NH. HAYES TAKES LEAVE OF VASE
IEGroN soolETY In A BLAZE OF
SOCIAL GLORY.
The diplomatic reception at the White
House Thursday night was q brilliant
affair. The residence portion of the
building was thrown open to guests,
and the rooms not set apart for cloaks
and wrappings were utilized by small
parties with quite as much zest as the
lower rooms. The entrance was by the
east stairway, and the one at the west
end of the building was for descending
to the reception rooms on the main floor.
1t was deliberately festooned aud trim
med with bunting and running vines.
After reaching the lower aoor the guests
passed through the inner vestibule and
along the length of the building 70 the
east room, where the President aud
Mrs. Hayes were. The decorations
OF the vestibule we're similar 10 those on
the staircase. In the east room, At the
doors and In the corners aud alcoves,
tropical plants were clustered In pro.
fusion and variety. The mantels were
banked with bright-colored cut flowers,
smllax was entwined In the glass chan
deliers and elsewhere throughout the
rooms were stands of potted plants.
Over the main entrance was the national
coat ofarms, and just opposite two i'm
mense flags hanging from ceiling to
floor and completely hiding q dot BILE
window. The green room was similarly
decorated, although not In such profu-
sion. The flowers In the red and blue
rooms were mainly azalias and hya-
ciDths. In the reception-room, which is
just west of the 3lue parlor and the
state dinlnsrro0m, which is opposite,
tables were spread. The decorations
there were also elaborate. The sentre
piece on the reception-room table was a
bed OF deep red roses, over which hung
an umbrella of lilies of the valley. All
OF the flowers on this table stood on
mirror. The centre piece in the state
dlning-room was ship under full sail.
Tue outer vestibule, which adjoins the
state dining-room, was occupied by the
Maine Band. The hour for the recep-
ton was from until IL. There were
but few arrivals until Q and but few de-
partures before IL. The attendance was
largest at about 1880, when passage
through the inner vestibule was a mat
ter OF extreme difficulty. There could
hardly have been less than 1000 persons
present. q: that time. The dresses were
very elaborate. Mrs. Hayes wore drab
satin, with oid-gold velvet front and

CRAZED BY SMALLPOX.
DESPERATE STRUGGLE OF A TRAMP
WITH A PEST-sTRICKEN MADMAN.

| DESPERATE STRUGGLE OF A TRAMP
WITH A PE5T-STRICKEN MADMAN.
A terrible struggle with a small pox
| patient, who was insane and frantic with
pain, took place last night III the open
country, about three miles from the
Berks County, Pa, Almshouse. The
mans name is Benedict Heileblyn. His
face aud body were literally covered
with small-p sores. gHis clothing was
muddy and torn. The inmates Of the
farm houses barred their gates aud doors
in terror and prevented his coming
among them. The community for miles
around was In absolute terror. No Que
would venture near the man, He was
tall and well built, and seemed to be ex-
tremely powerful. He tore down several
fences enclosing front yards so as to en-
ter the houses. Finally a tramp, who
gave his name as Henry Borden, came
along the road. Borden was also q very
powerful man. Fully aware of the all
ment OF the mailman Borden seized him
by his right wrist and commanded him
to go with him. For two hours he
struggled desperately along the muddy
highways towards the almshouse, and
several times the two men were rolling
together IN the fight for the mastery.
Borden conquered, and at midnight he
succeeded In dragging the sufferer more
dead than alive to the poorhouse door.
The officials were aroused. Borden de-
mandsd entrance for the sick man, and
fearing a refusal he denied that the man
had smallpox. Subsequently he ad-
mitted the facts and told his story. Bor-
den then disappeared In the darkness,
saying 1t was not safe for him to remain
there as his presence might create pan.

placed in the hospital for smallpox
cases. BY appearance he has been i'll
about ten days. His home is unknown.
1t Is apparent that in his rawlings he had |
