Society Notes.

/
One of the most delightful social
functions of our little city was the
reception rendered Thursday after
noon by Mrs. J. G. Thompson to
Mrs. John McNeish and the two
clubs of which she has been presi-
dent.
At the appointed hour the happy
guests rapidly filled the spacious
parlors, which special scheme of
coloring and decor lation had given
a festive attire worthy the occasion.
Soon every seat was filled by a |
lively host of chatterers and all went
merry as a marriage bell, till Mrs.
Thompson called for silence and
Mrs. Niblack was introduced.
She delivered the farewell address
of the two clubs to their ex-presi-
dent, Mrs. McNeish. The address
paid a high tribute to Mrs. Nc
Neish and her literary work In
Ardmore and was received with
high encomiums by the circles.
Mrs. McNeish made a touching
reply and bade an affectionate fare
we'll to the scenes of her labors for
the past eight years, earnestly urg-
. ing the ladies to continue their
I work.
: The ladies then passed in groups
E to the dining room which was beau
: tifully decorated in the class cOlors
purple and white, these colors be-
ing woven with artistic skill in the
dates 1892 and 1900" and sus
pended above the center of thu
table. The embroidery of thu
linens and floral decorations carried
% out the same scheme of colorinI
s. all attesting to the painstaking ear
which the genial hostess had takel
to do honor to her beloved ex
president and her desire to pleas
ID her guests.
- All did justice to the banque
which was dainty enough to hav
m furnished feast to the gods.

mortally wounded last night by John Galletus.

ST.. Brooklyn. James Kelly, twenty seven years
old, of No. 179 Bedford-ave. was also shot by
Galletus, but his wound is not serious. The man
who did the shooting was crazed with fear be-
cause he had been assaulted by fellow workmen.
Young Roth was removed to the Eastern Dis
trict Hospital. The bullet entered the boys
head under the right eye. driving the eyebaI
from its socket. Kelly was shot in the chest
Except for his thick clothing and some cards he
had in his pocket. the bullet would probably
have proved ia tai in his case.
GalIetus fired a third shot at another passing
pedestrian, who saw the revolver and ducked his
head. The bullet went wild. Galletus then ran
upstairs to his apartments. on the third floor.
Patrolman Owens followed him
Give me that revolver shouted the police
man. Galletus went to the mantel and handed
the weapon to the policeman. He was then ar
rested.
Galletus is twenty-eight years old. Lithu-
anian, and is employed in a shop in Greenpoint
He has wife and two children. He has always
been looked upon sober and industrious.
Lately he has had trouble with fellow employees.
and a week ago he was struck on the eye. On
Friday cut a finger off his left hand
GalIetus told his wife he afraid the men
would kill him. She advised him to tell his en-
ployers. but he said he was afraid to complain.
While Galletus sitting in the kitchen of his
home last night a party of men passed the
house shouting.

MINISTER WI AND PEKING NOTE
HE REGARDS DEMANDS AS HARSH AND
SEVERE

Washington. Dec. 23-Diplomatic circles dis
cussed with interest to-day the provisions of the
joint agreement which has been signed by the
representatives of the Powers at Peking for pres
entation to the Chinese penipotentiaries. The
hope is generally expressed that the latter will
act promptly in the consideration Of the gote
and thus pave the way for speedy negotiations
for the settlement Of the peace terms.
To Mr. WI, the Chinese Minister, the demands
made by the Powers are keen disappointment
and are not such, in his opinion, should have
animated the governments which have the
ultimate best interests of the Chinese Empire
at heart He regards them as harsh and severe
but expresses the hope that they will be dis
cussed by both sides in an amicabe and con-
ciliatory spirit, and that the Powers eventually
will amelorate many Objectionable features.
Mr.. WI expects that while Ii Hung Chang
and Prince Ching are fully qualified to act in
the matter. yet the terms of the note will be
sent by telegraph to the Court at its present
abode which is connected with Peking by tele-
gTaph.

Assistant District Attorney John F. Mcintyre
was appointed TO make the announcement to the
waiting reporters
When Mr.. Mcintyre did so, he was asked what
foundation there was for the report that Gar
diners staff would walk out in body with him.
Mr. Mcintyre replied that while this action had
been advocated by some. it had been so vigor-
ousIy opposed by others including himself that
it had fallen through.
M'INTYRE'S STATEMENT FOR GARDINER
So great was Mr.. GARDENERS rage against re-
porters that. by his express request none were
allowed TO enter the doors of the Democratic
Club while he was there yesterday. The To-
Hell-with- Reform champion holds those who
published his remarkable utterances response
Bile to a far greater degree for his removal than
the bad Judgment which led him to utter them
1t was impossible to get interview with him.
Speaking as the representative of Mr. Gardiner
and the staff Mr.. Mcintyre said;
Mr. Gardiner has been advised that he hafno
appeal from the Governors decision He has.
therefore, decided to submit to it. and will make
duties as easy as possible. The new occupant
of this important office will ind large NUMBER
of important and intricate cases confronting
him. and that is one reason why opposed the
suggestion that we should all resign and go out

GARDINER WON'T FIGHT.
WILL ACCEPT THE INEVI-
TABLE IN HIS RE.HOTAL.
THE PRESENT STAFF WILL SERVE UNTIL
REQUESTED To RESIGN-NIR. PHIL
BIN OUTLINES HIS PLANS.

