THURSDAY, THEWORLD OF SOCIETY Brilliant Reception by the Brazilian Minister Last Night. MRS. CARROLL'S COTILLION. ‘Minister and Mrs. Mendonca’s Hospitality—A Notable Gathering—A Gay Scene at the Car- roll Mansion—Gayeties for This Evening— The Chinese Minister's Ball. Tho Brazilian minister and Madame Men- donca gave an elegant reception last night at their ‘residence on Masecchusctte avenue. While the company was large tho house is so well arranged thatuo part of tseomed crowded, and yet every room, the halls and even the stairways on two floors had its own comple- ment of guests. With admirable forethought Madame Mendonca threw open her own boudoir and the office of the minister adjoining, which are on tho second floor, and the guests had the additional pleasure of sitting about these rooms. When it is remembered that the walls of both these apartments are like the |down stairs rooms absolutely covered wit Deautiful canvases and furnishee with perfect ie, _ the attention can appreciated. The minister and his wife received in the front drawing room and during the early part of the evening their attractive group of daughters stood with them. ‘The parlor suite, and, indeed, the entire house, was decorated with growing orchids, a part of Mr. Mendonca’s wonderful collection. In vases thero were quantities of La France roses. The fireplace in the hall was filled in with poinsetta blossoms and maidenhair fern, ulso from the minister's own conservatories at his country piace. Miss Valentina, the youngest 016 as fond of flowers as her father, ntire decoration of the house. @ whole evening a bounteous sup- i nd foliowed shapes and flavors was served. A center piece of orchids was on the supper table, and the tapers burned under pink ehades. Bowls of punch and lemon- ade were on the first lauding, making that spot ® popular one during the evening. Madame Mendonca had on a superb gown of gold-colored poult de soie, elaborately trim- med with jet, a tablier of jet fell over a petti- coat of fine pleated mousvelin ‘de soie, and a fan of black ostrich feathers, mounted on am- ber sticks, was carried. Miss Mendonca wore a dainty gown of Nile green bengaline trimmed with embroidered chiffon and silver ribbon. A necklace of silver beads was worn. Miss Amelia wore « princess dress of violet bengalino with high-puffed sleeves of gauze the same shade. Miss Amalia wag in white poult de soie trimmed with for- get-me-nots and a Watteau bow of bine satin ribbon. Miss Valentina wore white lace and ribbons. She is not yet out in society. Mr. Mario Mendonca was an able assistant to his parents in looking after the pleasure of their guests, Among those present were Secretary Tracy, Mc.

Why Senator Chandler Will Press His Amend- ment to the Constitution, “No person of foreign birth. not a citizen of the United States, shall be allowed to vote for any officer, state or national.” That is the toxt of the amendment Senator Chandler wants to have added to the Conatitution of the United States. “I shall push that resolution most energet- ically,” said Senator Chandler to a Stan re- porter. “It is one of great importance. A large proportion of the states permit no man to vote unless he is a citizen of the United States; the other states aro satisfied if the man will only declare his intention to become a citizen. Now it must be at once apparent to every thinking individual that no unnatural- ized resident should be permitted toexercise the right of suffrage. Their votes elect members of stato legislature and they thus influence tho election of United States Senators. This is all wrong. The maker of a preliminary declara- tion is not obliged to follow it up, he may never do it and there is good reason for beliving that in a great many instances he never does Such a condition of affairs might be tolerated in a new territory and for a short time, but no one would defend it as a permanent arrange- ment.” Paschal’s Annotative Constitution says that aliens are permitted to vote after deciarin their intentions to become citizens in the fol- lowing States: Indiana, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri Nebraska, Oregon, South