- serted broad ‘strips of point lace. Several very elegant «prays of diamonds were fastened in the lace at the corsa; Mrs. Dickinson stood at the end of the fine and wore ivory white satin, with sleeves and front draperies of arl, clustered net, with diamond ornaments. rs. Folsom, in white silk, with pearl orna- ments and trimmings, entered the blue room a few minutes in advance of the presidential pty and passed back of the line, accompanied y Mrs. Ward, of New York, in pink silk, trim- med with pink ostrich feathers and diamond ornaments, and Mrs. Roberts, of Philadelphia, in light blue silk, with brocade.

Both savage and semi-barbarous people have always exhibited a great repugnance to any surgical operation, however necessary, which involves amputation. The North China Her- aid, in commenting upon this circumstance, its out that the Chinese have alwa: and suffering, but because they look upon it as a duty to keep the body intact.

MR. CRANE’S POINTED DENIAL. The Liquor Dealers and the District Commissionership. To the Editor of Tux Evento Stan: The following communication, correcting a slanderous article that appeared in the Critic yesterday, was sent to that paper this morning. The editor refused topublish it. Will you give it a place in your colunms and thereby aid the cause of truth and fairness? Yours truly, J. H. Crane. Washington, D. C., Jan. 18, 1889. “ai, In vou aus of fotarday, £9 masking = our of , in of the semiantion of Mr. wn B. Webb to succeed himself as one of the Commissioners of this District, and the probability of his being confirmed by the Senate, you make use of my name in a way that I’ cannot allow to pass unnoticed. You say: “A delegation of liquor dealers and others called on Mr. Cleveland on the Saturday pre- ceding the expiration of Mr. Webb's term in advocacy of the claim of John H. Crane for Commissioner. Mr. Cleveland, after listening to their arguments for Mr. Crane and against Mr. Webb, stated that he could not consider the name of any outside applicant for the _—) if Mr. Webb would accept a reappoint- ment.” Allow me to say that there is not one word of truth in this statement, and if you will call = the President he will, no doubt, confirm at Tsay. No ‘delegation of ey dealers” called on the President in my behalf last Sat- urday, or at any other time. The only persons that I'know of who have spoken to the Pre: dent for me are two United States Senators an a prominent business man from western New York, who never sold a drop of liquor in his life. They called one week ago last Friday. One of the Senators presented my name to the President for Commissioner, endorsed by more than nine-tenths of the wholesale merchants in this District, also by many leading retail merchants, builders, manufacturers, real estate dealers, insurance agents, capitalists, lawyers, doctors, journalists, scientists, and prominent citizens d in the most honored pur- suits of life, of whom are noted for their bay rate habits. With the exception of three four hotel-keepers there was not a retail Scecr Gale's memo om my papers. This would hardly seem to bear out your statement that Mr. Webb is endorsed by everybody. You put words in quotation marks into the President's mouth which he could not have — at the time a of, or at any other to persons aaicoss him in my behalf. Kaclogstion composed of three well-known pose wheels merchants, called at the White oe last Monday to see the President for me. They were unable to see him, but made an appoint- ment for the next day, "Two hours later Mr. Webb's name was sent to the Senate. I might add that one of these merchants was sent for by the President three years ago to name a Commissioner, and that he named Mr. Webb. Another of the three is on Mr. Webb's bond. The attempt to make it appear that I am brought forward as the special champion of the liquor dealers will hardly work in this com- munity, where I have resided so long. The Commissioners of this District are execu- tive officers, not legislators. They should fear- lessly and impartially execute the laws made by Congress. If prohibition, high license or low license be the law, then let the law be executed, without fear or favor, but bothering or blackmailing any class of citizens should not be allowed. Please try, when using my name, to be cor- rect in your statements. Respectfully yours, |. H. Crane. —_—_.