OTHER TIMELY oe TOPICS The hostesses of the first few weeks of the new year, as well as of the holiday in- terval, are public benefactresses in their wey. Among the more prominent will be Mrs. Murphy, wife of the New York sena- tor, whose charming young daughter will make her debut; Mrs. Ffoulke, who will give a holiday ball; Mrs. Charles Grayson Dulin, a large evening reception, and Mrs. Tallmadge Lambert, a debut reception for her daughter. The omission of the New Year day receptions and of the offi- clal entertainments at the White House for the early season has had a depressing effect on society generally, which 1s to be deplored in every sense. A Washington season is so short that a seeming quiet of a fortnight or so makes an irremediable break. That all this will be remedied by advance tokens in the way of invitations during the next ten days is hopefully sug- gested. In the meantime, for what 1s al- ready on the cards we should be appropri- ately grateful. Among other pleasurable incidents there will be an international marriage, the bride one of the prettiest and mest charming of widows; the groom a distinguished traveler and a popular diplo- mat, and if all who would like to do so cannot hope to be present at the ceremony, all at least can enjoy hearing about it. Then the Bachelors’ german January 4, and no end of debut teas judicially sprin- Kled at convenient dates will emphasizc the passing of the first half of January. New Year day receptions, except on the part of those in official life, have long since been conspicuous by their absence from the social program. The coming Ist of Jan- uary will be marked by hospitable events such as are enjoyed other days. Five o'clock teas, when both maidens and men will be welcomed, will be rather the dis- tinguishing feature. The average society man does not expect to find the ladies of his acquaintance recetving in lighted and flower-decked parlors on New Year after- noon any longer, but that does not hinder him from depositing his visiting card in the basket, now the customary appendage to pretty much every other door bell in the West End. A few families keep up the practice of open house, and their friends are notified verbally, Just as some others teke the same pleasure in having all their acquaintances call Christms afternoon and evening. Mrs. Sheridan will give a tea to- Gay in honor of Miss Bates, daughter of Major and Mrs. Bates, whose debut will be marked by an evening reception Jan- uary 3. The wedding dey for Mrs. Lay and Count von Goetzen has been fixed for Tuesday, January 4. The ceremony will take place the residence of the bride on Jefferson place, and will be witnessed by the mem- bers of the German embassy and relatives of the bride. The hour has been set for 1 o'clock, and to the wedding breakfast, which will follow, intimate friends of the couple have been invited verbally. There will be formal announcements sent out af- ter the ceremony. The same afternoon Count von Goetzen and his bride will start fer a six weeks’ trip to California, going direct to Los Angeles, where a lengthy stay will be made. After their return to this city they will sail for Europe and take up their residence at the home of Count von Goetzen, in Berlin. Among the leading e week will be for Monday: Mrs. Harrie Webster, a tea, to present Miss Webster, 4 to 7, at 1523 3ist street. Mrs. McLanahan, a tea to meet M Caroline Snydam Duer, 4 to 6, at 1601 street. Monday evening, dance at Rauscher's Hall.