Carolina, Wisconsin, Montana, Idaho, North Dakota and South Dakota. It isan interesting fact that Senator Chand- ler's amendment was taken from the constitu tion of tho “confederate” states; 1 does not iffer in any respect from the paragraph in that document. ies BLUE SKY AHEAD. End of the Rainy Spell—A Cold Wave to Follow. ‘The weather bureau sees blue sky ahead and the end of the long-continued spell of rain. For four days the skies have wept and the year has started in with a good stock of humidity to its credit, but the outlook today is for a clear- ing up and the probabilities, according to Prof. Hazen, are that by tonight there will be fair weather, high winds, with a cold wave The thermometers are expected to drop down to 20 degrees, and it is altogether likely that this condition will continue for several days. WASIINGTON GOT OFF EASY. Washington was let off comparatively easy in this storm, getting but about two inches of rain, while other cities in the eastern half of the country were last igs 6 soaked. Mont- gomery, Ala.. for example, broke the record with a rainfall of eight in in twelve hours, unprecedented, as far as can be ascertained. In twenty-four hours that city was doused with ten inches of water. Asa result thero are sev- eral small floods in the south. NO DANGER OF A FLOOD. There is no danger of a flood here, though both the Potomac and Rock creek are boiling high with yellow water. At Great Falls this morning the river was running two fee above the dam, and it was so turbid that the condi- tion was stated in the morning report at 2, oF next to the last notch of turbidity. Bock creek is running like a race horse. ——_—_ TO FINE DRUNKEN MEN, The Provisions of » Bill Drawn Up by the Attorney of the District. An effort is being made to make drunken- nessa punishable offense in the District. Some days ago Rev. Scott F. Hershey, by request of the Hopeful Mission of the W. C. T.U., for- warded to the Commissioners the draft of a © | bill having the above object in viewand recom- mending that the Commissioners have it in- troduced in Congress and urge its passage. The bill submitted to the Commissioners was incomplete and it was forwarded to the attor- ney with instructions to draw another bill. The bill drawn by the attorney was received by tho Commissioners today. It provides that “it shall not be lawful for any person to be drunk or intoxicated in any avenue, street, alley or public road, public ark, reservation, square or inclosure, or at any railroad depot or steamboat landing within the cities of Washington or Georgetown or with- in any part of the District of Columbia outside of said cities, or in any other place where from the drunkenness or intoxication may be seen in any such avenue, street, alley, public road, public space, park,reservation, square.or inclos- ure, or in any railroad epee railroad car, street car, herdic or other public vehicle (except a cab or carriage hired expressly and solely for the use of such drunken or intoxicated person and vherein he ws riding in a quiet and orderly manner), or on any steamboat or othor boat for carrying pas- sengers, or at or in any theater, hall, church, hotel, saloon. restaurant or other pecs of pub- lic resort, within said cities or District, and every person convicted of violation of this” act shall be punished for wach and every offense by a fine of not less than $5 or more than §20, or imprisonment for not less than three days or more than sixty days, or both, in the discre- tion of the judge, the prosecution for such offense to be in the Police Court ot eaid Dis- trict of Columbia, and all fines collected to be for the use and benefit of the District of Columbia.” its Sieeie Virginia Republicans. The Virginia Republican Association held a large meeting last night. Speeches were made by A.J. Smith, J. H. Harrison, T. Alien and others. Chairman J. H.

It is to be regretted that the weather bureau allowed the New Year to pass without swearing off in the excessive use of water. There is no objection to the “melancholy darkness gently weeping in rainy tears” if it wants to, but it is hard on the earth to have to do constant duty as a handkerchief.

