THE EVENING STAR: WASHINGTON A MYRIAD OF GUESTS. The Columbia Athletic Club’s House Warming Last Night. BRAWN AND HOSPITALITY. Briliiant Scene at the Opening of the New House—-A Great Crush—Scenes About the Building—A Notable En- tertainment, > All Washington turned out to the Columbia Club's honse-warming last night, at least, if all Washington was not there so large a part of it was that the part that was not there did not count for much. It was s tremendous success, both in point of numbers present and in the smoothness with which the affair went off. ‘The guests began to come as early as 8 o'clock the invitations read for that hour as the earliest, and at 11, which was stated for the close of the reception, they were still coming. Outside the club house the scene reminded one of areception at the White House, an awning having been stretched fromthe curb to the | doorway, and the crowd very soon after 8 o'clock extending in «live down the street in both directions. [In an hour this line was half square in length. and it a growing uatil the ead, when it su near denly began to oon PRESIDENT HOOD. Inside the house was a dense, swaying throng. Every nook aud corner of the large edifice was packed, every room occupied, all the corridors and stairways made solid by humanity. The main staircase, in the north- west corner of the building, was compactly filled from the start to the finish by people coming and going and the appearance pre- sented to a spectator standing at the top and looking down was very bewildering, Neatly uniformed servants stood in the corners, out of the line of the currents, and tried to furnish directions to the new-comers and advice to those thinking of departing, but their voices were lost in the hum of so many admiring Voices, as the folks came upon new surprises im the finish of the building at nearly every step. Then the posts of instruction were taken by some of the members of the reception com- mittee, who were indefatigable in their efforts to keep the crowd moving. They called out directions at the tops of their voices until they became hoarse and their collars began to grow limp and damp. Occasionally some one would invent s new order, which he would begin to shout forth in the hope that it would prevent the crowding upon the staircase, but this only increased the confusion, ss there were often two, three aud sometimes four directions being wen at the same time. There was a trifling sk of system about this part of the arrange- ments for the reception of the enormous crowd, but the people were so good-natured about it that no serious jamming resulted. THE SCENE. The scene in the building was beautiful al- most beyond description, flowers being used in profusion yet with elegant taste in arrange- ment. Great pots of roses and baskets of other cut flowers stood on tables and on the mantels to give the air a soft, heavy perfume that soon ve the rooms a heavy, hot-house atmosphere. gas was lighted all the evening, the elec- tric lights being turned on at about 10 o'clock, when the current could be spared from the night exhibition at the art gallery. When the thin filaments of the incandescents, inclosed in their neatly molded shades of opal glass, began to glow with a clearer brilliancy there was a hum of applause went shooting through the rooms as if controlled by the same electric current. In the early part of the evening, the very earliest, it was quite possible to move around with some degree of comfort and even some speed, but as the crowd grew denser and denser through the building became a difficult tas! THE MUSIC. It was worse than elsewhere in the main par- Jors on the second floor, where the chief at- traction was in the Marine Band, which, half hid- den in a small room at tie rear of the suite, the entrance into which was closed with great palm plants, rendered a program of music of the kind that always delights a Washington audience, from the earliest hour of the recep- tion to the last. The program was as follows: 1. Consecra- tion of the temple, overture, Kele-Bel lections from the Drom Major, Off Fantasia, Tannbauser, Wagner; 4. Waltz Love's Dreamland, Roeder; 5. Collocation, Erminie, Jacobowski; 6. Caprice, The Coquette, Sousa: 7; Mosaic, La & Ballad, Little Annie Kooney, Nolan; 9. Gems from the Gondoliers, Sullivan; 10." Divertisement, 0, Listen to My Tale of Woe, Smith; 11. Caprice, The Oolah, Lecocq; 12. March, The Thunderer, Dousa, THE CRUSH. The passageways just outside of these par- lors and the band room were packed with peo- ple at all times, this being the objective point of all who wanted to stow away their wraps and hats. At first this was quite possible, al- though the gentlemen had to stand in line for # long time in order to be waited on without confusion. while the ladies were taken into another room. Members of the club used their new lockers as hat boxes, and thus re- heved the pressure around the little hole in the wall that swallowed hundreds of pieces of head gear and yards upon yards of coat cloth. To- ward the end of the reception, when folks began to want to go home, it became next to impossible to get anywhere near the cloak room without the most patient waiting and the most frightful crowding. Occasion- slly