THE WORLD OF SOCIETY The Army and Navy Reception at the White House. RULERS OF LAND AND SEA. A Throng of Guests—Many Noted People Present—Reception at theKoreanLegation— ‘Teag and Other Entertainments—Personal Notes of Interest. ‘The presidential right arm had about all it could attend to Inst night from 9 toll. Few ‘more crowded receptions have ever taken place in the White House than the army and navy levee. The bright, clear night, the fact that it was the last of the card receptions so far as the residents here were concerned. and the pres- ence of many outsiders especially invited to wit ness this grand dress parade of our brave de- fenders by land and bv sea were the main Feasonsof the great crush. ‘The moonlight was another condition happily present, and the surroundings of the Executive Mansion never appear to better ad: ge than when fair Luna is attending to her duties in this acceptable way. Yet last night nobody seemed walkin toward thia goal of politicians with any especial idea of admiring moonlight effects on the} home of the President. ‘Ihe crowd was vai more interested in trying to get inside. The big house, with the lights twinkling from every window and the conservatories sparkling like & great gem, became a sort of will-o'-the-wisp for those who sat in their carriages an hour and some a half hour longer before they crossed its threshold. ‘The early birds got the best of it last night, as they usually do.” The corridor was well lined with gallant forms under shining uniforms and fair women in their best bibs and tuckers at 9 o'clock. At the same hour the car- riages were in double lines clear around to the 15th strcet door of the Treasury Department. With all who were coming there were none going till 10 o'clock. People who lived within sy distance walked to and from the reception, as thon they couid get in and get out at their own eweet will. ‘The officers had their eyes gladdened by tho generous profusion of the national colors dec- erating the east room Very well it was that the flags were bung high ‘The attractions on the tloor permitted nothing to be seen under six feet. “The President's flag was draped be- tween two others of the stars and stripes over the middie door. ‘The seeretary of the Navy's flag was looped over one of the mirrors and on j the other mirror of the west side of the room the artillery and cavaify flags were draped. American shields capped the fluted columns, that were also twined with smilax. ‘The mantel- pieces were banked with maiden hair fern. On one a big anchor, made of white roses, stood out in bold relicf: on the other three stars, the middle one of yellow roses and the two smaller ongs in acacia blossoms, were equally effective. There were decorations, and pretty ones, too, in the other parlors, and they did not entirely waste their sweetness on unappreciative eyes, either In the blue room the wantels were banked with purple orchids aud the doorways had parted curtains of smilax. When the hands of the tall clock in the ball pointed to 9 the son and daughter of the Presi- dent came down stairs leading a procession of friends especially invited to the blue room. In this company were Mra Dimmick, Mr. Jay Gould, Mr. Edward Gould, Miss Gould, Miss Kerens, daughter of Mr. Kt. C. Kerens of St. Louis, who 1s now a guest at the White House; Miss Foster, Miss Wanamaker, Miss Morgan, Miss Halsted, Miss Milier, Miss Sherrili, Mise Grace Davis, Miss Elkins, Mrs. Hazen, Mrs. Schofield, Mrs. Andrews, Miss Kilbourne, Mrs. Bugher, Miss Rusk, Mics Sherman, Mra. and Miss Breckinridge, Mr. Samuel Thomas of New York, Mr. de Lamar and a number of other gentlemen. Col. Ernst and Lieut. Parker then followed in the advance of the President and Mrs. Har rison. The Vice President and Mrs. Morton, the Secretary of the Treasury and Mrs. Foster, the Secretary of War and Mrs. Etkins, the Attorney General and Mrs. Miller, the Post- master General and Mre. Russell Harrison, Secretary Tracy and Mrs, Wilmerding and Sec- retary and Mrs. Rusk followed after them. It wus hoped last night, that all the cabinet ladies would receive, but Mrs. Wanamaker and Mrs. Noble were both obliged to send regrets. Mrs. Blaine came in late, but did not take her place in line, although asked to do so by Mrs. Harrison. ‘The crush in the blue room was something tobe remembered ‘There did not seem to be a foot of unoccupied space anywhere within its restricted boundaries, but packed as it was there were sad, disappointed lingering glances from everybody who was not urged to come in. Every now and then a fewforms would squeeze themselves out aud take along breath when the green room was renched. ‘Those who wanted to take home their gowns uncrushed refraimed from going back of the line, even when they were asked, but these few ‘cases were exceptional. Ail’ the diplomatic corps made a pomt of being there, even for a few minutes. During a few stort rexts in the re- ception the President und Mrs. Harrison took occasion to have a little chat with those who gathered about them. The rests, however, were few and far between, as the incoming throng did not dwindie until nearly 11, ‘The: theendofitcould beseen. ‘Iheattendance wasso large that the brass buttons did not show as well as they might.

