Many Charming A: stants—Teas, Re- ceptions, Dinners and Luncheons. The receptions yesterday afternoon in the cabinet round attracted as large crowds as the first events of the season. It looked like the last spurt towards the close. Next Wednesday's receptions will be the last formal ones to be held by the wife of the Vice President and the cabinet ladies this season, The series thus far has been inter- esting, and yesterday's events, now that the strangers are getting well acquainted, were particularly so. Mrs. Stevenson welcomed hundreds of callers, and the three parlors at the Nor- mandie, where she was receiving, were thronged from 3 until after 5. Her gra- clousness of manner and the especially at- tractive corps of assistants with which she is always surrounded on these occasions will cause her receptions to be long remem- bered. She wore a rich toilet of black velvet and jetted net in the trimmings. Assisting her were Mrs. Palmer, Mrs. Mills, Mrs. Logan, Mrs. Catchings, Mrs. Joseph Washington, Mrs. G. A. Washing- ton, Mrs. Goldzier, Mrs. Marsh, Mrs. Berg- land of Baltimore, Mrs. Eckles, Mrs. Lam- bert Tree, Mrs. Tucker, Mrs. John C. Black, Mrs. Weber, Mrs. King and Mrs. Moore. Miss Pauncefote, Miss Murphy, Miss Stillwell, Miss Fullerton, Miss Reed, Miss Crocker, Miss Breed, Miss Mannix were the young ladies who with Miss | Scott met the callers in the second and third parlors and chatted agreeably with each. At the refreshment table, from which chocolate and cakes were handed about by the young ladies Miss Worthing- ton did the honors. Mrs. Gresham had her niece, Mrs. Fuller, Mrs. George Smith and Miss er of Chicago, Miss Mills and Miss Rockfellow of New York to entertain her callers. Mrs. Carlisle had Mrs. Fort, Mrs. Dixon, the Misses Aldrich, Miss Abert, Miss Shel- ley and Miss Pearson to help her entertain the throngs who were in the house from 3 until after 5. In the dining room Senator Faulkner's bride was the observed and ad- mired of all at the head of the tea table, while Miss Faulkner did the honors at the opposite side. irs. Lamont had an unusually large reception, as so many of her recent guests were paying their party calls. Mrs. Haw- kins, Mrs. Ainsworth, Mrs. Agnes Hunting- don Cravath, Mrs. and Miss Bryant of New York, Miss Corinne Blackburn, Miss Cork- | hill, Miss Gilmore, Miss Lockwood, Miss | Merrick, Miss Aline Wilcox, Miss Wilson of Boston and Miss Grace Sanders were chatting with the visitors. The callers who were in about 5 enjoyed a great treat in listening to Mrs. Agnes Huntingdon Cra- | veth sing several sweet-toned ballads, her superb voice being heard to the very best advantage. Mrs. Bissell also had a number of most agreeable ladies to meet her many cailers. Mrs. Chas. Tracey, Mrs. Sicard of Toront Mrs. Archibald Hopkins, Mrs. Frank Lot ing, Mrs. Crook, Mrs. Reed.

To the Editor of The Evening Star: The writer was at one time identified as a citizen with the construction of muni- cipal gas works at Hamilton, Yhio, a city which has a population of about 20,000, and located twenty-five milés north of Cincin- nati. The local company which supplied Hamilton with gas up tc IS88 was very unpopular, in that .t was almosi universally charged with supplying an inferior article 4t a high prico—$2 per thousand cubic feet. When remonstrated with by citizens. it ha@ many seemingly unanswerable arguments. It could not get cheap coal, like other com- panies, the supply coming western Peansyivania via Cincinnati; the exten- sion of mains ordered by the city council cost So much money; the pipes were old and leaked a great deal of gas; the profits were small and to prove this’ the alleged books of the company would be thrown open to the inspection of the eouncil. Public sentiment continued to grow stead- ily ir view of the fact that the company refused to materially reduce the rates anit West Virginia, has tea cards out for next | morrow, but will be at home the following | Smally developed into a vigorous movement looking to the ¢stavlishmen: of municipal fas works. The mun arguments were that there was no vther real solution; that gas could be supplied by a municipality as rat- isfactority as water; that the pronts could Ro into the public treasury instead of into the fat pocket books of the gas company stockholders; that such profits belonged to the people; that the cost of public lignting would be greatly reduced, and that finally, as the gas works wer? gradually patd for through the medium of the sinking fund the city would acqu:re a valvable properzy, worth 2 large sum of money, without any tax, the works paying for themselves The question carned by a big ma‘ority at the election. Gas commissioners, good cnes, were ther elected. In connection with experts they spent mech thne in coing over the fleld and studying every phase of the matter. The worss were then spiendi tly well bujlt at cost so far of about $175,000. The o:4 company fought each step i1 the courts on the ground that they had vested rights, inasmuch as they hal invested a &reat deal of money in laying mains es an incorporated company ander the direction jof the city authorities. The case was fougit |clear through to the Supreme Court of tre United States, where a t2cisaa adverse to the company was renerel. Now that the city naa seen running the works ‘Yor several rears the following re- Sults are conce led- from $2 to $1, 1 ice of gas reduced with a prospect of a still further reduction, which may not be realized until the sinking fund burden becomes lighter through the payment of bonds. 2. Quality of gas greatly im) 3. Cost of public lighting reduced in the Same proportion. 4. Owing to the cheapness of gas the number of public lamp posts greatly in- creased. 5. Large increase in the private consump- tion of gas, particularly in the use of gas for cooking purposes. | 6 Universal satisfaction among the cit- izens with the gas supply. 7. The company is prosperous and sol- vent, furnishing gas at the above price, meeting all fixed charges and having a good cash surplus always on hand.