American People Asked by the Presi- dent to Relieve Suffering. The deplorable condition of the people of Cuba on account of the insurrection was the subject of discussion of yesterday's meeting of the cabinet with a view to the institution of measures of relief. Subse- quently Secretary Snerman had a consulta- ticn with Mr. Dupuy de Lome, the Spanish minister, on the subject, with the result that the following appeal to the American peeple was issued late in the afternoon: Department of State, Washington, Decem- ber 24, 1897.—By direction of the President the public is informed that, in deference to the earnest desire of the government to contribuie by effective action toward the relief of the suffering peopie in the Island of Cuba, arrangements have been perfected by which charitable contributions, in money or in kind, can be sent to the island by the benevolently disposed people of the United States. Money, provisions, clothing, medicines and the like articles of prime necessity can be forwarded to General Fitzhugh Lee, the consul general of the United States at Havana, and all articles now dutiable by law. so consigned will be admitted into Cuba free of duty. The consul general has been instructed to receive the same and to co-operate with the local authorities and the charitable boards for the distriba- tion of such relief among the destitute and needy peuple of Cuba. The President is confident that the people of the United States, who have on many eccasions in the past responded most gene- erously to the cry for bread from peoples stricken by famine or sore calamity, and who have beheld no less generous action on the part of foreign communities when their own countrymen have suffered from fire and flood, will heed the appeal for aid that its of the coming st ANG comes from the destitute at their own Tuesday— threshold, and especially at this season of Mrs. Norton, a tea, to meet Mrs. Paul | gccd will and rejoicing, give of their abuse Johnson, 5 o'clock, 1023 16th street. darce to this humane end. JOHN SHERMAN. Minister De Lome has given assurances of the hearty ¢o-operation of the Spanish .gcvernment inf these relief measures, and it was arranged that the supplies go direct to Consul General Lee instead ot through the usual Spanish channels. He also said that Spain had consented to grant even more than President McKinley had re- quested in this matter, and that the duties wculd be remitted, rot only on articles which the President had referred to, but also on all medicines, soap, salt and similar articles of prime necessity which might enter into the plan of relief.

Consul General Rawicz at Warsaw has made a report to the State Department in regard to American manufactures in Russia, in which he says: European manu- facturers—Germans _especially—fill__ the Russian markets with inferior goods, stamped, trade marked, &c., as ‘Ameri- can,’ which, being accepted by the un- suspecting Russians as genuine American products, discredit our manufactures to such an extent that nothing short of active and persistent personal effort can push new articles into general use. “The second reason which operates against the introduction of American man- ufactures is the long credits given by the British, French, German and other man- ufacturers—credits based upon the reports of their agents, who traverse the empire and know exactly how far credits can be safely given. “A movement which should help to over- come both these difficulties is about being put into operation by the Exporiers’ Asso- ciation cf America, headquarters in New York. This movement is calculated to be of great benefit to the Russian importers and consumers, as well as to the American manufacturers.” Mrs. A. S. Worthington entertained a large company of the friends of her daugh- ters, the Misses Worthington, at a tea given in honor of Miss Juanita’ Humphrey, the debutante, daughter of Ccl. Humphrey. The rooms were handsomely adorned with plants and flowers. The Misses Worthing- ton had assisting them Miss Jane Fuller, the Misses Mattingly, Miss Sowers, Miss Houston and Miss McComas, and in the dining room Mrs. Aubrey and Mrs. Walter Hutchins did the honors.

Alfred Vail of Plattsburg, N. ¥.. who was in Worcester recently, says thut he has been in Keeseville, where Joseph Ladue, the returned Klondiker and reputed owner of Dawson City, ts living, many times dur- ing the past few months, and that if Ladue has anything like the fortune which the Rewspapers have credited him with pos- sessing he shows no signs of it, and the People of Keeseville and vicinity are in- clined to take little stock in the newspaper Stories of their fellow townsman’s enor Mous wealth. Since his return from Al. ka, Ladue has lived very quietly and un- ostentatiously. From time to time he has engaged in farm work, and has also worked in a saw mill and a grist mill, the same as a man in moderate circumstances. The only luxury in which he has indulged him- self is a horse and buggy, which he bought soon after his return. It was originally a top buggy. but one day while Ladue was making a call he left the team standing by the side of the road and, the horse getting impatient and starting to go through a low door into a neighbori barn, the top w: aked off. The day after the accident 1 due drove into Plattsburgh, and one of his friends asked him if he had got 1 new bug- gy. adding that he thought he wad seen him driving a vehicle with a top. He replied that it was the same buggy, but he had got tired of the top and taken it off. It has never been replaced. Ladue is modest in talking about his adventures in the Klon- dike, and has uniformly advised his neigh- bors not to brave an Alaskan winter, but to vait until next spring before starting for the gold fields. < He—“T hate to be squeezed in a crowded theeter like thisdon't you?” She oe.
