EFFORT FOR A HOSPITAL.
District Authorities Want One for
Minor Contagious Diseases.
Plat of the Site Submitted to the
House District COM
mittee.

There is every reason to believe that the
Commissioners, ably seconded by the health
officer. will make a determined effort
at an early day 10 locate hospital for
minor contagious, and that Congress will be
asked to appropriate money to pay for it.
This supposition is not based alone uron
the uttcrances of each in the recent an
nual reports, although it is recalled that
in the report of the board the opinion
was expressed that if unreasoning preju-
dice should drive the authorities to obtain
u site in place altogether isolated from
human habitations, IL would he Better to
have it there than not to have IL at all.
1t is the belief, however, that the Com
rnissioners have found location which
pleases them, and that they have brought
it to the attention of the House District
Committee for approval. ltwas whispered
about the Capitol today that plat oft was
in evidence, and that the name OF the
present owner of the ground was attach ed
to it.
The section in which this proposed re-
location OF the hospital is to be made is not
disclosed. Naturally the Commissioners will
want first to be sure that it is eligible in
all respects, and, in addition, il is deemed
to be prudent to withhold information con
cerning it until they are readyto 60 to Con-
gress with an estimates for the appropria-
ton.
In case the new site is purchased, the
ground bought for It in Pleasant Plains
will doubtless be ClisposedOf as a method OF
meeting the expense OF the ne W acquisition.
Wherever 1t may be located, IL is under
stood the Commissioners are not ap-
prehensiye of serious objections, and are
OF the opinion that the matter will be set
tied.

WORK BEING PUSH ED.
Four Hundred Men Busy Repairing
United states Cruisers,

Vallejo, Cal, Dec. 24.-Though work has
slackened somewhat at the navy yard,
owing to the discharge of part OF the force
because of lack Of funds, there is still n
fair amount of work in progress, about 500
men being employed. Work still continues
on the Baltimore Concord, Mohican, Ranger
and Pensacola, for which ships money was
especially set aside by the last Congress.
The cruiser Charleston however, did not
come under this head. and will probably
have to wait until the appropriations by
Congress are available before her repairs
begin.
The Sunboat Petrel, which was placed
in commission on December 3, is at the
dock fitting out with stores for three
years cruise on the China station. She will
probably be here for two months more
during which time she will be inspected by
the board of inspection.

Pone Mapufacturiug Co.

A Columbia wheel would indeed be a
princely gift in this gift-giving season
a present that would give more genuine
satisfaction, evoke more gratitude and last
longer than almost anything that could
be imagined, made by hands. The new '97
model has distinct advantages over last
year's-advantages that cyclists will un-
doubtedly appreciate. Let us suggest
that the initial pa yment on '97 Columbia
wheel would be an excellent way of be-
slowing a magnificent gift. Once give

Horrible Death of an Aged Woman
I'm Chicago.

Chica 20, Dec 24-Mrs. F. A. Parmelee,
seventy five years old, and the mother-in-
law of w. S Seaverns, u member of the
board of trade firm of |. n. Ash & Co, met
a horrible death yesterday afternoon under
cable train on State street, within sight
of thousands of Christmas shoppers.
Mrs. Parmelee was buying Christmas
presents, and had several small bundles in
her arms. Cable cars and vehicles We're
thicker than usual between Madison and
Washington streets.
Snow was falling, and this added to the
woman's inability to get across State street
safely When on the cable track a train
knocked her down and life was quickly
crushed out.

Social Occasions.

Social OCCASIONS.
By far the more interesting Of these two
social occasions is the reception given by
the President on New Years Day, for then
are mingled the representatives OF official
life with the people who have no official
standing. and who have come, hat in hand,
to pay their respects to the first citizen OF
the United States, and to wish him pros
porous administration of the public affairs
in the months to come.
The arrangements for the annual recep-
ton this year are in the hands of Col.
]. NJ Wilson, who is the superintendent
of public buildings, and has charge of the
White House. In Arthur'S term the mar
shal of the District was the social drum
major. He made all the arrangements for
the Presidents receptions, and presented
the guests.
When Mr.. Cleveland came into office he
assigned Col. Wilson, of the army, to per
form these social official duties. Col
Ernst succeeded him in the Harrison ad-
ministration, but four years later Col.
Wilson returned to his old place.
The decorations for a White House func-
tion come from the government conservato-
ries In the east parlor the large windows

The three crystal cha ndcliers will be
hung with ropes of smilax. Beneath the
long mirrors will be banks of small palms
and foliage plants, varied with pots and
Jardiniercs, brilliant with flowers.
Scattered about the blue parlor will be a
few chairs, but the space behind the re-
ceiving line will be crowded during most of
the morning by the people who have been
invited to assist Mrs Cleveland
The Ladies'.
Among these will probably be Mrs John
Sherman, Mrs. Francis Newlands, Mrs. A.
A Wilson, Mrs. Thomas B. Reed, Mrs. Cal
win s. Brice, the Misses Brice, Mrs. BenJa-
min Micou. Mrs. 7. C. Catchings, Mrs. R. R:

