In conversation with Mr.. l.. Monkey, the
costumer, last evening, REPUBLICAN re-
porter learned that very feU public masque-
rade parties have been given in Washington
this winter. Those that have taken place
were private affairs at private residences.
The ages of those who participate IN masked
parties range from Is to % years. The tastes
Of different nationalities. according to Mr..
Monkeys experience Of many years. are as
fellows: Americans prefer historical cos
tunes, such as dukes, princes, princesses and
kings.
Germans prefer comic characters. Moth
ing pleases Teuton better than to appear as
rollicking fat boy, laughins clown or
Uncle Sam"
The French go in for elaborate costumes of
fantastic design and bright colors, such as
sultans, kings, Don Caesar, Louis XVI,
Charles III, and rakish brigands.
Spaniards generally select quiet costumes
of evenly blended hues, spch as cavaliers,
Spanish ladies' and peasants.
The Irish do very little masquerading.
When they do. they select exceedingly comic
characters. Their favorites are clowns, Irish
and Dutch character costumes, the Fat Boy,
and others that they can "kick up the
dickens in" to use Mr.. Monkeys own Ian
guage.
The Hebrews are original. They visit the
costumers and present their own ideas which
are generally burlesque and caricatures of the
times The dude costume was invented by a
| Hebrew
Englishmen prefer nice peasant dresses in
satins and fine velvets. Also, courtiers, prip.
cesses, and titled gentry.

The lecture room of the Young Mems
Christian association was crowded last even
ing with young men, the occasion being the
second lecture in the course being given
every Monday evening under the auspices OF
the association. The lecturer, Mr.. w. NJ. r.
French, spoke Of the wit and wisdom of the
crayon, and gained the attention Of his audi
ence ut the very beginning, as he made the
first stroke with his crayon. The interest was
maintained until the end, the rapid execution
of figures, forms, and designs calling forth
frequent applause. Mr.. French proved him
self an adept with the pencil aud fully illus
trated his topic in the many drawings
shown. Many beautiful and artistic designs
were exhibited, showing the innumerable
patterns used now in decorative art. Mr..
French has been asked to repeat this lecture,
and it is thought he will do so at an early
date. The next lecture will be given by
Row. T. s. Wynkoop, on "The Heart of the
Himalaya: a Journey in the Vale of Cash
mere" Monday next at 1880. These lectures

cense Bill.

An Official Explanation OF the New LII
cense Bill.
Commissioner West, who is the author OF
the new license bill, which has been the sub.
ject of much discussion, was seen by RE-
PUBLICAN reporter yesterday and asked:
"What are the principal changes from the
present system Of imposing taxes for reve-
nue. 2"
"The bill makes no change in tho tax upon
real estate, But it does away with the tax
upon personal property. and substitutes for
that aud tho present license system a new
and more comprehensive license system. Now
licenses yield Sl25,000 and the personal ta !
S1500O0. By the new bill it is proposed tc
raise $500, 900 from licenses. or $4,000 more
than at present"
"In what way are branches of business re-
loved from the present personal t8xesW
by abolishing that tax and licensing
many pursuits and dealings which do moi
now pay license. A merchant doing bust
ness on $4,000 capital and who honestly re-
turns it pays now $3.50 personal tax. Under
the new license he will pay $40 and IS or
zach ii 900 invested, or $3.50 in all, and the
deficit between the old and new system il
made up by requiring large number Of pur.
suits and occupations not now licensed to con-
| tribute q Just quota"
What pursuits and occupations are licensed
by the proposed bill which do not now pay
license?"
Telegraph, telephone and electric ligh
| companies; steam railroad companies

banks aud bankers NOW merely nominal)
soap and all such factories, dealers in general
merchandise, job printers, machinery, baths

As you express n wish that your views should

forces duly commissioned by the President Of the

Second. BY mastering each command, officers
and men, aud administering to one and all the
oath prescribed by the second article of war.
Third. BY the issue of an order from the war
department that the commissioners OF the District
of Columbia or one Of their number Of their seec-
ton, shall be the commanding officers or officer,
as defined 10y section 1893 revised statutes Of the
District OF Columbia.
These three provisions would settle the questions

they have nothing to do with, nor SHOULD they

entire propriety, be lett in tact. When any Of tho
several organizations choose TO consolidate into
battaliUns or regiments they should be allowed ~
do so in their own way. When they associate on
occasions of parade or ceremony let the ranking
officer command When actual service isreqnired
the three provisions named above will secure all
that is sired of military force as such in the