some one over anxious and not over polite wonld begin to push and shove, to the great danger of creating * rush and # stampede, but the mem- bers of the reception committee, who were stationed in all parts of the build- ing, managed, by nipping these tenden- cies in the bud, to keep the crowd in order and to prevent anything that looked like an acci- dent. Here and there a lady became slightly avercome by the heat, the crowd, and the ueavy atmosphere, and there was a momentary zonfusion, but prompt measures were always take! The “reception” consisted merely in the guests struggling inte the house, struggling around so as to see its beauties and comforts and conveniences, and then struggling out again. There was no receiving done to any great extent, although there was aline of a dozen ladies or so standing in the entry of the main parlor, who were supposed to be the re- seiving They were Mrs. Jas. F. Hood, Mira. Jobn H. Tilton, Mrs. Wm. 8. Thompson, Mrs, Dean, Mrs. Haswell, Mrs. Emmons, Mra, J. C. Kondrup, Mrs. Offley, Mrs. W. B. Hibbs, Mrs. D. 8. Barry, Mrs. J” West Wagner, Mrs. Wm. R. Keyworth; but the crowd went by them without seeing them and they were left sta®d- ig to shake hands with their friends who might know that they were there as the hostesses of the evening. IN THE GYMNASIUM. Everybody went up into the gymnasium, of vourse, and there the ladies gave a full vent to their exclamations and admirations and curiosi- « like to try their hitting qualities, but they were afraid. They had strong desires to swing the clubs, and to pull at the oars of the and to run i and would probably have come sooner had not | freedom from crowdii the other rooms ot the building, on account of the presence of the tables, which prevented the apartment being 1 ‘as a thoroughfare. Here and in the bowling alley one could man- age to get a breath of air and rest awhile, but in almost all the other parte of the building it was almost impossible to stop a moment with- out being politely pe oereged to “keep on mov- ing, please; do not block up the passage way!” The members who were on this duty of pre- venting the crowd from jamming did their work with a politeness and a courtesy and a — of lung power that were quite surpris- ing when one considered the difficulties of the situation. Everybody was good-natured ex- cept one man who had lost his hat, and who, when he found it, was unable to recognize it in the shapeless mass of felt that it had become. But he was the great exception to the rule, for everybody else. all of whom were more fortu- nate, secepted the situation with # good grace and submitted to being pushed around and waved about like sea weed without a murmur or a grumble. A VOCAL SALUTE. When the guests had gone, which was not until some time after 11 o'clock, the University of Pennsylvania Glee Club, which had been iving a concert, arrived and rendered several selections. They and the members of the club who were left, and they numbered by the scores, then proceeded to finish the baptism of the new house in an appropriate manner, this process and rite being cont.nued until quite an ewrly hour this morning. It was estimated that there were fully six thousand ple present in the club house during the evening. THE RECEPTION COMMITTEE was large and energetic. It consisted of the officers, the board of governors, the building committee and a number of other members. ‘The officers are: Jas. F. Hood, president; H. b. Zevely, vice president; Howard Perry, se: retary; Fred Thompson, treasurer; 8. W. Sti , captain; Re mith, second ! es Ryan, first lieutenant; W. tenant.

Pictures that were repre- | sentative of the various schools and lines of labor and genius were tastefully ar- ranged on the walls. ‘The portieres aud their accompaniments were poems im upholstery. TRE LIBRARY. Where the clnb will read the newspapers and gather unto itself much wisdom—in the library—the Marine Band held full sway during the evening. A buge obstruction of palms, ferns and hydrangeas separated the red-coated followers of the equally red-coated John Philip Sousa from the audience in the reception rooms, but the library was attacked from the side by acrowd that could go nowhere else, and asa result elbows had to be kept pretty tightly tothe sides of their respective owners, The library furniture consists principally of book cases and chairs, all following out the design apparent in the other rooms in the suite. Ali the carpet is Wilton, of the softest texture and possessed of a flory tint that may aid in keeping the house warm during the winter, | THR BILLIARD ROOM. On the floor above the billiard room seemed to be the favorite resort. Perched on the edges | of two billiard and two pool tables were numer- ous young men and maidens, fortunate in hay- ing even that much of a resting place. As the crowd thinned out and went home there was still a marked preference for the clegant apart- ment in which the click of ivory and the mut- tered asides of the players are already features, The illumination of this room was extremely brilliant, noticeable even when the entire house was a glittering aggregation of gas jets and electric lamps. Toward 11 o'clock the ta- bles ceased to be in demand as