composed by Messrs. Henry D. Coolidge
and Thomas Surstte. The opera was
presented here last Friday, with a cas-.
drawn from local talent.
When it became known that the Rev.
Mr.. White was figuring as the hero in
the play there was a little shyness on
the part of the other Gcto,e, but after a
few rehearsale the feeling wore oH. The
minister entered into the sport with ps
much gusto as the younger people, and
they quickly saw that he possessed rare
kistIionic ability, and when the night

WASHINGTON, d. c., Jan. 1.-The yesl
1891 opened wet, diaagreeable and
gloomy, and the streets were SO filed
with slush from the melting snow that
pedestrianism wOs difficult and decided
ly unpleasant.
The Presidents reception was, cl
course, the social feature of the day.
The historic White House, which has
been the escene Of so many brilliant spec.
tacles, never.looked prettier than It did
to-day.
The government conservatories and
hot houses were taxed to their utmost
capacity for flowers and plants and tho
supply being inadequate to meet the
Presidents desire, recourse was had TO
private dealers. In fact, il was found
necessary to go to New York and Phila-
delphia for some OF the flowers used in
the devices.
The reception began at II o'clock, the
receiving party. taking their places in
the Blue Parlor at that hour to the
familiar strains Of "Hail TO the Chiei, "
played by the full Marine band, which
was stationed in the vestibule Just inside
the main entrance.
Vice President Morton and Mrs, Morton
and all the members OF the Cabinet,
with the ladies OF their families, with the
exception of Mrs. Blaine, had previously
joined the President and Mrs. Harrison
and followed them down stairs 10 the
reception room. Here all the gentlemen
with the exception OF the President re-
tired to the rear Of the Blue Parlor,
where large number Of invited guests
had already gathered.
The members Of the Diplomatic Corps
were first received. all were in full
court costume, which, in many cases,
notably tho Russian, German, Austrian,
French and Chinese Ministers, was OF
the most gorgeous description. They
we're presented by Secretary Blaine and
Assistant Secretary Wharton, and
made a brilliant spectacle with
their glittering jewels, gold braids and
olanking swords. Baron Favia, OF Italy,
is dean OF the corps OF virtue OF seniority
OF service, led the procession, and was
followed by Senior Romero, Of Mex
leo. Nearly all the diplomats
were accompanied by ladies, Ac-
companying the corps were tho
members Of the international Monetary
Conference and the members Of the
American International Railway Con-
ference. They were followed soon after
by the Chief Justice and Associate jus
tiCes OF the United States Supreme
Court, the Judges Of tho United States
Court Of Claims and the Judiciary OF the
District of Columbia.
The other official receptions were
largely attended, most Of the people
who visited the White House calling on
the Vice President and the members Of
the Cabinet, all the latter, except Secre-
tary Tracy, keeping open house.
Secretary Blaine gave the Diplomatic
Corps a breakfast Immediately after the
reception Of the corps at the White
House and afterwards received the pub
lie. Miss Blaine assisted him.
