Already many cases have been observed by physicians in New York city, as well as in other cities of the land. Dr. Cyrus Edson of the New York board of health, says that the disease will manifest its presence generally in the very near future and that iz is already here more than is generally realized. He said: “I think we will have a grip epidemic soon, and there are Indications that it will be a long stege. While I do not want to create a scare, I would warn people to beware of It and to use all the precautions possible. Experience has shown that carelessness in habits and irregular hours render the system too weak to stand so violent a disease. Grip finds easy victims in old people and in debili- tated persons.”* There is but one thing for any man, woman or child to do when the slightest symptom of grip appears, und that is to counteract it at once. If you feel tired, have pains in the muscles and bones, have a dull headache. a bad taste in the THE SOCIAL WORLD. | Handsome Dinner to the Diplomatic Corps Last Evening. MRS.

It was filled with a bed of La France roses, dotted over with marguerites in the center and at intervals, rising to a pyramid surmounted by a ribbon palm. The same combination of flowers deco- rated the cross sections of the cloth. The | tapers and the shades were pink and the sweetmeats were In the same color. The company was unusually expeditious in arriving, as foreigners are very apt to be at any state occasion at the White | House. Before dinner wes served the President and his wife had enjoyed fully | fifteen minutes’ conversation with their guests in the east room. It was there that | the gathering showed off to the very best advantage. The diplomats wore their dec- orations and orders, brightening up the usual evening dress very effectively. The ladies’ gowns were without exception as elegant and perhaps more so than those worn to any other event this winter. The President took in Lady Pauncefote to dinner and at the end of the proces- sion of couples Mrs. Cleveland was escorted by the British ambassador, Sir Julian Pauncefote. After them were nearly a doz- en gentlemen who had to escort each other, as there were not enough ladies to go) around, At table these gentlemen had the | places at the cross sections. The pres- ence of the four ambassadors, and all the ministers save Mr. Souza Rosa, the Portu- gese minister, made the dinner quite the most important of its kind ever given at the White House, and the fact that for the first time in the history of this coun- try a Chinese lady of rank was a guest, makes this dinner something quite out of the common. The Chinese minister, Mr. Yang Yu, was | accompanied by his wife. Her presence was a source of great pleasure to Presi- dent and Mrs. Cleveland, as well as the company. The couple came with the Mexi- can minister and his wife, and Mme. Rom- | ero really had the honor and pleasure of Daytime Dress. +buttoa REYNIER’S—$2.25. 4-button PERRIN’S ELK TAN—$2. 4button AUG.

On her head she wore a hat | ornamented with flowers and that had long ribbons hanging to the waist. Her wrap which she laid aside before she went down to the east room was of pale blue brocade, made a great deal after the prevailing style, with wide-skirted cape, and was so elegant that any belle would like to have it. Mrs. Yang Yu was taken into dinner by Mr. Tavera, the Austrian minister. She greatly admired every detail of the event | and was especially enthusiastic over the | beauty of the ladies and their gowns. She | has learned several English phrases, es- pecially the use of the word “pretty,” and, womanlike, made no mistakes in applying it. Altogether her first appearance in so- | ciety was a great success, and a pleasant remembrance to both the minister and her- self. Mrs. Cleveland wore a yellow brocade in which the colors were vivid. The skirt had the fashionable fullness and the low-neck- ed bodice had great puffed sleeves of yellow | velvet. A fall of lace and some fur edging made the stylish and becoming finish to the front of the corsage, and with which her diamond ornaments were particularly effective.

