When the grown-up foiks are able to tear themsclves away from the McLean mansion there is Miss Walcott’s debut tea and Miss Woodward's 5- o'clock tea, still pleasant events before dinner. Mr. and Mrs. 8. F. Emmons will givea dinner to- night and the Misses Morton will give a dancing party. Minister and Mrs. Guzman will give a recep- tion tomorrow evening at 9 o'clock. Monday—Mr. and Mra. Britton will ve a fancy dress bali for the little friends of ficir daughters, Sadie and Flora, at 6 o'clock. Tuesday—Mr. Robert Wallach will give @ danemg party. Miss Addie Carson,a tea to meet her guest, Miss Shelley of Alabama. Wednesday—The ladies of the cabinet will | hold their first formal receptions of the season. It is expected that all the cabinet honses will ve open save that of the Postmaster General and Mrs. Wanemeker. Senator and Mrs. Brice will give # dinner. The Bachelors’ German will hold their first astembiy at the Rifles’ Hall. The following gentiemen form the committee: Mr. William Hali Slack, Mr. Jesse Brown, Mr. R. 8. Chilton, Mr. CC. Glover, Mr. M. Herbert, Baron Von Kettler. Mr. Charies L. MeCawley, Mr. J. V. N. Phillips and Mr. Lee Phillips. Dr. Susan A. Edson will hold a reception at on Lstreet from 4 to 7 in honor ‘Thursday —Representative and Mrs. Tom L. Johnson will be at home at 9o'clock, when ‘@ invited to meet Mr. and Mrs. John 3 aw and Miss Marable. Satd@day—Minister and Mrs, Guzman and Mrs. Chapin will give dinners. Mrs. Cable will give a tea, 5 to 7. season is really on. If the program of the past week is kept up there will be no complaints, but what it was will be quite up to the mark. "Without much fuss or feathers the balls and dances followed each other in a happy kind of a way every night almost the past week until everybody who went to them all would be just as well pleased if the list was a little short for the coming six days. The Brice dance not only was well attended by town folks, but quite & number of New Yorkers are said to haye come on for it. On the whole the ball room received a delightful christening, and all sorts of leaeant things are being said of it and its jacky owners. The cotillion was participated in by about ahundred persons. One of the favors were corsage bouquets of lilies of the valley for the ladies and boutonnieres for the men of the same flower, all tied with long white ribbons. Supper was served at small round tables, each with an appropriate centerpiece. Tt isnot likely that Mrs, Brice will feel like giving any more large parties this season on the order of her tea. The invitations for that were liberal enough to suit everybody, and the op- portunity to havea look into the rejavenated mansion wae not neglected. nator and Mrs. Brice are going right along through the winter with a series of dinners, for whch indeed their new home ia particularly adapted. They ha cards out for the 4th, 1th and 18th, and will give another dinner on the 25th of next month. ‘The Thursday evening dance the past weck was a great success, but it could hardly fail to be so under the management it has. It is un- derstood that the party will be kept at its pros- ent limits and every effor: will be made to give the participants a real good time without any great pretensions or expenditures. ‘The dinner and dance last night as the Brit- ish legation quite filled the measure of bliss for a number of Lady Pauncefote’s most intimate triends, The date happened to be Miss Sybil's birthday and the festivity was arranged with wt view. Adinner to Mr. and Mrs. Alan nstone will be given when they return from eir bridal trip. Last night the dinner mpany included the Vice President and Miss Morton, Mr. and Mra. Forbes Leith of New York, who are gueste at the legation, Senator, Mrs. and Miss Cameron, Representative and Mrs. Bourke Cochran, Mr. and Mrs. Covarri bias, Mr. and Mrs. Michael Herbert, Miss War- de: Mise Brice, Miss Bonaparte, Miss Mary iach, Miss Wilson, Mr. McCawley, M: Horace Washington, Mr. Peel, Capt. Lan Mr. Depret, Baron von Kettler, Mr. Le Gh Mr. Souza Ross. Mavroyeni Bey and the Misses Pauncefote. For the after-dinner dance, to which the were bidden at 10 o'clock, company three times as large came in. There has been a good deal of speculation whether or not the debut of Miss Morton would be announced by the parents in some splendid way. The absence of Mrs. Morton rather heightened the idea that perhaps nothing out of the ordinary was intended. The very con- trary is, however, the truth. Miss Morton's debut party will "be given on January 9% A large cotillion, preceded by o dinner, is the form that it will take. ‘The din- ner will be laid on small tables in the large dining room, and will be all cleared away when the hour for the cotillion ar In other words, all the customs of a Patriarch’s ball will ob-ain and the event will be worthy the importance of the o¢casion and the hand- somest entertainment ever given here at the Vice Presidential mansion. Among the recently announced engagements is that of Miss Lily Elliot, daughter of Lieut. Col. George Eilfot of the United States army, to Mr. Fielding Lewis of Virginia, a descendant of the family of Washington. Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Hitchcock, jr.. have goue to Asheville, N.

