THE EVENING STAR, SATURDAY, JANUARY 5, 1895-TWENTY PAGES. —* THE SOCIAL WORLD The New Year Begun in a Most Attractive Manner. EVENTS OF THE COMING WEEK —— + It Would Seem to Be a Great Winter for Debutantes. OTHER INTERESTING TOPICS Society has no reason ‘to find fault with the attractions offered? this week. ‘The new year opened up in the liveliest way offi- cially, and since Mofiddy night, when Mrs. Bugher’s ball engrossed the attention of the dancing set, there have been the gay- est opportunities for the same kind of en- joyment. Mrs. Jobn Davis’ ball at the Ccuntry Club -was anothe> great succes: The weather of the week was not just the thing, cither, for stiburban delights in the way of late parties, but when there ts a dis- position to get anywhere ordinary diffi- culties are easily surmounted. Many of the guests, who think more of their horses than other peeple’do of their uncongenial relations, hired big herdics to carry large parties, and went that way. Some prudent folks among them provided themselves with hot water bags, foot. warmers, lap robes and other essentials to comfort, and did rot care a bit whether the wind blew or not during the long drive. New Year day has completely changed in the public estimation, and if there ever was a time when people did as they pleased, re- gurdless of moss-grown rules and regula- tions, it seems to be now. Instead of re- ceptions, eggneg parties are the rage for New Year afternoon, and the ladies are in- vited, too. There were several of them in progress last Tuesday, and right merry events they were. It is not so far back when ladies im the West End were never seen on the streets on New Year. They were suppcsed to be receiving, and conse- quently the 2d of January got to be called “ladies’ day,” when the gentle sex turned out anl went calling. The official recep- tions were very jolly events. Many ladies accompanied their husbands on_ their rounds calling, not entering the houses, but enjoying the liveiy scenes in the neigh- borhood while waiting in their carriages. The West End streets were almost as full of passing carriages filled with ladies out fer their regular afternoon drive as they would be any.ethef afternoon in the win- ter. Thus do the social suns and stars move along in new directions. In the language of an ‘irreverent young lady, whose debutante sister has overshad- owed her owff prominence in the family circle just a little: ‘There are buds to burn this avinter.’l It is a strange day in- deed now that at least two of these in- teresting young personages are not launch- ed, and the list is not by any means ex- hausted yet. ‘Phe quantities of'Swiss mus- lin and Valenciennes lace or white satin and chiffon which have given moral and substantial support to these charming phases of young womanhood have been simply astonishing. ‘The coming out of a dozen or so was expected, but as the list grows longer is it any wonde- last year’s girls and the year. before girls think it rather hard luck that so few men are here for the winter? The fact is that, revers- ing the usa@abthing, soemany men have ac- quired nervous prostration and the means to get away on at the same time, that not- able departures‘for the béauty spots of the south are notsinfrequent anuouncements. The imporqatiens'of men from neighboring cities for ‘mest-of the large balls lately show the lamentable gaps that now exist in the ranks of dancing: men: There was a very pretty luncheon given here one day lately by a young lady whose cleverness in’ providing the artistic nove ties that women like so much was only equaled by the exquisite taste which dcm- inated throughout the entire serving of the pretty midday banquet. Instead of having name cards there were little water color pictures at each cover whereon was de- picted something characteristic of the lady whose place it was to be. Each gnest looked around. the table until she found what was unmistakably ner own place, and the amount of information that a mer- ry group of young ladies can give each other on M@uetva Runt added, of course, greatly tothe fun. One, whose happy let it has been to encircle the globe entirely ence and halt way round again within the last two years, found a very pretty minia- ture of herself, clad im ulster and alpine hat, with umbrella, field glasses and satcn- el, tripping lightly round the earth, and had ro trouble in finding herself des 1 as a globe trotter. Another, intended for a young lady from the west, had a pretty maiden, evidently belonging to a wild west show, shooting at a target, a sugs that in the state from which she hails formances of this sort are quite ever events. So it went all round the creating no end of amusement, and souvenir that the guests carried a table, each was well worthy a place in a water color ccl- lection. Outside of the importance of the news feature in the invitatioa so cordially of- fered by the President and so pleasantly accepted by Senator Hill for the state din- ner, it seemed rather an unusual thing to see the Senator from New York in any social gathering. He has hitherto passed the social body by, if it is possible that he is going to do better In this regard dur- ing this, the debutarte winter, he wou add an interesting personality to a neigh- berhood where he would be appreciated. There have been other delinquents in a social way who were converted from their errors, and have lived long enough not only to thoroughly enjoy, but also to really hunger after these frivolous things upon which the fate of republics, via elections and other realities, often depend. It is only a few years ago that ex-Speaker Reed be- gan to get fond of society and gad nut in drawing rooms, and there man who receives invitatior now than he doe nd Mrs. desire, no girl can have a more successful coming out than be accorded their young daughter a few years hence. Mrs. Re however, does not get any nearer to liking gay life at the capital than she did before so many opportunities were given to enjoy it. She ts as bright intellectu- her husband, and well-fitted in to adorn social life; but she s so little for It that she rarely accept invitations, much pre ities of her own or to spend the time with good books. like other women, however, she likes her husband to shine, and does not permit her distaste for it to keep him from going about. The Secretary of War and Mrs. Lamont quiet- room Un- gave a dinner and reception last night in honor of Gen. and Mrs. Schofield. The table decorations combined the three colors of the service, the artillery (red), the cav- airy (yellow) and the infantry (white). The centerpiece was of white roses fringed with jonquils, and red satin ribbons formed wavy lines on the cloth. The idea was Mrs. Lamont’s and it was carried out with effect. Maj.

