President and Mrs. Cleveland will ex.| Among them will be representatives of the Dandridge and change New Year greetings with the repre- sentatives of all the foreign countries with which we hold pleasant relations, and with & representative section of the American Public, according to the same old program which has been considered the dignified and proper thing since the White House has had an occupant. Unless death or sickness in- terrupt, the White House will present the same famillar scene this coming first day of the year as it has,say,for the last ten. Those who have watched the pageant once are as well able to describe it as one who has seen it dozens of times. The only change in the shifting of the panorama is the introduction of new figures. This time it will be a new deal ali around, and it is doubtful if a doz- en of those who took a prominent part in the reception of New Year of '92 will be seen again in their old places. Nobody, however, who is keeping up with the proces- sion has time to waste any sentiment over the changes wrought by the whirligig of politics, but somehow or other the topic has been uppermost lateiy and has invited dis- cussion. Last year, for the first time in many, the White House and all other offi- cial homes were closed on New Year on ac- count of the recent death of Mrs. Harri- son. But on Monday, in all human proba- bility, the play will be given again, and all the change the stranger will observe will be the entirely new cast. After all that is what makes Washington social life the unique, fascinating study it is. The new people provide fresh impressions and brand new experiences for those to whom the show might otherwise become a dreary, uninter- esting repetition. So let the band play. Roll up the curtain and let us enjoy what the gods have provided. The Wihte House, as old as it is and as shabby as it seems when a bright light is irtroduced into its dark corners, has some- thing very attractive about it to visitor: who have not been there in a long time ‘Virtually the house has been closed to so cial gatherings for the iast year and a hal. excepting the events that immediately foi- lowed the inauguration of Mr. Cleveland. The freshening up process has this time at- tacked the red room, and when the ambas- wadors and ambassadresses and all the rest of the foreigners meet there next Mon- day morning, ten to one they will spend the waiting minutes admiring the improve- ments. The high ceiling has a bright, jew- eled effect. There is a new warm-tinted carpet, the furniture has new red satin bro- caded coverings, the new window curtains are of the same material, and the woodwork of the room is mahogany, carved to har- nize with the mantelpiece, which has al- ways been the feature of the room. The floral decoration of the state parlors on New Year is very elaborate, and this time will be no exception. The mantels of the blue and east rooms are ally the show-off places for the best the gardener of | the mansion can do. President and Mrs. Cleveland, the Vice President and Mrs. Stevenson, and the cabli- net members and their ladies will exchange upstairs, but that will not prevent them from going formally through the same cour- tesy again when they reach the blue parlor. and then the diplomatic reception will be- gin. The Secretary of State takes a hand in this, as he mtroduces each foreigner to the President. After this formality is over, “Col. Wilson, commissioner of public butld- | jngs and grounds, Introduces all the rest of | | the official grandees to the President. Capt. William L. Pitcher of the eighth infantry 1s pilled to perform the same pleasing duty for Mrs. Cleveland on this and on ail similar vasions during this administration. | “Mhe program of the official reception, be- ginning at 11, will cover one hour and & hais, and the same time is allotted to the public, the whole reception to be over at set of 2 new administration requires some very nice handling. Those who are unfa- re lence, Atess and ail the rest of the |Brall things that torment. good people | sometimes have to be given the necessary | nformation, but it must waranty It fs understood that the cabinet ladies and the others invited to the blue parlor have been told that high-necked dresses are the proper thing for the occa: sion, and high-necked gowns will be worn exclusively. This very good advice | will collette ball gowns, reception