late Abner Lowell, whose apprenticeship
ended one year before Mr.. Senter's, and in
1886 the two formed a partnership in the jew
elry, engraving and nautical instrument bus
iness. and located themselves on Exchange
street, nearly opposite the store lately occu-
pied by the deceased. Here they remained
until after the great fire Of 1866. when Mr..
Lowell conducted the jewelry department on
Congress street, and Mr.. Senter the nautical
instrument department on Exchange street.
Until 1870 the partnership continued, the

Mr.. Senter was strong Republican. In
1870 and 1871 he represented Ward in the
Board Of Aldermen. In 1879 he ran against
Hon. George Walker for mayor, and was de-
feated by a majority Of just 40 votes. The
next year he ran against Hon. Frederick
Fox and was elected by the largest vote that
had ever been recorded In municipal elec-
tion and by the tremendous plurality Of 1887.
He received the compliment of reelection
the following year. He was a good executive
officer and possessed qualities that adorned
the position.
Mr.. Senter was man who had no special
fondness for societies of secret nature.
Consequently the only societies with which

THOUSANDS OF CALLERS.
Social Duties Confronting the Ladies
Of the Cabinet.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 23.-In ten days the
officially ceremonious season will begin. Af-
ter the first Of January the simplest forms
and courtesies will take ON a new meaning
and fuller significance. Unlike the arbi-
trary rules and regulations that govern So
ciety under a monarchy, the official etiquei te
of the United States is being changed and
modified to suit the needs and exigencies Of
arapidly increasing population.
Mrs. Hamilton Fish was able to return in
person all her calls, and everybody who
went the rounds on cabinet day expected to
have the carriage of the Secretary of State
stop at her door some day. The cabinet
ladies of this administration found them
selves utterly unable to return the calls made
upon them each week. 1t was physically i'm
possible for them to do so. As many as
1900 and 1000 cards are left in each cabinet
house every Wednesday. The ladies held a
meeting and decided to return no visits, and
to make only the calls that official duty re-
quired. So they make the first calls upon
the wives of the justices of the Supreme
Court, the wives OF Senators aud OF foreign
ministers.
The simple entertainments that-take place
in December will not be possible in jan
uary. In the former month the cabinet lady
receives her callers as her friends, and in
PRODUCES them to each other. In January all
tho Sc familiar courtesies will be out of place,
and the wife of high government official
receives in an official capacity.
A nice question now arises as to whether
the calls that have been laboriously ex-
changed among the families of official and
Congressional circles this month really count
as official visits.
The New Years ceremonies at the White
House will be the same In every respect as
in former years. TIE order of procedure is
the same. the Presidents reception begin
ming ut IL o'clock. At the close of the re-
ception Secretary Bayard will entertain the
members of the diplomatic corps at break
fast at his house, and Secretary and Mrs.
Whitney will entertain officers of the army
and navy at breakfast.