Miss Stevenson, Miss Quay, Miss Harmon,
Miss Wilson, Miss Scott, Mrs Minot. Mrs.
John NJ. Wilson, Miss Boyd, Mrs. George
N. Sternbcrg, Mrs. Admiral Ramsay, Mrs.
Nelson Miles and Miss Gray.
These ladies are the supplement- re-
ceiving party. The principal receiving
party will form a line between the east and
west doors of the blue parlor. 1t will be
composed of the President, Mrs. Cleveland
Mrs. Stevenson, Mrs. Olney, Mrs. Carlisle,
Mrs. Lamont, Miss Herbert Mrs Harmon,
Mrs Francis, Mrs Wilson, and Miss Nor
ton. The President will wear the conven-
tional black frock coat, with black trou-
sers, and he will hold u pair OF gloves in
his left hand. Mrs. Cleveland and the other
ladies will be in full reception gowns.
Behind the line the ladies will be- in gor-
geous reception toilet. Most of the men
will be in frock and cutaway coats. The
exceptions will be the people in uniform
or court costume, and the one man in a
dress coat That solitary dress coat is an
unfailing feature of New Years recep-
tion.

THE ROYAL ROAD.
Good Food Is the Only Way.

Good Food Is the only way.
It's Il mans bad habits that hurt him
more than oyerwork. The little habits OF
coffee and tobacco hurt worse than some
of the big ones, because they are Continued
more steadily thanthe greater habits. Many
a man is simply poisoned to death by the
alkaIoids of coffee and tobacco and never
will believe what is hurting him. Let him
quit tobacco and use Postum Cereal, the
food drink, in place of coffee, and very
soon he finds that nature, the great re-
storer, is at work. No medicine is needed,
simply quit doing those things which pol
son and waste the energy, and let nature
build into body and brain from good food.
Postum is made entirely of grains by the
Postum Cereal Co., lim., of. Battle Creek,
Mich, and is nourishing and fattening.
Use plain, common food and the food
drink lit looks like coffee, but is not.
Health will come and be Of much more
solid character than when patched up with
drugs.

People and the President.

People and the President.
The people of the United States, whether
they live at Washington or have homes in
other parts OF the country, have strong
feeling that The property OF the government
is their property. They have paid taxes,
and with their money have been bought
the great Capitol, the Executive Mansion,
the department buildings and all the other
properties necessary to carry on the busi-
ness of government. Even the President
of the United States, created by their suf-
frages, is their own.
And in the case of Mrs Cleveland the
people have an idea that the Presidents
wife is in some degree public property.
For this reason the Capitol is thrown open,
and all of the department buildings, so far
as is consistent with the performance Of
public functions, are kept open to the sight
seer all through the year.
The government even provides guides,
who show the visitor without charge much
that is curious and entertaining in the
vaults of the Treasury or in the Bureau of
Engraving and Printing or inthe Executive
Mansion. But with the show places" Of
the Presidents house alone the public is
not satisfied. Reading in the daily news
papers descriptions OF the GofSeoushess
of the White House on the occasion OF for
NAL receptions, it demands that a sight Of
this, too, be given to it. And so two oc-
casions are created in the social season
when the public is free to the Presidents
house.
one OF these is the reception on New
Years Day, when the parlors are shut off
from the light Of day, and the electric suns
send their soft glow over exquisite floral
decorations, fine hangingS, rich upholstery
and beautifully Gowned women, while the
famous Marine Band plays in the ante
room, and the other is the official recep-
ton to the public, which is one of the
great evening receptions given by the Presi
dent every year.

The public reception given by the Pres
dent on the / st of January is survival OF
the old-fashioned custom OF receiving on
New Years Day.
Nowhereelse in the country is the firstday
of the year celebrated by making and re-
ceiving social visits as it is III Washington.
Here howev the custumislargely confined
to the people in official circles, and New
Years Day becomes the occasion for the
people in official life and the great public
as well to call on the President and wish
him many happy returns of the day.
The custom seems likely to be per-
manent But some day vandal Presi
dent may overturn even this colonial relic
and the st of January may be asquiet and
uneventrul at the capital as ii is in other
cities.
The White House reception on New Years
Day is an odd survival anyway No Of
ficial of the government anywhere, NO gov
ernor of a State or mayor of large city
reelsit nece ssary TO hold a public reception
on the first day Of the year.
The White House reception, however,
serves a useful purpose. II gives an op-
portunity to the representatives of the ma
tions OF the world TO pay their respects
formally to the executive representative OF
the United States. 1t gives occasion for
the legislative and Judicial branches Of the
government through their representatives
to meet socially and to shake hands at the
official home of the head of the executive
branch OF the government and finally it
gives the public chance to see the White
Housein its glory and to shake hands with
the President. That the public / S anxious
to avail itself Of this opportunity is shown
by the long lire whic h stands on Pennsyl-
vania avenue on the day of the reception
waiting for hours, often in snow or rain,
for the doors OF the Executive Mansion to
be ethrown open to the public.
