McKennoy, Mra. Mattingly, Mme. de Mendonca, Mrs. Noble, Mrs. ‘Thos. Riggs, Mme. Romero, Mrs.Rusk aud Mrs. Wanamaker, promises to be a brilliaut social event. As is well known, the ability of the various clubs to entertain an audionce and the interest that always accompanies the mani- festations of college life in general combine to mako the occasion of particular enjoyment. The bovs give the proceede of their concert to the colloge infirmary. After the concert Mrs. and Miss Mattingly will entertain the clubs at a dance, when these clever young gentlemen will meet the youth and beauty of the capital. ‘The cabinet Indics held a meeting lately to discuss the details of the New Year reception and various other matters upon which a unanimity of opinion 18 desirable. It was decided that the ladies commence their own receptions immediately after returaing from the White House, and not wait until a later hour, as some of the ladies before this meeting thought might bo more comfortable all around. Naturally Mrs. Harriton likes to keep the ladies ghout her own reception, but they have discovered by so doing that they dis- ho would prefer to come early. They have therefore decided to be ready to receive callers at home from 12:30 onward, Mrs. ble has chosen this earliest hour aud Mrs. Wilmerding has announced that he will receive at 1, ‘Mrs. John Howard White gave a tea yester- afternoon at which her daughter, Mias te, mado her debut.

They hav* returned from a pleasant visit to in the corners of the room and at either side of the buffets. ‘The mantels had a banking of low pots of white primroses mingied with tiaiden-bair fern. The table decoration was allin white and green. Along the mirrored surface of the old-iashioned plateau down the center was an oval cushion of maiden-bair fern studded with white camelias. At the four corners of the cloth there were rings of white hyacinth blooms and roses. ‘The tall silver candlesticks had their tapers capped with fluted white shades. The new sinall silver pieces and the new glass were conspicious adornments of a useful sort. There was no wine served, for at each place only a;water gob- Jet and an apollinaris tumbler were placed. The ladies found loose clusters of white rose buds, a spray or two of fern and a big pin to adjust it to their corsage at their places The name cards were decidedly unique. Each had a water color portrait ofa lady in the fashionable dress of all the decades in the century. ‘These cards were imported and were etched by a French artist. As models of old-time fashions, now grotesque in the extreme, they afforded much amusement to the ladies.” ‘The name of the guest was painted in gilt across each card by Mr. O. L. Pruden. Mrs. Harrison has been suffering from a bad cold for several days and had a visit this morn- ing from her doctor. She received her guests in the blue parlor, and when all had assembled, while the Marine Band was discoursing some sweet-toned music, luncheon was announced. Mra. McKee, Mrs. Dimmick, Mrs. J. F.

The statue willbe mounted upon a high, massive pedestal of gran- ite handsomely inscribod with bas reliefs of bronze. The cercmonics attending the unveil- ing will be marked by an elaborate display, both statoand national. In conception the statue is striking and heroic, resembling that of Gen.