Uline, | LATE SPORTING NEWS NEW BASE BALL RULES. President Young Doesn’t Think Ma- terinl Changes Are Needed. President Young does not advocate any material changes in the playing rules for the coming season. He is not a member of the committee authorized to consider and repert such changes as may be deemed nec- essary for the improvement of the game, but he has very pronounced views on the subject and he does not hesitate to express them. There has been considerable com- ment on the subject, from various sources, Yecently, and some of the advocates of giv- ing additional power and influence to the pitchers have put up some very strong arguments in support of their contentions. It is observed, however, that the appeals for strengthening the pitching department, by removing some of the handicap which the twirlers have to carry, emanate, prin- cipally, from tnose clubs who are not gen- erally ‘supposed to be formidable in that branch of the game. President Young says he does not believe the restrictions now placed upon the pitchers are too severe. About 2 per cent of the regular patrons of the game. may prefer to see what used to be so frequent in league.contests—a pitch- ers’ game. The other 98 per cent demand a free hitting and a brilliant fielding con- test. Last season the Washington club suffered more from poor fielding and inopportune batting than from poor pitching. Mercer, Maul and the other young men who twirled for Earl Wagner did not appear to be over- weighted by the pitching rules, but in many instances they found that the burden of an infield full of holes was more than they could evercome, even if they had been al- lowed to deliver the ball ten feet from the home plate. Then the Senators were not always handy with the stick when a few safe hits might have turned a threatened defeat into a probable vietory. Time and time again last season the Senators were thrown down because their batsmen neg- lected to use good judgment when a run- ner was on second or third with no one out. Who was to blame for this lack of team werk is not known, but Manager Schmelz was generally charged with it. ‘The pitching rules are nearer right now thaty they have been for many years past. It was all very well for a few of the star twirlers of the league to monopolize all the glory of a base ball game, while the other eight members of the team stood aroun¢, and tossed pebbles out of their path or chatted with persons on the seats, in order to keep awake, while the pitcher and catcher were doing the rest. Under the existing rules almost every member of a team has an opportunity to distinguish himself, either at the bat or in the field, and the pitcher, with a few exceptions, takes his chances with his comrades. Earl Wagner has out his long-distance spyglass, and he is searching the base ball horizon for a first-class change catcher to assist Jim McGuire in his afternoon recep- tions behind the bat. One thing is certain— unless the catcher secured is equal to Mc- Guire-and his equal cannot be found in a minor league—the “fans” will grumble every time he takes Mac’s place. , Dave Foutz, the long-legged first_base- man who captains and manages the Brook- lyn club, is spending the winter in Wash- ington. Dave is interested in the races being run across the river in Virginia, and from his personal appearance he is picking a good many winners. He says he is tak- ing good care of himself, and he expects Jo be in good form tg resume his old posi- tion under Mr. Byrne when the season opens. He declines to discuss the recent reports about the financial condition of the Brooklyn club, He contends that Messrs. Abell and the other stockholders of the organization are amply qualified to adjust whatever differences exist without any in- -terference on his part. Base Ball Notes. The cleverest thing Manager Schmelz has done in a long while, says the Cin- cinnati Commercial Gazette, was to get a contract with Manager Frank Selee of the Bostons for a series of twelve early spring games in cities of the far south. ‘his arrangement means that Manager Schmelz will probably gather his team in Jacksonville, Fla., or New Orleans on the ist of March, and remain in practice until a day or two before the first one of the games with the Bostons. About the 1tp of April they will arrive in Washingt6n and get in shape for the epening of the ur championship season. peculiar coincidence that the St. Louis club has had no good fortune since Mar: iskey left that city, while the has not been successful as a handler of men elsewhere. Capt. Robinson of the Orioles will coach the Lehigh University players in the .spring in each of the cities of Savannah, Augusta and Atlanta, Ga. ; What will Washington do with two sec- ond basemen—Crooks and Nicholson?