Many legislators say but little about water and regard it simply as an incidental something— to be used only for washing or diluting pur- poses. But Senator Hansbrough, asa member Of the District committee, is going to investi- gate the water supply of the city. He hs al- ready offered a resolution calling upon the District Commissioners for information, and he will at an appropriate time follow up that action, “Ihave lived here three years,” said the Senator to a Sraz reporter, “and in that time Thave seen a great deal of nasty, dirty water. It hus been claimed that the dirt is not un- healthy, but my opinion differs from that of those who make the claim. Water thatismuddy at the source will be muddy in the stream down tothe mouth. Now, there are lota of good springs north of the city and I want to find out why these cannot be utilized. Very much of this magnificent supply is going to waste—run- ning down the Rock creek valley into the Potomac or finding its way into the same stream by way of the Enstern branch. Even sup- posing that the dark brown Potomac product in which I have for some past been compelled to bathe is not unhealthy can it be compared to that water we got from the county north of Washington? Why not construct a suitable Teservoir and in it accumulate the pure and drinkable liquid we neod so much? Most of the streams I have reference to are from 250 to 300 feet above the city level, so there would be force enough in the supply to reach the top of any building except the Washington monu- ment. city ever became great until it had “No an ample supply of pure water. The material progress of New York was checked for many Years because its water service was faulty. Chicago stood still, comparatively, until water was plentiful and pure. The present water supply of Chicago is not only inexhaustible, but her water works system is, perhaps, the great- est and most comprehensive in the world. “My a desire is to bring about a condi- tion which will give Washington an unlimited supply of water that does not have to be vouched for after every shower of rain. There may bea satisfactory filtration scheme and if there is I shall favor its —— What about that aqueduct tunnel? If that can be made of any use for a reasonable sum it ought to be done, bu? what I want in the city is some of that spring water from the high ground in the northern part of the District and the ad- jacent section of Maryland.” —--2-_____ DISTRICT GOVERNMENT, BAD FOR THE FISH. United States Fish Commissioner Mar- shall McDonald has called the attention of the Commissioners to the daily deposit of the re- fuse matter from the tank or gas reservoirs that is situated on or between M and N, 12th and 18th streets southeast into the Eastern branch every night. This, he says, is deadly poison to all fish, and the millions of young shad which are annually let loose into the Potomac suffer considerably thereby. At low tide a stick thrust into the mud and drawn out will show a depth of gas tar of at least ten inches, No fish or any other live thing can live inand under such circumstances, and he urges the Commis- sioners to do something in the matter. ‘THE IMPROVEMENT OF MINNESOTA AVENUE. While the Commissioners, in their estimates to Congress this year, omitted any recommen- dation for the improvement of Minnesota ave- nue, it is understood that an effort will be made by some citizens in the southeastern section of city to complete the work which was started t year. ‘The Commissioners are heartily in favor of completing this work and will recom- mend any Dill that is submitted to them hay- ing this important improvement in view. PREPARING DISTRICT BILLS. Several bills have been prepared by the at- torney for the District and are now in the hands of the Commissioners for transmission to Congress. One provides that the Commissioners as to the ordinance of the late corporation of Wash- ton in regard to opening and extending alleys, approved November 4, 1842, be declared tobe ¢ legal successors of the mayor of the said corporation, and are authorized and om-| ther powered as fully as the mayor was to open, alter or change alleye agreeably to the pro- visions of said ordinance. Another authorizes the Commissioners to muke an enforce all such reasonable and usual police regulations, in addition to those already unde under the act of 1887, as they may deem necessary for the protection of lives, timl health, comfort and quiet of all persons an the protection of all property within the Dis- trict of Columbia. PLANK SIDEWALKS. Tho Commissioners have ordered the con- struction of the following plank sidewalks under the permit system: South side of Cin- cinnati street; east side of 22d street, from Queen Chapel road to Detroit street: north side of Emporia street, from 22d to Queen Chapel road; west side of 24th street, from i to Frankfort street. : MISCELLANEOUS. The Commissioners have extended the time for the completion of the Emergency Hospital. The sewer on 26th streot betweea I and Vir- ginia avenue has been ordered to be extended 109 feet in the direction of Virginia avenue. peegicenes a Peering The stockholders of the City Investment Company at their