The United States War Vessels o' ‘Their Way—Status of the Miantono- moh. Nothing concerning the state of affairs at Rio developed today, and it is therefore believed at the State and Navy departments that there has becn no material change in the situation. Capt. Andrews, the Amer- ican merchantman commander, who claims that he was imprisoned by President Peix- oto, fatled to materialize at the State De- partment today, according to his promise, and it is stated that no complaint from him has reached this government. - Tomorrow or next day the Navy Depart- ment expects to hear of the arrival of the cruiser San Francisco at Pernambuco, on her way to Rio Janeiro. Admiral Benham has no oredrs to stop there, but he will ee. do so to learn something of the razilian situation, and to communicate with the department. It is also likely that the San Francisco will touch at Bahia. The status of the Miantonomoh contin- ues to be a topic of speculation among naval officers and opinion is divided on the ques- tion whether she will or will not be sent to Rio. It seems to be definitely settled that the monitor will go as far south as Trinidad, but whether she will go thence vo Brazil cannot be learned, although it is hinted from an authoritative source that her future movements will depend alto- Sether on the progress of events in Brazil There is no doubt that one of the reaso! that induced Secretary Herbert to order both the New York and the Miantonomoh to sea was his desire to get them away from the New York navy yard, where the usefulness of officers and men’ was being impaired with respect to seamanship and ordnance practice, 5 nl Star of Hope Lodge. Last evening there was a large attendance of the members at their lodge room, corner of 19th and Penksylvania avenue northwest, besides many visitors from different sister lodges, and one gentleman was admitted to membership. The members of this lodge are noted for their sociability in making their friends feel at home and having a good time while amongst them, The G. C. T. of the District of Columbia presided during the evening. The many friends of Mr. Geo. C. Ballinger of this lodge are glad to learn of his improved condition. It is also proposed to have a watch-night service on New Year eve, at which a select program and refresh- ments will be the order of this occasion, and all members of the different lodges are cordially invited. The program of the even- ing was announced by Miss Ida Lanman. Opening. remarks, by G. C. T. J. W. Van Vleck; piano solo, Miss Flora Hudson; read- ing, W. H. Hope; remarks, Mr. T.

Refresh. ments of ice cream and cake were after- ward served, — Santa Claus at Salem. The Salem Baptist Sunday school was addressed last evening by Mr. Cemp of Philadelphia, Pa., who made a very inter- esting talk to the children. He was intro- duced by Mr. D, A. Lane, M. D., superin- tendent of the school. The occasion was the annual Xmas tree to the school, which Was unusually blessed this year. The la- dies of the school organized a sewing circle several months ago to make underwear, etc., for the poor children of the school, and several merchants and other persons very kindly donated useful articles for the tree, which, supplemnted by the proceeds from a very successful concert, made quite a fine showing. The church was beautifully decorated with evergreens, flags and v: ers of different kinds. The table, which reached the full length of the church, was heavy laden with good things for the little ones. It is said to be one of the best entertainments of the kind that has been given by the schools this season. Santa Claus was characteristically dressed and took his part exceptionally well. Mrs. Annie F. Terrell, Mrs. Susie G. Lamkins, Mrs. Edmonia Dutch, Miss Esther John- son and Miss Ada Lucas were the chief promoters of this good work and deserve great credit. Rev. 3. Geriah Lamkins is) the pastor. ; —___ Sunday School Entertainment. Two fine Christmas trees laden with pres- ents delighted the children of the Sunday school of the First German Reformed Church, 6th and N streets, Wednesday evening. The program consisted of recita- tions by sixty-six children of the Sunday school and vocal and instrumental music. The Christmas cantata was rendered by Prof. A, W. Meyer and his pupils. At the close of the exercises the gifts were dis- tributed by St. Nicholas, who was repre- sented by one of the gentlemen. —— Fined for Annoying a Chin: \.