seats and then there were a number of little groups scattered around, engaged principally in congratulating the club on the possession of such a palac One of the more noticeabie of those groups the one in which Mrs. Senator Davis of Minn’ sota was the center, while the periphery was composed of Wilson Barrett, Herndon Morsell and a number of others, THE CAFE. In the cafe, which is just across the hall from the billiard room, there has beensome very beautiful fresco work done. The long apart- ment was much admired, and if the adminis- tration ouly keeps up there will be a good deal of business done in that cafe this summer, THE GYMNASIUM. There was a good deal less of a crush in the gymnasium, which occupies practically the whole of the upper floor, but that was due to the fact that there was a large amount of space to be occupied before moving around could be regarded as at all difficult. The ladies evinced @ great deal of interest in the varied assort- ment of ropes, pulleys, bars, &c., and some of the interest was thoroughly practical. They jumped up and down on the spring mattresses which are spread on the floor for the purpose of preventing bruises and broken bones in case an athlete should come to grief in his aerial doings. They dragged exhaustingly on weights of various kinds, tested the strength of their dear little arms by trying to lift heavy dumb bells, looked longingly at rope ladders and watched with envious eyes the young athletes, who, dress suits to the con- trary notwithstanding, persisted in kicking at a foot ball suspended in mid air; they thought the rowing machines were too cute for any- thing and frequently wanted to know whether there was any reasonable or serious objection to their taking a runving jump off a spring board. Que muscular young lady astonished herself. She struck a swinging foot ball real hard and was about to smile at an admirer who complimented her skillful blow when the ball returned and agit was hung low it struck her slam-bang on her pretty mouth, Five minutes later her hips looked very much like the laugh- able “mug” of that fish commonly known as a “sucker,” and she was on her way home. The exhibition of the evening was given in one cor- ner of the room shortly after 11 o'clock. The performer was a young lady arrayed in full evening costume, and the performance con- sisted of a clover piece of Indian club swing- ing. Only a few people witnessed the treat, iumination and yentilation in the gym- nasium were admirable and there were those present who averred that no finer institute tor the education of the muscle can be found else- where in this country, THE SWIMMING POOL, Down on the ground floor the swimming pool, which is made of glazed and tinted brick, was the most admired feature. The complete- ness of the bathing arrangements were evident to all and there were lots of nice things said about the skill with which the whole thing had been planned and executed. Many of the fair guests tried their skill in the bowling alleys and when they got through the male bipeds took up the sport and kept it up for quite a lengtuy period. THE CLOSING SCENE, It was midnight before the last of the ladies left the house and as soon as her feet had crossed the threshold on her homeward way there was @ cry of “stand aside” on the first floor, Headed by Prof. Sousa, Secretary Perry and a six-foot-eight bandsman with sixteen’ and a quarter yards of brazen instrument wound around his body, the parade started. The en- tire band in Indian file was in the advance and behind them was the membership of the club, all joining, with more or less vocal dynamics, ch soul-stirring lyrics as “‘Razzle-Dazzle,” isten to My Tale of Woe,” and “Where Did You Get That Hat?” varied ‘occasionally by the club cheer. Pretty nearly every room in the house was visited and when the inspection and triumphal march came to an end the crowd was in the immediate vicinity of the cafe. CONGRATULATIONS FROM PHILADEBPHIA. During the reception the following congratn- latory telegram from Philadelphia was re- ceived by the club: “The Athletic Club of the Schuylkill Navy send their greeting to the Columbias, and con- gratulate them on their success.” ——_>—_ A PRACTICAL ACQUITTAL, Judge Bookstaver and the Flack Di- vorce Conspiracy. At Albany yesterday the committee investi- gating Judge Bookstaver’s connection with the Flack divorce conspiracy made two reports. The majority of the committee reports that the evidence is not sufficient to satisfy them that Judge Bookstaver had guilty knowledge of the conspiracy to obtain a fraudulent divorce. The minority report says: “Whether or not Judge Bookstaver was a party to the criminal con- spiracy of which other persons connected with those transactions have been convicted, whether or not he aided or abetted in the commission of the various crimes of perjury, forgery and in- jury to the public recotds which were per- mitted in dis case, his acts constitute a reckless) and wanton violation of law, of his constitutional oath of oftice and of his oficial duty, are prejudicial to public interests and private ta, 2 scandal and reproach oe the ition of jus- tice and made the commi of said crimes and the of @ fraudulent divorce pos- sible.

