THE NEW YEAR.
MANY brilliant Receptions. No RubOlic
Announcement but the Callers
we.s Numerous.

The President aud his cabinet held
receptions New Year day. The visitors
at the Executive MarSion were numer-
Gus. The reception held by the
Cabinet officers was brilliant. Since
there was no public announcement of
those who in ended to Tec-ive New
Years day one would conclude that
no receptions were being held at all
but those VINO faild TO call on their
old friends on last Thursday missed A
treat, because every here The BIZ
representative called he found many
distinguished callers and ladies re-
CeiVing them. in pretty an handsome
dresses. Open houses on New Year
are now becoming absolute and many
have long since ceased publishing
the fact that tbeV are receiving their
friends on this na iOnal day Of pleas
ure. Society ladies argue that while
they don't publish their New Year
receptions, if their friends chose to call
they may do so 1t Is a right view TO
axe. A surprise greeted The BEE
wherever a call was made, because no
announcement was made of a reception
and in many houses their were from
eight to ten ladies gOrgeOusly DIRE sed
wailing ready to receive those who
called.
Among a few Of the most not4ble re-
ceptlonS held were those Of Miss Marie

She was assisted by Misses Eva A.
Chase, Mammie Beckett, EsteIle Cum

beautiful.
Mrs. Turner at 1922 Columbia street

Mrs Fields at 1927 Vermont Ave. held
a most brilliant reception. About ten
Young ladies were in the receiving
party.
The sidence Of Miss 4. P. Robb and
Madame Taylor was the scene Of n
very brilliant reception on New Years
day. The ladies were assisted by Miss
Murry and Stephens of New York, and
the Misses 4 Stelle and IsadOra Jackson
Of Harrisburg. Pa. Miss Rubb was

Of Abdul Hamid's life. He looks on
Christianity as dead, while the spirit
which conquered half the world is only
dormant in his people.
To the hands of the omnipotent, ON
niscient sultan converge all the
threads. The caliph is indefatigable
Rising early, he works harder than
London accountant. For hours he re-
ceives a procession of secretaries, min
listers, ulemas, dragOmans, petitioners,
emissaries from all parts of the world.
When their turn comes they find that
the sultan knows all about their busi-
ness, and disposes of it without asking
anyone's advice, that he has cogni-
zance of everything that passes in his
empire, inchoate and loosely governed
as it appears to be"
The sultan's favOrite theory in cross
examination is that, given enough rope,
any man Will hang himself.
The sultan is, in fact, triumphant.
He made fools of the French over Nifty
Iene, and has used the Germans as an
instrument He is a parsimOniOus
man; he hates equally wasting money
and paying salaries, and millions upon
millions of his revenues remain unac-
counted for and never see the light of
day. Is he piling up war chest fOrfu-
ture use? Capt. Gambler evidently
thinks so. And there is every reason
why he should. for "MOhammedanism
is as mighty a force in the world as
Catholicism-all the more so because

NO EFFECT ON PRESIDENCY

Whatever changes might have esul-
ted fro total elimination of the negro
vote prior TO 1896 it is quite obvious
that its ell nlnatlOl would have had NJ
effect upon the result of the last two
residential elections. Nor isl likely
it would have had any preCepible
effect uOon the political complexion
of the House or Senate. though there
is a possibility that it might have lost
the r ifIy- eighth House to the Republi-
c ans.
1t is quite clear that if the blacks of
the North III mass should abandon
their present allies and go over 10 the
DemO[-ats, The long, Interrupted
RenubliCaE domination in several Stat eS
would at once cease. .aud it woul be
c hme very precarious in as many more.
Such sweenlng rOIiticalIeactiOn is not
anticipated by either party. But there
Is supposed to be some unrest among
the blacks, and general assumption
among Republican leaders that the
fight over the lilly White appoint
ments at the South is being carefully
r1anqged by the Democratic leaders
more with a view TO shake the allie
glance Of the Northern blac ks than to
vlndicate wlite supremacy at the South.

Under the somewhat misleading title
Of Macedonian IDtrigues and Their
Fruits" Capt. Gambler, X. n, contrib
utes 10 the Fortnightly Review a very
remarkable and extremely interesting
article upon Turkey and her future;
or, more correctly, upon the Turks
and the Mohammedans generally, and
their present state and future aspira-
uons. With the Macedonian problem,
which is the nominal subject of his ar
ncle, Capt. Gambler deals briefly, his
main points being that none Of the
Macedonian races is fl TO dominate the
country, and that the true MacedOni-
ans are the Moslems. He ridicules the
idea of degenerate Greece founding a
new ByZantium via Macedonia, and
SCOTS at the idea of Italian preten-
sions in Albania. Left sjnglehanded
IN an encounter with Turkey in AL
bania or in Tripoli. the fiasco of the
Abyssinian campaign would be repeat
e6 ten-fold"
1t is the Turk who is really on top in
the east, and he intends TO remain so.
There is no question of degeneracy in
that quarter. The Turk is not an expir-
ing race. When we remember how the
Ottoman empire has dWindled away we
are apt TO think of the Turks as a dying
people. But looking under the sur
face, and remembering that Islamism
is a matter of faith, not of territory,
one can well agree with many MOslems
that the shTinkage of their power in
Europe is not a misfortune. A deep
thinking Turk once remarked to Capt.
Gambler: He would be a bold man
who would predict that the polytheism
of the Christian would not give place in
another 600 years to the less cOmpli-
Gated belief in the one God of Moham-
med" The 600 years represent the ad
vantage in age which Christianity has
had over Islamism.