annual meeting held yoster- day in Aioxandria re-elected the old directors as follows: Frank E. Corbett, W. Mosby Will- iams, John Ridout, Henry W. Hodges, Virgil JANUARY 14, 1892, THE SENATE PIN MONEY. Various Expenditures Shown in the Secre- That cheerful document—the annual report of the secretary of the Senate—has again made its appearance. It is mcre interesting reading than anything ever imprinted on the pages of the Congressional Record. It contains a de- tailod statement of the receipts and expendi- tures authorized by law and custom, and as custom isa somewhat elastic affair there are a few items that may awaken the cachinnatory instinct in some of those good people who are not at this time members of the Senate. Every one must have noticed the extraordinary mor- tality among men of eminence, but it was left for this report to show how the Senate got off soeasily. The labor consequent upon an en- deavor to deflect tho darts of the dectroyer. when he got after a Senator is not an incon- Siderable affair, It took just 2,600 quinin pills—nearly 6,500 grains—to keep up the av- erage of senatorial health. Whether the qui- nine was taken atraight or not fails to appear in the report. The oniy mention of an; sible accompaniment is under the head o! alcohol, of which the supply was little more than thirty gallons, some of it purchased spe- cifically “for Senate cloak rooms.” Eau de quinine also did its share of the noble work, assisted by several gallons of extract of witch- hazel, castor oil, salts of tartar, carbolic acid, gum camphor, magnesia, agua ammonia, & few boxes of witch-bazel ointment, three three pounds of powdered Jamaica ginger, two fallons of neatsfoot oil, five pounds of eosmo- ine and two sets of bandages. SENATORIAL CLEANLINESS. But cleanliness, besides being closely related to godliness, is a factor in the condition of the individual, and surely no Senator went un- clean. Every possible inducement was offered each legislator to keep himself in high-grade sanitary condition. ‘Yhree new imperial bath tubs, each costing $120, addeq their entreaties to those of their associates and beckoned to the basement. After a bath comes bay rum—just 113¢ gallons—and then in logical sequence foliow the hair cut and the shave. For thete every preparation has been ‘made, and the report shows it. Among the recent pur- chases are flesh brushes, medicated ointments, White cosmetic, several gallons of cologne, quantities of honey and glycerine soap, shav- ing soap, essential oil, vaseline, glycerine, quinine hair tonic, oil of bergamot, philocome huile, vucca and herbarium. A puif-bull and box were also added to the barbers’ stores, and so were sixty-eight individual shaving muge, brushes and sponges, the mugs, of course, being duly decorated with senatorial names. The sponge account foots up $349.40. KEEPING CooL. ‘There was no lack of drinkable liquid in the Senate cloak rooms during the warm weather which belongs to the fiscal year ended last June. Twenty-seven boxes of lemons, 38 cases of apollinaris water (all quarts but two) and 617 pounds of sugar were used up in lemonade. To make this material available as a thirst quencher there were purchased 6 lemon knives, strainers, 1 sugar scoop, 3 large iron spoons, 2 large tin’ buckets, 2 covered sugar bowls, 2 Jadies, 6 sugar spoons and a round dozen of lemon squeezers. ‘There is no truth in the ra- mor that each Senator has an “individual” squeezer, with his name painted thereon. Sev- eral Senators do not drink lemonade. What was provided for these gentlemen is not appa- rent in the report. Perhaps they were the Victims of prohibition sentiment and unjust discrimination, but if that was the case no sound of complaint was ever heard. Mention is made in the miscellaneous purchases of “two punches,” but there is nothing appended to show who they were for or what their variety. The first disbursement from the contingent fund was 165 for stationery; this went to Jno. Wanamaker. That is the only sale made to the Senate by a cabinet officer during the entire year. One of the growing industries at the capital is box making. When a Senator has a lot of books he desires to send home he ordersa pack- ing box, and gets it. He may have as many as he wants, and he is not compelied to fill them all with books. ‘The report shows that material for packing cases cost $816.20, while the labor of constructing those useful articles amounted to €257.22. In manufacturing the boxes glue is used, and it may be a sign of the times iy apparent in the fact that Irish glue is now used exclusively. Heretofore Russian glue has beon regarded asa satisfactorily sticky product, but the Senate has given its indorsement to the output of Erin. What international complica- tions may result from this action no one can now prophesy. In many the report is extremely precise. “Stomatitis pustatoso” was the aflic tion from which one of the Senate horses suf- fered, and veterinary treatment for that horse cost $10. An ordinary case of inflammation was cured for €2. Seven horses had influenza at one time and it cost the Senate $70 to have them attended to. Horseshocing costs about the sume as usual, but those who