dresses and all the rest of the elaborate and extremely plain totlettes usually seen at these New Year receptions. It is a wise precaution and will stert things going right. A number of ladies are asked behind the line. This list is long and includes all the jladies and guests in the Vice Presidential and cabinet households, and the wives and daughters of many Senators and Congress- men, as well as a number of Mrs. Cleve- lard’s acquaintances in private life. The Vice President and the members of the cabinet are also asked to remain in the blue parlor during the reception. ‘The Secretary of State and Mrs. Gresham entertain the diplomatic, corps at dasase on New Year day, after they leave the White House, following in this regard a custom as long established as the other forms of the day. ‘The Vice President and Mrs. Stevenson will receive callers at their hotel, La Nor- mandie, from 2 o'clock until 5, and will be assisted by their daughters and other mem- bers of their famfly, and a number of la- dies, mostiy Iflinois friends, wives of Sen- ators and members. All the cabinet ladies have arranged for receptions during the afternoon, and among the other official receptions of the day will be that held at the residence of Gen. Scho- field. Speaker Crisp’s wife will receive with Mrs. Stevenson. January 1, 1894, will usher in a lively week in social matters. After the varied pleasures of the day, society will be re- galed by a brilliant event at the British embassy, when the third daughter of Sir Julian and Lady Pauncefote, Miss Lilan, will be presented. Miss Lilian has been at- tending the holiday dances and last season participated to a small degree in the great occasions at the embassy. Senator and Mrs. Brice will give a dinner ty, the first of their winter series, on jew Year. Some of the other leading events of the week are in the following list: Tuesday—Mrs. Moore, a breakfast in hon- or of Mrs. Lamont. Wednesday—The marriage of Senator Faulkner and Miss Whiting at Hampton, Va.,will attract a large gathering of friends from here. Mrs, Stevenson and the ladies of cabinet families will receive, and generally their hours will be from 3 till 5. Senator and Mrs. Dolph will give a din- ner.

Mrs. Richardson Clover’s ball on the evening of January 17 will be a fancy dress ‘the-jadies and will be the leading event of the season. - Elaborate arrangements hive been made for the murriage Wednesday of Miss Eu- genta Fairfax Whiting to Senator Faulkner of West Virginia at the quiet Virginia home of the bride at Hampton. The prominence of the bride’s family and the distinguished station and public and family antecedents of the prospective groom com- bine to make the event a noted one. The renatorial groom will be accompanied from Washingtow on Monday by sixty friends. the compliments of the day when they meet | ‘Then the President, his wife, Mrs. Steven-) son and the cabinet ladies will form a line, | w . “The first of these receptions at the out- | miliar with fhe Httle details of position, | be done very | prevent the incongruous mixing up of de- | | Hunter, Pendleton, Conrad, Tucker families, relatives of the room.

The bride, Miss Eugenia Fairfax Whiting, is a daughter of Col. Henry Clay Whiting, president of the Hampton Bank. She has | been a belle in New York, Richmond and | Norfolk. She is a tall, graceful brunette | and very beautiful, possessing easy man- | negs, and ts very accomplished. After the marriage the distinguished couple will go | to Norfolk, and thence pass their honey- | me in Florida. They will reach Wash- | ington when the social season is at its height. A number of pleasant society events in their honor are already being ar- ranged. Senator Faulkner ts one of the brilliant | young men of his party in the Senate. He is @ man of Hberal views, and popular among all classes. The non-partisanship of | his associations is shown in having a re- publican Senator and a democratic Repre- | sentative among his groomsmen. Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Wilson entertained 2% party of old-time friends at dinner in their delightful home on Connecticut ave- nue last evening. The table was made, very attractive by the rare and beautiful china, glass and silver they collected aur- | | ing their frequent travels in foreign coun- | tries, the charming effect being height>ned | by profuse floral decorations of roses and | carnations.