— STRANGLED HER BABE. The Trial of Grace Smallwood for Child-Murder. In the Criminal Court this morning, before Judge Montgomery, the case of the colored woman Grace Smallwood, charged with the murder of her infant child on the afternoon of September 2 last, was called. Mr. J. W. Walker appeared for the accused and Assistant District- Attorneys Lipscomb and Mullowney for the government. It is alleged that the child was born in Hope Alley, between D, E, 12th and 13th streets southeast, and that the accused caused its death by tying a piece of shoe string around its neck, and then threw it onan ash pile. The defendant is a small colored woman about thirty years old, and appeared in court attired ina blue dress, white apron, white col- lar and black straw hat. The court proceeded to the selection of a jary at once, and in ten minutes the following were accepted and sworn: John Bury, Edw. Godey, Jno, H, Russell, Geo. B. Sheriff, Arthur Burt, Wm. Heine, Chas. E, Nelson, jr., Geo. R. Barnes, C. W. Klopinger, John A. Peters, John C. Baum and W. Eaton. Mr. Mullowney opened the case‘for thefgov- ernment. THE DEFENSE CLAIMS THAT THE WOMAN 18 OF WEAK MIND. Judge Walker followed for the defendant, stating that the woman was of weak mind and somewhat of a religious fanatic; also that she was a member of the Good Samaritans, or some such order. They would showthat she waa intimate with one Mr. Green; that she had been employed by Mrs. Lescallet for eight yout at Ete bar place of service on Satur- ‘day and went to the lonely quarters, where she spent Sunday and gave birth to the child Describing her surroundings he urged that she could not have been capable of forming a de- liberate intent to murder. When she came to her senses she was so much humiliated and ashamed that she followed the instincts of a brute, and tying the string around the neck of the child, put it aside. On the following morn- ing she went to her service place and was soon afterward arrested, sent to the hospital for two days, and then to the jail. She had been in the habit of contributing one-half of her earnings tothe church and society,and when in jail they had abandoned her. THE TESTIMONY. Alice Carroll, a colored girl, testified that the accused had had fa room in her house in Hope alley; saw her Sunday morning, and she said she was sick. In the evening she said she was better. The next morning witness found the child in the ash heap. George Green had lived in the front room, and was there on Sunday. On cross-examinstion witness said the baby was covered with ashes, and she then went to the station house and reported the fact. Wit- ness sent for the doctor in the morning, and he came in the afternoon and went to Grace’s room. Sergeant Burgess testified he saw the body of the child with the shoe-string around the neck, and he went out and arrested Grace. She said that the child was born before the doctor arrived; that she did not know that it was alive,and she had tied the string round its neck and put it in the alley. In the afternoon she was sent to the Freedman’s hospital. Officer Laphindy testified to seeing the child on the ash h Dr. (resis testified that he saw the woman; found her in pain and gave her a prescription: saw her next morning at the station and asked why she had lied to him, and she replied that she didn’t, for it was all over then. Dr. Lachlan Tyler testified to the autopsy, and that the death of the child was caused by strangulation. This closed the testimony for the government. TESTIMONY AS TO CHARACTER. Abraham Lescallet, summoned by the gov- ernment, wasjexamined by defendant, and tes- tified that the accused had been inthis employ seven years as a servant; that she was not very bright, but was tractable and docile; she knew it from wrong. v. W. H. Draper, pastor of the Ebenezer M. E. church, tentiicd that accused was a church member of good an and knew right from paren She had been turned outof the church. George Hudson testified that defendant was regarded as very bright for an uneducated Mrs. Maria Lescallet testified that defendant pane ‘ded as very intel but te rom wrong.

Lent to-night was a most brilliant and successful affair, and it loses none of its lustre that Atlanta and Georgia took so bright and conspicuous a part in it. The musicale was given by the flourishing musical of Prof. Ernst Lent at the All Soul’s church, cor. of I, and 14th streets. It is the custom here to hold concerts at rene churches, and the largest gatherings atten The buil ng was packed to-night with an ele- gant and critical attendance, including musical critics and official celebrities. The La pag was varied and scientific, and was warml: Boas The best productions of Hi Mendlesshon, Mozart, Beethoven, Dan- cla, Schubert, and others were rendered with spirit and expression. = pean piece was a trio by Hoffman, , Kamp layed the piano, Miss May pe the violin, and Professor Ernst Lent the violoncello.