AWAITING HER TRIAL The Holidays Pass Cheerlessly for Lizzie Borden in Her Prison, A NOTED CRIME RECALLED. Tracing the Family Back to William the Conqueror—Inducements to Allow the Pris- ener Every Loophole for Escape—Strong Case Against Her—Fatal Thursday. Correspondence of The Evening Star. Fara, Rrven, Mass., Dec. 27, 1892. Lizzie Borden spent a cheorless Christmas at Taunton jail. She received no callers either on Sunday or on the holiday, Monday, and there was nothing in the prison regime to indicate to the unfortunate girl that the season of peace and good will to men was passing. The continued illness of Attorney General Pillsbury, who is down with pneumonia at Northampton, has deferred the arraignment of Miss Bordon many weeks, and it is doubtful if January sees the day out for her trial. The suspense and delay is having a marked effect on the prisoner, and there are some who say that if her mind is not already affected it will be- come so, She does not talk much, but seems to dwell upon the train of events that has brought her to the prison doors. A DAY 10 BE FEARED, There is one day in the week that Lizzie Borden has become nervous abont. That day is Thursday. The prospect of a trial for mur- der is never reassuring, but the ordeal will have added terrors for her if it proves to begin on this particular day. ‘Thursday has been marked by such startling ill omens in connection with her case that she may well dread its weekly re- currence in the calendar. Such consistency in portentious happenings seems like something more than mere coincidences; it smacks of fatality, and may well awaken the apprehen- sions of a young woman quite as resolute and devoid of ordinary superstition as Mias Lizzie Borden. Thursday, August 4, was the day that An- drew J. Borden and Abby Borden were mur- dered—a day that must live as one of horror in the mind of fhe danghter, whether she be innocent of the crime or not. Thursday, August 11, one week after the crime and at the conclusion of a long examina- tion by District Attorney Knowlton, Lizzie was called into the dim corridor of the court room and there, alone with the city marshel. faced the awful chazge of having murdered her father and her mother. This, the second Thursday, was the day of her arrest and incar- ceration. Thursday, September 1, just four weeks after the murder, the long preliminary hearing be- fore Judge Blaisdell ended, and though many theories of the state fell with the failure to find blood on the hatchet, the unfortunate defend- ant was adjudged probably guilty, and was bound over to await the action of the Novem- ber grand jury. Thursday, December 1, seventeen weeks toa day after the tragedy, the grand jury finished their long consideration of the Borden case and yoted to indict this youngest daughter of the house for the murder of both her parents. In brief, every decisive event in the develop- ment of the Borden case has occurred upon Thursday, tho same day of the week as the crime, and the issue at every stage has turned against theaccusedgirl. Having been arrested, bound over and indicted on Thursday it is not strange that this day, already stained with her parents’ blood, secms to Lizzie Borden freighted with fearful portends of disaster. Small won- | der that she hopes her trial may begin under a different and possibly a happier augury. NEW PHASES OF INTEREST. ‘The orden case is one of the few tragedies that continually develop new phases of inter- est. The more we learn about it the more re- markable it appears. The tendency of all strange occurrences to resolve themselves upon closer scrutiny into the familiar elements of the commonplace is quite absent here. ‘The more closely the exact facts are followed the better the “story,” in a newspaper sense. ‘The prominence of the family gives the coming trial an interest in this part of the state sur- passing anything in the annals of the old colony. ANTIQUITY OF THE FAMILY. ‘The Bordens are to Fall River what the Car- rolls or the Bonapartes are to