THE NEW CITY POST OFFICE. It is Expected That the Plans Will Be Ap- proved This Week. ARCHITECT EDBROOKE 18 STILL IN CHICAGO, BUT I8 IN CONSTANT COMMUNICATION WITH THE POST OFFICE DEPARTMENT—THE FRONTAGE LINES NOT LIKELY TO BE CHANGED. Mr. Edbrooke, the supervising ‘architect of tho treasury, is still in Chicago on his holiday leave and the plans for the Washington city post office remain unapproved by the Postmas- ter General. There is almost daily communi- cation, however, on the subject between him and the acting architect, Col. Low, who is en- deavoring to secure the approval of the plans before the beginning of the new year. He had aconferenc with Mr. Wanamaker on the sub- ject yesterda,, and this morning he stated to a Stax reporter that he hoped to have the plana in his possession this week with the requisite signatures attached. NO CHANGE OF FRONTAGE LINES LIKELY. ‘The suggestion made by Postmaster Sher- wood to alter the plans so as to follow the line of Pennsylvania avenue with the north front of the building has not been bronght to the no- tice of the architect's office in any way and it is not thought thero that there will be an: ous consideration given it. In the opinion of the treasury officials there is an insurmount- able obstacle in the way of the adoption of such a suggestion in the distortion of the build- ing that would result. The scheme, too, resents an apparent fiaw in that it could not be adopted without the consent of Congress for the occupation of a portion of the present highway—unless the proposition of the Postmaster is intended to signify a withdrawal of the front toa line parallel with the avenue and yet mot advancing any further north at the west side. This, however, would still ‘pre- sent the objection of a distortion of the front and would be open, to the additional objection a reduction of the floor space, which is in wholly contrary to the postmaster's ideas. Hence it is not thought by Col. Low that the suggestion will have any important bearing on the main question of the approval of the plans. ‘BIDS ASKED BOR A FENCE. An advertisement has been issued by the su- pervising architect for bids for the construc- tion of a fence around the site of the city post office, opposite Tux Stan office. The bids will be opened January 5, at 2 o'clock, in the office of the architect of the treasury.’ The fence is to be built of Virginia pine, and will extend on all four ‘sides of wuure, running along the lines laid down outside the present curb by the District Commissioners here aro to be cight sliding gates ut various points around the square and o small gate or door adjoining the superin- tondent’s officc on the north side. The posts of the fence are to be of chestnut, let three feet into the ground, and the gate- posts will be planted a foot deeper. There will be a plank sidewalk, 6 feet wide on tho D street | the fronts, especially in the introduction of the | nine feet in height, | or north side of the fence. The outside of the fence is to be painted with two coatsof lead and oil, finished in a tint to be selected later. The sign ‘Post No Bills” will be painted by the con- tractor at twelve different points on the fence, and on each of the sliding gates a legend, “‘No Admittance Except by Permission From the Oftice.” He will also paint the sign for the office building. Each bid must be accompa- nied by a certified check for not less than two per cent of the amount of the proposal. ‘THE SUPERINTENDENT'S OFFICE. ‘The office building is very well advanced and will probably be ready for occupation by the first of next week, when the contract expires. The transfer of Superintendent Steward’s official lares and penates will then take place and Contractor Nash’s force of demlishers will make an attack upon the old building on the northwest corner, which is said to be the most antique structure on the square. It will mot take long to wipe this out of existence, and it is safe to say that by the 14th, the day of the expiration of Mr. Nash's contract, the square will be wholly cleared of buildings, foundations and rubbish. The old Odd Fellows’ building on 11th street has melted away, and by tomorrow mot the temporary office will be all that is left. The District is taking up the sidewalks around the square and the erection of the fence iewiliad ikely begin the latter part of next wi Description of the Building. The cut accompanying this article gives representation of the proposed city post office building as designed by the supervising archi- tect, Mr. Edbrooke. As is well known, the building is to occupy the entire square on the south side of Pennsylvania avenue between 11th and 12th streets. The frontage on the avenue will be 200 feot 2 inches, and the side fronts will be 806 feet 2 inches. Upon eat area will be erected a massive grani uilding, rising to the height of eight stories and surmounted byasquare tower. ‘Thoground | comprises 61,200 square fect, and this space will be occupied by the building, with the ex- ception of the area included within the central court or light shaft. From the level of the street to the top of the weather vane on the clock tower the height will be 250 feet. ‘THE ROMANESQUE STYLE. The design is of the Romanesque order of architecture. Tho main feature of the facades is the recessing of the central portion in each, the corners of the projections being marked by rounded piers, which add to the appear- ance of substantial constructions. ‘The architectural divisions of the fronts are marked by powerful lintel courses. A series of heavy arches span the window openings of the first story. Then comes the inter story. The three stories above are inclosed with arches, and then a range of two stories, the whole finished with a rather high pointed roof pierced With prominent dormer windows. ‘The lines of the tall roof over the corners of the build- ing lead: the eye naturally up to the large square clock tower, which rises from the cen- tral front of the building and is itself capped with ahigh pointed roof. The treatment of feature of the recesses in the central part, is designed to relieve the monotony which a solid front would be apt to convey, especially in a building having such extended frontages and rising to the height of eight stories THE PLAN OF THE BUILDING. The plan of the building may be described asthe arrangement of a tier of offices cight stories high about a centrallightshaft, Allthe office roome have windows looking out on the streets on the four sides of the building. Ac- cess to the office rooms is by means of gal- leries which extend around the light shaft in much the same style as the pension office building is planned. This is the arrange- ment of all the floors with the sxcep- tion of the ground floor, which is on a level with the street. The floor space of the light shaft will be used as the mailing and car- rier department and will have a ceiling of glass. Partitions of glass separate this central space from the public corridor which extendsaround the building. The post office boxes, stamp windows and carrier windows will be in this partition and on the opposite side of the corri- dor will be the doors leading into the office rooms on the front of the building. TEE MAIN PUBLIC ENTRANCE. The main entrance for the public will be from the avenue. There will be a wide hallway leading into the corridor. Along this corridor will be the place where the bulk of the public will transact the business which brings the average citizen to the post office, He can find the window where he gets his letters or stam) and here will also be located the registry office and the money order office. It will be a wide, roomy corridor and during business hours it will be thronged with people. It will beframed in on both sides by high glass partitions, through which the light will come both from the strect and the air shaft. THE FIRST FLOCR. The first floor is to cover the entire ground space of the lot. The other seven atories will be built around a light well or court that will serve only for lighting purposes. The floor of this well will constitute the roof of the center of the first story and will consist of a glass skylight, under which the delivery rooms will be located. Thus there will be no court yard proper, and the mail wagons will be let into the structure by means of tunnelways on the C street side. These res will penetrate through from one side to the other, that is, from the C street side to the 11th and i2th street fronts. THE DIMENSIONS OF THE COURT. ‘The dimensions of this court or well cannot be ascertained with precision, but it is under- stood that it will occupy « 1e space across the square, with the other two-thirds occupied by the building. ‘There is a slight error in the cut, caused by too much shading being given by the artist in drawing the three curves of the bai- cony above the main doorway on the north front. The design is for @ succession of very slight curves at about the pitch ‘of that usually adopted in the con- struction of the “eyelid” windowsin the colo- nial architecture. Otherwise the engravin gives avery correct impression of the archi tect’s conception. MURDERED IN THE SOUTH SEAS ‘The Whites in Fear of the Treachery of the Natives, Advices from the South seas state that the natives of the New Hebrides group have become singularly notorious of late, owing to numerous atrocities perpetrated by them on white in- habitants. French as well as British subjects havo fullen victims to the butchery of the savages. Following closely on the murder of Mr. Peter Sawers, « British settler, by tho natives of Santo Comes, comes news of another crime, the victims in this case being M. Parent and M.

THREE METHODS OF EXPLAINING THE UNKNOWN. He referred to the three methods followed of explaining the unknown. In savagery the un- known is attributed to the animals, while im the ne=t stage, called barbarism, mankind has personified the powers and phenomenon of nature, and the unkuown was attributed to the doings of those personified beings. Civil- ized people. however, credited to the unknown, the agency of spirits. ‘These three methods exist today, for all these grades of civilization are in existence. The operation and devel it of these methods is ascertained by the of the folk lore societies. In conclusion Major Powell extended a cordial welcome to the mem- bors to this city.