religiously read the report year after year miss from the roll the names of distinguished meu who ade days gone by figured on the pay sheet as horseshoers, but who never did anything more laborious than exchange their autographs for.a large monthly consideration. A CONTEST AT FOLDING SPEECHES. ‘The first officia! announcement of the result of an exciting contest makes its appearance in the report. Two well-known literary men— one from the east the other from the west— started in (so says the report), during the bus- ievt period of the last Congress,to fold speeches and documents. The eastern champion started out with a record of 60,000 folded during the first month of his engagement and the exertion netted him $60. The little giant of the west opened up with only 50,000 to his credit, and although his friends were generally hopeful, yet afew of the moro conservative did not think he could possibly catch up with a com- petitor who was 10,000 speeches ahead. He did though. For three months thereafter he must have toiled without ceasing, averaging 3,300 a day, Sundays included. This gave him a monthly total of 100,000 and @ monthly income of $100. ‘Tho eastern represen- tative straggled manfully against the supe- rior nervous energy of the:trans-Mussissippian, but in vain, his monthly totals being but 60,000. The result was that the west in three and a balf months folded 350,000 speeches, while the cast managed in tive months to place 300,000 documents to its credit. One of the singular things in connection with the contest is the unvarying regularity with which Ggures footed up at the end of each month. Whether re were thirty or thirty-one days in the month the totals were precisely similar month after month. An inexplicable feature of the document-folding business is the fact that so 1 as $849.10 was unex; alt large asum: pended, although Some member of the committee on rules drinks his water directly out of the pitcher. It cost 50 centsto repair the: place where the enamel was bitten out. Money was also ex- ended for a jar of snuff and for three boxes of By paper. No mention is made of the states. man or statesmen who desired to shield them- selves from the attacks of vicious flics. None of the Senators who were questioned by a Stan reporter would admit that there were or ever bad been flies on them.

Of this sum $582 went to « local un- dertaker. Meals for the funeral party cost $3,463.24.

The large hall of the builders’ ex- change was pretty well filled when President Pearson rapped for or- der. It was nearly half- past 10, whereas the hour announced for the session was 9 o'clock.

It is a unique design representing the Washington monument and is much sought after by the membersassouvenirs of the mecting. Letore taking up the regular program Mr. Blair from the committee appointed at the last meeting to make arrangements for a display of brickmakers at the Chicago exposition re- ported that they found that the general fecli among the brick men was opposed to-a united display. They prefered instead to make indi- vidual displays. He therefore asked that the committee be discharged. This request was granted. The secretary, Mr. Randle, announced that tomorrow morning carriages would be in wait- ing at the door of the exchange toconvey mem- bers to the Ivy City brick yard and to other yards in and about the city. In the afternoon At 2 o'clock the association was invited by the ‘ocal committee to visit Mount Vernon. THE SIONS OF THE TOMES. The regular program was begun with an ad- dress on “The Signs of the Times,” by J. A. Snell of Barrington, Il. The writer started out with the proposition that brickmakers as ® rule are not dreamers. Sometimes they build castles in the air, but they soon tumble down on their heads. He said that there are, of course, exceptions to every rule. He told a dream’ about the meeting of two brick men, one who used the dry-press process and the other the hand Process, and the discussion which followed terminated in an unsettled wrangle. He then went on to say that « successful brickmaker must in the first place have good clay and he must watch the signs of the times. As to brick machines his advice was rather ironical. In the first place he advised them to believe everything the machine men said, second, to believe nothing they said and to select the machine which pro duces the best result with the samples of the clay submitted. To @ man with- out practical experience, who was think- ing about starting 3 brick plant, the only advice to be given was “Don't.” His advice to men of experience and those without that yaluable of “Don'ts” and “Does,” and were sharply put, and while the advice was tochmical’ it ‘was thoroughly appreciated by the audience. He said in brici there was only two classes, one that is money and the other is losing money. He claimed that there was no such a thing as standing sull. He »poke of the advanced standard of brick- making of today and said that architects did not seem to care now for s good red brick. What they wanted was o colored brick. In a bright, entertain- ing style he pointed out the sins of omissions and commissions of brickmakers. =) =n iation —— Fa a