Many Receptions That Interested Wash- The Gayeties of the Holiday Season— Last Night's Functions Numer- ous and Pleasant. ‘The Star will on Saturday publish e list of those receiving or not receiving on New Year day. Persons desiring to announce that they will or will not receive can do so without any charge by sending novices to The Star at any time prior to 9 o'clock Saturday morning. The notices should con- tain only the announcement whether there will or will not be a reception, the names and the addresses. Every notice must be properly authenticated to insure publica- tion, Mr. and Mrs. William D. Cabell gave a handsome reception last night to the Asso- ciation of Modern Languages, and about 150 of their friends were invited to meet them. ‘The special guests had an opportunity of meeting a number of prominent peopie, with whom they had many tastes in common, and the evening was one of pleasure to all. ‘The delightful hospitality in this pleasant home, So spacious and well adapted to entertain- ing, made the reception another agreeabie memory for the home friends of the bost and hostess, as well as a most successful feature of the stay of the members of the association in this city. Prof. Price of Johns Hopkins had the pleasure of introduc- ing his colleagues to Mrs.Cabell,and after the pleasant exchange of introductions every- body knew everybody else before the com- Pany adjourned to the supper room for the well-served collation. A reception was given last night at the Washington Directory for Nurses, 1448 Rhode Island avenue, by a committee rep- resenting the Medical Society and the ‘I'rain- ing School for Nurses, to the seventy nurses Who are registered on the books of the di- rectory. The occasion was a pieasant one all around. in the reception committee were Prof. and Mrs. Wilson, Dr. and Mrs. J4. H. Barker, Dr. and Mrs. 'S. 8. Adams, Dr. i. L. 4. Jofinson and Dr. McLaugniin. Mrs. Mary A. Lerch, superintendent of the direc- tory, was the hostess of the event and in- troduced the nurses to the committee and to each other. A finer looking boay of young women it would be very hard to find than the nurses. ‘hey are graduates of jeariy all the best training schools of the country and a few come from Canada, ingiand and ireland. They came last night in their pret- tiest evening gowns, and no one would sup- pose, looking at them, that it was their bus- iness to spend long nights and ceasciess vigils beside the sick and dying. Nurses are @ good deal like soldiers. They must a: swer a call instantly and their ranking at the directory depends entirely on their rec- ords for promptness and faithfuiness to thelr duty. Or their efficiency there is never any Goubt at all, or they would not be sent out. The directory is not a money making institution, nor is it ever likely to be. It will provide at any hour of the day or night a nurse, of whom knowledge is kept from the moment she takes charge of @ case until she leaves the house of the pa- tient and again registers at the directory. The directory is now self-supporting and prosperous, and the gathering last night Was to better acquaint the committee who have so far furthered the project with the personnel of the useful little army whose movements they control, amd to introduce. the nurses to each other. In both respects the reception was a perfect success. Dur- ing the evening there were nmsical selec- tions by the Capital a@ recital by Hendricks nd Gregory Engla: lendricks ai Mrs. of England. Refreshments were served from an abun- dantly supplied table of the directory din- ing room. Ten nurses make their perma- nent home at the ry, except they are out on duty. The ball room at Corcoran House pre- sented one of its familiar scenes last night, when the Misses Brice were entertaining a number of their friends at their first dance of the winter. There were quantities of fine palms decorating the halls and corri- dors, and the Marine Ban@, occupying one end of the north balcony, played the music, to which many feet kept time till early this morning. The young Pretty gowns of white satin and tulle and Mrs. Brice wore a superb toilet of black lace. Among these present were many prominent in diplomatic life, as well as the younger set seen at all the events of each winter. Miss Wainwright's, coming-out tea yes- terday afternoon crowded the home of her }parents, Lieut. and Mrs, Wainwright, on New Hampshire avenue, with her and their friends. The flowers sent to the young lady were evident in every direction, and she se- lected one bunch from the collection, a cluster of La France roses, to carry. Her gown was the conventional one of white muslin and lace, and Mrs. Wainwright wore black silk and jet. Mrs. Seaton Schroeder, in a becoming gown of red crepe, presided at the tea able, assisted by Miss Hazeltine, who wore light blue wool, trimmed with lace. The Misses Reeder, who will make their formal debut on Saturday, and Miss Mimmack as- sisted in entertaing the company. Mrs. M. Matthews and the Misses yesterday, which was attended by large circle of friends in Georgetown and in the city. The house was decked with the most fragrant flowers, and in the tea room a centerplece of American beauties seemed to light up the whole apartment. Mi Matthews, in a gown of black satin, w assisted by her daughters, one of whom wore white silk, with gold embroidery, and the other pink and white striped silk. As- sisting them in welcoming their friends were Mrs. Hawkins Dorset and Miss Dor- | set of Baltimore, Mrs. Campbell. Mrs. Henry Matthews. Mrs. Hol orth Gordon. Mrs. Edmund Talcott, Miss Billings, Miss Wheat- ley, Miss Stewart, Miss Dunlop, Miss Laura Bailey. Miss Lily Mix. Miss Eva Gilbert and the Misses Ballinger, who are the guests of the Misses Matthews. Mrs. David Smith, wife of Paymaster Smith of the navy, who is just now absent on a cruise, opened up her pleasant Con- necticut avenue home yesterday by a large reception from 5 to 7, at which Miss Smith, her daughter, was introduced to her friends.
