AS NEVER BEF0 RE.
How New York VIII Celebrate the
Advent Of the New Year.

New York. Dec. BIN spite of finan-
cial f1urries and hard times, New York
will tonight celebrate the incoming of
the new year as 1T has never been cell
ebrated here before. For months all
the tables in the fashionable restau-
rants and hotels have been engaged
and the man who hasn't arranged for
z seat for himself will have hard work
finding place to dine tonight. Special
preparations have been made at the
and in most of them announcement has
been made that nothing in the drink
line except champagne will be served
during the evening.
At the Plaza hotel where a number
of the operate stars who are appear
ing at the two opera houses reside,
Nahan Franko's orchestra will play
and at midnight Caruso, who is a guest
at the hotel, will sing the Chime song
from 1.-THE Chimes of Normandy" in
the main dining room. Caruso asked
the hotel management to allow him to
sing, a request which was readily
granted. Each diner will be provided
with q tiny bell which is supposed to
song. Scott, Nine Nordica and other
noted singers, will be present and it is
expected that the charm of the hour
will add their voices to that of Caruso.
The management of the Cafe Martin
has announced an innovation for the
evening as an experiment. The rule
against women smoking will be abroga-
ted for the night at least. New York
has never adopted the European style
so far as women smoking in public is
concerned and no firSt-clasS restaurant
in town allows it. Tonight's experiment
at Martins may change the rule, which
has so far prevented a woman from in
dulging in an after dinner cigarette in
a public dining room.
The reservation Of tables in all of
the popular restaurants in town, those
In the cross streets and down town as
well as those in Broadway and Fifth
avenue has broken all records and it is
estimated that more than 100000 people
Will see the old year out in various pub
lie dining rooms. The theaters, which
have not been particularly successful
in New York this winter, announce
enormous sales for tonight and, taken
all together, it seems probable that the
celebration will be the biggest of the
kind the city has ever seen.

Two Imported Belgian Bloodhounds
Sent to Hospital.

New York Dec. 31.-Two of the inn
ported Belgian bloodhounds which are
being trained for work in the police de-

Congressman William Chapman
Hawley, of the First district of Ore.
gon, has declared himself in opposi-
ton to third term for President

1t appears that Congressman Camp

ably have to make fight for the
nomination before he is again elected.

who is a candidate for the republican
nomination for governor of New

the race for governor at the next
biennial election.
It is announced that Governor Cum
minis, of Iowa, will be candidate for
the United States senate to succeed
Senator William B. Allison, subject

to Endorsement at next years primary
election. Whether Senator Allison
will also be candidate is not defin-
ftely known.
It is reported that secret but per

The discovery has caused stir

Several of the local preachers have
severely denounced the advertise
ments of a mining company which
have been running in many papers
throughout the state for number of
weeks. Letters have been received in
which the declaration is made that
the writer of the advertisements in
question must be without proper re-
spect for the Christian religion or the
holy bonds of matrimony.
In one of the letters the statement
is made that the writer of the object
ionable advertisements is actually
worse than impious-in other words
an infdel, and a man without hope of
future life, and apparently little be
lief in this.
It appears that the educational par
agraphs are confined to only two of
the advertisements published down to
date, one of which was printed on
May % under the caption of sTimid-
. ity," and the other on May 20 under
the caption Of "Cupidity.'' These adj
vertisements appeared simultaneously
In many papers throughout the state,
B and the severely criticised portions
form the first mentioned advertise
ment are as follows: E
If you are too timid to take advan-
s tage of an opportunity when it is Of
fered you, there is very little chance
for you to get ahead in this world, or
the next. S.
aOf course there. may be better
chances in the next world, but if that
is what you are waiting for, then we
have come to the parting of the ways
ITO lay up treasure in heaven is an
excellent proposition in the abstract;
but it doesn't lay any kind of founda,
ton in the concrete, which means the
ever living present.

ure in this world we can help You, but
we disclaim any ability to assist Of
guide You in piling up a fortune il

The offending paragraph in the sec
ond article headed s.Cupidity" are as
follows

world began, and it will continue to
be true until the end of time.
g Faint heart ne'er won fair lady,.

in opposition that a faint hearted man
never won fortune.
sIf you are going to take a throw.
at matrimony, you are bound to be-
come one of the principals inthe rank
est kind of lottery. You are actually
taking chances when you embrace
religion, because religions are many.
and it is no copper-riveted cincsl that
the particular brand that you select
will lead you within the pearly gates.
| aCupidity is one of the dominant
traits of human nature. Say what
you please, it is the hope Of gain that
animates the people of the world. It
/ is the main spring OF all human en-
deavor. It is the magic wand that
has given us our railroads, our inven-
lions, our Injuries, our very bread
land butter.
Moralists may tell you that the
hope of gain is one of the baser aims
of humanity. Preachers may tell you
that the search for the spiritual life
is the one thing needful, but the hard
common sense of the people tell them
better. The same hard common sense
tells them it is money makes the mare
i go, and that money is gain.
The facts in the case are that the
writer of these advertisements is a
gentleman Of culture and refinement,
j deeply imbued with religious senti-
4 ment and belief, and if the truth were
i known, perhaps much more orthodox
than many Of those who condemn him.
