space for them to move in. The fault was
due chiefly to two reasons sOne is, that too
many invitations were issued, and the
other is that hundreds of people who were
not invited, wanted or expected, took ad-
vantage ofthe fact that cards were not de-
manded at the door and helped themselves
to the delights of an evening entertainment
in so-called high official society.
The officers of the armv and navy were
present in full uniform, as the guests of
honor; there was sprinkling of diplomats,
but few of them, however, in court COS
TUNES: fair representation of Congress, OF
the Judiciary and executive departments,
and many well-known society residents of
Washington. Mingled with them were
all sorts of people whom the President
must have wondered to see because he knew
they were not invited. Department clerks,
messengers, and Government employees OF
all sorts, including many clerks, doorkeep..
ers and even pages of the two Houses OF
Congress, boarding house keepers, shop
keepers, and strangers by the score-all
good people in their way, but who certainly
were notpossessed with nvitations-mingled
on equal terms with the throng inside and
seemed very proud that they were part and
parcel of the social world.
Little Attention Paid to Dress.
Many of these people, as well as many of
those who were formally invited, came
without the trouble of donning evening
attire. There were men in frock coats, cut
away coats and sack coats; there were ladies
in bonnets and there were children almost
in arms The few foreign diplomats present
must have been more than ever astonished
at the sight of well-known Congressman
marching down the receiving line with his
young children, the oldest not more than 8
years old, accompanying him. They must
have wondered to see gentlemen in business
suits chatting with ladies in full evening
dress, and at the sight of mothers dragging
their children about in an almost hopeless
effort to keep them from being crushed to
death.
A distinguished party of New Workers,
including Mr.. Jay Gould and his family,
came over to Washington especially to at
tend this reception. Mr.. Gould stood Just
behind the lines and at the Presidents right
At first he looked tired, bored and unhappy,
but as the pushing mass of human
beings in all sorts of attire and with all sorts
of manner were hustled by he grew inter-
ested and seemed, after time, to toappreciate
the situation.
1t was an awful jam, and almost q farce
Every body declared they would never mix
in it again. They will, however, and at the
very next opportunity the whole thing will
be done over again.

CHURCH AGAINST KIRMESS.
A Queer Rivalry in a New York Town

A Queer Rivalry In New York TOWN.
The Dance Denounced and a Revival
Started to Stop It-At Present the Hop
Is Ahead of the Game.
KINGSTON, n. Y, Feb. 10 Il Especial i
The Kirmess which has been in progress at
the Academy of Music since Monday, de-
spite the ministers protest alleging that it
would be immodest and immoral, is success
socially and financially. The leading
society and church people are in daily at
tendance Some of the clergy have also
been present and witnessed the national
dances of all countries, in which scores of
young women and men take part
Finding that the protest had little weight
with the 400 who had the Kirmess in charge,
the proceeds of which are to be devoted
to most worthy cause, a series
of revivals were gotten up to create
religious fervor and draw attention from
the Kirmess. An e1horter named Stock
dale has been conducting the meet
ings, which are being held every
afternoon and evening. A special choir
of 80 voices has been organized.
The Rev. w. f. Anderson, who started
the protest against the Kirmess, is pastor of
the church. The revival meetings are being
largely attended and many conversions re-
ported. It is a spirited rivalry between
church and Kirmess with the latter upper
most.
1t is rumored that several church men,
bers who have attended the entertainment
and others who are taking part will soon be
called to account by the councils of the
churches to which they belong. The matter

York City

REV. J. F. sPALDING A CATHOLIC.
Confirmed by Cardinal Gibbons, He Tells
Why He Has Changed.

BALTIMORE, Feb. 1O.-TSpeciaz Rev.
James Fielding spalding, until recently the
rector of Christ p E. Church in Cambridge,
Mass, was confirmed here to-day by Cardi-
nal Gibbons DR.. Spalding left his
church December 13, and went to
New York, where he remained short
time From there he went directly to
the Catholic University in Washington,
where he was instructed by the
rector, Bishop Keane, and by Vice
Rector O'Gorman. Last Sunday night he
was baptized and came to Baltimore to pre-
pare for his final induction into the Catho-
Tic church. Last night he joined a class of
20 other converts at st. Mary's Seminary,
and this morning was confirmed with them.
When asked what led him to take this
step, DR.. Spalding said that there were
times in mans life when he
realized that a crisis was at hand.
So it had been in his. He had
become impressed with the teachings of the
Catholic Church, and all the reasoning and
arguing could not shake his belief in the
faith that he had espoused. DR.. spalding
is about 40 years old.