Mr. and Mrs. Ye again entertained a choice company of their friends yesterday afternoon at the Korean legation at their second and last card reception. In addition to all the attractions of last week for the guests there was also dancing for the younger folks. The large dining room on the right of the entrance made a capital ball room, The legation was as usual fragrant with flowers and softly hghted by shaded lamps. Mra. Ye wore one of her ticet gowns of blue and pink silk. Mrs. Reeside, Miss Carrie Parker, the Misses Mendonca, Miss Kenna, Miss Tarr and Misa White helped to re- ceive. In the tea room Mrs. Sturtovant Moore, Miss Marie Moore and Mra. J. L. Pugh did the honors. Mrs. Morton, the cabinet families, the diplomatic corps and many others prominent in official and social circles were present. Senator and Mrs. Gorman are about to send out cards for # reception on the afternoon and evening of Tuesday, February 23, to meet the Marylanders who presented the superb silver service last epring to the Senator. Mrs. Romero held her last formal reception for the sexson yesterday, and it was the most brilliant of her series of Tuesdays, In addi- tion to her friends, many distinguished visitors from all parts of the country felt it a privilege to be present to enjoy the gay scene. Mrs. Romere wore a trained gown of black and pink cut velvet combined with pink silk. In the re- ceiving party, were Mrs. Allen, Mrs. Suther- land, Mrs. Blanchard, Mrs. Evans Thomas, Mrs. William L. Carpenter, Mra. Thos. Riggs, Mra. John Beall, Mrs. Menocal, Mrs. Jules Gutbridge, Miss Riddle, Miss Sherman, Miss Warfield, Miss Hunter, Miss Chandier, Miss M Miss Leila Herbert, Miss Minnie Brown, Miss Biount, Miss Greer, Miss Clephane, Miss Soule, the Misses ‘thomas, Miss Wilson, Miss Kelton, Miss Huyler, Miss Landis, Miss Naphys of Pailadelphiz, Miss Kenna, Miss Tarr and Miss Buell. At the beautifully decorated re- fresument table the young ladies took turns in doing the honors. The music and the dancing in the bali room never seemed more tempting, and when the crowd was not too great both could be enjoyed. Mrs. N. L. Jeffries will give a Iuncheon on Friday to meet her guest, Mrs. Mather. ‘Mrs. Greer has invitations out for aluncheon onthe 18th. + Senator and Mrs. Cockrell will give a dinner on Friday night.

The marriage of Mr. Edward Herbert Ryan “everbody.” Gen. Schofield and his fair young bride were the first to be presented to the Presi- dent and wife. They stood the crush in the blue room as long a8 they could, and that was not very long, before going out to the east room, where they held a levee. About half- ast 9 Mrs Blaine and Mrs. Damrosch came in. heir arrival created a hitle ripple of excite- ment. They passed behind the line, but only stayed a few minutes. Birs. Harrison donned a new gown last night. It was a princess of pearl white satin trimmed down the front, where the skirt partly opened to showa petticoat of pleated chitton with bands of grebe The same border was contin- ued around the edge of the skirt, and also made a becoming finish to the neck ‘The sleeves fitted to the wrist closely and were puffed high on the shoulders. She carried a buuch of white roses. Mrs. Norton wore pale blue brocade with ajacket bodice, the skirt of which was slashed in squares. A fall of pointe de Venise trimmed the low neck. She wore her necklace of diamonds—triple strandsof large solitaires— and more fine stones in her hair. ‘The other ladies receiviug in the line were Mrs. Foster, for whom it was the first appear- ance there since New Year day; Mrs. Miller, Mrs. Elkins, Mra, Wilmerding and Mrs. Rusk. ‘Mrs. Foster Wore pausy satin combined with a light mauve brocade and crepe de chene, Mrs. Miller wore white brocade and lace,’ dirs. Elkins, whose gown was of white corded silk with gold passementeries and an effective trim- ming of white ostrich tips; Mrs. Wilmerding, whohad on white brocaded silk with « low corsage edged with fine lace, a superb diamond pendant and necklace, aud Mrs. Busk, who wore light blue brocade and duchess lac ‘The house was filled from the east room tothe furthest point in the conservatory at 11 o'clock, when the President and Mrs. Harrison, after a womenade through the rooms, went upstairs. ir. Sousa and his red-coaied band, who had given a delightful musical grening t0 the com- pany, did not play “Home, Sweet Home,” until the presidential party had settled themselves to the discussion of their supper upstairs in the corridor. Appetizing odors all over the house turned many a mind supperward, and the anxiety to get somewhere where this not un- usual desire might be gratified caused as much haste and hurry to get out of the White House as there wax to get in catlier in the evening. It was long past midnight before the chosen company upstairs got out, whove carriages were waiting at the south entrance for them, and worse still was the trial of patience