NEW YEARS RECEPTIONS.
Origin of the Annual Levees at the
White House.

Origin of the Annual Levees at the
White House.
New Years day has been from the
foundation Of the nation, the occasion
Of reception by the president Of the
United States. Before the seat Of gov
ernment was moved to Washington
New Years receptions were among the
presidential levees Of Washington and
Adams, and these have been regularly
held since. They have always been at
tended by the diplomatic corps, cabi-
net officers, members Of congress and
citizens. Sometimes much ceremony
was observed and at others there has
been no ceremony other than a simple
presentation, this act being performed
for many years by the incumbents Of
the office Of superintendent Of public
buildings or the marshal Of the dis
trict. The first reception in Washing
ton, New Years day Of 1901, was held
by President and Mrs. Adams, and,
though the east room Of the executive
mansion was unfinished and another
room was used. it Is stated that all the
formality and etiquette Of royalty were
observed. During the term Of Presi-
dent Jefferson his daughters spent one
season with him, and putting aside the
etiquette and formality Of his prede-
cessors, he. abolished the levees, with
the exception of those on New Years
day and the Fourth Of July. Callers
were shown to long tables, where Vir-
ginia hospitality was dispensed, and
it is said the market bills made were
lover $50 for each occasion"
During the administration Of Mr..
Madison, though the country was in
the throes Of war, the New Years re-
ceptions were held, at which Mrs.
Some Of them. while the executive
mansion was being rebuilt after the
burning, were held at the Octagon
house, Eighteenth street and New
York avenue. Mr.. Monroe went into a
house rebuilt and newly furnished, and
with Mrs. Monroe as the successor Of
Queen Dolly Madison" levees, espe-
cially on New Years day, were the
features of Washington life. The
terms Of Mr.. Monroe were regarded as
those of good feeling, and this fact had
much to do with the success Of the
social entertainments.
During the following administration,
that Of John Quincy Adams elected
by the house,) much Of the previous
good feeling was absent, yet 1t was a
social success due to the tact Of Mrs
Adams, for she not only kept up the
evening levees and New Years recep-
tions, but attended to providing the
refreshments served and presided over
the frequent dinners. She tactfully
avoided all subjects Of controversy.
In the term Of Andrew Jackson the
old custom Of holding New Years re-
ceptions and levees was kept up, the
wife Of Andrew Jackson Donelson be-
ing the hostess, and the general, in or
der to keep up the hospitality to which
he had been accustomed, had to draw
heavily on his private means.-Wash-
ington Star.

THE EXPANSION OF YEARS.
The Country Develops Suddenly
Along Lines Thought to be ImpOs-

| sible.
Four years ago there was no organic
ed popular sentiment in favor Of an
isthmian canal. In perfunctory way
nearly everyone assented to a general
proposition that it would be a good
] thing to have a channel cut through
the narrow strip Of land between
North and South America. But who
then thought of the canal in Its broad
er character, as great highway for
the commerce Of tine world.
Four years ago the idea Of a tele-
graph cable across the Pacific was
day dream Of science but night mare
Of capital. Today the cable Is an as
sured fact, with American enterprise
behind 1t, whether the government as
sumes the labor and expense Of lay
ing 1t or merely lends its encourage
ment to the undertaking in private
hands.
Four years ago every movement to
build up an army and navy beyond the
mere skeleton, was frowned upon by
peaceFovers everywhere. Today we
have a land force potentially four
| times as large as the maximum author
lied for a generation after the civil
war, whilst our armament on the sea
has advanced proportionately.
Four years ago what meaning had
the word reciprocity in American
ears? How the marvel grows then,
when we find President Mckinley, the
arch-champion of protection and the
home market, uttering almost with
his dying lips, prayer for a commerce
based on the ideal Of the universal
brotherhood of man!
The most remarkable fact in the ex-
tension Of the American outlook Is
that it is so well balanced. It stretch
es eastward through the new relations
formed between the United States and
the leading powers Of Europe. 1t
stretches westward through the new
grasp our nation has taken upon Asia.
It stretches northward through the re-
vival Of that fraternal feeling which al
ways underlies common language and
a common law. 1t stretches southwark
| through the remainder most forcibly
conveyed in the treaty Of Paris, that
the Monroe doctrine is still a living
principle in American diplomacy

There Is one safe procedure in re-

At present, visitor to Cleveland, es-
pecially If he has much street car
riding to do, runs the risk of contract

inconsiderable at the present time.

New York was surprised one morning,
after the production of farce comedy,
to learn of new stage character
which was originated by a woman who
had not been particularly prominent
before, but whose originality and
delicate and charmingly portrayed
of new type of
stage character had made her famous
in night. The newspapers gave
much Of the space they devoted to the
criticism Of the comedy, to praise for
Miss Rose Melville and the delightful
ly quaint stage figure of isis Hop
kins," which she had presented; a
gawky, awkward country girl of CEN
tral Indiana, dressed in gingham,
speaking with the oldest and most
alluring dialect, and ooverflowing with
wit and wisdom, and philosophy of the
homeliest type. 1t was all new, it was
all quaint.
Three years ago play was written
for Miss Melville, and under the direc-
tion of MI, j. r. Stirling, she began
her first tour as star. Her success
was immediate and pronounced, and
everywhere the play was seen, return
engagements were asked for. Even in
the first season it was found necessary
to charge her route more than once to
meet the demands of theatre goers and
managers. The second and third sea.
sons were repetition of the successes
Of the first, and this year when Miss
Melville makes her fourth tour as a
star under Mr.. Strings direction, she
will maintain the reputation of being
the most successful woman star on
the road. isis Hopkins comes to the