Navigation on the San Marino is very difficult, and mene but an experienced boatman can pilot | & launch through this beautiful network of the tropics. Returning to Lake Butler, we explored its shores and visited the boiling spring in the center, which causes the tide in the jake to rise and fall three feet. It is be- Neved that an underground river, fully 100 feet below the surface, runs from the lake ‘to the gulf, where similar springs are focnd near Sutherland, and thus feeds the lake by the tide water of the gulf. At iow water we could see the opening in the bot- tom of Lake Butler, about ten feet square, from which the water was boiling. Returning to the gulf again by overland Passage we continued our way six miles to ‘Tarpon Springs, one of the largest towns | along the orange belt. Tarpon Springs, as its name. implies, is the home of that beau- tiful’ fish, the tarpon, and to have the pleasure of catching even one of those huge gamey fish rewards thi days of patient waiting. Other fish are found in great numbers, and besides this We succeeded in several quail and wild turkeys on the peninsula but a short distance from our boat lan: b The Anclote river is also a beautiful | Stream and extends for several miles from jthe neighborhood of Tarpon. Alligators could be seen quite frequently, several fully ten feet in length. The county authorities do not allow gunning for ‘gators in this | section, and for that reason they are much more plentiful than in other portions of the State. We returned, making a number of stops, id on reaching St. Petersburg, on the bay side, again enjoyed the fishing from the famous pier at this point, capturing a num- | ber of Spanish mackerel, trout, biue fish and sheepshead. These side trips make life in the south during the winter a perpetual period of en. joyment, and with summer weather exis ing all the time one cannot but appreciate | @ sojourn in Florida. Cc. EB. E. a NER” CAMP. A “FORTY, |Interesting Reproduction for | California Fair. From the San Francisco Chronicle. According to Indications, the forty-niner ; camp for which Maj. Frank Mclaughiin, | Senator George C. Perkins, Jonn 1. Sabin | and Senator Foley of Nevada obtained the | concession will prove an even more tuter- esting feature of the than was at first ) anticipated. Kugene Hahn, who has just | returned to town after a tour through the | intertor, made in the interests of the pro- | | Ject, reports that the collection of oii-time | ; Felics and curiosities will be far more ex-/| tensive than it was originally believed could | be brought together. A special feature vill | be a number of the mining cabins occupied in old days by distinguished Pacitic coast- ers, not copies, be it understood, but the | original structures, which have been taken | apart and will be transported to this city and re-erected at the fair. Senator Perkins” ola cabin at Thompson's Fiat, in which in old days he lived and slept and cooked his fapjacks and beans, is one of those which is | to come here. Senator Mair’s ts another ana John Mackay’s is still a third. An carnest effort was also made to obtain the Coloma | cabin of James W. Marshall, the original | discoverer of gold, but the state owns it, and permission to remove it could not be obtained. As the next best thing, nowever, @ fac-simile of the structure will be erected, and within it will be exhibited any number of actual reiics of the dead and gone ais- coverer. Among these will be his saddie, level and compass, all made by himself; aiso his lamp, stove, cooking utensils, &c., and number of other articies. Bisse A fac-simile of Sutter's fort, ten by ten feet in size and constructed of concrete, will also be given & place in the camp, and with- in this will be displayed a number of Sutter relics, including @ boot with a wooden sole once worn by the doughty general; aiso a pair of his spurs; a picture, the frame of which was gilded by himself; aiso the saw which cut the first boards ever sawn in ( ifornia and which were used in building Sut- ter’s mill. His cannon, first tired in Califor- nia in the year 1848, will also be exhibited. Among other curiosities of the camp will be the stage coach in which Hank Monk drove Horace Greeley on the latter's memor- able ride over the mountains. All the reiics will be authenticated, also, by certiticates establishing their genuineness beyond the Possibility of a bt. During the contifuance of the fair all the old-time operations of Ginn ite will be faithfully represented day after day, end besides an illustration of everything apper- taining to mining and cieaning gold, the sports and pastimes of the miners will be shown. Long pouches filled with goid dust and nuggets—brass filings and scraps—will be flung recklessly on the ‘aro table as of yore, and among the old-timers who will thus live over again “the days of old, the days of gold and the days of '4¥” will be that famous Meadow lake miner and pros- pector, John Clarke. A magnificent tigure of a man, over six feet high and weigning 250 pounds, he will be an attraction in him- self, merely to look at, but added to this no one will be better able to show just how the forty-niners worked the shovel, the pan ana the rocker, and between times “bucked faro” for all they were worth.
