Owing to pressure of news and the increasing circulation of Tae Star, compelling its forms to be put upon the presses promptly at the re- quired hour, and also to make proper classifica- tion of matter, it is absolutely necessary that all advertisements shall be received at the business office earlier in the day than formerly. Its advertising patrons are therefore requested to send in all changes of matter before 11 o'clock a.m., and all new matter before 12 o'clock m., and as much earlier than those hours as possible, Copy received earliest will have preference, al- ways, and that coming in after the hours named cannot have assurance of insertion until the next day. ————— Secoxp Assistant PostmasTeR GENERAL Wuitrterp returned to the city yesterday from & brief business absence, suffering from severe attack of the grip, which compels his confinement to the house.” a Jupce Braver Quite Comrortarte To- Day.—When a Srar reportercame to learn how Judge Bradley was today, he found acard on the door bell with the inscriptoms “Judge Bradley is quité comfortable today.” Justice Laman has declined the invitation of the Richmond chamberof commerce to deliver sculogy on Jefferson Davis in that city this month on account of pressing official business. ‘They will renew their request, Senators Kenna anp Heanst arrived in Charleston, W.

Carson, who has been appointed cler of the committee of ways and means, yesterday afternoon took the oath of office, Tue Coxnurtee on Ratcnoans of the interna- tional American conference requested the de- tail of an engineer officer to assist them in their deliberations, and in response the Secretary of War has designated Lieut, Zinn of the engineer corps, To Copy an English Cruiser. It is stated that the Navy department has about abandoned the idea of building the 7,500 ton armored cruiser on the plans contemplated by the act making the appropriation for her. It is understood that Congress will be asked to in- crease her displacement from 7,500 to 8,500 tons in order that she may be built after the pine of the new English protected cruiser lake. If the increased tonnage is authorized it is the purpose of the department to increase the size of the large guus, asat first contemplated, from eleven to twelve inch, and to enlarge her secondary battery, to increase the size of her engines and otherwise bring her main features up to those of the Blake. ‘ihe matter of armor protection against the enemy's fire is an im- portant feature of the Blike which it is desired to follow out. She represents the latest European idea of armor protection. She has an or ail roof or turtlebuck covering the tire hull. Nothing Heard of Jones Yet. The police have given up all idea that the missing Benjamin A. Jones committed suicide, notwithstanding the fact that bis hat was found in the river, The two boys who told the story of seeing the man near Bennings was at police headquarters again. They rehearsed the story printed in Tue Stan last Monday, but the Officers do not believe that the man they saw was Jones, At the missing man’s home nothing has been heard of him since he left Christmas evening. ——_.»—____ The New Supreme Court Justice. Judge Brewer, who was recently confirmed as associate justice of the Supreme Court, will leave Atchison, Kan., for Washington tonight, He will take his seat upon the bench for the first time on Monday next. The ceremony on the occasion of an associate justice taking his seat is very simpie. The poll ot enters the court room at the end of the line of judges and remains standing at the clerk’s desk until the judges take their seats. Then the clerk admin- ters the oath of office and the new judge takes his seat. The chief justice usually introduces the new judge by name to the members of the bar. Thencw judge was dined and given a re- ception in Atchison last night. The Charges Against Dr. Purvis. Mr. Charles R.

CALLERS OUT IN A DRIZZLE. A Throng at the White House. SCENES AT OFFICIAL RECEPTIONS, A Brilliant Gathering at the Executive Mansion—The Vice President and Members of the Cabinet Keep Open House—Incidents of the Day. ——___. It was the centennial presidential New Year reception and it was a much larger and more ornate affair than the one given by President George Washington just one hundred years ago. The Ist day of January, 1790, was a fine day, say the scanty chronicles of the time, and therein the occasion also differed from the one of today. There was misty drizzle of rain this morning and a generally sloppy condition of streets and sidewalks, Carriages, umbrellas and overshoes were in great demand, but those of the multitude that clamored at the gates of the executive mansion and yet were without any of these protective articles seemed content so long as there was hope of ultimately seeing President Harrison, his cabinet and the aggregation of beauty and fashion that was assisting him in the great New Year reception. The hour of 10 o'clock had not arrived when the crowd commenced to assemble, not the distinguished folks who were to occupy the attention of the presidential party from 11 a.m. until 12:30 p.m., but the people—the citizens who never miss an opportunity to enter the White House on such occasions, They had a long wait ahead ot them, but there was no ap- pedrance of discouragement even when the drizzle settled into a steady downpour. They formed themselves in a long and patient culumn, which was wider than the wide side. walk, and they watched the carriages of the more fortunate enter the territory, which was effectually protected by a large force of police and a very substantial iron fence. Inside the grounds the great and still verdant semi-ellipse was fringed with carriages, backed up to the lawn and as closely packed together as possible. Here the police had a great amount of work, but they succeeded admirably in preventing the chaos which on all such oc- casions is 80 near athand. Lieut. Guy and several officers were beneath the portico and they moved the procession along in the quietest and most orderly of fashions. INSIDE THE MANSION the scene was a brilliant one. Ali was.warmth: and brightness. Smilax twined in and’about the great chandeliers and depended from the tops of tall mirrors and windows, The east room, where most of the callers assembled, | was the only one of the four public reception ropjs that secured its light from outside sun. Great spreading palms and tall rubber plants were standing in every nook and corner, while the mantels were banked with gardens of hyacinths, azalias, ferns and other plants, In the bine room,where the Presidentand his party stood, the decorations lent an added charm to the general beauty of the oval-shaped apartment. The central chandelier and the side lights were shaded with unique effect and brought out strongly the changing color of the various tints of blue. The three windows in the back of the room were almost hidden by masses of green, As in the east room, smilax, palms and rubber trees predominated. Red flowered poinsettas and pink azalias peeped out from among their green cousins. Under the mantel pieces ferns, hyacinths and ice plants were banked. In the red room, where the diplomatic corps as- sembled, andin the green room the decora- tioas were much the same, differing only in the substitution of flowered plants to suit the colors in which each room was furnished. The bright scarlet coats of the Marine band were without apparent blemish and with the polished instruments presented a highly satis- factory appearance. In the main corridor, just beyond, there was a wealth of gold, silver and | rainbow hues but rarely equaled in any social assembly. The diplomatic corps, the members of the international maritime conference and the great crowd of army and nays officers, iniu- ied together in a sea of decoraiive tailoring. hen came the Senators and Representatives, and it may be remarked, incidentally, that they caused a great deal of confusion by coming tuo soon, Their aoe os arrival bothered Capt. Dinsmore aud his assistants not a little it was a matter of considerable difliculty to separate, 80 to speak, the sheen and the goats and to place them properly in line, THE PRESIDENTIAL RECEPTION PARTY.