Baltimore. The family traces its ancestry back without a break to William the Conqueror. Andrew J. Borden could boast both “simple faith” and “Norman blood.” ‘The name is derived from Bourdon- nay, an ancient village of Normandy, where a thousand years ago Lizzie's ancesters’ resided. After the battle of Hastings they were as- signed estates in the county of Kent, in Eng- ‘tand. The earliest American representative of the name was Richard Borden, who came to Plymouth colony in 1635, and from him by a long line of Richards, Andrew J. Borden was descended. LIZZIE NAMED AFTER THE VIRGIN QUEEN. The name of the first Richard’s*daughter, Elizabeth, taken from tho virgin queen, under whose splendid reign he was born, reappears today in the “Lizzie” of the accused girl. ‘The only family in Fall River that rivals the Bor- dens in its wealth, social position and extensive mill interests are the Durfees, and these two families have been antermarrying for 200 years. ‘Three Borden sisters, contemporaries of Andrew, became respectively, Mrs. Dr. Nathan Durfee, Mrs. Joseph Durfee’ and Mrs. Nat. C. Durfee. INDUCEMENTS NOT TO PROSECUTE. When the hand of the law reaches out and ar- reste a daughter of these houses, and one who by tho very tragedy becomes an heiress, it as- sumes a grave responsibility—one that neither the city, county nor state officials would court. There is this to be said for the much-abused and accused authorities in this case: There every inducement for them not to pursue Liz- zie Borden if they saw any alternative. Take Judge Blaisdell, who presided at the in- quest and held Lizzie for the grand jury. His son married the daughter of Cook Borden and cousin of Lizzie Borden, and he himself was a personal friond of all “the parties concerned, ¢ District Attorney Knowlton, a friend of Mr. Bordon and more intimate with Mr. Jen- nings, Lizzie’s counsel, than with any other member of the Bristol county bar. Mr. Jen- nings is as certain of Miss Borden's innocence as of his own existence, and he threw the whole weight of his personal influence and profer- sional judgment against her arrest, but Mr. Knowlton feit compelled to override both. ‘Take Attorney General Pillsbury. He has an ambition to be governor of Massachusetts. With the feeling ‘so divided as to the girl's ithe cannot fail to suffer politically whether convicts her or not. Take the grand jury. There is hardly a man on the panel whose wife does not believe Liz- zie is innocent—and what a fate they invited by declaring that they think she may be guilty! . A STRONG CASE AGAINST LIZZIE. ‘The fact that the case has come to the point of trial, despite all these deterrent considera- tions, cannot but press home the unweleome umon that the afkte's prima facie case is te now. Wright, she knew in childbood. Their fret | meeting at the jail was one of the most pathetic incidents imaginable. They had not seen each other before for nearly twenty years. MEETING AFTER MANY YEARS. ‘Their former scquaintance was in Fall River. A young married woman, herself a mother, had conceived an especial fondness for the daughter of her neighbor, a bright, attractive child of ten, but grave and thoughtful beyond her years, ‘The young mother used to take this interesting child on one knee and her own daughter on the other, and tell them they must grow up to be gentle, kind and noble women. They meet again. The young mother’s dark hairis now as white as snow. little girl isa woman grown. with a woman's sad experiences, ® woman's pride, a woman's clifaticl heart. A change of fortune has made the one the ma- tron of the county jail, the other an inmate of the same institution!” They meet, not as of yore beneath the apple trees, but within the dim corridors 80 many that enter leave hope behind. wift glance of recognition, the Lizzie! Andas the changes of twenty years were forgotten in a mutual em- brace, the first tears that Lizzie Borden had shed since her arrest forced themselves from her reluctant eyelids. —>—-~ PORCELAINS AND RUGS.