— Sporting Life. Paul Radford, formerly of the Wash- ingtons, will play with the Toronto Fast- ern League tear next season, and likely captain the nine. Brooklyn fans don’t-want to see Tom Burns and Tom Daly released. “The big mitts must go” is the tune that is being whistled into the ears of the new committee on rules. Louisville now has twenty-two men signed from which to select its club for 1895. Catcher Ganzell has resigned with Bos- ton. There is a hitch in the building cf the new grand stand of the Boston club. The department of public buildings insists that the two wings be separate from the main portion, while the Boston triumvirate want the entire structure under one roof. Mike Tiernan is taking the best of care of himself and will be in better shape than ever when the season opens. St. Louis has signed new pitchers in McDowell and@ Flannigan. Manager Chapman of Rochester has lines ont-for John [ealy, for pitcher; Frank Ward, second base, and Edward Krone, in- fielder. ‘Tho Eastern League will, from the names mentioned, have a very strong corps of umptres, The list contains the names of Doescher, Snyder, Gaffney and Swartwood. At the coming meeting of the New York club about half ef the $83,000 worth of bonds issued two years ago will be called in. ‘Treasurer Talcott of the New Yorks said recently that Stafford would play second se for the New Yorks during the exhibi- tion season, and that if then he didn't prove a success some other man would be secured for the place. It is now—‘Leave the league, become a big toad in a little puddle, and cease to be a small toad in a pond full of other b trachians.” Frank Houseman furnished the latest example of this kind. He is under contract with Washington for next season, and, being a good fielder, a rattling batsman, and a fast runner, should feel reasonably certain of his job. But- Co- miskey wants him to play in St. Paul, and Houseman is anxtous to get away from Schmelz and join Comiskey's gang. He has written, asking for his release, but Whiskers, who knows a good thing when she has one, gave Frank the loud ha ha, and informed him that he weuld be noti- fied when and where to join the senatorial crew.—Chicago Correspondence Sporting Life. President Robison of Cleveland now says: “Sell Childs, McKean and Burkett? Not on your birthday, my boy. T want to strengthen the clab; not aken it. Sell McKean and Childs? Why, I wonldn’t trade them for any other second baseman and short stop living. Most of that talk from down east was only buncome.” There is a quiet movement in New York to secure Din Richardson to play second base. It would be a ten strike to get him. Richardson always regretted leaving New York and doubtless would play for his life if he could get back there. Track Slow nnd Heavy. Favorites won the first and last race at Alexander Island yesterday, a third choice tcok the second, and second choices cap- tured the third and fourth.

Some Resignations Requested—Char- ter Granted and Other News of a Local and General Interest. The trouble which has been brewing in the first regiment Virgipia vclunteers at Richmond developed into another sensa- tion yesterday, when Col. Henry C. Jones, Lieut. Col. A. L. Phillips and Maj. J. H. Derbyshire, the field officers of the regi- ment, were presented with resolutions adopted by the captains of the regiment requesting them to tender their resigna- tions, and expressing the belief that the good of the organization demanded that this course be followed. Six out of the seven captains were present at the meet- ing, and the vote stood four to two. In the ordinary course of events such action as this would be insubordination, but in this instance the company, commanders were requested, with the sanction of Col. Jones, to cqnsider the best manner of re- storing harmony in the regiment. The outcome .of this action is looked forward to with the greatest interest by volunteer military mén all over this section. The first regiment is said to-be in such a state of turmoil that extreme measures will have to be resorted to to restore harmony. More Charters: Graated. Judge J. K. M.

Since the Caton investigating committee held its halfsheur’ sessiow ‘and: adjourned after hearing two witnesses,-it has been rumcred on the streets that the next ses- sion of the geard jury will take up the matter and summon witresses before it to testify In regard to the various matters in contention. The committee, from the evidence received, it is said, have only to report to council the fact that the sup- posed prize-fights have only been scientific boxing matches, and ‘mo’ harm has arisen from them. Whetker or not the committee will make ah} recommendations is still a matter of speculation. Notes. Rev. Father Richard lL.
