N'KINLEY NEEDS REST.
Few Sunday Visitors at the Canton
Home Yesterday.

CANTON o., Feb. 14.--It is not definitely
known whether President-elect Mckinley
will start for Cleveland i'm the morning or
delay his visit to that city for a day or
two. But it is apparent to his friends that
he should take a rest and seek relief from
the strain of receiving the army of visitors
constantly besieging his home. He has held
up remarkable well under the overtax that
has been placed him since the election
and always gave the visitors cordial and
hearty welcome. 1t is understood that he
will be away for at least part of the time
this week. Definite plans have not yet
been announced. To-day the major received
scarcely any visitors. He always has been
averse to attending to business matters
on Sunday. Congressman ID. W. Watson of
Columbus and &. A. Chickering of New
York. who were late callers last night, ac-
cepted an invitation to accompany the ma
jor to church this morning, and the First
PresbyterS a services were attended. Be-
sides. the major left the house for a call on
his mother and a drive with Mrs. Mckinley.
The remainder of the day was spent at the
house with Mrs. Mckinley and in reading.

The FIGURES EXAGGERATED.
Money Spent for the Martin Bali Not
Enormous.
New York Tribune.


Now that the Bradley Martin ball is
matter of social history. many of the opin-
ions that were formed of il in advance will
have to undergo considerable revision. 1t is
certain that most of the estimates of its
cost which were the basis of much of its
hostile criticism that was expressed, were
greatly in excess of the real figures. This
does not mean that Mrs. Martins ball was
not Il lavish. even sumptuous, affair. 1t
was undoubtedly complete in its appoint
ments. and nothing that could contribute
to the comfort or the pleasure of the guests
was lacking. But. for all that. the ex-
penses of the affair were not unprecedented.
nor, so far appears. were they enormous
ly extravagant. The estimates of the cost
of the ball which appeared in several news
papers We're sufficiently large to reach the
point of absurdty. One of these estimates
was 10000. another was 100000. still an
other was $3.50. 0o)-a quarter of a mill on do :
lars. All of these estimates are plainly so
far beyond the truth as TO make this con-
tradiction scarcely worth while.
Various wild guesses have been made at
the cost of the use OF the Waldorf for the
ball. AS a matter of fact, that cost is
known to have been less than 5000. Ii has
been predicted that the supper would be
more profuse and more varied than any
ever before provided for any social function
in this city glance at the menu card as
To show that while il was of an elaborate
and expensive nature. its like is not
precedented. 1.-THE wines used at the ball
were brought by Mr. Martin from Europe.
Another of the incidentals OF the ball.
whose cOstliness has been much overesti-
mated. is the costumes: These We're un-
doubtedly brilliant and appropriate, but
their like in many cases at least has been
seen IN this country before. 1t is known
that some of them were neither new nor
made especially for Wednesday nights's af-
fair.
Some of them were borrowed from the
singers of the Metropolitan Opera House.
Others were lent by actresses who had
worn them in various costume plays. Still
others had formed "A portion OF the stock in
trade OF local coStumers. and were fur
bished up and refreshed for the Martin ball.
Others still had been worn for the first
time long ago Mrs. William X. Van
derbilt's fancy dress ball in 1883.
The bill for carriage hire, too. could not
have been nearly so large as it is said to
be in the eXtravagant estimates mentioned.
Many, IL not a majority, of these guests
both came to and departed from the Wal
dorf in their own equipages. Again, the
actual number of guests in attendance was
considerably less than that announced in
the eXtravagant estimates; and finally. the
floral decorations, aside from the extent of
the space upon which they We're bestowed
We're not of a character to involve enormous
expense. They were faithfully described in
yesterdays Tribune and were seen TO be
tasteful and dainty and delicate throughout
but neither profuse nor heavy nor especially
rare.