Asa Bird Gardiner made yesterday what Is
probably his first rational decision since he be-
came District Attorney of New-York County.
This was to accept the inevitable as gracefully
as possible and vaeate the Offices OF the District
Attorney without any contest When the news
that Governor Roosevelt had ousted him from
the District Attorneyship of the County OF New
York first reached Mr. Gardiner, on Saturday
night he apparently had more or less clearly
defined intention Of resisting the order in some
way or other. To that end he called meeting
of his staff for yesterday morning at the Demo
cratic Club
After a consultation lasting some time the
meeting broke up to seek legal advice from
the best constitutional lawyers who could be
found on Sunday The staff again met their de-
posed chief at the same place in the afternoon.
and reported that the vast preponderance Of
legal opinion conceded the point that Gardiner
had no appeal from the Governors decision and
therefore must submit. With much reluctance
Mr.. Gardiner came to the same conclusion. and

ARREST IN CUDAHY CASE.
CLUSIVELY THAT HE HAD NOTHING
TO Do WITH KIDNAPPING

Omaha Neb Dec. 23-The mysterious dark
man. in the Cudahy kidnapping case was ar
rested this afternoon by the police, from the
description given by Miss Maud Munshaw, who
lives near the house in which Eddy" Cudahy
was held for ransom by his abductors. His
name is Ed Johnson, and he is laborer in
the Cudahy packing plant, living at Twenty
sixth and Walnut SITS. He admitted having gone
out to the Grover-st. house three times for the
purpose of renting the building. which he found
already let to the Tight man. and his accom-
plices.
johnson was easily able to prove to the
satisfaction of the police and Mr.. Cudahy, who
was called in, that he had nothing to do with
the case and was allowed to return to his wife
and family Chief of Police Donahue is well
pleased with the progress his men are making,
saying that the arrest of Johnson narrows the
case down by eliminating one of the extraneous
features and centring the chief interest about
the light man" who rented the house from
Mrs Schneiderwind. In the mean time the city
is being diligently secured for any sign OF the
other men described by persons living in the
vicinity of the house.
There is still a dark complexioned in
the case but he is larger chan Johnson and
younger Otherwise he is much like Johnson,
having black mustache and dark hair, slight
ly mixed with gray If the police have any idea
who this man is they will not admit it, So far
as they know he seen by only one person,
ana that is EQQle CuQany himself Inc OtiisT
bandit was the light compexioned man. with
the brown hair and long, light mustache slight
of build. and whose age is said to be somewhere
between thirty and thirtyf1ve years.
This individual is described by three persons
besides the Kidnapped boy, namely, +. X. Mum
shaw, James Schneiderwind and Frank Glynn:
He is the man who called at the SchneiderWind
home to engage the cottage at Thlrty-sixth n
and Grover SITS, who called up the Cudany
mansion from Glynns livery stable to give no.
tice of the letters being in the front yard. The
police are satisfied that they know this man,
and If he is the person they think he is he Will
probably be in custody within the next ten
days If guilty he cannot remain al large long,
they say.
F. A. Cudahy, sr., still entertains the theory
that if Pat" Grove not one of the men
who kidnapped his son, he will lose no time in
advising him of this fact. Mr.. Cudahy has be-
friended Grove many times in the past. Why, .
said the packer, " Pat Grove knows perfectly
well that if he had come TO me week ago and
asked me for S25 he would have got 1t. He has
often expressed a sense of gratitude for what |
have done for him, and can hardly believe he
would turn against me in this way.

hope Of as prompt reply possible to a note

London, Dec "A. a. m.-The announcement
made in dispatches from Washington that the
amended Canal Treaty will be sent TO London
represses the ardor Of the press in discussing
the new questions raised by the Senators. There
are no cues from the Foreign Office both
Lord Lansdowne and Lord Cranborne being in
accessible so far London leader writer's are
concerned. and the under officials not being al
lowed 10 say anything about diplomatic affairs
The controversy will not be kept up by the
press at an unreasonable time when the Minis
ters taking a holiday and nobody knows
what view they take OF the vague and academic
quality of the Davis amendment or the precise
effects Of the interpolated clause superseding
the Clayton -Bulwer Treaty or of other changes
ir the convention. Two differences are safely
drawn by men in touch with the diplomatic
circle. One IS that the British Government is
better pleased with the amendment of the treaty
than * would have been with the rejection of
the convention outright and the consequent re-
version TO the Clayton -Bulwer Treaty 1t can
now have the final privilege of examining the
amendments and of either revising or rejecting
them, and is left IN a more digniied position
than It would have occupied If the treaty had
been thrown out altogether at Washington. The
other inference is that the retention of the Suez
rules IN the convention viii enable the Ameri-
can Ambassador here 10 confer with the For
eign Office, and possibly to effect some read
1ustulent or compromise. The prospect of sue
cess may not be hopeful. but it is not outside
the range OF possibilities Public opinion here
has been confused by the contradictory lines
taken by the American correspondents of the
London press. and whatever conclusion is
reached by the Foreign ONCE VIII be accepted

TO BE SHORTENED AT TRENTON.
Trenton Dec 23.-The Pennsylvania Railroad
Company. through local real estate firm, has
purchased about thirty properties in the south
ern part of Trenton. and is negotiating for about
thirty more. These properties are adjacent to
the railroad tracks where they cross the Della
ware River to Morrisville.
None of the railroad officials here will discuss
the object of the purchases. but all the proper
ties are within line that would be followed by
Strengthening the company's tracks. and it Is
unof1cially said that the companys purpose is
TO straighten its tracks in South Trenton and
build a new bridge across the Delaware River.
This would take out IS" curve and reduce
the distance between New-York and Pniladel-
mia about q quarter of a mile. 1t would also
do away with the present necessity OF fast
trains slowing up on the curve