Miss Simons gave a piano nocturn ay Grieg with wonderful power. There were thirteen parts of this pro; all powerfully rendered. — The Georgia girl led in an orchestra piece of Schubert on the first violin, there being nine performers in it. This piece is called the Hungarian march. She also performed La Straniera, by Dancla, a violin solo, and Beethoven’s concerto in C major on the piano, with Prof. Lent accom- panying on another piano. Two portions of 6 concerto, the largo and finals, oak on and the Atlanta assis held up the Georgia end of the affair, giving remarkable expression and smoothness, and illustrating Prof. Lent’s faithful teaching. Miss Avery and Miss Lent both won enthusiastic encores, and Miss matey was attired in a Greek green silk stage dress, The Australian Voting System. From the Boston Commercial Bulletin. The new voting system,which goes into effect in Massachusetts next year, and which is acopy of the Australian ballot system, iscausing much interest all over the country, and requests for copies of the law have been received by Secre- tary of the Commonwealth Pierce from legisla- tors in every state of the union. Efforts will ae be made to have the same law adopted many other states this year. The state prints 1 the ballots for state officesand the citiesand towns for pene oo and town offices, and the names of all candidates are on one ballot. The ballots are given to voters by the precinct offi- cers. The voter takes his ballot into a private room and marks the names which he wants vote for. He will be fined for showing his marked ballot to any one, and a fine is levied on a person who attempts to find out for whom he votes. Thus a deadly blow is struck at the politicat heeler and ballot distributor at the Rolls, a consummation devoutly to be wished. ‘he printers will lose a very large and profita- ble business in the printing of ti = regular bal- lots for Crate parties and of split tickets for independent candidates, and the ever- prevalent stickers which have shown increasing Eopelactty each year. The printers selected by he state and cities and towns will be the gain- ers, However, anxious candidates will probi bly want posters, flyers and circulars as of yore, and the printers will probably find the pro- verbial half loaf heaton hee aa no bread, A Cheap Eating House. Boston Letter. The impecunious clerks who have not time (?) to dine at Young’s or Parker's have at least some compensation in the “laugh-and-grow- fat” plan which attracts so many of them as customers to the ‘‘Hotel de Crack,” as one of the eating stalls of the limited space is called. Jollity seems to moisten the sandwiches and flavor the doughnuts, and for the very reason that so many jokes are cracked its cognomen has a double significance. A young man steps in and takes a seat, and when asked for his order replies soberly, “Dogs.” The young girl is used to that order and calls out to the kitchen, “Sausages for one.” The next comer does not wait to giver her his order, but whistles as if calling a dog, and the girl repeats the first order for his bentit, “Sausages for one.” The next customer gives his order with dignit; “Baked beans, without.” “Without what, sir?” asks the girl, respectfully waiting his answer. “Cockroaches,” is the solemn reply, which convulses all the rest at the table, After the tables are cleared a late comer rushes in and ask: “Well! have you got anythin, left? Nothing but leaves,” replies the smi ing landlord, as he proceeds to wait upon his customer. Speaking of cockroaches and water bugs, leads me to remark that they are the pestof some of the eating houses. One day when passing through City hall avenue a friend saw a baker bring out empty barrels from a restaurant. The baker looked into ohe of the barrels as if something peculiar met his sight, and then turned it upside down with a bounce on the ground. Millions and millions ot water bugs scampered in every direction, some seeking their natfve warmth in the kitchen, and as many more rushing toward tity hall to.get situations on the water board. A monstrous cockroach was seen crossing Bow- doin square on the crossing stone, one even- ing about 6 o'clock, and heading directly for ating house. Said one who had watched his movements a few moments: ‘He knows where to get his supper.” The rehearsal of these trivial things of every day life only indi- cates that one sketching in the Hub sees many things both sublime and ridiculous, se Quotability of Various Authors. From the Pall Mall Gazette, Which English authors are the richest in sup- plying “Familiar quotations?” I am prompted toask the question bya remark in Mr. John Morley’s introduction to the new edition of Wordsworth. According to Mr. Morley, Words- worth stands third on the list. “Only two writers,” he 8a; ve contributed so many lines of daily popularity and application. In the handbooks of fami iar quotations Words- worth fills more space than anybody save Shakespeare and Pope.” A reference, to the last edition of ‘‘Bartlett,” which is far the best collection, does not quite bear out Mr. Morley’s statement. e is a list of the number of pages filled by some of the authors severally: 'Y, JANUARY 18, 1889.