Thi Jiji Shimpo, Tokyo's greatest daily and the ardent imitator of the London Times, predicts that this will still further cement the friendship existing between Japan and the United States, for manufacturers ere groan under the heavy dues imposed on such esentially impor products as porcelain, silk handkerchiefs and other fabrics and the long line of pretty and tasteful things that come under the heading of | “curios.” Speaking of silk in particular, this year has seen the largest export of any year in the last decade, As much as $1,009 p for firet-class filatureshas been paid, and thongh the market is now comparatively empty, ev thing of a higher grade having long since been exported, good hanks and re-recls still com- mand $350 to $850 per bale. Silk being one of the chief industries of this country, this active demand has had a most «alutary effec: on the empire at large, and trade has been q The rice crop is also far above the average. FINE POTTERY FOR THE Fark, ‘The greatest interest is every y- the world’s Columbian exhibition at Chicago. | This is fot only attributableto the comparatively very large appropriation (£600,000 Japanese eil- vercurrency) made by the government in or- der to exhibit Japan's finest manufactures in a befitting manner, but also owing to the inde- fatigable lubors of Mr. De Guerville of Chicago and Mr. L. Winston of the sume city, the Iatter tleman having given fresh impulse to the work of preparing high-class exhibits. The finest cloisonne porcelain ever made will be | shown next year at Chicago, aa well as perfect | and wonderful specimens of asabi-yaki, or “rising sun” pottery. The latter is the inven- | tiou of a German ‘ceramic specialist *for many years in the employ of the Japanese govern: ment, and consists in porcelain with a roseate flush or tint, the nearest possible counterpa: of the million hues of the “rosy-fiugered morn. In the one city of Nagoya there are no less | than fifty-three large mannfacturing firms desirous of exhibiting their porcelain, and of these at least thirty will ship to Chicago. I spent two or three days in this fine old city recently, ahd had the oppor- tunity of inspecting a ‘number of the finest specimens about to be forwarded. Taney were stored in huge fire-proof “‘godorns” and were | Most | truly marvelous products of fictile skili. interesting from a practical standpoint were some lamp shades traced in various colors and | decorated with dainty and exquisite pictures of birds and flowers in rehef.

Equal energy is shown by manufacturers in Osaka, the most prosperous if not the largest city (1,215,000 inhabitants) in Japan. But here as elsewhere I was met with the complaint that, generous as is the appropriation made by the government and spacious as the Japanese build- ing will be, literally hundreds of would-be ex- hibitors will not be able to send their wares to | Chicago on account of the lack of space. A large number of merchants have theretore con- cluded to rent, if possible, suitable buildings in the lake city and there exhibit, despite the fact that they can hope for no assistance from head- uarters,and that anything likea medal or iploma of honor is, of course, out of the ques- tion. Some enterprising foreigners in Yoko- hama, it is said, have obtained space in various parts of the world’s fair buildings, and this they are lotting out in small lots to such Japanese as can afford to pay the almost prohibitive price. There is no lack of eager renters. AN ARTISTIC PEER EXHIDIT. ‘The exhibit of the Asahi beer brewery of Osaka will be very striking. The company are making a huge barrel or vat in Japanese sty! and this is to be lacquered in black and gold, representing. the huge building in which the beer—a very excellent one by the by—is brewed. But in Tokyo the local authorities have refused to give their sanction toa number of Japanese products, including wines and other liquors, canned goods and patent medicines. For be it known that Japan is in nowise behind the most “enlightened” countries in the production of “cure-alls.”” Some of them, however, are really beneficial, notably the “health” food, and an iroy tonic, rejoicing in the style of ‘“salutar whith has ‘received gold medal from the Japanese government. For of all modern sciences medicine has made the greatest progress in Japan, and has awakened the most intelligent interest.

Among other exhibits the hand-woven cerpets of Mensrs. Fujimoto, Shotaro & Co. of Sakai are exceptionally beautiful.