on the part of those whose teams were waiting in front. The vestibule was crowded with closeiy wrapped forms und even down under the awn- ing there were others who thus hoped the sooner to catch their driver's eye. The major- ity of the guests, however, remained very sensibly in the parlors until it was powsible to get into the cloak rooms comfortably, to say nothing of waiting outside. Nothing short of the wisest precautions and the most orderly arrangement ever got the people in and out safely There were 6,000 invitations sent out for this series of receptions which closed last night. It looked like most of the recipients put off coming till the lust one. Amozg the fine toilets were those of Mrs. McKee, who was in a princess gown of rove- bud brocade with a Watteau sash of blue moire; Mra Russel Harrison, who was in white ‘silk with spangled tulle around the shoulders and forming the sleeves; Mrs. Dimmick, who had on a court gown of black velvet and jet; Mra. E.8. Yergason, marechal neil crepe and ov trich feather trimming with a diamond neck- lace; Miss Yergavon, in blue crepe: Mra. Estey, in white corded silk and silver passementerics; Mrs. Hazen, white brocaded ‘silk and point lace; Mrs. Bugher. white bengaline and duchess lace; Miss Sherrill, mauve bengaline and the bodice trummed ‘in chiffon; Mrs. Blaine, in mauve combined with light brocade, sleeves of point lace; Mrs. Damrosch, in white bengaline and silver menteries; Mrs. Brewer, black velvet and Miss Elizabeth Louise Sweeney will take lace at St. Aloysius’ Church tomorrow evening at 5 o'clock.

Miss Floride Cuningham and her sister, Mins Lizzie Pickens Cuningham, are visiting Mrs. F. G. Du Pont at the Powder Mills on the Brand: wine, Del. Miss Floride Cuningham is still suffering from her protracted illness from the grip. A pleasant social affair took place last night at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. H. T. Doyle, ‘Takoma Park. It was a dancing and euchre party combined and the guests hud the whole jouse to themselves, ‘The house was elaborately decorated with palms and ever- greens, while choice cut flowers were liberally Placed’ in various parts of the house.

The tailor is one of the few men whose merits it is reasonable to judge by the clothes he wears. He sent a valentine; the truth All tearfully he tells; She scorned him for another youth Who sent her caramels. “Phwere are yez going?” asked Mr. Dolan, who was out shopping with his wife. “Till the stationery department.” “arrah, if it's something stationery yez want, phy don’t yez kape off the ellyvathor?” “What kind of a man do you expect to be if you persist in this career?” said the stern father. “I don't know, I'm sure,” was the reply; “but I'm sure I can never hope to raise a son 80 successfully as you have done.” “Have you ever writtenefor the press?” she asked of the young man who works for her father. “Oh, he answered. “I wroteto a hard- ware firm yesterday for a copying press to use in the business.” A HOPELESS CASE. “No,” said Willie Washington, “I don’t be- heve that nine tailors make a man.” “Why not.” “T've got seventeen of them.” A ringing appeal—the summons to the waiter. Ah, soon the season will be here Of which swains often dream, ‘When it’s ‘most too warm for oysters And ‘most too cold for cream. It is evident that the quotation “Vico is a monster” was never intended for the ‘vice presidency. —————— WHAT MR. BATES SAYS. ‘The Ex-Commissioner of Navigation Defends His Course in Office. ‘Mr. Wm. W. Bates, the ex-commissioner of navigation of the Treasury Department, whose somewhat involuntary retirement from the pubhe service was noted last Monday, is not wholly satisfied with the public statements that have been made concerning the reasons for his resignation. He said today toa Stan reporter: “It is un- true that Secretary Windom ever found fault to me or to any of my friends,tomy knowledge, about anything contained in .ay report of 1890. I believe it untrue that he disavowed any of its matter, and it is falsé that he ever revised a line of it. So faras I ever ascertained, from contact with this good, just and great man, there was nothing unsatisfactory in my conduct of the bureau of navigation. Had he lived I have every reason to believe our Jensant relations would have continued. Mr. Windom sympathized deeply with our ruined shipping interest in the foreign trade, and was careful to learn sie) cigar) interviews be- fore my appointment that I, too, was what the press bas termed an ‘advanced thinker on the subject of the shipping interests of the United States.’ He freely gave the great exertion that ended his life to promote the shipping case. “As tomy not keeping to the lines of the wlicy laid down by the President, there must Pe some mistake. ‘These lines are understood to be those of the — platform, the ‘re- habilitation'ot the merchant marine by pro- tection of Some kind, of course.

