RECEPTIONS, TEAS AND DINNERS Coming Departure of the Chilean Minister and Family. PERSON AL NOTES OF INTEREST —~ The list of invitations to the second Wh'te House reception tomorrow night is completed and will not be extended, it is said today, owing to the limited accommo- dations of the Executive Mansion. Appli- cations tomorrow cannot be considered be- cause of insufficient time to do so. One of the necessary things is the placing of names on the printed list. As heretofore stated, the number of Guests will approximate 2,000. Many per- sons whose names are not included in the list will receive invitations to the next re- ception. By limiting the number of guests each of the receptions, it is thought, will be much more enjoyabie, and the crush which has hitherto detracted from the pleasure of similar occasions will in a measure be avoided. At the last recep- tion a number of people went to the White House who had not been invited. They pushed by the doorkeepers, who protested. ‘Tomorrow night, it is given out, this will not be permitted, even if it is necessary to quietly make some ejections. During the reception carriages will ap- preach from the northwest, enter by the northwest gate and leave by the northeast gate. Pedestrians wiil follow the same route. Guests will not be admitted to the grounds’ until 8:45 o' cl ‘Two carriages only will be permitted te drive under the north portico at the same time. Coachmen will be provided with numbered tickets, which must be preserved by them in order to regain admittance to the grounds. Guests will also be provided with tickets of the same number as their carriages. These should be carefully pre- served, in order to call their carriages. it will prevent confvsion and delay if invitec guests who are not known to the doorkeepers are prepared to show their cards, Kntrance will be by the main front decr; departure over the bridge exst of the ncrth portic After leaving cloaks in the main vesti- Vule guests are requested to pass through the private dining room into the state din- ing room as far as possible. Owing to Jack of space it has been impossibie to prov: separate dressing rooms for ladies. Their wraps should be left with those of their escorts in the main vestibule. A breeze of the “ill wind that blows no- body good"’ variety swept across the broad expanse of Washington society yesterday, bending hearts to sadness, when the an- nouncement of the Ganas’ approaching de- parture was made. Senor don Domingo Gana is, oi course, in great good luck to have been honored with the important mis- sion of representative of his country to Great Britain, and congratulations are in order. The “‘ill’-ness of the wind that brings such a happening lies in the break- ing of ties that during seven years have grown strong with friendship and good will. Apart from the dignified career of the minister of Chile is regretful interest in his charming wife, who has done so much for Washington in hospitality’s name, and then the young people of the household. Senor Alfred Gana, who dances and rides and skates and is in for every bit of joliy fun the smart set know: Senorita Margarita Gana, the fair, gentle girl, who not long ago made her debut amid a wealti of roses and violets, and the younger folks of the household, who are companions of the children of society. The Ganas will be missed from musical circles, for every member of the family is accom- plished jn that direction “A drifting popn- lation.” people say of Washington, and it is a place of many ‘“good-byes.” The President and Mrs. McKinley will sive a dinnér tonight in honor of the pres- ident of Hawaii and Dole. The draw- ing rooms of the been elaborately decorated, and the aff: will be arranged in the elegant manner be- fitting hospitality to such distinguished guests, The ecutive Mansion have > ecretary of the Treasury and Mrs. Gage ve a dinner last evening in honor of the President and Mrs. McKinley. The hostess wore a gown of light gray satin combined with rose chiffon, and jewels.

A large reception was given last evening by Chief Justice and Mrs. Fuller. More than 600 guests were bidden, including the Vice President and Mrs. Hobart, the dip- lomatic corps, judiciary, members of the and many persons in sidential society. The chief justice and Mrs. Fuller were assisted in receiving by their daughters and Miss Katherine Linn of Berlin, their guest. Mrs. Joseph Washington has sent ecards for a luncheon Thursday.

The fliness of Mrs. S. S. Howland is re- ported as serious, and the presence of Mr. Perry Belmcnt and Mr, August Belmont of New York in tue city caused the rumor that er condition is dangerous. Mr. S. S. Howland, however, denies that Mrs. How- land is other than “suffering from an in- disposition.” Mrs. Howland is reported to be much better today. Mr. Perry Belmont and Mr. August Belmont, who came over from New York on that account, returned this afternoon. Mr. and Mrs. Parker Mann gave one cf the mcst delightful receptions of the sea- son at Rauscher’s last evening. The guests numbered about a hundred and fifty, most- ly the younger friends of the host and hostess. Of course dancing was the order of the evening, and as the ball room was just comfortably filled and most of those present were good dancers the result was a beautiful and enjoysble scene. The ball rcom. was very artistically decorated, the musicians being screered in a verita>le bower of foliage and tropical plants. Sup- rer was served in the green room adjoining through the entire evening. The table decoraticns were pink. So enjoyable was the reception that the assemblage did not disperse until 1 o'clock.

Rob- inson, the well-known ve inary surgeon, which will be, in one in nee at least, a most novel one, for ft is understood he will report that the horses of the District fire department are now and then found to be suffering from nervous lameness caused by the ringing of the big brass gongs which sound the alarms of fire in the va- rious houses of the fire department. Dr. Robinson, who has the medical care of the horses in the fire department. is said to have discovered that the ringing of the gongs have in numerous instances shocked the horses to such an extent as to cause them to go lame. In some cases so much so as to prevent them for the j time from leaving their stalls until urged Be by men of the companies. The lame- ibed as in the nature of nerv- h, while temporary, so shocks the animal affected as to render it practically unfit for service in the fire de- partment. When a horse is found to be so affected it is sent to Dr. Robinson's hospital, where, after careful treatment, it recovers to such an extent as to be able to resume its work. Yet in a short time after being re- turned to service the lameness returns, and the horse again becomes incapacitat- ed. Two horses of the department are now in the hespital suffering from the disease. It is understood that there is no literature on the subject, but it is said to have been the experience of Dr. Robingon that about one in every ten of the horses in the Dis- trict fire department sooner or later be- come affected by this “gong lameness,” as it is called. Dr. Robinson has found that, as a rule, only animals of a nervous, sensitive dis- position are subject to the disorder, but in + his expected report it is believed he will recommend the adoption of some system for sounding alarms of fire in the houses of the fire department which will permit the discontinuance of the big house gong. The condition of affairs discovered by Dr. Robinson is not, it is said, by any means a recent one in the history of the local department, but {t is considered by the ad- vocates of the new method of receiving alarms at night, placed in four of the houses of the department by order of Com- missioner. Wight, as a very strong argu- ment in favor of their general use. —_+-—— DANIEL MUNN’S FUNERAL. mgineer Whe Committed Suicide Buried at Mt.
