MRS. YOUNG'S AT HOME.
Many Jersey City Present at
a Brilliant New York Re-
ception Yesterday.

Among the young ladies who assisted
Mrs. George w. Young and her sister,
Miss Helen Bray, in their reception, yes
terday afternoon and evening, were Miss
Anna Koonz, Miss Matte Miller, Mrs.
Frank Hall and Mrs. Howard Bumsted.
1t was a pink and white reception, and
most of these young ladies wore the col
ors of the afternoon. Mrs. Frank Hall
point lace and pink roses. Mrs. Howard
Bumsted also wore white with pink roses;
Miss Koonz wore a gown of pale yellow
with pink trimmings, and carried pink
roses. Miss Miller was attired in white
with pink trimmings. Mrs. Young's dress
was of white rosebud satin and Miss
Bray wore white mousseline de sole over
silk.
The house, No. 2S West Seventy-third
street, New York, was beautifully decor
ated with palms, ported plants, orchids
and roses. The rooms were crowded
with representatives of New York and
Jersey City society, and the gowns worn
by the women We're exquisite in design
and texture. The scent of orchids and
roses was prevalent everywhere. The re-
ception lasted from four to seven. An
elaborate repast was served from tables
beautifully decorated with flowers and
ferns. and which it seemed almost a pity
to relieve of their beautiful and refresh
ing weight.
All afternoon the people came and went,
crowding the spacious parlors with beau
ty and society gossip. But the evening
was the browning eventof the eventful day
to he young people. Then a dance was
given to those who had assisted in re-
ceiving, many of the afternoon guests
remaining over. Altogether it was one of
the most enjoyable days of the season,
quite as much a Jersey City affair as
though it had occurred within the limits
of that place. Mrs. George w. Young
was formerly of this city, and it was
but natural that her "at home" hould
be largely attended by society from this
side of the river.
Among those present from Jersey City
were:-Mr. and Mrs. f.. F. c. Young, Mr..
and Mrs. Edward Smith, Mr.. and Mrs.
EdwsAd Young, Mr.. and Mrs. James B.

Republican Financiering.

We find an interesting despatch from
Washington in this mornings Tribune
q paper which cannot be regarded as un-
duly prejudiced against the Dingley
revenue legacies. Here it is
WASHINGTON, JAM. s1.-The report OF
the Governments receipts and expenal-
lures for January will show the receipts
to nav been about $41, as. 900 and the ex-
penditures about s51. 201, 600. leaving a de
ficit for the month of about $500, O00, Inc
the largest for the month of January
since 1898. and an increase of about $l,2ou,-
600 over December. The internal revenue
receipts for January. will be approx
December, but an increase over January,
1898. of $1,000, 900. The expenditures on ac-
count of the War and Navy departments
in January were about $23,S 900, an in
crease over December of about 81. 50O,OU
In another New York morning paper,
we find this
WASHINGTON. jar. 31.-Projects be-
fore Congress for the expendituresof vast
sums are constantly increasing All are
not connected witt the war, but they IN
clude such measures as the shipping SUD-
eidy bill and the Nicaragua Canal bill.

act. s167, 600. 900.

day, $751; 900, 900.

mended but not included in estimates,
1890 600.
New public buildings, 500. 900. 900.
These do not include regular expendi-
lures provided for in the appropriation
bills.
There is, besides, the cost of maintaining
our empire in Hawaii and the Philip
pines, say about s25, voo,O 600 for the coming
year.
We think it is warranted to say that
the silver question will not cut much of
a figure in the National campaign of 1900,
but that Republican inanciering may be
something of an issue.

THE REVIVAL AT SIMPSON

The revival which has been carried on
at Simpson Church since the opening of
the year exhibited a vigor that was en-
couraging last evening. There were ten
converts. The preaching of Major Viii
liams was as searching as ever.
This evening will be the closing service
of Major Williams and his associates,
though the services will go on to the end
of the week. There have been over one
hundred and ten or fifteen persons who
have publicly professed conversion in the
meetings and the church has been moved
as never before in its history. 1t is thor
oughly united and in a very enthusiastic
state.

S~candalous Delay.

The manner in which the Republican
Trenton is rapidly approaching a scandal.
-Four weeks now has the Legislature been
in session and not a single measure has
become a law, while both Houses to-
gether have not passed over three bills.
The matter has become so serious that
the party leaders feel called upon to take
notice of it. Speaker Watkins was COM
PEELED TO make a pathetic appeal to the
House committees to settle down to work
and report some bills so that the Assembly
would have something to do besides to
meet n adjourn, while the Senate con-
sidered the matter in caucus behind
closed doors.
Why this proceeding should be neces-
sary, it is hard to tell. There are plenty
of bills before the Legislature, many of
which are measures of grave Importance
to the people of the State, measures
which should be considered without loss
of time. The Republicans announced
with many fiourishes of trumpets at the
beginning of the session that it would be
short and businesslike; that, while no
measure of merit would be neglected,
there would be no frittering away of time
on frivolous. bills of no benefit to the
people at large. In one sense they have
kept these promises; the Legislature has
not wasted its time over frivolous bills,
but this is because it has not lone any
work at all.
There is no reason why there should be
any such delay in settling down to work.
There are about fifty bills in the Senate
and close to one hundred in the House.
This certainly should give. each chamber
enough to do If the committees would
only perform their duty. But until the
Speaker publicly called upon the COM
mittees to do their work reports were as
scarce as peaches and cream and the bust
ness of the Assembly at each sitting con-
sisted mainly in receiving bills and passing
resolutions.
It is said that the Republican leaders
propose to have a short session and will
make an effort to finally adjourn in eight
weeks from the organization. If this be
SO. one-half of the session has already
gone and not a law yet enacted. The
prospects at this rate are that if the
affairs of the State and the interests OF
the people are to receive the attention
they deserve, the session will be a long
one.
Probably the bosses will get together
between now and next Tuesday n make
up their minds what they want their in
struments to do. Then the Houses, hav-
ing their orders, will make short work OF
obeying them.
ONCE in a while Governor Roosevelt
says a good thing. Here is one:-
The boy who maltreats animals is not
worth having his neck wrung.
Every mother should have all her chill
dren get this by heart