cavers of ir. Snell's paper by a use and also a resolution of thanks _—_ DRYING BRICK. “Drying Brick” was the theme of the next paper, which was presented by Edward Calla- way of Syracuse, N.Y. He kindly warned his audience at the outset that they had better keep in mind the title or they might not know what the paper was about before he got through. He said that while there had been progress in brickmaking during the past ten Years yet the art was stillin its infancy. He claimed that the dryi department in a brick manufactory ‘was “the or death of the enterprise. ‘The uncertainties of open- air drying was referred to. He said that human ingenuity controlled the two important factors im drying. namely, heat and ventilation, apd there was no reason why artificial drying should not be a posi- tive success. With skill and experience it could be done casily and with satisfaction, He emphasized the importance of training and skillto make a success of brickmaking and ridiculed the folly of men who went into this business without such qualifications. ‘THE PAPER DISCUSSED. Amember stated that he did not think the difference in cost betweon the open-air process and the artificial was as great as the reader of the paper seemed to think. Allhe wished to say was that he advised the members to make haste slowly in changing the process. The discussion on the matter of dry- ing brick — was icipated in by a number of the delegates. Mr. Parry of New H: ire took the stand that the arti- ficial dryer would pay for itself in what it would save in a year and that in such weather aswe have had in Washington during the meeting of this convention it was almost a ne- cessity. ident of the association was galled on for his opinion and said that he had left Plumbing | business to go into the real estate business, which he had found even more profitable, and finally had gone into the business of making brick. His company made on an average 10,000,000 bricks year, and in all his experience they bad not Jost 100,000 bricks that Lad to go to the dump. He did not want to have anything to do with an artificial dryer. Mr. Holbrook of this city said that the com- pany which he had represented for fifteen yours had made, from twenty to thirty million brick a year and that in all time they had artificial dryer and he did not see how as many as they did they could out a dryer. of the country and with all varieties of clay—one system was bet- ter sometimes, the other at other times. > add i $ i Donahi +g J H A i RE y s 9 ; i if i Hi a : mainder of the session was occupied with bate over pointe of practical Inara > es BEATEN BY A DRUNKEN POLICEMAN, An Old Colored Man's Complaint Agsinst an Officer of the Law. terday, but a continuance was granted, and the THE WIFE'S TRSTIMONT.

Her bhue- band was lving across the bed asleep and be- fore he awoke the officer reached over and cluthea him. He struck her husband over the Witness anid she was sitting in a chair when the officer entered and «tumbled over her. She smelled whisky on him.

Lizzie Brooks, a young colored woman, gave Similar testimony. When the old man bad been struck, she said, he raised his head and said: “Oh, my God, am I killed’ oificer's reply was: “Lay down,you—— or ['ll kill you. James Henry, the old man’s son, corroborated what the others had «aid about the assault and said he had been in the house ail that evening. His statement differed from what Lizzie Brooks had said only as to the time. MAD TAKEN somETu=Na. Tn defense of the officer Policeman Kelly was called, and he testified that he was Murphy's partner Christmas night. They dispersed a crowd of men and Murphy went into the alley. When witness reached the house he saw the colored people and the officer there, and they accused him of the assault. He said that the old man had gotten in his way and be struck him, “What was your partner's condition?” in- quired the court. “Well,” replied the officer, “it was Christ- J he eaid be had taken something day.” Judge Miller wanted to know why in the world an intoxicated policeman was permitted to go on duty. “It is remarkable,” the Judge continued, “that an officer under the icfiesnoset’ ineeee should be permitted to partrol bis beat. very moment an officer gots under its influence bis hands should be tied.” MURPHY'S STATEMENT. The defendant said that he was perfectly sober before the trouble, but the excitement he had was too much for him.

Lawyer Moss called the court's attention to the complainant asking if the oficer had a war- rant, and Judge Miller told him it made no difference if the officer had 40,000 warrants. He was under the influence of liquor and be had no business there under any circumstances. “I want it distinctly understood,” said the judge, “that nobody ¢hall interfere with an officer in discharge of his duty and go unpun- ishe. pbold an oft ‘Tho court will always uj in the discharge of his duty; but when be goes into a man’s Louse under the influence of liquor and armed with aclub then he's to be looked after and he can't come and talk about being interfered with.” ‘The case went over until tomorrow and en attachment was issued for the injured man, ——_ THE AMERICAN INVENTORS.
