YESTERDAY YN NEJV YORK.
The Custom of Making Calls Failing

Tie Custom of Making Calls Falling
on.
The New York correspondent of the Bal
timore SuR writes concerning New Years
Day in that city Questionable society has
decreed this year that, as far as it is con-
cerned, New Years calling-that time
honored custom-shall be thing of the
past. 1t was not the correct thing in So
ciety to-day to receive or make calls To
send out cards was almost considered vul.
gar In fashionable circles. To stamp its
condemnation Of the ancient custom fashion
to-day abandoned the city, and followed
the English custom Of festivities ut the
ment Of New Years receptions is founded
on the best standard of taste there are at
least two opinions. Those who no longer
receive declare that New Years calling has
been overdone, and has often been degraded
into mere competition between ladies as
to who shall find the largest number of cards
in their baskets at the close of the day. The
contest became so keen that many ladies
would rather receive cards than the gentle
men who present them. Utter strangers
were often received to swell the number
of callers. Besides, it is urged that New
York has grown so large that no gentleman,
by any means Of rapid-transit conveyance,
can possibly make the round of his ac-
quaintances. So the fashionable world has
set the example Of closing their houses and
leaving the city. 1t is said, however, that
In almost every other city in the country
the custom is still as popular as ever, and,
indeed, with the exception Of the few fami-
lies who compose the ultra-fashionable sets,
there is no appearance Of the custom being
on the wane here. Thousands and tens of
thousands OF ladies kept open house, and
an equal number of gentlemen, in Prince
Albert or cutaway coats for full dress, in
New Years calls, except in the evening,
has been declared "outn), were fastening
in all directions, striving to make as many
calls as time and space would allow. The
hackmen did flourshing business, and
put up their prices to suit the urgency of
The demand. In Brooklyn the custom Is as
popular as ever. One of the local papers
there prints list of names of about 1905
ladies who have announced their intention
to keep "open" house. This list by nc
means represents the actual number of
ladies who received in Brooklyn.

TIRGINIA'S GOVERNOR.
General Fitzhush Lee Takes the Oat
of Ofiice.

General Fitzhugh Lee Takes the Oath
of ONCE.
For the first time in four years all the de-
partments of the Virginia State Government
are under the control of the Democrats.
Governor Fitzhugh Lee and Lieutenant
Governor John +. Massey took the oath of
Office yesterday afternoon in the hall of the
Virginia House Of Delegates at Richmond
The capacious old room was recently up
holstered and carpetcd, and looked better
than 1t has for years. Both of the galleries
were filled with spectators, among whom
were many ladies. Many of the seats of
members were filled by ladies' who were
unable to find any elsewhere. At IL o'clock
Speaker Stuart called the House to order,
and the proceedings were opened with an
impressive prayer by Rev. DIR. Randolph of
the Episcopal Church, and Assistant Bishop
of the Diocese of Virginia. The Bishop in
voked the richest blessings upon the distin-
guished gentleman who was about to enter
upon the discharge of the duties of the chief
executive Of the State. After disposing of
some unimportant business by the House,
the Senate, with President pro tenn Hurt at
its head, filed into the hall and took seats
provided for its members. just before the
convention was organized United States
Senator-elect John w. Daniel came in, and
was greeted with loud applause He bowed
his Acknowledgements as he proceeded to his
seat.
Shortly after l2 o'clock, accompanied by
committee of the two houses, General Lee
made his appearance, leaning upon the arm
of Governor Cameron. The crowd gath
cred In the lobby caught sight of General
Lee and cheered him heartily as he passed
through. This was repeated by the mem
bers and visitors in the hall. Behind the

a Plucky Lad.

About 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon a
boy named Albert Blowers, some 10 or u
years of age, residing at Seventeenth and
L streets, harnessed up the family horse to
an open buggy and got into the latter for
drive. The horse started to run, but the
little fellow chung to the lines and pilOted
him safely through L street TO Front. at a
tearing gate. The horse turned up Front
and into street, the boy maintaining his
seat and firm hold upon the lines. There
were many vehicles on that thoroughfare
but he piloted the animal safely among
them until between Fourth and Fifth
streets, where the buggy collided with a
wagon. The boy was pitched out upon the
street, while the horse tore himself loose
from the buggy and dashed of up street
on a dead run, the harness flying about his
legs. Some men picked up the injured lad
and carried him into Kirk, Geary d Co.'S
drug store, where it was found that no
worse injuries were sustained than a few
severe bruises. Meantime the horse rushed
through the group of carriages in attend
ance upon a funeral between Sixth and
Seventh streets, without further collision,
but came to grief on the corner of Seventh
street, where his legs became entangled in
the harness and he was thrown heavily,
turning a complete somersault and sliding
over the cobbles for some thirty or forty
feet. After gathering himself together he
cantered through Seventh street to the Cap
ital Hotel, where he seemed to be very
willing that someone should catch him.
He was probably injured severely by the
fall, bus the damage to the buggy was
slight