ago a Pittsburg, Ft. Wayne and Chicago
fast train demolished street horse car, kill
ing two young women and injuring several
other passengers To-day the calamity was
duplicated, with added horrors A street
car was demolished at Stewart avenue and
Thirty first street bya fast passenger train
on the same railroad. Of the "a passengers
in the car almost half were injured, several
seriously and two probably fatally. Those
who will probably die are John Metzen and
Julia Maundley. The grade crossing system
is held to be the cause of the accident.
A train of empty cars backing out of a
train shed. collided with an incoming heav-'
ily-loaded suburban train this morning, and
five passengers were severely injured and
several others more or less bruised and cut
The most severely injured are D. R. Proc

IL Given Absolute Control.
NEW YORK, Feb. 10.-John A. Mccall
has accepted the offer Of the Presidency of
the New York Life Insurance Company,
provided he be given full and absolute con-
troll, but he will not accept il otherwise.
The trustees held = meeting to-day and ad-
journed till Friday. In the board . close
friend of Mr.. Beers said after the meeting
that Mr.. McCall's name was not mentioned.
Another trustee said that Mr. Mccall had
been regularly placed in nomination, but
that the nomination had not yet been acted
upon, owing to the fact that Mr.. Mccall had
agreed to accept the Presidency only on
certain conditions
It is understood Mr.. Beers desires to re-
tain under his control the mass of proxies
which he now holds, but as this would con-
tinue him as master of the company Mr..
Mccall insists that he shall either cancel or
transfer to others these proxies. 1t is be-
lieved that circumstances will compel Mr..
Beers to retire from the management, in act
as well as in name, and that Mr.. Mccall
will be duly elected.

having a good time generally. Finally
Leighton's money gave out and Gade
loaned him $3.50 until draft came.

successfully. He represented TO l..

sugar which he must sell Immediately.

Leighton walked off with certified
check for $1,000 He had previously
| represented himself to Steele 4 Co.
as a clerk of Marsicano & Co., and
asked him to deliver Immediately to
the firm 500 bags of refined sugar.
The order was accepted and then
Leighton requested Marsicano TO
give him storage for few days which
was done. Steele & Co. sent their
bill to Marsicano, detective was
called in and Sarony IL Co. were
notified that the sugar had been
stolen. In the meantime Leighton
had given Gade $40 on account and
fed to parts unknown, leaving his
Honolulu friend to mourn the loss OF
$3.50. Leighton tried the same game

did not work.

TO HURRY UP THE BUILDING.

The Commercial Bodies to Petition the
Secretary Of the Treasury.
An effort is to be made by the COM
mercial bodies to get the Secretary of the
Treasury to start work on Savaunah's new
public building during the next few months.
When the government abandoned the
site at Aoercorn and York streets and Lur-
chased the Guards property the treasury
department decided that the money derived
from the sale of the abandoned site could
not go into the appropriation for the build-
ing on the Guards site, but would revert to
the treasury. The department 80 Informed
Congressman Lester, and he urged that
work on the new building be- commenced
anyhow with the appropriation already
available. BE heard nothing more about
the matter until several weeks after the last
session OF congress convened when he dis
covered that q report had been made on the
proposed building with q recommendation
that bill be passed authorizing the sale
of the abandoned site and the turning Of
whatever money would be derived into the
fund for the new building.
Col. Lester secured the passage Of the bill
and now the matter is entirely with the
treasury department, which seems 70 bs
delaying matters Col Lester thinks little
urging from she commercial community
would have the effect OF hurrying the
work. MORNING NEWS representa-
tives yesterday brought the mat
ter to the attention OF Mayor McDonough
and the cotton exchange and board of trade.
President Purse OF the board Of trade al
once issued call for a meeting of the
board to-day at II o'olook to adopt resolu-
lions urging an early sale OF tie Abercorn
and York streets property, and the cotton
exchange will consider the matter at its
next meeting.
Mayor McDonough will probably urge
the city council tomorrow night to sup
plement the action OF the commercial or
carnations.
The supervising architect cannot draw
his plans and specifications untu the old
site is sold. and he knows how much money
he will have TO base his calculations upon.