Mrs. Faulkner held a most brilliant and delightful reception yesterday afternoon. It being her first appearance in Wash- ington society invested the reception with than ordinary interest. Senator Faulkner was present during the latter bart of the afternoon and had the pleasure of greeting many old friends and enjoyed | introducing them to his bride. The parlors of the Senator’s residence were tastefully decorated with palms and potted plants, the bay window being one mass of green and the mantels banked with cut flowers. Mrs. Faulkner received in black velvet with trimmings of point lace and jet and carried bride's roses. Miss Enloe and Miss Stewart presided at the tea table and Miss Pearson of Kentucky served punch. The other ladies of the receiving party were Mrs. Chas. Gibson, Mrs. B. H. Warner, Mrs. William Wirt Dixon, Mrs. Souther- land, Mrs. C. C. Bassett, Mrs. Daniel, Miss Scott, Miss Faulkner, Miss McDonald, Miss Berry, Miss Love of Virginia and Miss Boydie Faulkner. The parlors were crowd- ed during the hours of the recurs and one might have thought a large ehtertain- ment was in pi . A most interesting feature of the reception was the presence of the Senator’s mother, who made a beau- tiful picture of serene old age, with her white hair and a veil of fine old lace over her head. It looks as though canvassing for the poor was going tu be very fashionable next week. Many of the ladies who are going to enter the campaign under the direction of the citizens’ committee are well known in society circles. It will probably be the thing to present a subscription book with one’s card, and such auspices will certainly be sure of a favorable reception. Never since the doors of the handsome home of the Columbia Athletic Club were first thrown open in 1887 have its four walls inclosed a more brilliant gathering than they did last evening. The ladies’ reception, which has been so eagerly looked forward to by the fair friends of the Co- lumbia boys, is over, and in the mind of |everyone who was so fortunate as to be present there will for a long time linger memories of a delightful evening. ine beautiful club house was gay with bunt- ing and evergreens from the very door- way to the big gymnasium on the top floor. In every turn of the broad stairway stood banks of tropical plants, and in the parlors were arranged many pleasing ex- amples of the florist’s skill The gym- nasium, where dancing was indulged in, | Was hung with flags of all nations, inter- mingled with the club colors, and at one jend of the room a huge banner with the well known C. and winged arrow was draped from the gallery railing. Punch and lemonade were served in the fencing room adjoining the gym. A very pleasant feature of the evening was the music of the Tuxedo quartet of Chicago. The guests were met by the reception committee, Mr. . E. Coon, president of the club, and Messrs. Charles W. Schneider, William R. King. Fred S. Smith, R. Edwin Joyce, Chas. Howard, Gilman M.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 18, 1894, Diplomats and politicians are waiting with considerable interest to see how Hawaiian Minister Thurston will be received by the State Department upon his arrival here. He is due tomorrow. The charge d’affairs of the Hawaiian legation called upon Sec- retary Gresham this morning and notified him of the expected arrival of Mr. Thurs- ton. In view of all that has been said publicly by Minister ‘Thurston against the eiminie-| tration’s policy it can hardly be expected | that his relations with the State Depart- | ment will be as cordial as they should be. Yet, as Minister Willis must be as nearly persona non grata to the provisional gov- ernment of Hawaii as Minister Thurston is to this government, the present disposition of the State Department officials appears to be to acknowledge Mr. Thurston as the duly accredited representative of the pro- visional government, and it was said at the department today he would be received whenever he called. The expectation, how- ever, is that his visits to the department will be few and far between. ~ 000 A Paper on John Paul Jones. On’ Monday evening, January 22, at 8 o'clock, Commodore R. W. Meade, U.

THREE MILLIONS MISSING. Mrs. Leland Stanford Swears That Her Husban Estate is Impaired. The filing of a legal inventory and ap- Praisement of the estate of the late Leland Stanford, at San Francisco, brings to light further information of the reported trouble between the Stanford and Huntington inter- ests in the Southern Pacific. Mrs. Stanford, as executrix, also filed a sworn declaration that certain property belonging to the es- tate had not come into her possession, though knowledge of the ownership of such properties 1 ww, = cotate had come to her. e es! value by hy of these missing stocks Outside these missing stocks the late Sen- — 8 whole estate is appraised at $17,688,- 1. P. “The story that these securities are withheld from Mrs. Stanford is oe false, and you may deny it as emphatically as you please. “There is a perfect understanding be- tween Mr. Huntington and Mrs. Stanford. She has made no demand for the securities and will bring no suit. “It is true that certain stocks and bonds were put into the South Pacific Improve- ment Company by Gov. Stanford during his life, to be used for certain purposes, under agreement with other gentlemen who contributed like amounts, among them Mr. Huntington. “When these purposes shall have been fulfilled there will be an accounting, and the securities or their proceeds will be re- turned to the Stanford estate. “The fact that Mrs. Stanford, as execu- trix of her husband's estate, mentions these securities in her inventory as a part of the estate which has not yet actually come into her possession probably led to the re- port that they were being ly with- held from her, which is not true.” ‘The “Spy Gallery” Must Go. From the New York Sun. Postmaste> Dayton received instructions from Washington yesterday to call for bids for the removal of the “spy gallery.” This gallery has for the past two years been one of the mysteries of the post office. There is a weird, Spanish-Inquisition air about it which gives one a chill. The post office inspectors, about two years ago, requested that a gallery be built across the sorting and distributing room, some twenty feet from the floor, from which they could watch suspected clerks. This gallery was built and was inclosed on both sides with blinds. Then Uncle Sam's sleuth- hounds began to look for malefactors. It was great fun for the clerks. For a long time the blinds would creak every time they were opened and the clerks would laugh. The feelings of the man who opened the blinds do not figure in the official re- port. It must have annoyed him, however, to hear a snicker throughout the room just as he was prepared to do an afternoon's patient watching. Then, again, after the blinds were in perfect working order, the sun would manage to get above the glass roof of the post office and the clerks would see a dark shadow in the gallery. Now and then a clerk would espy a pair of eyes peer- ing intently through an opening in the ee ees WINTER'S CHILLS MAKE WINTER’S PAINS. Winter weather is dangerous.
