ETY. are already making preparations
for the coming out ball of Miss Alice
Roosevelt. which will occur soon after
the presidents New Year reception.
There has been very little dancing at
the White House for several years. so
this event is anticipated with especial
interest. The last dancing party at the
executive mansion was given by Mrs
Mckinley in 1899 In honor of the Nc
Kinley nieces. the Misses Barber This
was more In the nature of dinner
dance, however. only a few guests be-
ing present. During the third year of
the Harrison administration an elabo-
rate ball at which many of Washing
toms nOtables attended was given by
Mrs. Mckee. President Harrison's
daughter. This was given in the big
east room and was really the last big
affair OF the kind.
An agreeable addition to the official
and social circles of the capital is At
torney General Knox and family, who
for the first time since he took the oath
Of office. in April last, are permanently
established here. He has purchased
the house built by Mrs. George w.
Childs and occupied by her for several
years in X street, adjoining the prop
erty of Senator Hale. This is an Eng
lish basement house built of cream
brick and ornamented with handsome
ly carved reliefs. The interior is well
suited for the needs of a cabinet Off
Ger. the spacious rooms being so ar
ranged that they may be thrown to

large enough to accommodate the
crowds that throng to Washington re-
ceptions.
Mrs. Knox is woman of much per
sonal beauty and possesses the charm
and grace that come through long So
cfal experience. There are four chill
dren in the family-one daughter, Miss
Rebekah Knox. who will be warmly
welcomed by the young people of the
cabinet, and three sons. Reed. Hugh
and Philander, who are sturdy young
Americans. The Knox home at the

In the old aliases Mr.. Grosvenor finds
that imaginative mapmakcrs took
much for granted in the undiscovered
countries and laid out geographical di-
visions according to their own indiyid-
ual fancieS. Their lack of real knowl-
edge Is. however, brought into sharp
relief by comparative maps showing
in black the unknown regions Of n hun
dred years ago and the land that today
remains uneXplOred.
In 1900. for example. the great conti-
nent of Africa is shown as all black
except for little white rim along the

are thoroughly representative Of IL,
thirty-one states being represented
wholly or in part by new men. Among
them is an unusual number of compar-
atively young men. with bright, eager.
intelligent features, which bespeak an
earnest ambition to serve their country
well and faithfully. How far they will
succeed time will tell. There are also
among the new faces many that are
strikingly handsome, though the num-
Der OF quaint characters and individu-
ais OF picturesque appearance is some
what below the average.
There is almost score of million
aires among the newcomers, the most
prominent OF whom Is Oliver II. Z.
Belmont, who comes from the Thir-
teenth New York district With clear
cut face and regularly chiseled fea-
ures and arrayed In faultlessly fash
ionable attire. he Is one of the figures
on the floor most frequently pointed
out from the galleries. Mr.. Belmont is
a brother Of Perry Belmont, who serv-
ed in the Forty-ninth and Fiftieth con-
crosses. 1t is intimated that the latter
may have a seat in this congress, and
we will have the rather unusual coinci-
dence of two brothers serving as repre-
sentatives i'm the same house from the
same section. Congressman Nicholas
Muller recently resigned from the Sew
enth New York district. and it is un-
derstood that Perry Belmont is willing
and likely to be elected TO fill the va
cancy.
There is in this congress the usual
prepoEderance OF lawyers over other
professions, but there Is quite a sprin-
king of substantial and successful
business men, whose knowledge OF
practical affairs will be useful in legis-
lation. Altogether ii seems TO be
thoroughly representative body Of
American citizens.
With the opening of congress new
life is infused into Washington society.
though the social season does not fairly
begin until after the presidents New
Years reception. The households of
the foreign ENJOYS. which constitute a
prominent factor in the social life Of
the national capital, are again estab-
lished here. nearly all OF the diploma
fists and their families having return
ed from their summer outings.
One of the ambassadors who was
not expected to return. but who has
come back to Washington by order of
his government. Is Count Cassini, the
representative Of the cZar. whose spe-
cial object will be to straighten out the
tariff tangle in which we have become
involved with Russia. The Russian en-
bassy will be the center of much social
brilliancy this season. the first OF these
functions having already occurred. 1t

OFFICIALS PLAN TO
MEET THE Deficit
Report to Be Made to Municipal
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS From POI
lice Courts Decreased.

The large financial deficit confronting the
city and extending into nearly all municipal
departments Is the problem that engaged
the attention Of City Comptroller Sturgeon
and First Assistant City Comptroller Gabel
yesterday afternoon Separately they have
prepared detailed statements In the last few
weeks relating to every phase OF the fnan-
cial difficulty, and they met yesterday after
noon to discuss a practical temporary solu-
ton In order to afford as much relief as
possible In the remainder OF the fiscal year.
All the facts and figures that they have
collected and arranged. with conclusions
and recommendations. finally will be ten
dered to the Municipal Assembly. but IT ap-
pears very probable that the subject will
first be considered by the Ways and Means
committees OF the Council and House In
executive sessions before the public Is made
acquainted with all the details
In his last report Mr.. Sturgeon anticipate
ed that the shortage at the end Of this fiscal
wear would aggregate LOIS. $3.50. and fndt-
cations now suggest that his prediction may
be more than fulfilled. IL is impossible TO
estimate the real deficiency existing at this
time, but the shortage Is known 70 De large
and extensive.
The deficit will be felt by February ].
when the various departments will be In
need of more money. II Is Slid that the
Comptroller will possibly discover a means
to assist officials until April. but the Comp
troller recently has not had much hope OF
indicating a method. He stated a short
time ago tina there IL no way to divert
money to municipal revenue. The officials
whose departments are affected most by the
deficit are confident that the coming con-
ferences will result in the finding of a tenn
porary remedy.
fact shown by official records Is that
the revenue from the police courts has de-
creased
