BIG WHITE HOUSE DAY.
For Three Hours Mr. and Mrs. Cleveland
shook Hands with All Corners.


WASHINGTON, Jan. 9. With bright
skies overhead, reasonably clean pave
ments under foot, aud crisp, clear. wintry
weather official Washington was favored
with all the conditions necessary to the
complete enjoyment Of such New Years
day as only Washington knows.
According to the time honored custom,
which was observed to tho letter. all Off
cials called at the White House, where
they were received IN the order of their
ranks, 70 pay their respects to the presi-
dent. All the cabinet secretaries, generals
and admirals In turn received the officials
Of lesser rank, and many congressman
and othors kept open house for thoir con-
stituents and friends. Society in general
hns in past times given itself over to the
making and receiving Of formal calls, but
In Washington, as In other cities, the OBJ
servance of the 1st Of January as a social
day has come to DO disrcgarded, and there
were probably fewer open houses than
ever before
All tho brillinncy and interest Of the
day wero for three hours sheltered under
the roof of tho executive mansion, where
the gaslight in tho big ceremonial parlors
fell on banks Of palms and troops OF richly
attired ladies and many notable men.
Apart from the interest which always at
taohes to the president and his family,
Mrs. Cleveland has personal popularity
which draws many to ber receptions She
shook hands with every man, woman and
child who filed past in the long procession
Of three hours length, and gave to the
greeting of each one a warmth which
gained for hor the everlasting friendship
Of tho recipient. The president also grasp
ed every caller by the hand and had q
word for every one whom there was time.
The man with wheels in his head"
who has been personally commissioned by
i tho Lord TO do something ridiculous or
| dangerous Is the terror Of these occasions
| He was on hand. Very appropriately, ho
wore long hair, and after he had passed
the police he drew from his pocket doou-
ment bearing a weird symbolic design
In red and blue, but the appearance of
the receiving party seemed to dazzle him
so that he merely shuf1ied past without
putting it to any use.
The policeman who endcavors to do his
duty in compelling the observance of reg
ulations and apprehends some high digni-
tary Of the government in his misguided
zeal is always in evidence.
He endeavored to bar Secretary Lamont
from the Blue ROOM but readily yielded
his point when the secretary good natur
edly revealed his identity. There were nc
accidents. however, and no unpleasant In
cidents, and tho reception was success
although not so many people attended a.

ator Loxow said he had no answer to
make to tho criticism upon the work Of

strange indeed that when the crucial point
