The New Year.

The glad New Year will be to all
Just what they make it, spring or fall,
With love or hate at every call
By mortals on this rolling ball.
The New Year opens wide it's gate
To every one in home or~state.
And all the gifts Of smiling fate
Shah come to those who work and wait.
The New Year with its flowers and grain,
Revived by every sun and rain.
Shall Danish every grief and pain
OF those who work for love and gain.
The fresh New Year may be our last
But let us strive through every blast
In this wide world SO grand and vast
To do some good before it's past.
JOHN A. JOYCE.

iuhSS III JANUARY
The New Year festivities at the home
of the Secretary of the Interior and Mrs.
Garfield closed last night by small
dance given in honor of their eldest son,
who is home from college for the holidays.
The Detroit Sunday News-Tribune says
of a recent event. which is also of local
interest. the following:
One of the most beautiful balls ever
given in this city was the one which
celebrated the debut into Detroit society
of Miss Carol Newberry. given by her
parents. the assistant secretary of the
navy and Mrs. Truman H. Newberry. at
Strasburg's academy last Thursday even
ing. Miss Newberry was recently pre-
Sented to Washington society, and upon
her return to her home city host of
friends crowded to greet her at her ball.
About 800 guests were present, and the
place never looked prettier. The scheme
of arrangement was a novel one, repre-
sentlng gorgeous italian garden, eX-
quisitely beautiful in it's settings of mar
BILE pillars with trailing vines of green.
At either end of the hall immense col
umnS supported crOSSbeams. giving the
pergola effect overhead, while over these
croSSpieces was wound southern Smilax,
from which We're suspended drop lights
in frosted globes. The galleries were
transformed by lattices into Italian bal
comics, and chairs were arranged for
quiet chats amid palms and ferns. Laurel
and ceraSuS trees abounded, aiding in the
Italian effect, and wreaths of the scarlet
poinsettia surrounded the electric lights,
casting a deep glow over the scene.
Square jardinieres held large bouquets of
poinsettias and were placed at the base
of each arch: along the balcony rail. tiny
red lights were concealed by the flowers,
which added a luster to the decorations.
Altogether the plan, was of striking
splendor and gave the impression of
stepping into sunny Italy. in the gardens
of one of the palaces of Milan.
In the receiving line were Mrs. Tru-
man H. Newberry. Miss Carol and Mr..
Newberry. They stood on a large rug in
front of a screen which bore the many
handsome bouquets that had been pre-
sented to Miss Newberry.
The debutante wore a beautiful dress
of white net and lace, with flowing Vene-
silver. In her hair she wore a semi
wreath of small white flowers, and she
carried an immense bouquet of green or
childs. mignonette, stevia and pink roses.
Mrs. Newberry wore white net heavily
trimmed in gold sequins. She had an
aigrette in her hair and carried bouquet
of red roses.
The ball was given mostly for the
younger set, and the debutante and COL
lege boy and girl. home for the holiday
vacation, made up the majority Of the
merry party. Several guests from out
of town were present. A buffet supper
night.
The friends of Mrs. McCardle of 18th
street will be glad to learn she is recov-
ering from a dangerous attack of the
grip.

URGES DEMOCRATS TO
MAKE A TARIFF BILL
Not Enough to Merely Oppose What Re.
publicans, Offer, claytOn's View.

Washington, Dec 29.--Henry ID. Clay.
ton Of Alabama, chairman Of the Demo
cratic caucus Of the House Of Represen.
tatiyes, yesterday expressed his views
as to the Democratic attitude in the
proposed revision OF the tariff. He said
he had confidence in the capacity OF
Champ Clark and his Democratic asso-
ciatcs Of the ways and means committee,
but he did not believe it impertinence
to offer some suggestions.
"ln my opinion it is not sufficient for
the Democrats In the next Congress to
assume an attitude Of simple negation
and merely oppose what the Republicans
offer. We must formulate an entire
tariff bill, covering every schedule from
agates TO zinc and 60 to the committee
Of the whole with it, champion it, de-
mand revision on its every schedule and
ask for the yeas and nays on il in the
House The bill should be carefully CON
sidered in principle and in detail--in
short, ii should be a measure we can go
TO the country on. We want complete

who claim that alien musicians are being
brought into this country In large num-
bers under contract.
The president was told that IN New
York City whole orchestras Of aliens
have been brought TO hotels, and that
the same was true as 70 chicago ana
other cites.
The president also was told that the
foreigners included many Meucans, and
that il the laws were interpreted diiIer-
emily by the immigration service OF the
department OF commerce and labor, the
invasion could be stopped. Not only
were American musicians losing their po'
sitions, he was told, but the foreigners
were cutting prices.
The president gave the visitors a
note to Secretary Straus Of the depart
ment OF commerce and labor, asking that
a full report be made to him as to
the charges.

KEY 10 ErRuscAN FOUND.
The Inscriptions Translated by Pro
lessor Hempi.

@~SrNe %A~aefsf
Stanford University, Cal, Dec. co.
Professor George lIempl, professor Of
philology at Leland Stanford Junior
university, il quoted as saying that ne
has discovered a key 70 ancient in
sciptions ON Etruscan tomhs and
columns that he regards as more inn
portant that his solution of inserip-
lions ON German ruins. Professor
Ilempl declares that his find will have
farreaching results ON Latin history
and on disputed facts of Latin gram
mar and etymology. While only fifty
Etruscan Inscriptions out of mass Of
eight thousand have thus far been de-
ciphered by Professor Hempl, the trans
lation of these, he says, indicates that
the history OF ancient Italy, as written
at present, must be greatly modified.
The theory that the Etrusmns and
the Latins were different peoples Is
exploded by these readings, declares
Professor Hempel. AS interpreted by
him, the language of these neighboring
tribes are alike in all important re-
spects save the writing thereof. The
conclusion he reaches Is that the two
nations sprang from the same primeval
race. Or. Hempel says that the Etrus-
cans were descendants OF the Trojans
after the fall Of Troy, thus corroborat-
ing the story of VirgiPs Aeneid DR..
Jordan, president of Stanford uniyer-
sity, said that DR.. Hempel had made
important discoveries in the decipher-
ing of these Etruscan inscriptions and
would create important changes in our
views Of the ancient histories in our
views of the ancient histories of Rome
and Greece.