The clamor for appointments on the police force by local aspirants has been so great dur- ing the last few dass that the Commissioners have been obliged to call a halt on the applica tions that are coming in by the dozen. Com- missioner Ross said today in conversation with a Stan reporter that the Commissioners had decided not to entertain any more applications until they shall have received a certified cop: of the opinion of the Supreme Court in the Hutton case. In view of this Maj. Moore, who was present, said it would be useless for” per- sons who are eligible as applicants under the law to present themselves for examination be- fore the board of surgeons until the Commis- sioners can formulate the necessary rules and regulations to govern the subject. * LABOR DAY IN THE DISTRICT. In @ letter to Congress the Commissioners have stated, in answer to a resolution of the Honse, that they know of no objection to the observance of Iabor day in the District of Columbia, > A Complaint Against the Anacostia Railway. To the Editor of The Evening Star: Asa taxpayer of Washington and @ patron of the Anacostia and Potomac river railroad I want to raise my feeble voice against the out- Tageous treatment passengers receive at the hands of the corporation. To begin with, the cars furnished are small and dirty. During the recent inclement weather the floors of the cars were covered with bay which resembled old horse bedding and emitted a foul odor. Conductord are scarce, only about one-third ot the cars being provided with them. Several days ago I bad occasion to visit the alms house took one of the company’s cars at the corner of 9th and B, str northwest. After some e I discovered that I had made a mistake in the car, which instead of going by the way of 1Ith and G streets southeast carried me to 11th and M streets southeast As there is another line of carson Lith street which connects with the ghost line that runs every hour or so to Con- gressional cemetery of cOurse I concluded I would receive a transfer. What was my sur- Prise to learn upon application to the driver (there was no conductor) that the company did not permit trans‘ers. So I had to waik from M street to G and then pay an extra fare on the Ghost line. This 1 submit is not in accordance with the terms of thecompany’s charter, which provides: “And the rate of fare charged by suid company shall not exceed 5 cents a passenger Letween the termini of said road Just # word more in ‘ben:if of the poor drivers and conductors. The drivers are p: the starvation pittance of 12 cents per hour, while the conductors, whom the company des- agnate by tiny'metal signs as collectors, receive but 9 cents per hour. ‘This company pleads the poor act, says it is barely paying expenses, yet even now it is seeking to further extend it lines and pre-empt valuable territory. The ghost line, which runs from 11th and G streets to the work house, isa disgrace, and there is not a person who has ever used it that will anot agree with me. These cars run at any time--I mean, this car, for the company is oper- ating at present but one car—and vis- itors to the Washington Asylum and the Congressional cemetery have to wait in all sorts of weather for this one poorly equipped car to muke the long round trip, which usually takes from balf to three-quarters of an hourand sometimes more. ‘Ihe company pays no attention whatever to the public mter- ests. During @ recent show storm no effort was made to run acar, and for a number of days the tracks remained unswept and the people who depended upon the road were forced to foot it, If a railroad obtains a val- uable charter it should be made to live up to its terms. 1 byt voice the sentiment of a number of cit- izens in the southeastern section of the city when I say that Congress should look after th: road, Pxo Boxo PonLico. as A Problem in English Grammar. To the Editor of The Evening Star, “I have the honox to submit the following re- port of the business of thié office for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1890,” is a sentences involv- ing an expression quite frequently used by de- partmental officials und often copied by news- paper writers, which, nevertheless, is incorrect, according to the authors on grammar. In- stead of the perfect participle “ended” wi should use the present participle “ending” in such sentences. ‘This is shown more clearly by Prof, Greene, author of Greene's English Gram- mar, than by any other author with whose works I am fami Ho says: “1. There are, properly, two participles—the present and per- tect. 2. ‘These two particivles correspond to the present and perfect teuses of the verb. They are used in abridged propositions; the former, when the proposition beiore its abridg- ment was in the present, the past or the future tense.” Now, the unabridged form of the sentence in question should be: “I have the honor to sub- mit the following report of the business of this office for the fiscal year which ended June 30, 1890." Hence, as the verb ended is in the past tense in the unabridged form of the scntence, we must effect its abridgment, accord Greene, by omitting the subj substituting the present participle tor the verb “ended.” W.