GEORGE M. SEARLE THINKS ABOUT THE PROBABILITIES OF EXISTENCE IN THE SOLAR SYSTEM OUTSIDE OF THIS EARTH—POINTS FROM HIS LECTURE LAST EVENING, Yesterday afternoon, at 4:45 o'clock, Prof. George M. Searle's public course of astronom- ical lectures was continued at the Catho- lic University by a lecture on the sub- ject: “Are the Planeta Inhabited?” The question, he said, which naturally occurs on completing the survey of the planetary system is: “Are these planets, on which there is room for life, actually inhabited?” It is a question more interesting to the general public than any with which mere mathematics or physics have to deai, Almost every astronomer has been many times asked this question, At every suc- cessful increase in the size of telescopes men vaguely hope that something may be done to solve it, “How much does this telescope mag- | nify?” is the all-important question to the popu- {lar mind. That is not what the professional astronomer is after. He wants to get more | Light—to follow faint comets, to discover new | nebule, But is it possible that telescopes can ever magnify so much as to actually enable us to see life on the planets? If it could be seen anywhere it would be scen on the moon; but even here, in these most favorable cireum- stances, the disturbances produced by our air are 80 great as seemingly to preclude the hope of seeing any object ua analt a8 men, or even as the largest animals, NO LIFE ON THE SUN AND MOON, We have then to fali back upon the question, “Are the planets _inhabitable?” as the only one on which science is capable of giving us any light, Isay the planets, for the aun may be considered quite out of the question, From what we know about it at present we can be quite sure that it 1s not only intensely hot on its surface, 80 hos as to destroy all possibilities of life, but that it is yet hotter toward the center, The theory was maintained for a long time, on the great authority of Sir William Herschel, that there might be a habitation in the sun, but no one holds that now. The probabilities about the moon have been given in a previous lecture. The only possi- bility of habitation on the moon wouid be on the other side which we do not see, andit is ex- tremely improbable that there is any differ- ence between one side and the other. A8 TO THE HABITABILITY OF THE OUTER PLANETS, In discussing the planets we shall begin with the outer ones, With regard to Uranus and Neptune the mere deficiency of light and heat from the sun is nota fatal objection to their habitability, The atmospheric arrangements can easily be suchas to secure enough heat, and, in fact, the planets themseles may by their own warmth contribute a great deal to this end. And as for light all that is required is to make eyes more sensitive or their pupils larger. The light, after all, on Neptune, the most distant of all, is by no means insignificant, It is 700 4 times that of the full moon and equal to that given by a large electric arc lamp at the dis- tance of a few feet. It has been said thatthese planets may possibly be warm; in fact the danger is here, ‘The prob- ability is that they are too warm; in fact too hot to stand on, ‘his is almost certainly the case with Jupiter and Saturn. These are probably, especially Jupiter, decidedly incandescent and serve as suns, or, at least, as furnaces, to the satellites that circle around them, The satel- lites of these four outer planets, however, give amuch more promising field for speculation, ‘There is no reason why any one of them, or, in fact, all may not be now ina habitable state. Much has been said of the beauty of the Sat- urnian system as seen from the planet itself, The view from its outer satellite, Japetus, which lies outside of the plane of the ring, wouldcertainly be magnificent, perhaps finer than the view of the ring from Saturn iteelf. THE INNER PLANETS. We now come in our inward course to the planet Mars, Here we have more positive signs of habitability than in any others of our system. We have land and water, seasons like our own, and, in fact, a planet similar to the earth, The climate, indeed, seems to be warmer on the whole than our own, in spite of its greater distance from the sun, but if any- thing we should say that the most favorable period for habitability on this planet was pass- ing away. The indications are that the seas are drying up and the atmosphere disappear- ing. As to Venus and Mercury we can hardly form any decided opinion, but it seems most likely that they are in the state that the earth was in in some of its geological ages, in which it was fitted to be the abode of vegetable life and of some animal organism, but not of the higher forms. . SUMMING UP THR EVIDENCE. The evidence, then, as a wholejis against the actual habitability of most of the planets of our system, but would it not suffice to satisfy the mind of those who crave after a plurality of worlds to believe that all the planets, though not perhaps inhabited at present, have been or will be? The argument from the habitation to the inhabitant is stronger if we putitin this form. If we see some conditions indicating convenience to life, though they be imperfect or incomplete, we can say that though there be no life there now there ma: have been or there may be in the future. If we see a house with only its framework up we say, “No one lives there now, but it is being built for some one to live in,” and when we see @ house in ruins we say, ‘Somebody lived there once.” Now this is very ots and I think can be held as probable. The teaching of geology is that the earth was a long time uninhabitable, and we can hardly shut our eyes to the conclusion that from the action of natural causes alone it would at some time in the distant future be- come uninhabitable again, and the history of the earth is probably the history of the other planets if they are to be allowed to develop in natural way. What portion of the total life of the planet is that in which it becomes habita- ble by beings like ourselves we cannot very well determine, The probability is that it is not a very great proportion of the whole period of development and decadence, So that if we take planets in general, on which we can sce no signs one way or the other, the chances are very probably against its being just now ina habitable state. The number of the satellites is sufficiently great to warrant us in assuming that some one or two of them at least may probably now be fitted for intelligent life. Of course the probability for life in the universe is vastly increased if we can assume that the other stars have planets around them as well as eur sun. And, indeed, the suns themselves may ultimately become inhabitable. We know at least one case of a body sun-like in dimen- sion which has either ceased to give light or never gave it. It is only in exceptional cases that we can be aware of the existence of such bodies, however numerous they may be, ee Written for Tae Evente Stan. Under the Moon.
