New York is en- fete once every year

gates is prone to believe II he
trusts to first impressions, rhat the New

brilliantly illuminated Broadway is the
scene of a panoramic pageant each night

fare with pleasure seekers in quest of the
ever pursued New Sensation. But how diff

New Years Eve Ordinarily after night
has set In and the slanting shadows give
way to the myriads of the electric lights
that blaze the trail, Broadway is reckoned
as a thoroughfare extending from Twenty
third street on the South, to Fifty-ninth
street on the North. This constitutes the
confines of the Real Rialto, or Great
White Way, as some are wont to desig-
nate It, but on the one great occasion of
the year, hours before the dying year
has breathed its last the thoroughfare is
alive. with mad, rollicking, pleasure bent

the south to the extreme northern limit

Old Trinity Church for years past has
been the scene OF the densest gathering
OF these crowds, who surge about the
forbidden iron-spiked fence which encloses
its yards where hundreds Of old Knicker'
bockers sleep. to hear the sweet chimes
from its tail spire ring out the old and

shifts to the northward and again the
same scenes are enacted at Grace Church,

Every noise-p producing contrlvance known
to man is pressed into service. Takers
line the sidewalks, finding eager and
greedy purchasers for their cowbells. po-
licemen's rattles, horns. sirens, auto
mile honks or anything that will tend to
raise its voice above the din. The early
hours of the evening are spent In the
Broadway theaters by many, but before
II o'clock the playhouses dismiss their
audiences, and from then on the crowds
In the street become SO dense that they
are compelled to take to the middle OF

H ,MIRAL DEWEY remarked the other
- ny: 1.-The manner of celebrating
y New Years Day In Washington has
undergone a complete change since ! was
a young man. In the old days pretty
much everybody at the capital kept open
house and served callers with eggnog and
other appetizing stand-bys of the occa-
sion. Now all the entertaining on the
opening day of the year Is official and In
q sense more formal" The note of re-
greet In the Admiral's comment was, how
ever, merely the individuals lament be
cause of the loss of something of the
hospitality ana good-fellowship that pre-
vailed in bygone holidays. The average
citizen--the interested onlooker at the
show-spplauds the transformation that
has taken place because the preseDtday
festivities are much more spectacular than
were those of a third of century ago
To be sure, the Presidents great recep-
ton at the White House was then. as
now, the chief feature of New Years Day
at Uncle Sans seat of government, but
this official dress parade has grown in
splendor as the years have passed. Nova
days there Is more fuss and feathers. so

lace. and a Drawer array Of Partisan MILL

feminine spectators. The nation has grown

new Importance Is nowhere more strik-
Ingly reflected than In the White House
levee that ushers in the new year.
Another circumstance has added to the
significance of the Presidents New Year
reception from quite a different stand
point. In years gone by, when possibly
the social and other responsibilities Of
the nations ruler and his wife were not
so heavy as at preseut,'it was customary
to hold at the White House each year
at least three or four gatherings known
as public receptions" at which all COM
ers were welcome. Some of the mistresses
Of the White House, notably popular Mrs.
Cleveland, supplemented these with sort
OF matinee receptions" designed espe-
ciaily for women who desired to greet the
Presidents wife and the ladies Of the
Cabinet There is nothing Of this sort
nowadays. The President and Mrs. Roose-
welt hold various receptions each year,
but, with the exception of the New Years
gathering, they are open only to those
who have received Invitations. admittance
being by nontransferable card.
In consequence of this change OF social
policy the big reception on the first day

OIL Wen. Under the Pacific Ocean.

Oii Wehs OhueF tne F"cA"o Oc@A"'
In Southern California near Santa Bar
bara along the slope Of the Pacific ocean
they have drilled oil wells under the
waves along the beach. Some of the
wells are as much as a quarter Of a
mile out In the water and long slender
piers have been built out into the waves.
The oil is dipped out of shafts run down
into the rocks beneath the sea and is
rich In asphalt
None of the oil Is visible on the sur
face Of the sea but 1t was found that
the oil strata ran to the water edge and
engineers figured out that under the
water there must be still more Of the
valuable oil locked under the rocks Bor-
ing under the water they soon reached
the oil strata and now there are as many
as thirty oil producing wells which lie
entirely under the ocean.

Rice MlII For Natchsz.
(Natchez Democrat.)

It was stated several days ago
that a number of planters of Con-
cordia aud Tensas parishes, La,
and local men who own planta-
tions in these parishes, had ar
ranged to 60 in for rice culture
next year. Following this an
nouncement comes a report from
a we'll informed gentleman who
says that plans for the organiza-
ton of a rice mill company are
under way and that the thing is
as good as settled.
The rice mill is to built i'll
Natchez aud it will be ready for
business before the end of next
year, which will bring the plant
within the municipal exemption
from taxation for a period Of ten
years.
Natchez grants this exemption
to certain manufacturing indus
tries established before January
1, 1910.
